Somehow, Gaara and Karin, of all people, end up stranded in a foreign empire far to the south of Wind Country. They must make their way back home, enduring bandits, foreign armies, pirates, clients, temperamental himes, and one another, all without killing each other. And once they return home, they must face the even bigger question of "now what?" (Mostly canon, now with lemons)
