    Summary

    Aang is sixteen when Katara looks up from a half-built wall and cannot make the boy she has known for four years fit the young man in front of her.

    What follows takes nearly three years: a winter of letters and rooms that learn to feel empty, a grandmother who puts a pouch of dried leaves on the floor between them, a stable at the South Pole where two people try to work out how to grow up without the ones who should have shown them, and the slow business of finding words for something their bodies reached first.

    Set in the early Republic City years, before Air Temple Island and before the wedding. A prequel to The Ones We Carry.

    Written for Kataang Week 2026, Day 4: Growing Together.

    Summary

    A world without war is no less conflicting, years apart has been soul-constricting.

    Avatar Roku died, murdered by Fire Lord Sozin. For 100 years, the Avatar cycle ceased to be. No confirmed nor rumored existence of its reincarnation. The Air Nomads, nearly wiped out due to their inability to continue the Avatar cycle, are hated by many and protected by few. The remainder of them often sought refuge in the one place that granted asylum. The Southern Water Tribe. Here, as children, Aang and Katara meet for the first time and continue meeting for the rest of their lives. Too bad after Aang's discovery as the Avatar at the tender age of 14, he'd been whisked away for training. Even worse, Katara was in love with him. Still was, even five years later and suddenly arranged to be married to some stranger meant to help raise the Southern Water Tribe’s political leverage. Katara had always wished to serve and protect her homeland… but to do so like this??? At the complete dismissal of all she valued and held dear?

    Be careful what you wish for, one must guess…

    You might just get it.

    It was just up to Katara to stop feeling so pissed about it.

    Summary

    “Yeah?” he groaned into her mouth, claiming it in another kiss. “Hard and deep?”
    She nodded eagerly, moaning needily, and everything felt so clear. She could feel the heat from them both, feel the ache between her thighs, already dripping and squeezing around nothing. He could probably smell her, too: desperate, open, raw.
    “Fuck you on this throne until you scream?”
