    Summary

    After the First Wizarding War and the death of Voldemort, the wizarding society begins to rebuild, mourning those who bravely fought for the oppressed. Severus Snape lives a dull and ordinary life as a Potions professor at Hogwarts—until he encounters the innocent yet knowledge-hungry light in the brown eyes of Hermione Granger, the young Gryffindor who seems to be searching for her place in the wizarding world. From that moment on, his life transforms into a sweet torment, torn between desiring something he knows he cannot have and helping the Muggle-born girl who struggles to fit in, reminding him of himself at her age.

    Her wild halo of curls always seemed to be disappearing around the corner as he walked the stone corridors of the castle, trailing a lavender and mint fragrance that seemed to cling to his robes and burrow into his brain. He avoided the library, once a favorite refuge, and took to owl-ordering any books he didn’t already own, because she was sure to be set up at whichever table was nearest the aisle he needed. She would have piles of books spread across the entirety of the surface of the table, stacks of them on the chairs, her fingers smudged with ink, her brow furrowed and her bottom lip pinned between her teeth. She would not look up if he walked by.

    Summary

    Nothing has been untouched; starvation, exploitation, and death at the hands of the Fire Nation. As the Southern Water Tribe’s benders are hunted to extinction, one is born beneath a full moon. Her first cries echo through the night: a waterbender.
    The raid came fast—brutal, merciless. But Katara was spared. Hidden away in the Fire Nation palace, growing up in the shadow of her enemies. Forced to assimilate for survival, she clung to the only remnants of home, her mother’s necklace… and the light in a lonely boy’s golden eyes.
    Zuko. The prince who made her laugh when nothing else could.
    The Avatar returned, the war’s tides shifted, and Katara seized her chance to escape.
    Joining Aang, she fights for the world’s freedom—while battling the ghosts of her past, including the boy who never wrote, the boy who stood on the wrong side when it mattered most.
    He comes seeking redemption. And though she’s the only one who hasn’t forgiven him, those long-buried feelings—have never truly left her.
    In the quiet moments between battles, they begin to surface again, soft and smoldering. And slowly, painfully, their hearts begin to remember what they once were… and thoughts of what they might become.

    Summary

    Katara knew it was supposed to remain only a temporary solace — a little warmth before the final battle, a handful of stolen nights that should be easy to forget. But with every touch, it becomes not just solace, but a need.
    Secret meetings, quiet words in the dark, hesitant first touches that quickly turn into hunger — and both of them realize: “temporary” is never that simple.

    This story is a rewrite of Book 3, starting from “The Southern Raiders.”
    It runs alongside canon, taking its events into account, but shows the moments we never saw — the ones I wish had been there.

    In simple terms: a hidden romance in the shadow of Sozin’s Comet, a first experience that grows into dependence, and a friendship that turns into something much more.
