    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.

    OR

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

    Summary

    Maybe it was because they had been circling this possibility since the moment Zuko first appeared at the air temple. Maybe it was because the world was quite possibly on the cusp of ending, and these last scattered days might be their only chance. Maybe it was a joke the universe was playing on them, a twisted, desperate bid for some semblance of cosmic balance as the scales began to tip.

    Whatever it was, Zuko and Katara couldn’t keep their hands off one another.

    OR

    Zuko and Katara on Ember Island given free rein to be horny twenty somethings and make a series of increasingly irresponsible decisions as is their Agni-given right.

    Summary

    Multi-Chapter sequel to Something Important.

     

    Katara was furious. How could Zuko be so stupid? Why hadn’t he told her? She pushed her way through the soldiers and stormed into the Firelord’s tent. “Zuko!” She hissed. “Did you seriously ask Aang to kill you?”

    Zuko looked back at her, dazed. “No?” He tried, but his face did that thing it did when he was lying and she could have screamed at him in frustration. “Yes,” He amended, quickly. “It’s not as bad as it sounds…”

    “Not as-?” Katara didn’t think she had ever been this angry at him. “I saw you a month ago! Why didn’t you talk to me?”

    “I didn’t want to worry you,” Zuko tried, standing from his desk with a pained expression. “I just... I don’t want to end up like him .”

    The promise he’d bound Aang to- the oath that had weighed so heavily on Aang’s shoulders, to kill the young Fire Lord if he began to turn into his father. Katara crossed the tent quickly, wrapping a startled Zuko in a tight hug. “You won’t,” She promised. “You’re not like him at all.”

    That seemed to be the wrong thing to say.
