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 Fire Prince is older. You can see it in the calmness of his expression, the relaxed carriage of his shoulders. He is smiling at her. She's never seen the Fire Lord's son smile.'

Summary
After the Fire Nation’s failed siege of the North Pole, a waterbender goes to the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe to insist the North join the war. Once she convinces the Chief to allow her to train the women in combat, the Northern Water Tribe joins the invasion on the day of Black Sun and turn the tides of the battle.
Now that the Water Tribes have influence over the Fire Nation, they can reclaim their autonomy and even demand an arranged marriage between the Crown Prince and one of their own. But after decades of war, can the world regain balance or will vengeance be prioritized over peace?

Summary
For a second, Katara is helpless. No bending, no running, not when she’s trying to pull air into her lungs, feeling the world spin nauseatingly around her.
That’s all Zuko needs.
He pins her with a truly insulting ease, grabbing her wrists to hold both down, and she is well and truly caught. She glares up at him – he is soaked from the water she has been throwing at him, but his golden eyes are glaring right back at her, and there’s that sneering curl to his lip that makes her want to dump half the ocean on his head.
He leans down and she can feel the heat of his breath in her ear.
“Leaving so soon?” he hisses.
***
OR: Zuko captures Katara, and imprisons her on his ship to use as bait to try to capture Aang.
No plan truly survives contact with the enemy. And this plan… goes absolutely sideways.
