Summary
Katara hates him. She hates him and still she cannot stop thinking about the way Zuko's heated lips had felt on hers in that rushed, hurried tryst – pressed into a tight, dark alcove of the Western Air Temple.
It has been two days since they’d played that stupid game of hide and seek where she'd found herself sharing a cramped hiding spot with Zuko. And the smug, knowing glances he throws her way are driving her crazy.
So she formulates a plan to get her own back on him. Little does she know that she will unwittingly set into motion a series of games that will drive them both to the edge of insanity.

Summary
In hindsight, he couldn’t have said when or how he decided to do it. It was less of a decision and more of an instinct. Less choice than inevitability.
All he knew was the moment Katara’s mouth tipped up toward his, he captured it with his own.

Zuko and Katara have an empty summer home to themselves and…events transpire.

Summary
I took this out of the main story because I wanted her secret to be revealed later in the story, closer to Mulan's story
I still wanted to include it as a 'Deleted Scene' because it was fun to write and explore the option of Zuko finding out sooner.
Plus, I was feeling a little spicy on that day and writing with the flow of it all. The scene came out pretty good, so I chose to hang onto it.

Summary
Katara and Zuko's mission on board The Southern Raiders goes badly wrong, and they are captured and imprisoned in the unforgiving hull of the ship.
Katara now finds herself locked in a small room with a boy that she refuses to trust, and nine years worth of trauma and guilt swimming in her mind. She is resolute in her hostility towards Zuko, but as the horrors of their captivity unfold, an undeniable bond is formed in the quiet moments between their captor's torments.
When they find themselves safely back with their friends on Ember Island, they are both sporting deep scars – old and new, seen and unseen. Katara struggles to reconcile all the pieces of herself and figure out who she truly is. And Zuko continues to battle with his past guilt, and the new guilt that arises from his growing feelings towards Katara.
As their bond deepens – it may be the lifeline they both so desperately need to pull them from the dark waters of their past.
