Summary
Zuko wakes up ten years in an alternate future next to the waterbending girl who's name he can't remember and two children she claims is his own. With no clue on how he's landed in the south pole, Zuko concludes that he must gather the pieces in order to return home, back to the past and back to his life in the fire nation.
But unexpected feelings claim an unexpected piece of his heart.
“How can you look at me like that?” She asks, pulling him from his stupor.
Her blue eyes shift over his face, bound by the way he looks at her so intently, so infatuated. This man, who has loved and shared a life with her the past six years. And yet, she feels like she’s sixteen all over again. A sudden bud rose in her chest and blossoms into everlasting longing. Katara remembers this, remembers this exact scenario where Zuko had met her with the same gaze in the Crystal Catacombs so many years ago. Where he had met her with the same gaze in the quiet of his princely chambers and the kiss that silenced her sobs when she did not know if he would make it alive from the injury Azula had given him.
Zuko swallows. “Like what?”
“Like you’re seeing me for the very first time.”

Summary
“It has been torture. Do you know how many times—“ Zuko paused, biting his tongue again.
Katara looked up at him. “How many times what? Zuko.”
He glared at her. “How many times I fucked my own hand because I couldn't have you!” he exclaimed, years of frustration palpable in his words.
***
OR: Eight years after the war, Katara is sent to the Fire Nation on a diplomatic mission. There, she finds her old friend distant and cold, pretending she doesn’t exist. But Zuko can’t seem to stay away from her, no matter how wrong he believes it is to want her.

Summary
“You are aroused,” Neuvillette observes.
A strangled noise catches in Wriothesley’s throat. “You can’t just say that.”
“No?” Neuvillette cants his head to the side, though the gesture is meaningless in the darkness of the box, with Wriothesley’s forehead against the wall of it.
“People don’t—” Wriothesley exhales heavily. “I’m trying not to make you uncomfortable.”
After Neuvillette and Wriothesley volunteer to help Lyney and Lynette with a magic trick, they find themselves trapped in a box. They make do with their situation.
