    Summary

    Nothing has been untouched; starvation, exploitation, and death at the hands of the Fire Nation. As the Southern Water Tribe’s benders are hunted to extinction, one is born beneath a full moon. Her first cries echo through the night: a waterbender.
    The raid came fast—brutal, merciless. But Katara was spared. Hidden away in the Fire Nation palace, growing up in the shadow of her enemies. Forced to assimilate for survival, she clung to the only remnants of home, her mother’s necklace… and the light in a lonely boy’s golden eyes.
    Zuko. The prince who made her laugh when nothing else could.
    The Avatar returned, the war’s tides shifted, and Katara seized her chance to escape.
    Joining Aang, she fights for the world’s freedom—while battling the ghosts of her past, including the boy who never wrote, the boy who stood on the wrong side when it mattered most.
    He comes seeking redemption. And though she’s the only one who hasn’t forgiven him, those long-buried feelings—have never truly left her.
    In the quiet moments between battles, they begin to surface again, soft and smoldering. And slowly, painfully, their hearts begin to remember what they once were… and thoughts of what they might become.

    Summary

    “Zuko told Iroh that he had blacked out the moment that hand touched his face but he didn’t. He just couldn’t bear the haunted look in his uncles eyes everytime he looked at his face. So he didn’t tell him, didn’t tell anyone,not a single soul. Didn’t tell them how he begged for rescue, didn’t tell them how he felt it all, didn’t tell them how he still feels it on bad days,didn’t tell them he saw Azula smile as he was being dragged of…”

    ———

    Zuko isn’t bad, he simply does as he’s told, unfortunately he’s been told to do bad things

    Summary

    "So you take the knife to the wall instead. You carve and carve until a coin of light appears and you get to look in, at last, on happiness. The eye staring back from the other side—waiting." — Ocean Vuong, Torso of Air

    ***

    When Mai gets a call in the dead of the night from Zuko's uncle about how Zuko hasn't come home since the end of the school day and their breakup, her mind doesn't automatically assume kidnapping. She doesn't think anyone could be capable of making Zuko disappear.

    But then she finds Zuko's shoe hidden in a dirty curb, and she wishes for once that she was wrong.

    Summary

    The heat was unbearable, sweat ran down Zuko's face and under his mask. His scar hurt, as it always did when he was near fire.

    Suddenly, a scream rang out. High-pitched, panicked, desperate. A life, somewhere in there, in danger.

    Zuko turned his head. "There's someone else in there! We have to do something!" he shouted over the roar of the flames.

    His colleague Jet grabbed him by the arm. "Zuko, it's too late! We can't go back in there—the smoke will kill us!".

    "How can you say that?!" he snapped angry.

    Jet pointed at the inferno, his eyes wide: "Look at the fire! If you go in there, you'll never come out!".

    Zuko breathed heavily but his gaze was determined. "Then so be it. I'm going."

    "Zuko, NO!" several voices shouted at once as he started to run.

    The flames lashed out at him like a living monster. The heat pressed against his skin. This is madness. But there's someone in there. And if he gives up now, they'll die.

    Summary

    This story is an alternate continuation of my completed work We Can’t Choose Us.
    Chapters 1–16 are exactly the same as in that version, so if you’ve already read them, you can start right here.
    But if you’re new to the story, I recommend starting from the beginning for the full emotional context.
    📖 You can read Chapters 1–16 here:
    https://ao3-rd-3.onrender.com/works/62580298/chapters/160180546

    In this version, I changed one decision, and it led to a very different ending.
    Because so many of you asked for it. Because so many of you believed they deserved more.
