Summary
Prince Zuko, the son of Fire Lord Ozai, turns 21. His father sends him on a dangerous mission to infiltrate the neighboring kingdom ruled by King Hakoda and steal the prestigious and highly guarded Key to prove himself worthy of the crown. The Key provides and sustains the magic of all four kingdoms of the world, and a peace treaty was signed by each kingdom in favor of King Hakoda being its keeper. Along the way Prince Zuko meets Princess Katara, and they get along despite the differences in their heritage. Zuko grows fond of Katara, and she of him. But he mustn’t let his feelings get in the way of his duties; his honor is on the line. The two young royals soon find themselves in dangerous situations, and they have no one other than each other to depend on. Their love grows stronger, but there are too many secrets between them for it to become anything more. All they can do it watch as it obliterates everything they love, including themselves.

Summary
Zuko felt himself being pulled apart, the world around him swirling in a chaotic mix of light and darkness. Katara's scream echoed in his ears, but he couldn’t discern where she was or if she was even still with him.
In the shadows of a world ruled by the Fire Nation, two enemies would have to navigate their differences—or risk losing everything.

Summary
"What are you afraid of?" Katara asks.
"That I would consume you." Zuko replies, his normal impassiveness fallen as he keeps his arms to himself in fear that his rage would not only consume him but Katara.
"What makes you think you haven't?" Katara steps forward, her hand flying up to his cheek making him shiver with the contact.
"Don't—" he says.
"Why?"
"Because once you allow me," Zuko's eyes narrowed onto hers, locking her gaze "—I would never stop. I am consumed by you. I am yours."

Four years later, the war is still at large and the fire nation has taken over. While the Avatar is struggling to come to terms with the loss to the fire nation, Sokka is debating whether or not Aang is the real Avatar and Katara is losing sense between herself and The Painted Lady.
And Zuko, will do whatever for the one who he’d burn for.

Summary
Love was never in doubt, but life was. After all, a water bender as a Fire Lady would be a change, and the world may not be ready for them yet.
