    Summary

    Before Katara knew it, Aang was a foot taller than her, his voice had settled into a melodic baritone, and his frame had gone from willowy and lean to hardened muscle and quiet strength.

    The cadence of their relationship changed.

    OR

    Katara and Aang grow up, and everyone has to deal with the consequences.

    Summary

    “Maybe someday you and Katara will hold a celebration of your own,” Hakoda added, the remark almost casual. It tilted the ground beneath Aang’s feet, and he stumbled awkwardly across the paving stones.

    “Er, I mean, I’m sure—”

    Hakoda laughed and slapped him on the back. “No rush, of course, you are both still very young. Plenty of time for weddings later.”

    Aang felt rather faint as he nodded. “Right of course…laterweddings.”

    OR

    Aang wants to propose to Katara and turns to his friends for advice. It's all predictably terrible.

    Summary

    “Hey, Aang?” Katara murmurs after a while. “What would you do if I … if I told you I wanted you?”

    He might actually die tonight, flushing red and head-over-heels, choking-on-his-own-tongue stupid. “Wanted me how?” He coughs. “Like, wanted me to do something?”

    “Yeah, something like that.” She leans in gently. “Could I kiss you?”

    As the Avatar, Aang spends a lot of time all over the world, but he loves the Southern Water Tribe best. There are a few reasons.

    Okay, one reason.

    Okay, maybe just one girl.

    Summary

    “Hey, take your shirt off. I’ll try to heal you again.”

    Aang groans softly. “It hurts.” Oh, he really hopes he doesn’t give her the fever. Zero out of ten, would not recommend. “Thank you.”

    Katara grins and tugs the healing water closer to her. “You can thank me after you feel better. Maybe it’ll work today.”

    Aang whispers, “I already feel better,” and he feels elated at the way she blushes. Six years of marriage and he can still make her giggle, sending her into the spinning rollick of glee and youth and impossibility. He likes charming her; always has.

    In which Aang is sick, Katara heals him, and Aang firmly believes that Katara deserves a national holiday named after her.

    Summary

    Katara kisses him again, delighting in the hum he gives and the way her hands run easily over his shoulders. He is so beautiful. She has never known why men aren’t called beautiful more often, why they bristle at the first syllable ー have you seen him lately?

    Her husband is resplendent, overwhelming. She cannot contain this praise for even a moment.

    Aang and Katara spend a night dancing in their half-constructed kitchen.
