    Summary

    When the warriors came to take her, Gran Gran whispered stolen secrets that she only dared share in the deepest of night where the sunlight could not reach them: a name, and a weakness, and the answers held betwixt.

    And so she waited, like all the other women brought here before her, for the brutal and capricious God of Sun, and for the gift He would give to her people, and for what it would cost.

    And so, she knew what she must do.

    If Katara were another woman, she might have wept for them, or for her grandmother, or maybe for herself.

    But, tonight, as she knelt low before the flames and began her terrible devotion, her eyes were dry and hard as bleached whale bone; the ice dagger in her palm and the power within her to wield it would have to be consolation enough.

    Or, Katara plots to kill the god of Sun.

    Summary

    This was just… convenient. Maybe a symptom of avoidant behavior to ward off the prospect of a real relationship, genuine vulnerability. An immature indulgence unbecoming of a Fire Lord and one of his appointed ambassadors-slash-childhood enemy-slash-friend. A perverse method of self-preservation.

    A dry bark of a laugh is scraped from her throat.

    Didn’t feel much like she was preserving anything.

    Summary

    “I’m just saying—I could narrow it down. For you. If you want.”

    He stares at her for a long moment, eyes darting back and forth between hers like he’s looking for something very specific. Katara isn’t sure if he finds it or not.

    “Okay. If you—if you want.”

    “How hard can it be?” Katara pulls one out of the stack. “Rina likes iced tea. That would never work.”

    He grins as she crumples Rina’s application and tosses it into the corner. “You know me.”

    “Exactly.” She does. “Honestly, you should have asked me from the start.”

    OR

    Katara takes it upon herself to screen Zuko's suitors.
