''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120426073933/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7250783/1/Stalking_Zuko '''''Stalking Zuko]'''''] is a well -written [[Adaptation Expansion]] fic that acts as a between/behind -the -episodes look at ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. It starts off when Zuko is accepted in the Gaang - Katara doesn't trust him and fears that he will backstab them again. Her solution is to stalk Zuko and write down his every action so she would know his weakness. The story follows the Gaang's adventures throughout the second half of season three - retold through Katara's perspective.
 
Has a pair of sequels in ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120426073947/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7325839/1/Not_Stalking_Zuko Not Stalking Zuko]'' and ''[httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190701000656/https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8121138/1/Not_Stalking_Firelord_Zuko Not Stalking Firelord Zuko]'' and a prequel with ''[httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20200328055012/https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8093093/1/Jets_Troubling_Obsession Jet's Troubling Obsession]''.
