Summary
Ten years after the end of the Hundred Year War, the Fire Lord and the world's greatest healer keep ending up in the same cities — by coincidence, they've always told themselves. When a week in Ba Sing Se becomes something neither of them can explain away, they have to reckon with the possibility that the person they've been closest to for thirteen years is also the person they've been most carefully not looking at. A slow burn about two people on opposite sides of the same coin, and what happens when the thing you've made peace with stops staying peaceful.
Zuko has been down bad, Katara will catch up.

Summary
A brutal counteroffensive on the Day of Black Sun alters the trajectories of Zuko and Katara's fates, changing their lives forever.
Sprawling, long-form character study (mainly 3rd person, with 1st person flashbacks). Early chapters set the framework, but later chapters are some of my best writing.
Rated M (read tags). Work first published August 2022.

Summary
The avatar was never awakened. Instead, a resistance group from the two remaining kingdoms rise up against the Fire Nation and the so-called “Phoenix King” Ozai. Zuko, deposed and desperate to regain his honor in his family, proposes an idea: he will go undercover and burn them down from the inside. But something changes when he meets the leader of the resistance - the last waterbender of the Southern Water Tribe.

Summary
When Katara moves in with her brother and his two roommates, everything feels like it’s falling into place. She’s going to be starting at the school of her dreams, and she’s already making friendships that will last for years to come. There’s only one problem: one of her new roommates is maybe the most infuriating person she’s ever met. Zuko makes it clear that he doesn’t want to be her - or anybody’s - friend. But if there’s anything Katara’s good at, it’s not backing down from a challenge.

Summary
The dragon offered Katara a deal: protection for her family and tribe if she lived with it for a year and a day. And she said yes. Because what other way was there to save her people?
But there was more to the dragon than Katara bargined for.
An "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" retelling.
