    Summary

    Katara unstopped the bottle with her thumb. The spirit water answered her call so eagerly. It wanted to heal Zuko, it knew this was right.

    She tried to coat her hand with it, but the water coalesced into a shimmering disk beneath her fingertips. Brilliant, pure, glimmering. She pressed it against Zuko’s cheek, glowing bright before it disappeared into his skin. A moment; another.

    And the scar remained.

    ~ ~ ~

    Katara could have brought Aang back, but she’d poured her only miracle into an unforgiving scar. Lost forever, the way the world would be now.

    Summary

    A Soul Mark could be left for any kind of love—familial, friendly, romantic, pure, fantastical. Each color represented a different bond between the people that touched skin-to-skin. The colors stayed the same until the death of that person. Then, the Soul Mark would turn grey.

    Katara had never seen someone without Soul Marks.

    But Zuko’s skin didn’t have colors—it only had scars.

    Summary

    Zuko and Katara are friends—always have been; always will be. He knows her coffee order down to the sugar level. She knows his shoe size whether in Water Tribe inches or Fire Nation sizing. They’re BFFEUTLCT (Best Friends Forever and Ever Until Tui and La Capsize on Themselves).

    It’s the oldest tale in time.

    So, the GAANG stage an intervention.

    Summary

    It's been five years since the end of the war, and marriage is the word on everyone's minds. But Katara knows what that really means. First comes marriage, and then children. She has been shackled with the responsibility of carrying on the airbender line before it goes completely extinct--and it's a mantle she has prepared herself well to take on. She loves Aang, and being a crucial part of history together...well, it's something she is honored to do by his side.

    That is, until memories and dreams start resurfacing as she barrels towards a future alongside the Avatar. And on the night of her wedding, she finds herself starting to spiral just a little. And only Zuko is there to comfort her.

    Meanwhile, the Fire Council has enforced an age-old law upon Zuko: marry by age 21 or forfeit the throne. One too many assassination attempts has them all feeling a bit nervous, and they want to guarantee the royal line. Zuko has resigned himself to a dull, loveless arranged marriage for the good of his nation.

    But then he and Katara are brought back together unexpectedly, forced to work alongside one another. And it quickly becomes impossible to forget what happened between them and the secrets they swore to keep.

    Summary

    Zuko falls to Azula's lightning, and Katara realizes she doesn’t want him to die. She doesn’t want anyone to die, but she especially doesn’t want him to die. Sometimes she thinks he’s the only one who understands, when the others are laughing and goofing off. What it’s like to have to try to be fun, to remind yourself that you’re just a kid too.

    (And how stupid and typical of him to die this way, sacrificing himself for her.)

    There’s not much else to do (she knows, she’s considered anything else she could possibly do). Katara pushes up her sleeves and sets to work saving his life.

    Or

    Katara heals Zuko after the Agni Kai and things go... wrong.
