Race strategist!Zuko x F1 driver!Katara, anyone? 🏎💨
Katara, the talented yet struggling driver without a proper strategist, finds an unlikely partner in her former go-kart rival, Zuko, the scion of a racing dynasty permanently left without a seat. 🏁
Thank you to @azehearts for bringing my imagination to life! It all really started with my wanting to see Katara in a racing suit beside her car which she helped design. (Katara talking about aerodynamics and doing all those reflex exercises?! 🥵). So it’s been real fun to see Aze do her magic on this commission ♡

Happy birthday to the best boy ❤️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[DO NOT REPOST] Actor AU • In which they celebrate his best birthday to date (his own words, not mine) in a field of pretty flowers. Happy birthday to the best boi ♡ The part 2 of this verse (inspired by Zendaya's post) was brought to you by @avenuecab​! Forever grateful for the attention to detail as she managed to create something much, much better than what I envisioned. Got super soft when I saw her take on actors!Zutara as teenagers and then as young adults 🥹  (I got longer conversations in mind for Zuko's birthday but ahhh, I don't have much free time these days to finalize anything 🥲)
Part I | Song that fits this particular piece.

Actor AU · In which they finally went IG official. Happy birthday to the best girl ♡
This actor AU piece based on the TomDaya birthday post was commissioned from @avenuecab​. Thank you! Also, huge thanks to Bear for figuring out Zuko and Katara's birthdates (since they don't have official ones, smh) last year. Yup, Katara is a Cancer while Zuko is a Leo. 🫶 
Shoutout to my Manang, Mariah, Fiona, Jo, Kari, and Zainab for helping me out with Zuko's caption and username! #TeamEffortYarn #AsAnOverthinker
The whole thing went through countless of revisions lmfao my smau-making skills have gotten rusty, but it was a fun exercise (and warm-up?). Got plenty of ideas for this AU and fingers crossed I get to have the time to flesh them all out soon 🤞

Maligayang pasko from this part of the world! Just like Zuko and Katara here, may love, warmth, and peace find you this season 🎄
Huge thanks to @azehearts for this Christmas salubong piece featuring catara and catko. I have so much love for spaces that feel used and lived in and Aze delivered. All I told her was that Zuko and Katara have just moved in together in time for Christmas, enjoying each other's presence in the stillness of the last hour of Christmas eve. No big words, no grand gestures.
Despite the lack of glamorous or Instagram-worthy celebrations, there's a different kind of magic about celebrating the holidays with someone you consider your home. Someone who stays up with you to clean up long after the guests have left. Someone who knows your heart and has seen every inch of your soul... and stayed. Ultimately, someone who gives you peace. My Christmas wish is that you find that someone. Be it in a lover, a friend, or in yourself. Merry Christmas and happy holidays! 💜
PS. What do you think will Zuko and Katara name their kitties in a modern AU? 🐱

It’s a beautiful life, beautiful day 🍁
“On this rainy night, what is your umbrella? The voice that responds when you call. Memories of seeing the same thing at the same time. The first time you matched each other’s pace. Did someone come to mind? Yes, that’s the person.” — Goblin (2016)
When @avenuecab showed me the sketches and final versions of this commission, all I could hear were Crush’s Beautiful and Chanyeol & Punch’s Stay With Me. Thank you so much for the wonderful work on this iconic first meeting scene. It took me back to college days spent binge-watching Goblin on my bed and crying for a week because of Episode 13 ☔︎⚘

Zuko: “So what’s next after this?” Katara: “Babaguhin natin ang mundo.” (“We will change the world.”)
Lovely commission of Lasallian!Zuko and Iska!Tara on their graduation day by @ecaworks . It’s exactly how @aclashofqueens​ and I envisioned it would be 🌻

Katara is wearing the traditional attire for a UP graduate: white dress (she got a modern Filipiniana “terno” with a crop top because she’s a FASHION ICON) with the UP Sablay. Meanwhile, Zuko is wearing the standard DLSU toga for graduates from the College of Liberal Arts.

Fresh from his own DLSU graduation rites and still wearing his toga, Zuko went straight to UP to see his valedictorian girlfriend! He only marched, posed with University heads on stage, and took a few photos with Ursa, Iroh, and Azula. (Later on, he and Katara would meet up with them again for a celebratory dinner in Shang).

When it was time for Katara to go up on stage and deliver her valedictory speech, Sokka was about to shout “That’s my sister!” but Zuko, being the proud boyfriend that he was, beat him to it.

Zutara PH University / Big 4 AU Student Profiles:

Katara 2011-XXXXX Cum Laude BS Public Health College of Public Health University of the Philippines - Manila

Zuko 110XXXXX Cum Laude AB Psychology College of Liberal Arts (transferred from the College of Business) De La Salle University - Manila
Individual grad shoot photos by the magnificent @avenuecab here. Yes, they kept each other’s grad photos in their phone cases for good luck! 💚🤍 x ❤️💚

@zutaraweek​ Day 3: Glowing
- “Haven’t we met?” - "I thought so too.”
Zuko and Katara meet each other again in another lifetime. In Ba Sing Se, the sun glows brightly and everything feels right.
Commissioned from the magnificent @avenuecab. Thank you for this breathtaking Kimi No Na Wa AU piece 💫

[ID: A digital painting of Zuko and Katara from Avatar: the Last Airbender. Set in modern Ba Sing Se, the sun casts a soft glow upon them. They are on a staircase walking on opposite directions with a railing between them—Zuko is climbing up while Katara is headed down. Zuko is dressed in a brown long-sleeved shirt and dark pants. He has his left hand wrapped around the railing. On the other hand, Katara is wearing a green-and-white top and a green checkered skirt. She also has a green handbag on her right shoulder. They are both smiling as they look at each other. Behind them are medium-sized buildings based on East Asian and Southeast Asian architecture which features green sloped roofs and intricate wooden window designs. End ID.]
