    Summary

    Zuko has not known real peace since the day he faced his sister in their Agni Kai many years ago. No matter how many times he tried to bury it, his feelings for Katara refused to fade. At every shared meal, every sparring match, and every return to the Fire Palace, he found himself hoping — just once — that her eyes would meet his and reignite the spark that had flared the moment he took Azula's lightning for her... but they never did.

    Her gaze always found Aang instead. And, in time, Zuko taught himself to look away — for their sake, for the fragile balance of their friendship. The Avatar and the healer, bound together as if by fate.

    But when Katara comes to the Fire Nation during a quiet break from Aang, the Fire Lord begins to notice something he hadn't allowed himself to see before. Whenever he looked away...

    She always looked back.

    (Set ~10 years after the Hundred Year War, Post-Canon)

    Summary

    Jack Abbot is two beers and a bourbon into the evening, pleasantly warm but not actually drunk. He thinks if he was drunk, he’d write this whole conversation off as an elaborate hallucination. Chucking a handful of mixed nuts into his mouth, he’s still not entirely sold on it not being some sex-deprived, testosterone-fueled fantasy his mind has cooked up after a full dose of trazodone.

    Apparently, Samira Mohan is a virgin.

    ++

    Samira doesn't want to finish out her residency still a virgin. She asks Jack Abbot to help. There are to be no feelings involved.
