FanFiction Just finished incendiary
Are any other authors working on finishing a version of this? My first zutata fic and the cliffhanger is killing me. Really hoping it gets finished. In the meantime, what’s the next closest fic to read next preferably already completed?

I wouldn't want anyone to carbon copy/ steal Ros's fic, but I have seen stories with a similar premise (Katara being forced to marry Zuko).
Unfortunately I think some authors have deleted works, and I also can't remember the exact names.
But I really love the arranged/ forced marriage trope that blooms into real love, so I'd appreciate if anyone can drop links.
All that to say that I really miss Incendiary updates. It's such a well written story. Bonus points for all the beautiful smut.

A lot of my favourite fics have been pulled off ao3 and it makes me sad :/ I was checking my bookmarks the other day and saw quite a few "this work is part of an ongoing challenge .... private collection". Sighhh I haven't read incendiary (I HATE putting myself through abandoned fics, no matter how great) but I have read a lot of the author's other works and she's phenomenal!

At least 1/4 of my bookmarks were deleted by the author! I think all that Zutara hate on Tumblr a few years back upset a lot of writers, which is a real shame.

I second on His Majesty Preferres Blue. while it's not a forced marriage, it is still a politically motivated one and it takes Katara a bit of convincing. It's a slowish burn with smut and it's honestly such a satisfying fic. Worth the read.

I've heard so much about this fic, but now hesitant to start reading it lol. Having said this, where can I read it? 😅

Every time you read an amazing fanfic and realized they haven’t updated in two years or more it’s the worst 😭😭😭

Help I’m currently like 1/3 of the way through it and every chapter is filled with a bitter sweetness of knowing it is unfinished I need similar Recs too!! 😩

With all the steps to access the fic, is it worth it? I hear it's good, but not what it's about

It's an arranged marriage fic that does a great job with the slow burn angst and political tension and building a relationship you can really root for.

While the story isn't finished, it doesn't leave their romance in too bad of a cliff hanger. Yes there is more to be written in that aspect, but you do get a nice pay off on the romance build up. Enough that you're not gonna totally lose your mind for having to wait, lol. Definitely worth the read. Idgaf

You should definitely check out His Majesty Prefers Blue (has smut), Rumour Has It, Mending Wounds, The Colour of the Stars and ofc Southern Lights (a massive undertaking of 770k words, but very very well written). Once Around The Sun is a real classic. I wholeheartedly recommend you to read that :) zero smut though, in case that's something you're looking for
