    Summary

    ‘Is there something you need?’ he asks, more sharply than he intends. He’s so tried…

    Katara eyes him like he’s an animal, a wild thing she’s trying to ease into domestication. ‘The opposite, actually.’ She uncrosses her legs, leans forward in her chair and those tight blue eyes— full and ambivalent and certain all at once— get his full attention. ‘What if I did it? What if we did?’

    ‘What if we did what?’

    Her cheeks are ruddy, her braid messy as though she’s spent too long anxiously fiddling with it. ‘Date. Court. Whatever you call it.’

    Zuko blinks, repeats her words back to himself once twice, trying to make sense of them. No good; his brain is scrambled. ‘What…? What are you talking about?’

    ‘Sokka’s plan,’ she says slowly, frowning at him. ‘I’ve been thinking about it. It’s sound in theory, he just had the wrong girl in mind.’

    ‘Sokka’s…’ Zuko wet his lips. ‘You think we should play out Sokka’s plan?’

    ‘Yes.’

    Agni’s four hells…

    Summary

    He lays back against her thigh, conflicted vulnerability in his eyes. ‘I want more,’ he admits and her heart— which has never quite recovered from the acrobatics he puts it through— trembles. ‘If this… I don’t know what you want here, but I want more.’

    Summary

    Part of her wonders if she should thank him—if she could—but when she pulls away from her father and tries to make sense of the tangled words brewing in the back of her throat, Zuko is busy securing the balloon, dragging it off to the side and neatly folding the fabric back into the basket. The deep furrow of his brow and the tense set of his jaw gives her pause. His eyes are stormy and conflicted, so Katara bites her tongue, spins on her heel, and remembers a prince clad in black and red who spits fire and only knows how to take.

    Against all odds, in the moments between now and the end, Katara falls for Zuko.
