    Summary

    ‘We need this,’ Katara says quietly, intimately, as though they do not have the crushing weight of the whole Fire Nation on their collective shoulders. ‘It’s only a week.’
    He runs an anxious hand through his hair. ‘A whole week? Katara…’
    ‘What’s one week out of the hundreds we’ve served over the last six years?’
    He glances at his wife, at the loss of her sunny smiles. ‘One week.’

    Twelve years after the end of the war, Zuko is running on empty. Its hard to run a nation and heal the wounds of the past with a cold serpent where your inner fire used to be. When Katara, Iroh, and Izumi conspire to get the Firelord to take a break, nothing quite goes to plan...

    Sequel to Rumour Has It.

    Summary

    'Stop thinking about him,' was the wrong answer to give her, Zuko knew. So was 'I never want to stop touching you' and 'we could keep doing it, he doesn’t have to find out.' Aang was one of his best friends. He trusted Zuko to act honorably. And Zuko had just had passionate, drunk sex with the woman Aang loved.
    Katara was right. They were horrible people.

    Summary

    “Tell me yes if you understand,” he commanded.
    “Y-Yes,” Katara stuttered as Zuko skid his pointer finger down her cheek to trace the outline of her face.
    “Yes what?” He gripped onto the back of her neck while planting a soft, tantalizing kiss just below her jawbone, just hardly letting his teeth touch the surface of her skin.
    Oh Spirits, Katara’s pulse quickened. “Yes, Sir.”

    (After prompting from Katara, Zuko confesses that he would like to try having more control in the bedroom. Katara decides she's comfortable with giving this fantasy a try. She expected Zuko to enjoy himself, but what she didn't expect was how much she would enjoy it herself.)

    Summary

    This was the game they played.

    This year, like every other year, Zuko lingered a moment too long in her doorway when he bid Katara goodnight. This year, like every other year, Zuko watched Katara with an increasing intensity that made her squirm.

    She never knew what was behind that heated gaze. She was too afraid to ask. Too afraid to release the floodgates. Too afraid to stoke the fire that burned within her because it was already nearly all-consuming. All it would take was one slip of her carefully curated self-control and she would be his.

    This was the game they played.

    Summary

    Is it really a mistake if you keep doing it on purpose?

    The first time can always be discounted as a mistake. A one-time slip-up is a flight of fancy. Alternatively, it can be called a poor decision, or a lapse in judgment.

    Those excuses are less powerful the second time. They are useless the third and after.

    Azula and Sokka struggle with their desires after the war is over.

    Summary

    Five years after the war, Fire Lord Zuko accidentally agrees to be temporarily cursed in an attempt to help the near extinct dragons. He needs a healer to help get him through one summer of regular transformations. Katara, of course, is the best one for the job.

    Even if she exacerbates certain side effects; even if the side effects may require a new arrangement.

    "Hmm. In the Fire Nation we do things a little differently. Would you like me to show you?"

    Her heart leaps into her throat. "Something other than palm-reading?"

    "Yes," his warm breath skims over her ear. "Your future may be in your hands, but your character is in your bones."

    Summary

    Zuko does not notice when the Water Tribe girl first stirs. She is staring at his face — his scar — but strangely it is only when he faces her head-on that she is afraid.

    She is the first person who ever flinches at his right side instead of his left.

    He begins his interrogation at once. Uncle has dozed off, thankfully. If he knew she was awake, he would slow things down by offering tea. Still, Zuko is not a total barbarian. He thrusts the lukewarm tea in the girl’s direction. She looks around wildly, no doubt disoriented by her surroundings and Zuko presses his advantage.

    “Where is the Avatar?”

     

    A canon-divergent tale: Katara must protect the newly-found Avatar from a Fire Nation Prince, although he is not quite who she expected. But Katara has plenty of secrets of her own...
