Katara is 18 and the Southern Watertribe has been uneasy allies with the Fire Nation for the last 100 years. When Katara's tribe faces a food shortage, she takes a drastic step to ensure survival; enrolling herself in The Prince's Choice, a competition in the Fire Nation where Prince Zuko will choose a future wife from 35 girls. Zutara Selection!Au

When Zuko's archaeologist uncle sends him an artifact from a dig, Zuko can't imagine that it would change his life. Katara is now his djinn and she grants him fifteen wishes, but what's a brooding rich boy to wish for?

Azula hatches a plan that leaves Katara as an unwilling member of the Gunners Fold which is an organisation of assassins in the Fire Nation. There is no avatar. She never met Aang or Iroh or Zuko. And Sokka is the only family she has left. Zutara Rated T for a generally huge death theme and dark feeling.

When Katara is taken to Zuko's ship, Sokka and Aang are devistated. When Katara awakens she is afraid to find Zuko asleep in a chair next to her bed. As she begins to live on the ship, will Katara stay loyal to her friends or become close to the enemy?
