Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

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
It all comes apart when Ron says, “I’m done.”
Hermione is tired. Tired in a way that drags her body down by replacing her bone marrow with lead, making gravity her enemy and effort her eternal companion.
She fought a war. Won a war. She’s done everything right, been presented with literal awards to commemorate her successes and her sacrifices.
And she’s so, so tired.
[In which Hermione finally takes some time to slow down after the war. In a beautiful countryside, she rediscovers love.]
