    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.)

    Summary

    The walls of Ba Sing Se aren’t half as high as those around a girl’s heart.

    Katara never thought she’d lie to her friends or sneak around with a boy she hates. But then, she didn’t expect Zuko to come to this city of secrets and do what he does best: turn her life upside down.

    Even if she wanted their affair to become something real, it’s out of the question. There’s a war waiting for them, and they can’t stay sheltered within these rings forever, enemies playing the part of lovers. He may care for her—may even need her—but not enough to change.

    Besides, catching is what Zuko is good at. Keeping, not so much.

    Summary

    Something unknown and unspoken is entombed underneath it all. It’s calling to her, daring her to burrow deeper, enticing her with the temptation to unbury something well-hidden and deeply felt. And Zuko has long been such an enigma, such a beacon in her life that Katara dares, just for one moment, to reach out and touch that unknown emotion, brushing the edges of it with her subconscious.

    ____

    The night after the final Agni Kai sends out shockwaves that ripple into the future and demolish several idealized views of destiny.
