The fact that they can count on each other to catch each other whenever they're falling... Imagine having someone like that
(btw pls don't repost gifs I already had a problem with people doing this to me 🙏)
Besides the height difference look at how much closer they are and how their hands are positioned compared to everyone else in the shot lmao
"You’re really trusting me with this, aren’t you?" Her breath caught when Lotor leaned in towards her and carefully lowered his helmet over her head. His hands gripped the sides of the helmet and their faces were close together.
"You said the two of us could learn something from each other," he reminded her. "This is me learning." He gave her a crooked grin, baring his fangs. "Don’t miss, Princess."

@zutaramonth Day 3: After all these years ||
I just love the idea of them learning to dance together and being so very cute and awkward about it at first 🥺💕.
Brief backstory:
Although they were busy preparing for the war, they still needed time to have fun and de-stress so a small feast with music and dancing seemed like a good idea. Zuko and Katara were pushed to spend time together by the rest of the Gaang because they've had enough of the weird distance between the two, brought by brewing feelings that both weren't sure about acknowledging yet. At this point, they've already resolved most of their issues and were on track to becoming really good friends until the 'complication' happened.
Feelings can be ass sometimes fr.
Somehow, what started as a one time, peer pressured, clumsy bonding attempt between two hyperaware-of-each-other teenagers ended up lasting longer than expected. Excuses would be made to continue dancing together because once the initial awkwardness has passed, they found that it was actually quite relaxing (especially for two usually hot headed people) just going through the motions and communicating with looks and gentle touches what they had zero courage to say out loud. Both were also restless and couldn't always spend their hours training so dancing felt like fair game. A very pleasant and completely platonic way of passing the time with a good friend, or at least that's what they told themselves.
Then the war ended, feelings were finally acknowledged and returned now that there was enough time to reflect and actually do something about it and time continued to pass. No matter the changes and busy schedules that came with adulthood and bearing the responsibilities of ruling/helping rule a nation, some things remained constant. Though they never broadcasted it, the Gaang knew that Katara and Zuko would sometimes be found at night just swaying in each other's arms while they quietly talked about their day. It became a tradition - their way to bond and reconnect after a busy day. It was also muscle memory at this point and something they would naturally drift to doing when the opportunity arose. If they weren't training, lounging and drinking tea or walking arm in arm along the courtyard for a stroll, they'd be dancing.
Ofc the dances varied. Most of the time it was simple, intimate, and didn't require much energy. It was during festivals and other special events where they'd let loose and swap partners with their friends. They definitely would've taught each other's traditional dances too. Most of the time they stuck to couple dances though.
The two would then make it to their golden years surrounded by friends and family. In this au, Aang, Sokka and Suki are definitely still alive and kicking and they, together with Toph, would reminisc about the good old days and pat themselves in the back for helping get Zuko and Katara together. They would've gotten together eventually anyway but the Gaang just sped up the process and the credit for starting the whole dancing tradition goes to them. Aang isn't afraid to admit that he and whoever he married in this au also partake in said tradition; Sokka and Suki would do so every now and then but they much prefer exchanging swords as their love language; Toph is indifferent and much prefers just sitting back and letting them enjoy themselves.
This is way over due but I'm glad I was able to finish it. Will sadly be the only prompt I'll be able to do for zutara month bc life threw a wrench and made me too busy, though I'm still interested in making the other prompts at a later date. /N

belated happy zutara month! here's a quick sketch/lineart (that I had lying around...incuded Katara as a last-minute addition) and a colorized version (done by my drawing program because I am exhausted lol)
I listened to "If You're Serious" by the Chainsmokers on repeat. Also, kdrama kiss scenes are the references I use a lot.
Hoping I'll find

Zutara month day 1

Zutara Week 2022 - Day 1: Tradition
In my experience, family dinner, eating with the ones you love, is a great tradition. Also, I wanted to do a mix of Fire Nation and Water Tribe foods. I like the idea of them sharing both their cultures. Also, steam babies! I always wanted to draw them hehe! (I can't believe I have drawn a background hahahah)
Happy Zutara Week everyone!
