Summary
The man startled, snapping his head up. Warm brown eyes, sharp with irritation and a level of exhaustion Sirius recognized from people who never caught a break.
“Oh,” the man said, as if Sirius being there was an inconvenience he’d been expecting. “You’re early.”
“I’m—Sirius Black.” He straightened. “Lead actor.”
“I know who you are,” the man replied dryly. “Everyone does.”

Summary
Katara has a plan for high school, just like she has a plan for everything: get good grades and kiss up to her teachers so she can move on to the next plan—(college), and the next (med school), and the next (a good job)—and so it will go, on and on for the rest of her life. A scowling delinquent like Zuko is not part of any plan, at least not until she gets a brief taste of what it feels like to let go.
But Zuko might not exactly fit the stories told about him. And as Katara increasingly spins out of the control of her family and friends, it’s unclear what she wants her story to be at all.

Summary
Katara and Zuko's mission on board The Southern Raiders goes badly wrong, and they are captured and imprisoned in the unforgiving hull of the ship.
Katara now finds herself locked in a small room with a boy that she refuses to trust, and nine years worth of trauma and guilt swimming in her mind. She is resolute in her hostility towards Zuko, but as the horrors of their captivity unfold, an undeniable bond is formed in the quiet moments between their captor's torments.
When they find themselves safely back with their friends on Ember Island, they are both sporting deep scars – old and new, seen and unseen. Katara struggles to reconcile all the pieces of herself and figure out who she truly is. And Zuko continues to battle with his past guilt, and the new guilt that arises from his growing feelings towards Katara.
As their bond deepens – it may be the lifeline they both so desperately need to pull them from the dark waters of their past.
