    Summary

    "Akai Kotou," Jian Li says, "means Solitary Red Island. It's the name Rangi gave to her lover's home. It's the name given to Kyoshi Island by the children of Fire."

    .

    When Aang, Sokka, and Katara arrive at Kyoshi Island, they're only looking for a place to rest for the night. They don't expect to find new allies, soul-deep connections, and a myriad of secrets.

    (Sometimes, Zuko forgets that Jian Li isn't his real name. But now it's time to start remembering.)

    Summary

    After the war, Katara struggles to breathe.

    She’s always known who she is and what her duty was - now she hasn’t got a clue. She didn't realize that learning to live, after just surviving for so long, would be this hard.

    OR: Katara falls in love with Zuko, but first she learns to love herself.

    OR: Katara travels the world, Zuko supports a political revolution, Aang faces his trauma, Toph accepts help from her friends, Suki inspires other women, Sokka leads, and everyone heals.

    Summary

    Making choices after the war was supposed to be the easy part. Her future decided and neatly packaged based on what everyone else wanted for her, what she should want, too.

    But Katara’s destiny had a funny way of being exactly what she wanted to run from.

    (As if anyone needed another Zutara post-finale slow burn after 15 years.)

    Summary

    “I need to go to Ba Sing Se.” Her determination was followed by a heavy silence of contemplation from Zuko and Iroh as they exchanged indecipherable looks with one another, Katara felt the need to elaborate. “I don’t… know how to get there.”

    After the disaster of a showdown with Azula, Katara is separated from her friends and brother, stranded alongside none other than the Fire Prince Zuko and his uncle in the middle of nowhere. Left with little choice, she reluctantly agrees to an alliance of convenience proposed by Iroh; they’ll travel to Ba Sing Se together—giving Katara the opportunity to search for her friends, while they start anew as civilians in the city. Now, with old enemies turned allies by her side, she must make her way to the Impenetrable City— where she knows the Gaang will ultimately arrive.

    Building a life for herself at Ba Sing Se is hard enough, being fake-married to Zuko is infinitely harder.

    In which,

    Katara’s devastating tea-pouring skills might just guarantee her the esteemed position of Fire Lady.
