Summary
As their first wedding anniversary draws near, Fire Lord Zuko is determined to give his wife a present she’ll never forget, something that will leave her breathless. He’s determined to pull out all of the stops as Katara deserves nothing but the best he has to offer, and he'll settle for nothing less than pure wonder and amazement.
