Really, who's the prisoner here?

How Katara managed to hide every single razor knife and sword in the ship is beyond me.#Okay so basically this is the funniest AU I have. It's the Capture AU I've been craving for years—a complete subversion of it.#The Gaang has a Plan to gather information on the FN navy by infiltrating Zuko's ship. As prisoners (or bait or whatever).#Problem is Zuko doesn't WANT to take a prisoner. Much less a bossy and stubborn waterbender who won't leave him alone.#Katara doesn't trigger Zuko's redemption as much as shoves him into it. With force.#Dynamics in this AU include but are not limited to:#“I am going to be your prisoner whether you like it or not you stupid icehole” Katara#“CAN SOMEONE MAKE HER GO AWAY” Zuko#“This is not how I was expecting today to go but who am I to question fate? A cup of tea is a must. This deserves proper enjoyment” Iroh
