Enslaved is an Alternate Universe Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfic by Sharkflip. Sharkflip takes the somewhat common trope within the fandom of Katara being kidnapped and enslaved in the Fire Nation and inverts it, with Zuko being captured and enslaved to Katara. A poignant character drama, the fic eschews much of the fanon characterization of the Zuko/Katara ship to play with the power dynamics, and emerges with a complex and understated romance.Enslaved takes place in a world that is similar to but not quite like canon. The different nations have different languages, there are multiple Earth Kings and Queens, the Water Tribes are much more like Pacific Northwest First Nations people than they are in canon, and the Air Monks are still around. The anthropological research and the difficulties that arise from Zuko's poor grasp of the Water Tribe languages are one of the things that makes the fics so enjoyable to its fans, many of whom are not otherwise Zutara fans.It can be found here on fanfiction.net or here on sharkflip's LiveJounal account. | |

Comforting the Widow | |
| Enslaved (Sharkflip) (Fanfic) / int_107edaa4 | comment |
Comforting the Widow: Sokka tries to deliberately invokes this. Since Zuko has killed Katara's husband Hahn, doing her family a massive favor in the process, obviously, thinks Sokka, the two should get together now. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture | |
| Enslaved (Sharkflip) (Fanfic) / int_57d43e40 | comment |
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: An Avatar staple; sharkflip has taken the opportunity of an AU to make everything more realistic (ie language barrier etc.) and change some of the concordances. Most visibly, the Water Tribe used to be Inuit, but in the service of actually being able to have lots of outside scenes and a slightly less subsistence-level culture, appears to have gone Inuit~>Aleutian~>Pacific Northwest native. The addition of a whole lot of women's lib and waterbending is the main difference between the raincoast people and Enslaved's Water Tribe. Particularly visible during the salmon run arc. | |

You Kill It, You Bought It: Katara's family sees the job of being her husband this way, which might have something to do with the fact that they all hated her husband, and Zuko's killing him fills them with all kinds of warm feelings for him. Katara disagrees. | |

| Enslaved (Sharkflip) (Fanfic) / int_6cdc784f | comment |
You No Take Candle: Sokka, using what little he knew of a trade language to communicate with Zuko. Heavily implied Zuko sounded like this to the Water Tribe before receiving language lessons from Aang. Zuko was able to absorb enough of the Water Tribe's language by osmosis to translate what they said in his head, and it sounded like this as well. | |

Parental Marriage Veto: More like a tribal marriage veto, in that the Tribe's shaman is very against Katara and Zuko's union. The fact that they're already technically married doesn't sway him in the slightest. | |

Culture Clash | |
| Enslaved (Sharkflip) (Fanfic) / int_70ade2c4 | comment |
Culture Clash: While the whole fic is this, a particularly telling example is Zuko's definition of slavery (which involves Fire Nation plantation style slavery, in which slaves are extraordinarily lucky to make it to the two year mark) and the massive contrast it has to the Water Tribe's slavery by honor debt. How property is managed causes a bit of a clash initially, because Zuko misinterprets their gestures. Zuko becomes upset when the fruits of his participation in the Tribe's seal hunt are given to Katara afterwards and not to him, seeing this as a denial of property and an affirmation of his slave status despite the men previously treating him as their equal. But Toph explains that in the Water Tribes, the wives and mothers of a clan are the ones who manage the household's property, so Zuko wasn't being treated like Katara's property here, he was being treated like her husband and a member of her clan. Katara also experiences this when she's introduced to parts of the Earth Kingdom culture. Though it's rather toned down from Zuko's example, more of an 'I can't believe you guys actually wear/eat this' tone. | |

Eloquent in My Native Tongue | |
| Enslaved (Sharkflip) (Fanfic) / int_72a6bff0 | comment |
Eloquent in My Native Tongue: Played with. The translations are from Zuko's point of view. As he slowly learns to speak the Water Tribe language, the translations are less broken, and the Water Tribe members' words are translated much closer to their speakers' intents, which becomes hilarious as Zuko gets good enough at the language to realize that Sokka is calling people things like "his ancient spookiness" and calling shamanic rites "woo woo stuff". In universe, Zuko was this. | |

