Four years have passed since the end of the war, but as they meet again and encounter many obstacles, Zuko and Katara realize that whom their hearts truly burn for is one another. Can they love each other knowing they will hurt those that love them? What will become of them when a new enemy appears with a vengeful plot to destroy everything they had worked for to bring peace?

Cursed to live with the body of a fearsome beast, Zuko hid from a cruel world that would not hesitate to destroy him, consumed with rage for those who had betrayed him, resigned to a lifetime of solitude. But then a ray of hope came in the form of a beautiful, blue-eyed woman. Could she look beyond his physical appearance and break his curse? Or would he forever remain alone?

Years after the war, Zuko and Katara are living a blissful married life, but trouble soon threatens their world. Before Zuko sailed away to stop a rebellion, he promised Katara to return to her. But on his way home, Zuko encounters many painful obstacles. Royal Court begins to force Katara to remarry, but she knows Zuko's still alive. Can Zuko arrive in time to take back his wife?

Katara's plan was to ignore her high school crush and forget her feelings for him before she went insane. What she did not know was that Zuko had a different plan of his own: make Katara notice him until she agreed to be his. AU
