Head canon that Katara as Fire Lady would be the head bitch in charge.
Tired of These Walls
"I don't care which of you does it, it just needs to get done! I don't know what kind of pissing competition you're doing, nor do I care- but it is affecting the efficiency of this committee, and the lives of our citizens. So knock it off and do your damn jobs." Katara hissed in fury.
Both men were speechless, ashamed of being called out- and a bit terrified of the woman. They bowed to her, "Yes, Fire Lady Katara."
"Dismissed. We'll adjourn next week."
The table of council members rose and slowly filed out the door and Katara slumped in her seat when they all exited, massaging her temple. She hated having terrible meetings. She also hated incompetent snobs who didn't do their jobs…
Katara sighed, staring at the walls of the throne room. It seems she'd been in here endlessly the past two weeks, dealing with morons. All alone.
"That was quite a lashing, my dear."
Katara gasped, turning to the hidden side door of the room to see her husband smiling at her. "Zuko! You're back!"
She excitedly jumped up to embrace him. Zuko laughed as he squeezed her tight. "Come on, why don't you take a break?"
"Yes, please." She groaned against his shoulder.
Zuko pushed her back and teased her, "I heard from my assistant that everyone is terrified you'll drown them."
Katara rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't need to if people weren't so incompetent."
"Trust me, I know how they can get." He fiddled with the crescent moon crown in her hair bun, straightening it for her. "Why don't we go to the beach with the kids? I already cancelled the rest of the meetings today."
Zuko always knew when she needed to get away from the palace. She pecked his lips. "That sounds absolutely perfect."
