Yea I know it is... but I can't see Katara with anone from the fire country. I think her mother's death is still fresh on her mind... even if Zuko didn't kill her, it's the fact that he was part of the people who did. It's kinda just human instinct. But hey! Like someone said earlier anything can happen now, and if they manage a friendship of sorts then yea I have no problem with that pairing.

Well if she got together with someone from the fire nation, she could maybe be able to move on from her mother's death. And plus it would be like a peace treaty, showing other people that just because they are of diffrent nations, does not mean that there cant be peace between them.

Yea. It could be viewed as that... but I don't, a friendship could serve that purpose also.
I'm okay so long as it's not just like this short scene like... "i'm sorry for what happened... wanna be friends...." "Sure" Happy ending... bleh I have to have my details ^_^

No actually a marriage between the new Fire Lord and a citizen of one of the nations his country was at war with states once and for all that the war is over. The Fire Nation's ruling family would now be linked to the other nation through blood ties when a child between them was born. This is why there were arranged marriages. It was about making ties to other families. A love relationship leading to marriage with someone from the Water Tribe or Earth kingdom would be an ideal thing for Zuko to do and who better than with the girl in the Avatar's inner circle.

IMO, for Zutara to work in the canon world, they will have to be stuck in a situation beyond their control that forces them to be close and work together, ie, stuck on an island together, captured together, Aang insisting Zuko join up...whatever. Neither really seems to want to hang out, so they need fate to push them together so they can realize that they are soul mates! I don't like the idea of Zuko kidnapping Katara to get to Aang and then falling in love with her...sorry, but kidnapping doesn't strike me as romantic, and I don't think Katara would like it much either.

Eh I don't know. It sounds more of politics than love (not that it can't be love).
Since Aang is a reincarnation, then that means he has to have some sort of a lover out there right? Like in Koh the face stealer how he stole the face of a loved one...
I mean, unless ONLY the avatar comes back... they haven't really specified that yet... sorry thinking out loud.
I guess it's really up in the air for these relationships... either of them could happen .

I guess. I just don't think that Katara should be captured by Zuko though. It's just so unoriginal, not that its not cool, just not unoriginal, but of course Nick doesn't have to be unoriginal. So I don't know.

Palindrome, I've read alot of Zutara fics to know the variety of scenarios that could exist to make them come together and kidnapping is by far the most common. I will agree with you that is the most loathsome but there are other ways such as Zuko and Katara being chained together and having to escape from their enemies, Zuko getting amnesia, either of them being possessed by a spirit, or my personal favorite from Vicki So's fanfic where a sorceress at a festival puts a glamour spell on Zuko that makes him appear to everyone the way he did before he got his scar. He ends up hanging out with Katara in the hopes that she will in turn lead them to the Avatar but actually finds out that he enjoys spending time with her. Destiny, you are right Zutara is politically a good match but like you said it can be about love too. Fire and Water as has been said often are Yin and Yang. They complement each other. To pair them together would achieve a balance. The avatar very well could have a love out there from his previous lives that he is destined to keep coming back to. On the Yin Yang theory, I would think she would be an earthbender. This also goes in line with the fact that next season Jojo the earthbending bandit will be introduced and she does have a crush on Aang.

Hmmm... This'll be interesting then won't it.
Actually i think the best way for Zuko and Katara to get together is if Zuko and Katara some how get like captured together.
Scenario: Zuko's dad finds out he helped the avatar escape (epi 13)... they have captured Aang again and to make sure Zuko doesn't do it again Zuko's dad throws zuko in the dungeon... and Katara's captured. Well using Team work they get out of there and find a whole new respect for one another... AND that would give Zuko a reason to be part of the group or as I like to call them Avatar Posse.
But I don't know... I'm an Aang Katara fan... mainly because it really reminds me of the pairing Sakura/Naruto, And I'm in love with the whole scenario friends --> gf and bf and NOT so much on Enemies --> GF and Bf

Having enemies as pairing is awesome. At least I think so. Friends pairings are so predictable, so much that it's not as interesting. Now Zuko and Katara, yes political, and yes romantic in a way.

^ I agree. Friends getting together is too boring. I mean they already know a lot of stuff about each other, but when enemies get together there is so much to learn about each other that it makes it more interesting.

Yeah, I think Katara learning stuff about Zuko would be cool. A ton of ffs say that Katara and Zuko are a lot alike, yet they're complete opposites. That just seems like such a better match than Kataang.

Yes exactly. They are a lot alike in the way that they are both strong and determined, and they both had to mature quicker. But they're also opposites in the way that he's fire, she's water, he's a "bad" guy, she's a good guy and so on.

And that is why they would make a much better match than Katara and Aang.

I Still don't think so. Enemies just make me think it's impossible. Why? Because people don't let things go. So it's just very unrealistic. I don't think that Aang and Katara is a non-exciting pairing either. I think it would be very interesting. I mean they're friends... but how do they get that to the next level? They would be so confused and asking themselves where does the line of friendship end and love begin? and there would have to be a huge even that would change it all... change their mind set from friendship to possibly couple status.
