    Summary

    Without the demands of a century-long war, waterbenders use their gifts for art rather than combat. Katara and her family’s troupe of waterbending performers travel to the Fire Nation to exhibit for its lord. With a dance of moon-silvered water, Katara ensnares an admirer who offers gifts and unsigned notes.

    As the troupe spends six weeks with the capital’s firebenders to craft an unforgettable tandem performance—a union of fire and water—Katara extends an invitation to meet the admirer. She is not expecting Fire Lord Zuko himself.

    A hidden duet between them ignites kinship, passion, and then fierce devotion.

    Summary

    As she watches Lee and Kya avoid each other's eyes from across the room, the phrase comes back to her, swift and silent:

    "To hesitate is to lose."

    .

    As Song treats the victim of an unfortunate interaction with a rare poisonous flower, her day takes an unexpected turn when it becomes apparent that the old man's nephew and her assistant have history.

    A vivid history.

    Summary

    “Inuyasha?” she breathed.

    His expression grew even more startled. “H-how do you know my name?” Before she could respond, he tried to dart past her legs, but she stepped in his view before he could. “Move it, lady! Or else I’ll-”

    “-tear me apart with your claws, yes, yes, but answer me this...” she looked him in the eyes, resisting the urge to wipe the dirt off his cheeks, to sit him in her lap and give his hair a good, long brush. Her voice came out shaky. “How old are you?”

    “The hell kinda question is that?” he spat. “Let me go, you crazy miko!”

     

    or: a twelve year old inuyasha collides with post-canon kagome.
