   Summary

   What would've happened if Zuko & Katara had spent just a little more time together in the Catacombs of Be Sing Se? How would that affect each of them once Zuko defects the Fire Nation to help Aang save the world?

   Follow this rewrite of ATLA from the WAT onwards as an aged-up Gaang goes through the difficulties of war, love, and the hope for peace.

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   To give all our beloved characters the endings they deserve.
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Starts in ATLA the WAT, touches on some aspects of comics, & is VERY canon divergent post-war.
