Icarus and the Sea

by Unpretty

A practical and respectable university student meets a disreputable man who wants to fly. The ending is obvious to anyone not distracted by their own genius, and it's a little further off than it probably should have been.

Problem Solving

by jaganlekhani

Zhu Li had a problem -- she was definitely, absolutely, in love with her boss. But he wasn't in love with her. (probably). Endeavouring to get over it all, Zhu Li, as in all cases, referred to a logical and methodical plan that had served her well in every issue from Ba Sing Se University to literal prison. But a last-ditch attempt leaves her questioning if every problem has a solution -- or if there was a problem at all. [AU where Varrick doesn't propose + they don't get married]

varrick-care (patent pending)

by The_Eclectic_Bookworm

“Miss Moon, you need quite a bit more than a day off at this juncture,” said Eun-Ji with some alarm. “You need constant bed rest for the next few days at least. You’re ill enough that a full-time nurse might be needed to take care of you. Someone to keep you hydrated, keep an eye on your fever—” “I can do that,” said Varrick. Absolutely all of the doctors turned to look at him with the exact same dubious expression.

the annual future industries banquet (or: a series of catastrophes, in five acts)

by The_Eclectic_Bookworm

Another rustle of silk from the door indicated that Zhu Li had entered the room again. With a kind of resigned exhaustion that made a lot of sense for the person in the room who had known Varrick the longest, she said, “Iknik. Please explain to me and to everyone in this room how you deliberately setting the entire banquet hall ablaze constitutes a romantic gesture.”

Early Morning Service

by monsic_buffoon

Sometimes his mind got away from him, even in the darkest hours of the night. As his assistant, it was her job to pull him back down to Earth. Even if that meant sacrificing a few hours of sleep. (In which Varrick's overactive mind keeps him from sleeping, and Zhu Li has to calm him down).

Zhu Li Moon Is The Baddest Bitch

by ShipperFan

So this is basically a bunch of chapters spanning from when Zhu Li was first hired by Varrick to their wedding. And yes, I'm huge a zhurrick fan so I'm going to make it very cute and angsty and fill in all the blanks left by the story and keep it canon compliant. This will have a lot of the classic tropes and just a lot of unrequited requited love so I hope y'all like it!! WARNING: Zhu Li does escape from an abusive relationship so if that is a trigger for you be sure to skip this fic (or just the 2nd chapter really).

A Varri-Cycle Built for Two

by StorytimeWithSteph

“So here’s the plan: we go to the big shindig, I show up with Uki, I rub elbows with all the Northern Water Tribe bigwigs, I make a good impression. You put on that server’s uniform I got you, hand out as many Varri-cake samples as you possibly can, and then,” Varrick stopped and whirled around on his heel, landing inches from Zhu Li’s face, “As soon as the party’s over, you are gonna figure out a way to get me outta there. What do I always say about dealing with crazy women, Zhu Li?”Zhu Li frowned and adjusted her glasses. “Lie big and leave fast, sir,” she said.Varrick smiled. “Exactly.”It was going to be a long night.——Being one of the richest men in the world means there’s never a dull moment—there are always deals waiting to be made, innovations waiting to be discovered, and beautiful women waiting to be wooed. But in between the romantic interludes, there are bound to be run-ins with Equalists, triads, and a crazy waterbending ex-girlfriend.Usually, the only thing standing between Varrick and an untimely doom is a five-and-a-half foot tall woman with glasses.

Seven Days of Zhurrick

by LooneyZampy

An OS series for the Zhurrick Week, the only pairing for which I ever took up a challenge. 1. Tea: The first task Zhu Li had to do for Varrick was making tea. Since then, tea has had a particular role in their lives 2. Oblivious: After Zhu Li makes her apology to Varrick and snaps at him for not treating her as an equal, Varrick is trying to come to term with what he feels, helped by a Bolin who's sick of his shenanigans 3. Routine: Working with Varrick means that routine, just like everything else, gets tainted by a case of crazies. 4. Dancing: Watertribe dances are known all across the world. Varrick himself is an excellent dancer. Zhu Li, wanting to be a perfect assistant, tries to learn on her own. Until Varrick finds her out... 5. Tradition: The spirit vines on which Varrick is working seem to be communicating with him, leading him to Zhu Li. Varrick soon realizes what he has to do, but for that, he first needs someone who could inform him about some Earth Kingdom traditions. 6. Family: Family for Varrick was everyone close to him. Zhu Li was part of it since long before their marriage. 7. Since Zhu Li started working for Varrick, he always insisted that they eat together.
