[Legend of Korra] relatives you make for yourself (Katara & Zuko gen)
Title: relatives you make for yourself
Fandom: Legend of Korra
Length: 207 words
Prompt: three sentence ficathon: Avatar:The Legend of Korra, retired!Zuko & Any, "I leave for just a few months and this is what happens?"
Pairing: Katara and Zuko gen
Other: Spoilers for S1 finale.
Excerpt: "What in the world is going on in Republic City?" Zuko snaps without preamble, and Katara knows that he isn't mad at her; the fact is, he called her first because he knew she'd have the best intelligence on the matter.
Katara dislikes the phone because no one ever sounds like they do in person, in her opinion, but she doesn't hesitate to pick it up when the shrill trill sounds; the snow is falling hard outside and no one will be traveling in the Southern Water Tribe any more this winter if they can help it, except by air (which is, of course, how Korra and Katara's son had come; they'd left only days before, bending and purpose restored without Katara's help in the end, no matter how she'd tried).
"What in the world is going on in Republic City?" Zuko snaps without preamble, and Katara knows that he isn't mad at her; the fact is, he called her first because he knew she'd have the best intelligence on the matter, and he trusts her judgment; he mutters something darkly about having only left for a few months and everything falling to pieces, and she smiles, wishing he could see it and realize how ridiculous he sounds.
"Everything's under control now," she says, and after a moment's consideration, adds casually, simply to provoke him: "Your grandson seems quite taken with Korra"; she listens to him sputter and she laughs and begins filling him in on recent events.
