Katara is separated from her friends, and so she's left to travel the earth kingdom on her own. She stumbles across Zuko, who is similarly travelling on his own. They decide that pairing up and travelling together would be best

Is this angst? I am not really an angst person myself (Fluff all day, babey) but I knew I had to do owedbetterās heart healing scene from iām still here because it made me cry when I read it *sad lol* I justā¦ it made me so saaad. The setup here is that Azulaās lightning that Zuko took for Katara actually did serious damage to Zukoās heart beyond the power of the single healing session in the actual finale. So, Zuko is basically dying, everyone has returned from their various battles and are saying goodbye. But in iām still here, Kataraās bloodbending from The Southern Raiders is actually discussed between Zuko and Katara prior, and that reminds Katara to try everything sheās got to save Zuko.Ā What I really loved about owedbetterās story is just how powerfully she writes Katara, especially in this scene. Katara is just so cool. I love that she has the power to both end people and also save their freakinā lives! And you know I gots to have my full moon imagery AGAIN. Apologies, I canāt stop; itās like the best framing object to work with. I really think I went a bit overboard on the melodrama and effects too, but I just wanted to try to go as full throttle with neat imagery as I could with the time that I had. Katara deserves some spirit magic glowy shit too, dammit! Haha Hope owedbetter specifically likes it.

This is all done with no intention of making money off these animatics; itās purely fanart. >.>
DO NOT REPOST. And if Zutarians are going to screencap some frames, I think it is imperative to also acknowledge owedbetter too, because itās based on their concepts and story. I simply translated it into visuals.

Happiest of early birthdays to you! ā¤ļø can I please request a zutara drawing? In your post, you said that you drew ATLA but didnāt mention any ships, so pls forgive me and no worries if this is one you wonāt draw!
Everything you draw is amazing and Iāve been a huge fan for a while! Thank you for taking the time to use your talents here! āØ
I'm not that girl you thought I was. You're not. You, Summer, are better. See, back then you were just this fantasy. You were this little girl, who, when I would see, you would either ignore me, or make an obscene gesture and keep on walking. Yeah, I kind of remember that, sorry. But now look at you. You fight for sea otters, you've befriended Taylor Townsend. You're an incredible mom to that bunny. I guess I have changed. You've evolved. And over the last 950 days we've been dating, yes, I've counted and yes, I counted the Zach era, because, really, who were we kidding? I've watched you grow into this incredible woman. And that is who I love.
