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
There it is – the symbol of royalty, the King of the forest – and he picked her. Not Aegon, the King’s son, but Rhaenyra, his daughter. There’s something magical in the hart’s steady gaze, and Rhaenyra almost collapses under the weight of what the stag symbolises.
Or Rhaenyra’s encounter with the white stag inspires her to step up in the game for the Iron Throne.

Summary
Viserys always let himself be led. And when having Dreams, it was a simple matter of following them as well. Dreams foretold the Doom. Dreams showed him a son. Dreams warned him of the dangers his daughter faced.
But he was not the only one to have them. The difference is that Rhaenyra understood the Dreams for the warnings they were.
As King Viserys debated with himself to name Aegon II, the first son with his second wife, as his heir, he believed that he was saving his daughter. As Rhaenyra watched, she knew it was the realm that would pay the price.

Warnings:
This is a fic that heavily focus on politics and introspection. As result, it is slow paced; -

Summary
Making choices after the war was supposed to be the easy part. Her future decided and neatly packaged based on what everyone else wanted for her, what she should want, too.
But Katara’s destiny had a funny way of being exactly what she wanted to run from.
(As if anyone needed another Zutara post-finale slow burn after 15 years.)
