    Summary

    “What were you saying?”

    His golden eyes are warm and open, inviting her to be honest. To lay it all out, here and now, confess the feelings that have been swirling in her head for the last few days (or weeks, if she’s being honest).

    'I never got the chance to thank you for saving my life. Nobody’s ever jumped in front of lightning for me before. You could’ve died, and it made me realize just how much I care about you. The world needs you, I know, but so do I.'

    Instead, she buries those words and finds other ones. Easier ones.

    (or, it takes Katara 6 years to be honest with Zuko.)

    Summary

    He comes at night, on the eve of a storm that will last for seven years. She cannot know it then; only when the veil of perpetual blizzard seals the south from the rest of the world and she is a sea away in the belly of the empire will Katara understand her fate.

    “I need your help.”

    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.

    Summary

    Katara overshares on the internet. Zuko makes it a point to only lurk. Good thing there's nothing tying their online adventures to their real lives—right?

    Or, Katara and Zuko have something of a history, and when they reconnect after months of silence, there could be more going on behind the scenes than they realize.
