Summary
Ten years after Zuko’s betrayal, Katara is captured by the Phoenix Empire and forced into an arranged marriage with him.
The Avatar is dead. The war never truly ended. In the years since Sozin’s Comet, benders have been tracked, registered, and suppressed before their power can become resistance.
Katara has survived by refusing to look back—at the war, at what she lost, or at the prince whose betrayal helped shape the world she now lives in.
Stripped of her bending and bound to Zuko, Katara discovers that taking down the Empire may require the one thing she never expected: working with him.
To dismantle the system that trapped them, they will have to trust each other long enough to survive it—and confront the betrayal that has stood between them for ten years.

Summary
Several years after winning the war, Zuko’s success lies in being a benevolent Fire Lord but failure lies in finding a healer for Azula. With no other options left, he pulls on the tenuous thread of his friendship with Katara and asks her to try and heal Azula as his last resort.

Summary
After Sozin’s Comet, the Fire Nation sealed its borders with Katara and a wounded Zuko trapped inside. The rest of the world assumed he was dead, she was lost, and there was nothing left to do but mourn them. Five years later, the Fire Nation is rebuilding and the borders are finally open again.
But peace means very little to the children still waiting for medicine or to the people who are running out of patience. And none of them - not Zuko or Katara or Aang - are the people they were when the Fire Lord fell. Sooner or later they'll all have to face the choices they've made, what they owe to the people they couldn't save, and whether a love born in a cage can survive outside it.
The war is over. The revolution has just begun.

Summary
Zuko doesn't mean to take the necklace.
Well, no, that's not quite right. He sees it on the floor of the cave, back where Katara- the waterbender had been before she conjured a massive wave over him and the Dai Li and carried the Avatar's lifeless body up through the ceiling. Everyone else is leaving. His sister isn't looking. He shouldn't be either.
Her mother's necklace.
He stows it away in his pocket.

Summary
There’s no conversation about it—there never is with the Blue Spirit—yet they still manage to seamlessly fall into their new routine.
Fight. Fuck. Repeat.
And, once the sun returns to the sky, pretend like none of it is happening.

Summary
“The Fire Lord proposes a marriage between his son, Crown Prince Zuko, and Princess Katara,” Iroh said, turning to face her.
If she wasn’t already sitting, she would have collapsed given how light headed she was at his words. Her mouth went dry. Her fingers went numb. A marriage? To the Fire Lord’s son?

Summary
His one eye burned fiercely into hers, his iris molten gold as only the Imperial Family’s were. In it she saw villages reduced to crumbling skeletons wreathed in flame, torchlight of some epic destruction; she saw the blaze of a funeral pyre, her mother wrapped in furs now only ash upon it.
It's a political arrangement. Most likely the best thing Katara could hope to do for the war effort. Not a surrender, an alliance.
If she had to give up her freedom for the lives of her people, so be it. She would dress the part, suffer the scorching heat of the Fire Nation climate, and assimilate into the culture of her mortal enemies. She would even lie with their prince.
She would never, ever, fall in love. Her heart was the one thing she had left—she would guard it with her life.

Summary
After Zuko fails to capture Aang in the Spirit Oasis, he takes the next best thing: Katara. He plans to use her as bait to lure the Avatar, but a raging blizzard forces them to take shelter in an ice cave. They’re alone, freezing, and cut off from the rest of the world.
Polar blizzards can last for days, and survival leaves Katara no room for pride, or distance. Sharing warmth is unavoidable, but what she doesn’t expect is how much she comes to crave it. Katara knows she shouldn’t want this, but that doesn’t stop her. And with every passing night, it becomes harder to pretend she doesn’t ache for him.
