    Summary

    “We’re in the middle of the desert, waterbender. So you might have that barrel, but once it’s gone, what do you have?” Zuko moved forward, into her personal space. She was shorter than him, and he was using his height deliberately to glare down at her, but Katara didn’t back down. He could feel the sun soaking into him – his power was strongest while she was at her weakest, and for a moment he wished she would start something so that he could beat her in a fight. “I can make fire anywhere, and you might get one shot in, but then I am going to make you burn.”

    The moment dragged out.

    They were glaring.

    Still glaring.

    This was the point where the girl would usually be flying away on a bison and he’d be covered in perfume or something.
    Something shifted in her expression, and Zuko started fully processing what he had just said, and how it could perhaps have been phrased a little—

    Her voice was completely flat. “Make. Me. Burn.” Her mouth tugged, started widening into a sly smile.

    His stomach dropped. Oh no. “I meant it like—“

    Summary

    No one thought they would end up here. To be honest, most (all) of them figured they'd be dead by this time. Those first few days, when the war against Ozai was won and everyone celebrated, were easy. There wasn’t enough time to mourn, to grieve while they were still taking stock in what winning this war meant for the world and the Fire Nation alike.
