Summary
The war has changed. In the days of Sozin and his daughter, Fire Lord Kazue, the Fire Nation fought with armies and warships and brought the world to its knees. But Kazue saw that the war was unsustainable. That they were going to lose. So she taught her son peace. She showed her firstborn Azulon how to reach a stalemate, how to end the war without letting anyone know they had lost. This is your legacy, she promised him: remaining a global power without shedding any more blood.
Fire Lord Azulon cooled down the war, but people still fight. The world is no longer a warzone, a multicultural city has sprung up on Fire Nation conquered lands they've ostensibly given back to the Earth Kingdom. The Four Nations live in peace, but a charged wind blows throughout the world. Everyone with a nose can smell sulfur, can tell the half-brokered peace is a powder keg. This world is unsustainable, something will set it alight
The war has changed. It's traded armies for intelligence; small groups of highly skilled individuals fight for their Nation in the shadows. People like Sokka and Suki, who are about to rip the Fire Nation a new one and trick these sons-a-bitches into giving up all their intel.
Or so they think.

Pema's mother had warned her about the sleepless nights, of course-- she just hadn't taken the warnings seriously.
That had been a mistake.

Summary
In the end, it isn't like the stories she loved as a child-- the grand epics her father would weave for her and her mother as they huddled together on the coldest nights, the ones where the hero and heroine went on grand adventures and fell madly in love somewhere along the way.
It's not love at first sight, either. (She's not even sure when they first met, anyway.)
There's no single moment where she suddenly becomes aware that oh, so this is what love feels like.
She doesn't trip, fall, or stumble her way into love. There's nothing accidental about it.
She loves him because she chose to, because he's kind, and caring, and he makes her laugh. Because she can't imagine her life without him. Because he found her when she was lonelier than she'd ever been in her life, and he'd promised her that she'd never be alone again.

"I'm going to marry you," she tells him one day, completely out of the blue, and he can't find the words to protest.
