Author's Note: The Face-Stealer drabbles and fics were written in a series of blind requests.

"Take it for what you will." She could hear a new casualness in his voice, as though he was stretching. "Something terrible is coming;" Katara's eyes snapped open but she didn't dare look up. "I thought the Avatar might wish to be informed."
