    Summary

    He comes at night, on the eve of a storm that will last for seven years. She cannot know it then; only when the veil of perpetual blizzard seals the south from the rest of the world and she is a sea away in the belly of the empire will Katara understand her fate.

    “I need your help.”

    ––––––––––––––

    OR: Eleven years after the death of the Avatar, the Fire Nation’s prince asks for a favor.

    Summary

    “I haven’t been able to sleep without dreaming about being suffocated under a pile of paperwork for months,” Zuko groans, still speaking into his hands. “Maybe years.”

    Katara considers this. “You need help.”

    “I need help,” he sighs.

    She feels lightheaded. Before she can stop herself, she says, “We should get married.”

    It’s so quiet it feels like even the fountain has stopped burbling.

    Slowly, Zuko lifts his head, looking at her. His good eye is wide, lips parted.

    “Huh?” he asks.

    five years after aang defeats ozai, katara is adrift. the water tribe is well on the way to recovery, the earth kingdom flourishing once again. aang has a dedicated following of non-benders learning the ways of the air nomads. now that she has nothing to do, katara is at a loss.
    zuko is underwater. the fire nation is drowning in a storm of its own making. he needs help. he needs a partner.
    that’s why, when katara suggests they get married, he jumps at the chance. not because he’s been in love with her for years. no, definitely not.

    Summary

    Katara fucking hates her neighbor.

    She's one sleep deprived surgery away from shoving a scalpel into his neck - even if he is unforgivably hot and covered in tattoos.

     

    Zuko's neighbor is scary.

    He's an FBI agent used to putting his life on the line at work and now, apparently, at home.

    Summary

    It wasn’t a bad way to die.

    In a way, Zuko could even count it as an almost hopeful ending, dying in defense of a waterbender.

    Summary

    At 22, Katara knows she has fully hit rock-bottom. She has never recovered from her mother's death, her inevitable need for control, and her barely disguised eating disorder (well, she thinks she has it disguised; but she's not as good of a liar as she thought).

    All her life, she has only wanted to be left alone.

    That is, until, she accidentally stumbles into a strange group meeting at a tea shop, and a man her age with a scar and compassion as bright as the blazing sun shows her that maybe, just maybe, all she has ever wanted is for someone to understand her. Understand her, and the scars that she has tried to keep hidden her entire life.
