Excerpt:
She appraised him under the streetlight. As he pulled another long drag from his cigarette, lips pursed, Zuko looked almost cool — like one of those gangsters in an old black-and-white movie. The shadows created by the streetlight momentarily hid his scar as he stood there staring off into the night. For a moment, Katara considered that he would have been devastatingly handsome had he not received the scar. But, in a way, it also suited him she thought. Shaking her head, she returned to her original train of thought.

Title: The Catcher in the Rye
Word Count: 493
Warnings: Use of a bad word...
Note:I wrote a one-shot for Challenge #88: Titles for the theavatar100. You're supposed to take the title of a book and turn it into a little ATLA-related drabble. If you know "The Catcher in the Rye," the subject matter won't suprise you greatly-- the main character is fairly angsty and depressing...as is our favorite exiled Fire Nation prince. This is unbetaed and is cross-posted to katara_zuko and theavatar100.

( He looked around the ballroom observing the couples dancing and the feigned enjoyment in the forced chit-chat. )
