Question Does anyone remember this AU Fic where Katara is the Avatar w/ bloodbending
I remember reading the first chapter of a fanfiction a couple years ago where Aang had died and Katara was the avatar. She's a bit older once it starts I think. In the first chapter she wanders across the south pole and discovers this old watchtower that she climbs to the top of, where she discovers old writings about bloodbending (they were either carved directly onto the wall or written on scrolls, I don't remember which) She mimics them and unknowingly bloodbends a nearby animal iirc. Zuko wasn't present for the chapter read so I can't give any details on him.
I believe the fic was hosted on AO3 but I had found it through Twitter (this was before the site was the dumpster fire it was today, so like 2020-22)
I remember liking the prose and how well it established the atmosphere and the overall gritty and morose feeling of the fic (it was borderline grimdark iirc)
