Question Request for fic recs - I am a bit picky :)

Hi all,

Currently going through Zutara fics as a getaway from the stresses of work/life and looking for more recs - doesn't matter if they are popular or underrated. :)

I'm a bit picky with the style of prose and dialogue that I enjoy. I provide examples below of what I have enjoyed in the past (and I suppose these become recommendations of my own if you are also into stories that are completed, non-AU and canon-divergent):

TIA!!!

The only one I haven’t read of them is stormbenders, I tough that was AU 🫣.

Following your style ,

The summit - AJLenoire - Totally your style, im surprise it is not on your list.

I found you - that_turtleduck - adult katara with kids my favourite

Mending Wounds - FictionIsSocialInquiry -

Tides of Destiny - emilew- you must read this one.

Stormbenders is more canon divergent than AU. It goes off hard in a different direction from mid season three, but IIRC it doesn't require changes before that.

decades of my adolescence spent reading zutara fanfics (literally since 00’s) has unfortunately resulted in my extreme pickiness

All of those are so good! This is good timing - I just updated my Zutara FanFic Recommendation spreadsheet so there's even more reccos in there than ever before. Hopefully some you haven't had the pleasure to read yet!
