Summary
Left behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, Katara waits days for Aang, Sokka, and Toph to return. But when bounty hunters close in, her only chance at escape comes from the last people she ever thought she could trust: Zuko and Iroh.
Now traveling under false names, bound by a fake marriage, and with no room for mistakes, Katara finds herself on the road to Ba Sing Se. What begins as mutual distrust slowly unravels into eating side by side, sleeping even closer, and something far more dangerous: comfort. She thinks it will end once they reach the city, but in a place crowded with millions of refugees, and stuck in the Lower Ring, she doesn’t have much hope of finding the others. With no leads and nowhere else to go, she resolves to wait for her friends to find her.
But in their cramped apartment above the teashop, days turn into weeks, and Zuko and Katara begin to settle into something that almost feels like domestic bliss. It isn’t real. Or at least, it isn’t meant to be. But the longer they stay, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins.

Summary
When Katara chose to stay behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, nobody was concerned…until the library sank and Appa was kidnapped. Now, the Gaang is stranded in the middle of a desert without their waterbender, and things are falling apart fast.
Aang is unraveling, Sokka is hallucinating, and Toph? She’s barefoot, blind, and pissed…but somehow still the most capable one here.
She didn’t vote herself team captain, but it’s not like anyone else was qualified.
*Set during Fanning the Flames, this one-shot explores what Aang, Toph, and Sokka were going through off-screen, and how Katara’s absence changed everything.*

Summary
Avatar Aang promised not to kill a single living soul before his battle with Ozai, and he has managed to stay true to his commitment, even after the war has ended ... but when an unknown circus from the Fire Nation shows up in the city of Ba Sing Se, the sky bison Appa is forcefully reunited with the man who held him captive after the incident in the desert. Will Aang uphold his vow to see all life as sacred, despite having to confront the people behind the abuse of his companion?
NOTE: This screenplay takes place somewhere in-between the end of Avatar: The Last Airbender and the one-year time jump depicted in “The Promise” comic book.
