   Or,

   Five years after Katara and Zuko go missing in Ba Sing Se, Kya and Lee are found living peacefully in the Earth Kingdom countryside.

   Summary

   “What Katara hated more than the walking, was the flies. She had heard once from a refugee, who claimed to have been a Professor of Natural Science before the world ended, that beetles were the most common life form. She imagined now it had to be flies.
   Big fat angry black flies that bit at any exposed skin, tiny flies that swooped at your ears and dug into your hair, generations of flies that had only known an excess of rot in a new world order of death.
   She would be killed in these woods, she often thought, summoning the undead while slapping herself like she was ringing a dinner bell.”

   Set in the Earth Kingdom 12 years after the first outbreaks of a virus that descends the ATLA world into a zombie apocalypse. Zuko and Katara are forced together to survive in an unforgiving landscape of hostile monsters, human and zombie alike.

   Summary

   Sequel to Call Me Katto (spoilers follow!) Katara wakes to find herself imprisoned by the man she loved and must navigate a subtle battlefield if she hopes to escape and free her friends. Yet Zuko, embroiled in Azula's deadly game as he returns to a life he lost long ago, has no intention of letting her stray from his side. They could face anything together - if only she didn't hate him.
