Ugh, my vacation lasted longer then I thought by a few days. Came back and slept at Celecia's house with Neechan. This is all that I could think of to write after that, being exhausted as I am. My first attempt at KataraxZuko in Zuko's point of view. I find this couple most improbable, but heck. Bad fiction, excuse my writer's block.

Times have long changed, and the odds are against us.
I don't know when this infatuation begun, but the sudden realization was painful upon a jaded hour in thought. It stung like the pained memories I shroud, and from that I was filled with a steadfast resistance. It climaxed to a point where I wished for it – for you – to end.
Yet you ease the fire, the malevolence in my heart, with a mere glance from azure eyes. This love would be a taboo against our morals, but I cannot not fool myself, nor you, anymore.
Would you risk it all? I cannot decipher the feeling you emit. I glare at you to veil my inquiring, and the cold is returned fiercely as you turn from my sight.
We're different- hell, we're opposites. Fire and water, gold orbs penetrating beryl. Bad and good. And yet, in the end, what defines good and bad? What decides our fate?
Who decides who is deserving or not?
I am not strong enough to offer you commitment, and in a sense, may never be. My heart is unable to heal itself to the point where I am alive enough for you. You're too delicate, fragile, and your attention unfitting for I.
I want to live, but I am in too deep to fall into the pages of another fairytale.
The odds are against us, yet with time and subtle acceptance you remedy me.