Made a Slave: The whole plot starts off after the Water Tribe do this to Zuko. After he kidnaps them both, Jet threatens to make Katara one in the Earth Kingdom. However, since it's later revealed that he urged her to abandon Zuko and go back to the Water Tribe, he probably said this just to wind Zuko up. | |

Stay in the Kitchen | |
| Enslaved (Sharkflip) (Fanfic) / int_9cbf01d6 | comment |
Stay in the Kitchen: In a mild, very complicated form. Zuko notes that the women typically sit behind the men (with Kanna as the exception) and slaves sit behind them. The fact that he notices these things, and doesn't expect Toph, when she arrives, to act this way implies the Fire Nation is different. Male waterbenders in Katara's village are given enough guidance in their abilities to be able stabilize a canoe, but aren't tutored in formal bending forms. Instead, they're encouraged to become traditional weapon warriors. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Enslaved (Sharkflip) (Fanfic) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Mild, though part and parcel of the anthropological geekery inherent. The Water Tribe has gender divided labor and status, and also keeps slaves. The idea of value and property is different too. Aang explains that items are valued for their potential uses, both practical, interpersonal, and symbolic, with a focus on the relationships those items can build between people when exchanged. Thus, any action that infringes upon something's ability to fulfill one of these purposes to its owner incurs a debt to that owner. The Water Tribes value life on similar terms and regard debts with an Eye for an Eye kind of logic. Shortly after his arrival Zuko witnesses a small crew of sailors attack the village. One of the men killed one of the younger villagers "dishonorably" by stabbing the young man in the back, and so while the village takes the rest of the crew as slaves, that particular man is executed. One life taken by one party means a life should be taken by the other. When Hahn's father saved Sokka's life, it was the opposite: one life given to one side meant one life should be given to the other. In this case the debt was resolved by demanding Katara's hand in marriage, and she couldn't refuse without essentially publically stating that she didn't value her brother's life, so she and Hahn were wed to bring Katara into their clan and equal the debts. However, the second Hahn raised a hand to Katara in an attempt to hurt her, he incurred a debt to her and she was free to leave and return to her birth clan, children in tow and husband Hahn now bound to follow her in disgrace for disrespecting her and the relationship between clans she represented. When Hahn was killed and Zuko taken in his stead to make up for the life taken from Katara, it ended both the complicated debts between the clans and the marriage. | |

And Then What?: Zuko asks himself this. If he could escape the Water Tribe camp, and a that's huge if considering they're packing bloodbenders, waterbenders and normal warriors, then what would he do on his own in the wilderness? | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Since Katara doesn't bother to give Zuko her name, he spends the first part of the story calling her 'the woman'. Him dropping this heralds a major Relationship Upgrade. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Enslaved (Sharkflip) (Fanfic) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Zuko's firebending is most often used to smoke fish and heat-shape wood. Katara's waterbending makes her an expert dyer. Mundane Made Awesome: Toph points out fairly early on that Zuko is this to the Water Tribes, as the power to create fire at will is absurdly useful in potentially more aspects of their lives than even waterbending. | |

EyeForAnEye | |
| Enslaved (Sharkflip) (Fanfic) / int_f66abdc7 | comment |
The Water Tribes value life on similar terms and regard debts with an Eye for an Eye kind of logic. Shortly after his arrival Zuko witnesses a small crew of sailors attack the village. One of the men killed one of the younger villagers "dishonorably" by stabbing the young man in the back, and so while the village takes the rest of the crew as slaves, that particular man is executed. One life taken by one party means a life should be taken by the other. When Hahn's father saved Sokka's life, it was the opposite: one life given to one side meant one life should be given to the other. In this case the debt was resolved by demanding Katara's hand in marriage, and she couldn't refuse without essentially publically stating that she didn't value her brother's life, so she and Hahn were wed to bring Katara into their clan and equal the debts. However, the second Hahn raised a hand to Katara in an attempt to hurt her, he incurred a debt to her and she was free to leave and return to her birth clan, children in tow and husband Hahn now bound to follow her in disgrace for disrespecting her and the relationship between clans she represented. When Hahn was killed and Zuko taken in his stead to make up for the life taken from Katara, it ended both the complicated debts between the clans and the marriage. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Jet pushes this. His actions seem more selfish, and then he rationalizes them as targeting Fire Nation people and collaborators. His definition of collaborator is...loose. | |
