The story starts the way you remember. A banished Fire Nation prince sails toward the South Pole. Two Water Tribe siblings find a strange boy unconscious among the ice floes. But when these four meet, something happens that shakes them to their core: Zuko airbends. A reimagining of A:TLA book 1 with Zuko as the Avatar. The romance is a very slowburn side plot and not the focus.

Aang sidled over to Katara, wrapped an arm around her shoulders, and leaned his head close. "So. Katara," he began, keeping his expression serious. "Would you say I... light up your life?" he finished with a grin, producing a flame in his hand with a flourish.  Or, Aang learns cheesy puns and Katara begs the Spirits for patience.

Fire Lord Azulon once was told that bringing together the bloodlines of Avatar Roku and Fire Lord Sozin would create great firebenders for generations to come. However, he misunderstood at what cost this blessing would come to his family and to himself personally. The cost of power is high, and the cost of perfection is ever higher.

"That would be such a story to tell her later - the Avatar and his waterbending master babysat her!" Queen Nishi chuckled at the thought. "Are you sure?" Katara glanced at Aang, who gave a small shrug and a smile, and answered, "Absolutely." Or, Katara teaches Aang the ropes of looking after little ones, water tribe style. My entry for Kataang Week 2023: Cultural Exchange

It's been nine months since Katara broke off her engagement, renouncing her title as the Avatar's betrothed and reclaiming her name.

It had been five years since the defeat of the Fire Lord, and they had all grown older. Aang himself had turned 18 just a few months prior. And at the moment, they were travelling to a small village in the Earth Kingdom, where Suki had led them to under almost no explanation. Although Zuko had been worried, Toph had insisted on going.

Aang gave a nod, still watching the warm colors wash over the rooftops. Katara continued, turning to face him. "I've really enjoyed seeing what peacetime is like with you this past month - with all of you. And now that I don't have my every thought flooded with us all just staying alive, I've had time to think about *how* I want to live." Entry for Kataang Week 23: Confession
