Zuko and Katara, from Avatar. This is an ilustration of Fandomme's wonderful zutara fanfic "Stormbenders", chap.9.
As usual the background sucks and the fire is reaaally crappy, so I'll have to practice more on my colouring (and my english, sorry for the mistakes)

"Stormbenders", by Fandomme. Chapter 09

It was suddenly difficult to talk, with the fear weakening her limbs. The drums seemed so much louder, now, the flames so much hotter and closer. She had not allowed herself to imagine the execution itself. Instead, she had been thinking about avoiding Koh and seeing Yue and finding her mother. She had not thought about who she would miss. She had not thought about how she had failed. She had not thought about how much this was going to hurt. "I'm sorry, too," she said. "I… I was really mean and you tried really hard-"

"It's okay." Something warm tickled her hands. Zuko's fingers. She felt them linking at the baby fingers, gripping tight at the knuckle. "Really."

"Your face is fine," Katara said. She sniffed hard. "There's nothing wrong with it, it's who you are-"

"Bend," he murmured. "Save yourself."

The drums hammered. Rain fizzled on dancing flames. She thought about the blood in her heart and her veins and how she could stop it, end it here. She thought about leaving Zuko alone. Her heart squeezed; the drumbeat became her pulse. "No," she said. "I don't turn my back on people who need me." She blinked and tears rolled down. "I met the real Painted Lady's spirit," she said. "I'll have to introduce you, when…when we get there."
