Title: Imperfectly Perfect
Pairing/Characters: Zuko/Katara
Setting/Time: Post-series
Drabble #: 7
Summary: Perfection comes in many forms.
They first meet after the war on a stormy night, with the wind howling and the sea raging around them. They don't see each other at first, and when they do, it is with slight irritation. If it had been any other way, history would be different.
They begin their mutual dancing-around-each-other on a quiet afternoon, when she suddenly realises he is definitely male and he realises she is definitely female and they share some semblance of an accidental kiss. It turns out the worse for them when Toph walks in on them and Iroh somehow finds out.
They get married on a spring day, settle for the in-between of summer and autumn. Sokka tries to strangle him and she tries to play matchmaker for Ty Lee, but somehow, it all goes upside-down and crashes down around her heads. It is disjointed and messy, but nice all the same.
They argue and fight, but either way, they wouldn't be them without it.
They are fire and water and coexistent but not, and they are pieces of a badly fitting puzzle wedged together so tightly it cannot be undone.
And they aren't perfect; never have been and never will be, but somehow, they like it better this way.
A/N: Another random plotbunny. Drabble nine will expand on the wedding. Drabble eight will be a Toph-centric Zuko/Katara drabble. Well, I think so, but I actually need to write them first.
