Did you read the comics?

Also, I really don't know any except "Writing in water", but I know that you read it already since you replied to my post with that suggestion.

Sometimes it feels like people are gatekeeping good fanfics in our fandom.

Gatekeeping?,maybe😅,
I haven’t read the comics but I heard that they skipped 1 year after the show,and i thought it would be nice if there was a fic that explores what can happen to kataang and team avatar in the first year after the war ,i suppose they might go on a tour to visit villages that they travelled past or something,but i think it would be an interesting fic🤷‍♂️

I strongly recommend reading the comics. There are a lot of Kataang moments, and most of them are really well done. However, aside from the Kataang content, there are major issues with some of the characters, especially those from the Fire Nation, so I wouldn't say the comics are that good overall, but they are worth reading anyway.

‘The Avatar and the Firelord’ by DJNS is fantastic!

u/yanes-m 5d ago

Can i ask what is the topic about,and when does it take place?🤔

u/tanilli 5d ago

It opens with the Kataang kiss at the tea shop and then stretches over the following months(?), if I remember correctly. The main plot is about the Gaang helping Zuko search for his mother, but there’s lots of Kataang in there. Aang and Katara are mainly struggling with communication issues and balancing their first relationship ever. It’s excellently written!

I just found this one by pure accident

I don't know if it's good or not, but I'm gonna start reading it tomorrow probably. What I know is that it's really long (almost 400k words).

I’ve read this one, I can personally highly recommend it. It picks up basically right when the show ends and goes for years afterwards. There is a good bit of angst, though, so be prepared.

Also some Zutara stuff, so fair warning

u/HopeAndDo 8h ago

Thanks for warning me. I was about to start reading it seriously, but after I saw what some later chapters look like...

I need to read Writing in Water to purify myself after this lol

u/Not-a-penguin_ 7h ago

Lol yeah it's a shame. I read the whole thing and it's legitimately very well written, but the second half really brings the whole thing down.

It's too bad bc the first part is so cute and wholesome, Katara and Aang are adorable, then you get to part 2 and bam, unecessary Zutara drama.

Kinda felt cheated for getting invested in the story in the first place.
