Summary
Aang is sixteen when Katara looks up from a half-built wall and cannot make the boy she has known for four years fit the young man in front of her.
What follows takes nearly three years: a winter of letters and rooms that learn to feel empty, a grandmother who puts a pouch of dried leaves on the floor between them, a stable at the South Pole where two people try to work out how to grow up without the ones who should have shown them, and the slow business of finding words for something their bodies reached first.
Set in the early Republic City years, before Air Temple Island and before the wedding. A prequel to The Ones We Carry.
Written for Kataang Week 2026, Day 4: Growing Together.

Summary
You don’t live without the people you lose. You live with them.
Twelve years after the war, months before his wedding, Aang wakes with a heaviness he can’t name. There’s a council meeting waiting, a young nation still being built, a world that has never stopped needing the Avatar. But some mornings the silence weighs more than others.
A quiet story about grief, memory, duty, and what remains when you’re the last person left to remember.
Set after Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender (2026).

Summary
“But it’s yours to say first. Not mine.”
A month before their wedding, Aang and Katara return to the South Pole.
Not everything that followed them south came to celebrate.
Between family traditions, old grief, unfinished histories, and a future they are not ready to name, they begin to understand that building a life together does not mean leaving the past behind. It means learning what to carry, what to choose, and what can still begin.
Set after Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender (2026).

Summary
Toph can read a city through the soles of her feet. She can hear a lie through stone, count bodies through walls, and feel the shape of a room before anyone speaks.
But the thing growing inside her is silent.
Afraid she may be pregnant, and more afraid of what she might become if she is, Toph goes to Katara for the truth. She finds a house already full of life: a newborn sleeping against Katara’s chest, cold tea gone bitter, sticky-handed children, Aang’s quiet kindness, and the unbearable possibility that there may be room for her too.
Set after Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender (2026).
