    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, 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 War, Post-Canon)

    Summary

    The day after Sozin's comet, it seems like the whole Fire Nation has turned on its head. The dishonored prince has returned, the princess is locked up, and rumors swirl that Ozai himself has been defeated. The only thing for the royal servants to do is what they've always done - serve the royal family. But what are they going to do with this waterbender girl?

    Summary

    After the final Agni Kai, the royal physician returns to the same room where he once treated a burned, abandoned boy. This time, he finds a Water Tribe girl at his bedside, a lightning wound taken by choice, and a young man whose loyalties are written into his skin. Two scars — one forced upon him, one taken for her — reveal the destiny Zuko has chosen for himself. And for the first time, the physician leaves the prince’s chambers with hope.

    Summary

    Zuko takes the lightning strike meant to kill her.
    Katara is alone as she struggles to save his life and protect him from within the palace walls.

    OR

    My take on the events immediately post the Last Agni Kai. Katara is alone in an enemy nation, winning the moment due to Zuko's sacrifice, but unknowing whether or not the rest of the Gaang was successful in their missions.

    This is an aged up AU where the show takes place over the course of years.
