    Summary

    Zuko has not known real peace since the day he faced his sister in the Last Agni Kai many years ago.

    No matter how many times he tried to bury them, his feelings for a particular waterbender refused to fade. At every shared meal with the Gaang, every sparring match in a courtyard, and every visit 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's instead. And, as time went on, Zuko taught himself to look away — for their sake, and 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 Hundred Year War, Post-Canon)

    Summary

    “Roads were made for journeys, not destinations.” ― Confucius

    One moment changes the course of history. Katara and Zuko are imprisoned by the Fire Nation Army during the Day of Black Sun, and when they escape, they find themselves adrift in the Fire Nation with no one to rely on but each other. With only six weeks before Sozin’s Comet arrives and four nations to cross, the pair must track down Katara’s allies, save the world—and learn to trust each other.

    Canon divergent from Part 2 of 'Day of Black Sun.'

    Summary

    Katara grew up in the Southern Water Tribe under the tutelage of Hama, the only waterbender ever to have escaped Fire Nation captivity. When Zuko arrives at the South Pole, seeking the Avatar, they are more than ready to defend him. Iroh watches as his beloved nephew throws himself at the ice walls again and again in an impossible siege–-and resolves to do anything it takes to save his nephew from himself. With the assistance of the Order of the White Lotus, he deposes his brother on the Day of Black Sun.

    A week later, the Southern Water Tribe receives a petition for peace, and a proposal of marriage.
