Summary
A meta (aka an authorial rant) about Flashpoint, my ongoing Zutara fic in this series, for those readers who are interested in worldbuilding, sociocultural breakdowns of my versions of the four nations, and the logic and reasoning behind some of my writing choices. Also includes a pronunciation guide and will (eventually) include a polished version of my timeline...and maybe I'll put some of my diagrams in here too.

Summary
Nearly a year into her role as the Southern Water Tribe’s ambassador, Katara has accomplished what her counterpart from the North could not: securing reparations from the Fire Nation court. But when sabotage, scandal, and colonial unrest threaten the fragile peace of a post-war world, she finds herself pulled deeper and deeper into the viper’s nest of Fire Nation politics…and closer to its ruler. As rumors swirl and tempers flare between the Ambassador and the Fire Lord, Katara finds a helping hand, and unexpected solace, in the brother of one of her students. In a nation built on blood and lies, she must decide: how far is she willing to go to protect those who cannot protect themselves…and what will it cost her?
This is the first act of a five-act story. Act I is complete and comes to, what I consider to be, a narratively satisfying conclusion. I will be posting the remaining chapters of Act I every day during Zutara Month 2025.
