   Summary

   Zuko can't believe this is happening. Surely the universe is testing him. He's been in love with Katara since he was a teenager. Now, she's shown up to his home, seeking a place to stay post-breakup. Were this a drama, Zuko would bring her to his favorite courtyard and say, Forget about the Avatar, marry me instead. And she'd agree and fall into his arms and he'd kiss her senseless and finally learn the taste of her mouth. They'd have beautiful, blue-eyed children that Zuko would never be an asshole to, and live happily ever after.

   However, that would probably cause a diplomatic incident. Also, he doubts she returns his feelings.

   So there's that.
