    Summary

    He opened his mouth to reassure his uncle, to tell him that he’d be able to start running in just as second, just as soon as the world stopped spinning, but instead all he muttered was, “I’m tired.”

    When Iroh brushed against the back of Zuko’s head the pain there abruptly muscled to the front of Zuko’s list of issues, and he gave a loud groan. Iroh pulled back quickly, but Zuko could see that his hand was now dripping with blood.

    “Then you should rest, Prince Zuko,” Iroh said, his voice calm and controlled, which would’ve been very nice if the lines of concern on his face hadn’t been so obvious. Zuko watched blearily as Iroh began to look sharply around them, apparently assessing something. “A man needs his rest.”

    The world started getting hazy again, but the lack of attempted movement was a slight improvement. A series of shouts pulled him back from the creeping numbness, and Zuko forced his eyelids open.

    Iroh was waving his arms, signaling to someone. “We surrender!” Iroh bellowed. “I am with the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, and he needs a doctor!”

    Zuko and Iroh are taken prisoner by the Northern Water Tribe following the battle in Agna Qel’a.

    Summary

    Aang didn't plan to hurt Katara—it just happened. She's already forgiven Zuko, she can forgive the Avatar too. Katara will protect Aang's innocence, even if she needs to hide her scars to do so.

    Love is a battlefield, but that just means someone's bound to get hurt.

    (It's alright, though—Zuko will help her heal.)

    .

    Or: Aang's fight with Katara results in an accident more brutal than anything they've faced before. Zuko's there to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    It's quite astounding, really, how quickly she's learned to translate him. They've spent a grand total of zero time together outside of training, and he's hardly big on chat so she knows next to nothing about his life.

    But she knows him, probably better than she knows anyone at the moment – with every tap of his fingers, every crook of his lips, every turn in his voice, he just...

    He makes sense to her. It's weird.

    Summary

    So yes, Katara was attracted to her husband, and that was bad enough, but her ultimate, complete devastation was that she was also in love with her husband.

    So she pined. Silently. Angrily, if she was being honest.

    And she was getting restless.

    ————————————————
    For the good of international relations, Katara and Zuko marry a few years after the war. Their politics are strong, but their relationship is practically nonexistent.

    And Katara reaches a breaking point.
