    Summary

    For a second, Katara is helpless. No bending, no running, not when she’s trying to pull air into her lungs, feeling the world spin nauseatingly around her.

    That’s all Zuko needs.

    He pins her with a truly insulting ease, grabbing her wrists to hold both down, and she is well and truly caught. She glares up at him – he is soaked from the water she has been throwing at him, but his golden eyes are glaring right back at her, and there’s that sneering curl to his lip that makes her want to dump half the ocean on his head.

    He leans down and she can feel the heat of his breath in her ear.

    “Leaving so soon?” he hisses.

    ***

    OR: Zuko captures Katara, and imprisons her on his ship to use as bait to try to capture Aang.

    No plan truly survives contact with the enemy. And this plan… goes absolutely sideways.

    Summary

    When the next letter arrived, Zuko let it sit on his desk for a whole day before opening it, as if somehow Sokka would sense, a continent away, that he was still pretty pissed about Sokka trying to rope Iroh into this whole festival visit insanity. Finally, his point proven to literally no one except himself, Zuko waited until after a long bending practice, then a full bath, before he casually picked up the letter and broke the seal.

    **

    OR:

    Zuko has been Fire Lord for six years when Sokka starts trying to convince him to attend the Spring Gift festival at Wolf Cove, and Sokka isn’t taking no for an answer.

    Summary

    His father traces his scar one last time, then leans back, his long silk sleeves brushing against the filthy straw. “Would you like to come out of this cell, Zuko? Your room at the palace is waiting for you. You can take a bath. Have a fine dinner. Put on clean clothes. There is a meeting of the ministers tomorrow afternoon, and I would be so glad if my heir would attend.”

    Maybe the executioner really is waiting, and this is all a trap.

    But, maybe not.

    Zuko has always been a survivor.

    And he has been in this cell long enough to know that no one is coming for him.

    OR:

    The reign of Fire Lord Zuko lasted for three years before his father’s coup.

    That was two years ago, and now Ozai is ready to let Zuko out of prison. After all, a Fire Lord needs his heir – assuming that heir has learned his lesson.

    Summary

    “Just run, Katara! We’ll meet you in Ba Sing Se!”

    Katara had never left Sokka before, had never imagined having to separate herself from Aang or Toph — but, on the other hand, she had also never planned to get eaten by a sea serpent at the ripe old age of nineteen, so she ignored the agony in her leg, turned her back on the others, and ran as fast as she could.

    It was just temporary, she reminded herself. She would get to the city just a few days after them, tops.

    ***

    OR: Katara is separated from the group at the Serpent’s Pass, and runs into unexpected frenemies on the road to Ba Sing Se.
