Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

Summary
“Roads were made for journeys, not destinations.” ― Confucius
One moment changes the course of history. Katara and Zuko are imprisoned by the Fire Nation Army during the Day of Black Sun, and when they escape, they find themselves adrift in the Fire Nation with no one to rely on but each other. With only six weeks before Sozin’s Comet arrives and four nations to cross, the pair must track down Katara’s allies, save the world—and learn to trust each other.
Canon divergent from Part 2 of 'Day of Black Sun.'

Summary
Moving to New Orleans to start up her rehabilitation hotel for criminals hasn't been all berries for Charlie, especially if everybody thinks you're some Dumb Dora with a complete horseshit plan.
And it's another jam that she's starting to get stuck on Alastor, the charming yet eccentric radio host next door who's never fully dressed without a smile.
But she's all smiles too, and that's made her out to be quite the dish to Alastor - in all senses of the word - and boy, was he ready to be entertained.

Summary
"...his wand," Haru said finally. Suzue looked up at him, elegant brows creased in slight confusion. It might be stupid of him to ask, but a wand could say a lot about a wizard or witch. "What kind of wand does he have?"
It took Suzue a moment. She stared at Haru for a heartbeat longer before calmly adjusting her coat. She coughed into her hand, clearing her throat. This was... a bit unexpected, she hadn't thought Haru to be so forward, but perhaps she could spin it in her brother's favor.
"Well," Suzue said daintily. Haru took a sip of his pumpkin juice. "Per the account of his past paramours, I will say it is... impressive."
Haru frowned, looking confused. Suzue swept on, "Not lacking in size or power, from what I've been told. His... wand will surely not fail to satisfy and considering my brother, he would put your pleasure first—"
Haru choked, hacking viciously on his pumpkin juice. He wheezed, gagging with wide eyes, "NOT THAT WAND!"
Or—
Daisuke Kambe has it all, unlimited money and magic, pureblood status—but he only has one year to get the only person that matters to fall in love with him.
