    Summary

    "I think he went over that fence!"

    "Ugh, fucking tranny."

    A frightened breath from the shaking stranger that just vaulted themselves over his fence has Katsuki moving on instinct. He takes a step back, wrenching open the deck doors that lead into the house.

    "Get inside, away from the windows and doors." He orders, and the stranger listens with a sharp breath. They duck underneath his outstretched arm and into the house.

     

    Transphobic bastards on his property? Well, that's just free game if you ask him. Equal opportunities, and all that.

    Summary

    Without the demands of a century-long war, waterbenders use their gifts for art rather than combat. Katara and her family’s troupe of waterbending performers travel to the Fire Nation to exhibit for its lord. With a dance of moon-silvered water, Katara ensnares an admirer who offers gifts and unsigned notes.

    As the troupe spends six weeks with the capital’s firebenders to craft an unforgettable tandem performance—a union of fire and water—Katara extends an invitation to meet the admirer. She is not expecting Fire Lord Zuko himself.

    A hidden duet between them ignites kinship, passion, and then fierce devotion.

    Summary

    The walls of Ba Sing Se aren’t half as high as those around a girl’s heart.

    Katara never thought she’d lie to her friends or sneak around with a boy she hates. But then, she didn’t expect Zuko to come to this city of secrets and do what he does best: turn her life upside down.

    Even if she wanted their affair to become something real, it’s out of the question. There’s a war waiting for them, and they can’t stay sheltered within these rings forever, enemies playing the part of lovers. He may care for her—may even need her—but not enough to change.

    Besides, catching is what Zuko is good at. Keeping, not so much.

    Summary

    Bike messenger Hinata Shouyou is well-accustomed to living alongside danger, risking his life dodging traffic on a daily basis while delivering packages. But when he has a chance encounter with the wrong person, it has him skirting the edge of an entirely different kind of threat.

    Or, gangster Kageyama Tobio finds that his heart is not as well-guarded as he once thought when he discovers that he has a weakness for fiery, impulsive little redheads.

    ---

    This is a gang AU, but most of the fic isn't that dark! It mostly follows Kageyama and Hinata's growing relationship. Any sensitive content will be warned ahead of time in the beginning chapter notes, and I've intentionally not made anything gratuitous or particularly graphic, because that's not the story I wanted to tell :)
