Flashpoint Act I: Kindling by BloodInTheTides

Summary
Nearly a year into her role as the Southern Water Tribe’s ambassador, Katara has accomplished what her counterpart from the North could not: securing reparations from the Fire Nation court. But when sabotage, scandal, and colonial unrest threaten the fragile peace of a post-war world, she finds herself pulled deeper and deeper into the viper’s nest of Fire Nation politics…and closer to its ruler. As rumors swirl and tempers flare between the Ambassador and the Fire Lord, Katara finds a helping hand, and unexpected solace, in the brother of one of her students. In a nation built on blood and lies, she must decide: how far is she willing to go to protect those who cannot protect themselves…and what will it cost her?
This is the first act of a five-act story. Act I is complete and comes to, what I consider to be, a narratively satisfying conclusion. I will be posting the remaining chapters of Act I every day during Zutara Month 2025.

Summary
It's been 5 years since the war ended when Katara arrives in Caldera as the new ambassador of the Southern Water Tribe. Katara and Zuko haven't spent any real time together since his coronation, and neither of them knows how to act around the other.
It would be so easy just to consider themselves friends...if either of them had ever stopped thinking about what happened between them that one night on Ember Island.
