Summary
Written in both Zuko's and Katara's perspective. More realistic-ish take on what could possibly happen after the war in the romances, politics, and society.
Lots of slow tension build up. Action and adventure. Descriptive world writing that hopefully remains true to the original animation.

Katara embraces the new world, supporting Aang as the Southern Water Tribe’s Ambassador traveling together like old times… or are things just too different now?
It will be years before the Fire Lord and the Waterbender find their tides of destiny crashing once more into each other.
For their lives are inevitably woven in fire, waves and ice. -

Summary
"What are you afraid of?" Katara asks.
"That I would consume you." Zuko replies, his normal impassiveness fallen as he keeps his arms to himself in fear that his rage would not only consume him but Katara.
"What makes you think you haven't?" Katara steps forward, her hand flying up to his cheek making him shiver with the contact.
"Don't—" he says.
"Why?"
"Because once you allow me," Zuko's eyes narrowed onto hers, locking her gaze "—I would never stop. I am consumed by you. I am yours."

Summary
The moment Zuko lept in front of lightning to save Katara’s life, everything changed.
In that moment, Katara felt the world shift. Not from Zuko’s act, but from something far greater. As the ripping energy tore into Zuko’s body, somewhere far in a battle against Ozai, Avatar Aang fell. And as Aang left the world, during that same moment death struck Zuko, the entire world felt it.
Zuko awakened from deaths grasp a different man. A man of well spun lies and treachery that somehow convinced his murderous, unforgiving sister to allow him a position by her side. Ruling the fire nation, and very soon, the world.
Katara has been a fire nation prisoner for two years, and knows not why Azula bothered to keep her alive. Never seeing the light of day, taunted and tortured with her brothers death, her friends sacrifice, and the boy who had betrayed her.
But when FireLord Azula gives Katara a task she can’t refuse on pain of death, putting her in close quarters with Zuko who she now hates above all else, Katara is forced to confront the world without the Avatar.
A world where the line between hate and love is thin as a trickle of water.
Secrets and destiny ravel and unwind where water meets flame.

Summary
[2024 RE-WRITE IN PROGRESS - CHAPTER 2/32]
Katara and Zuko's mission on board The Southern Raiders goes badly wrong, and they are captured and imprisoned in the unforgiving hull of the ship.
Katara now finds herself locked in a small room with a boy that she refuses to trust, and nine years worth of trauma and guilt swimming in her mind. She is resolute in her hostility towards Zuko, but as the horrors of their captivity unfold, an undeniable bond is formed in the quiet moments between their captor's torments.
When they find themselves safely back with their friends on Ember Island, they are both sporting deep scars – old and new, seen and unseen. Katara struggles to reconcile all the pieces of herself and figure out who she truly is. And Zuko continues to battle with his past guilt, and the new guilt that arises from his growing feelings towards Katara.
As their bond deepens – it may be the lifeline they both so desperately need to pull them from the dark waters of their past.

Summary
It is that faint sense of predetermination that should have let her know they would in fact burn her, in more ways than one.
Zuko's expression of gratitude sits heavily between them in clear admission that he’s the one getting more out of this. Suddenly, all previous stipulations fade away and all she wants to do is turn around and run away. But there’s nowhere and nothing to run to, even as there is nothing to run towards either.
The weight of Katara's sacrifice comes crashing down on her in waves as she finally realizes, this is where she’ll be for the rest of her life. This is the place she’ll die and be buried, this is the man she’ll wake up next to for all days to come, this is now all that’s left of anything.
