Summary
It's a Zutara non-bending Regent Era AU!! Especially for all the people out there who have yet to get over the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie but also for people who've never seen it and just want a nice Regent Era/ Bridgerton-esque lightweight read.
Katara hates Mr. Lee. The most arrogant, entitled man she has ever met. A man she wouldn't marry even if all the men in the world should suddenly disappear. A sentiment that he shares, Katara knows. He's proved this multiple times with his mean words and actions, but then why does he keep looking at her, and she at him?

Summary
I set the fire, Mizu had confessed thickly into Taigen's ear, when their mouths were still filled with ash, eyes half-sealed with tears from acrid smoke.
Did you have a choice? Taigen had asked as a response, hauling them forward another step across a bridge, toward another life.
Mizu had fallen silent—so silent that Taigen lifted his chin in worry that he had drawn his final breath without Taigen's permission.
No, the not-samurai had told him then. I did not have a choice.
And Taigen believed it.
Fool.
+
Post season 1 canon divergence.
Taigen crosses the bridge to pursue happiness with Mizu instead.

Summary
“Well, I’m heading to bed too,” he announces as he stands up. He doesn’t wait for her response as he begins making his way to the room he’s staying in.
He hears her voice behind him. “Yeah, whatever. You don’t need to tell me. You don’t need my permission, you fuckin’ virgin.”
Makoto pauses. He doesn’t turn back around, but he hears her make a small noise—one of confusion, surprise even. It was barely audible. She had tried to hide it.
“Would you stop with that?” he finds himself saying, his hands curling into fists.
Abbie barks out a laugh. “Maybe I will if you finally do something about it. I know Laurent is dying to—”
“Shut up,” involuntarily, he pulls his shoulders closer to himself. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Nights are warm in Singapore, and the heat is getting to Makoto's head.

Summary
It was just an innocent comment, something that should have been forgotten as quickly as it was said. But it kept coming back to her and she just had to conduct an experiment.
