   Summary

   When Zuko and their daughter are captured by the leader of the New Ozai Society, it's up to Katara to bring her family home. Two weeks later, she finally finds them, but at a cost. Though the worst is behind them, the scars remain, and Zuko's spirit is on the verge of breaking as old ghosts and new enemies threaten to destroy the life he'd fought so hard to build. While he struggles to navigate the aftermath of his captivity, Katara finds herself doing everything in her power to remind Zuko that healing is not a burden he has to carry alone.
