   Summary

   The war is over, and at barely seventeen, Zuko has a nation to rebuild, a world to make peace with, and far too many people with opinions on how an omega should rule the Fire Nation.

   Turns out all of that is much easier when compared to falling in love with an alpha who used to be your enemy—and who immediately rejects you, claiming he would never date someone from the Fire Nation.

   Has the heart he thought was already shattered somehow broken all over again? Yes.

   Will he keep moving forward? He wouldn't be Zuko if he didn't.

   Still, it would be a lot easier if Sokka didn't seem increasingly determined to stick his nose into Zuko's business.
