pairing: zuko/katara
status: completed on 01/01/07
recommendation: beyond lost is a beautiful season 2 finale divergent fic rife with spiritual and emotional turmoil between zuko and katara. the best way to describe it is a tragically beautiful story between two people who are irrevocably lost and come to rely on one another, shifting to accomodate the otherworldly location they have found themselves in. the writing is fluid and well-executed and the plot carries along in a surprising crescendo that ends with plenty of heartbreak, but it is well worth the read.
comments: this was one of the first fanfictions i read that made me aspire to be a better writer simply because of the thought that went into the plot. i love how zuko and katara start out and utlimately switch places, how resigned and weighed down katara becomes from being away from the real world. it is just beautiful and i read it over and over again no matter knowing the ending.
favorite quote: She turned away and the image of her bright, captivating eyes was gone. The next time she looked at him the vividness of the blue wasn’t there. To his great surprise, he couldn’t remember what it had been like.
