    Summary

    When Katara experiences a sudden upheaval in her meticulously planned life, fate brings her to the Water Tribe village of Naamaruk. There, she comes face to face with her past and must reconsider the kind of future she wants for herself. All the while, she finds that almost every corner she turns in the village leads her to cross paths with Zuko, a mysterious man who has earned the love of the people in Naamaruk and has a hundred jobs but no answers to her many questions. Despite their differences, they may each be what the other needs.

    --

    Or, a love story set in a small seaside village.

    Summary

    Katara grows up believing in a lot of things. She believes that the death of her grandmother does not mean the death of the last Southern waterbender. She believes the message that the red-armored soldiers bring to her doorstep: That the Fire Nation is evil.

    There are other things she believes in, too. Happy things. Hopeful things. She believes that Aang will save the world and that Sokka has a braver heart than any other warrior in their tribe. She believes that she has the courage and spirit to fight and enact real change in the world. And, perhaps most flippantly, Katara believes in soulmates.

    She also wholeheartedly believes that Zuko is not her soulmate––almost as wholeheartedly as he doesn’t believe in the concept at all.

    Summary

    It’s kind of ridiculous, how they had just missed each other. Stiles gave up on her the moment she had fully given into her feelings for him. It had been horrifying to know that she had let herself fall believing that there was someone to catch her, but really there hadn’t been. Lydia has been suffering the injuries ever since– bandaging stinging scrapes on her arms and feeling perpetually out of breath, like she’s landing on the ground, taking a blow to the chest, over and over and over again.

    Being in love is a constant. It is sewn onto her body like it is a shadow, padding softly after her wherever she goes. She’s tried to rip it off, but then she sees Stiles joking around with Scott or teasing Kira or solving puzzles over Skype– she isn’t allowed in his bedroom anymore– and it clings to her, wrapping its knobby hands around her shoulders.

    Summary

    Summary: When they were kids, Zuko and Katara didn’t get along that well; now Katara’s back from college, and both of them have a vested and petty interest in showing off the person they’ve managed to become. So when Sokka throws a wild party one night, Zuko and Katara decide to get reacquainted—and this time they get along swimmingly.

    ~

    Katara’s rehearsed this, and she never flubs a performance; so she stands her ground, remaining stock still even as adrenaline courses through her veins and throbs deep in her core. The weed is making everything seem vivid and fascinating, so she can’t stop herself from taking in all the details: the perfectly tailored fit of his jeans, the strategically faded Airborne Toxic Event t-shirt that’s been French tucked oh-so-casually into his waistband, the whimsically striped socks, and the fashionably shaggy hair that falls into his eyes just so, softening the sharper angles of his face. Their gazes meet, and she swallows; his eyes are still as intense as ever, but somehow even more unnerving.

    A burst of furious envy erupts inside her. How dare you get this hot, Katara thinks. How utterly fucking dare you.
