Hello everybody. Well, here's a little top of my head one-shot AU little thing…. Hope you enjoy, Zutarians.
Disclaimer: I don't own A:tLA, nor do I make any money off this fic. (I wish….)
Zuko leaned back on the queen bed, folding his arms behind his bed. The Season Finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender was on, and Mike and Bryan had promised that some Zutara would happen.
He watched in silence as Katara got thrown in the cave with him. A slow smile began to spread across his face when he saw them fight. Just like real life….. he thought, smirking at the screen. He fully expected the two characters to start making out right there, for he could practically taste the UST in the air. However, it didn't happen. His smirk began to wane as Katara's hand left his scar, and disappeared altogether when she went to embrace the Avatar.
"Katara!" Zuko yelled. "They messed it up!"
He heard his wife rummaging around in the bathroom, and waited for her outburst.
"What??" she screeched at him, pausing the live TV (thank god for TiVo). "What??" she repeated as she rewound the finale, playing it again when she went to go embrace Aang. "But they promised!" she spluttered, her tan face going red. "I know, dear, I know." Zuko pulled her into his lap as she stared at the TV, stroking her unbound hair.
"But…." Katara just couldn't get over it. Mike and Bryan had personally called them to tell them that the TV show would incorporate the happenings of real life! Apparently, they had changed their minds.
"Well, maybe they forgot." said Zuko lamely, running his fingers through his hair. "Maybe the Kataang shippers got to them."
Katara wheeled around in anger. "How many times to I have to post this on their damn forums?" she said angrily. She was looking for her laptop, for it seemed to have been misplaced. Finally, she found it, and stomped back over to Zuko with it. She powered it on with a touch, and in minutes, she had gotten to one of many infernal Kataang websites. Her fingers punched the keys so hard Zuko thought they would break off.
"Calm down, love." he said, planting a warm kiss to her neck. She turned, offering him her lips. He took them, claiming his territory with the aggression that had attracted Katara in the first place. She sighed when he broke off, and turned back to the keys.
"Do you think now they'll get the point?" she said quietly, her mood changing abruptly. The shippers and fangirls had finally gotten to her…
Zuko leaned over to brush back her hair with his free hand. "Well, if it makes you more happy, just remember…" He paused, his hot breath in her ear.
"That's fantasy, love. And this," He gestured around their room, his hand sweeping across the large expanse. "This is real life."
Just a little love for you people who are despairing over the finale... Get over it. They'll never let Kataang or Maiko happen.
