Summary
Eight years after the war, Katara feels untethered. There is no place for her in the world. When a volatile argument with her family pushes everything past the breaking point, she is sent to the Fire Nation on a diplomatic mission. There, the Fire Lord—once her friend, still bearing the scar of his atonement on his chest—now pretends she doesn’t exist.
Zuko has spent years suppressing what he feels for Katara, convincing himself that distance is the only honorable choice. She is the Avatar’s love, after all. But when she arrives at his palace, his careful control begins to unravel, and everything he’s kept contained threatens to surface all at once.

Summary
The Water Tribe ambassador and Fire Lord are working late one evening
Both of them tired, Zuko suggests they have a few drinks. After drunkenly opening up about their sub-par sex lives, Katara suggests they try one another out. And Zuko agrees.After an intense--and admittedly mind-blowing--night of sex, they enter an agreement to explore things further, as 'Friends with Benefits'
OR
“What if we had an arrangement?”
I suggest, the idea forming even as I speak it.
“When I visit you here in the Fire Nation, or if we're in the same place while traveling, if we’re both wanting it, we could... have sex.” Heat rises to my cheeks. “Not a relationship. No strings attached. No complicated emotions. Just two friends taking care of each other’s needs.”

Summary
The Avatar is dead.
The war should have ended with Sozin’s Comet. Instead, it became something else.
Ten years later, the Phoenix Empire controls the world through occupation, surveillance, and a system that tracks benders by bloodline. No element is safe. Under the guise of unity, the Empire has begun enforcing arranged marriages between citizens and benders; binding power, loyalty, and lineage into something it can monitor, control, and, if necessary, eliminate.
The resistance survives in fragments. Katara survives by refusing to look back. She does not think about the boy who believed in balance. She does not think about the war that never ended. And she does not think about the prince who chose the other side.
Some things don’t stay buried.
When her name appears on the Empire’s registry, survival is no longer enough. Pulled into a system designed to control power, and the people who carry it. Katara is forced to navigate shifting alliances, impossible choices, and a past that refuses to remain where she left it.
Including him.

Summary
Though Katara's family no longer has the standing they once did, she prides herself on her charm and ability to get along with everyone in the small society of their county. Except, that is, the taciturn, ill-tempered Mr. Zuko who has just taken up residence at Caldera Court. Despite trying their best to see as little of each other as possible, Katara's friends and associates have no interest in maintaining distance from the man she finds so distasteful. For Mr. Zuko's part, he would love to honor Miss Katara's wishes, except there is something quite alluring about the young woman that he does not wish to examine further. But in a town as small as theirs, avoiding someone is nearly impossible, especially when family is involved.
This is not based on any specific Jane Austen novel or Regency era work, but takes inspiration from all of them.
