Summary
It's well known that Avatar Aang went missing 100 years ago, but when the Fire Nation goes knocking on the Southern Water Tribes door (With fireballs and death) no Avatar turns up and a woman get taken from her home. This action is the first of many that started Ozai's downfall from the throne.
Years later, Sokka and Katara are the main ones running the village-- Hakoda had left three years ago and had yet to return-- that is until Fire Lord Ozai decides he needs to find a way to keep Zuko compliant and find a backdoor into the Northern Water Tribe, and who better than a bride from their sister tribe? Katara needs to learn a new way of life being betrothed to Prince Zuko, teaching herself water bending, and keeping her family safe while in unknown territory. Sokka needs to find a way to rally together the Earth Kingdom and find his father to stop this war, and Zuko needs to figure out why some things in the palace aren't adding up, Ozai be damned.

Summary
Sokka had to stop taunting cute guys. It was so tempting with people like the Rose Petal from that tea shop, people who fumed at the smallest provocation, blushed at the smallest compliment. Sokka had annoyed him, he knew, and he actually felt guilty about it. He realized he could see… more in that man, realized aimless flirting wasn’t what he wanted.

Summary
Azula, former Princess of the Fire Nation, left the Palace three years ago in order to build up an alliance and take her father down, once and for all. But the world is changing - the Avatar's arrival is both a blessing and a curse, and with him comes a risk she might not be willing to take. Meanwhile, in a Nation more fragmented than ever, Zuko will do everything to cut off his weakness and folllow Ozai's orders - but he doesn't know if he can kill Azula.
---
“It’s always a pleasure to watch destiny unfold."
Azula sighed, “Destiny will not win a war, Uncle. This is the result of all out hard work.”
“Ah, but just as we cannot control the skies and seas, sometimes we cannot control the path our lives take.”
“Tell me, Uncle. Do the tides control the ship, or do I?”
Uncle laughed, “Point made. Lead on, my niece, but be wary of incoming storms.”
For a moment, the world was still, and something tense settled on her shoulders. But she shook it off.
She had the Avatar, and soon she’d have the North.

A lot has changed over the last 3 years after the peace treaty that ended the war between the 3 nations was signed. After the sudden death of Ozai and the loss of Ba Sing Se, the Fire Nation army fell. Prince Zuko was declared Fire Lord at just 17. The young heir, alongside the Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom rulers, managed an agreement of peace but not without obstacles.

She spent 2 years in recovery and is struggling to adapt, desperately trying to put the past behind her. With the support of her brother and Uncle, she makes the best effort to recover while still going through highs and lows and proving to the world that she is a different person. Learning to grow as a new Vizer for her brother, she finally forms better relationships both new and old.

Summary
"The ashes of a phoenix must fall, for when it does it grows back far stronger and more beautiful than it had ever been."
She wishes she could hear her grandmother singing those words just one more time, the end of her little bedtime story, right before sleep was due. A time during the war, a time where she could go home, a time before the the Prince. A time where she could see her again. Phoenix's we're so beautiful, Katara had once thought to herself as a child, just as beautiful as the princess the bird in the song had carried away.
But no one ever talks about where those ashes fall, or were the Princess was taken.

Summary
Mother taught her that the most colorful animals were often the most venomous ones. An useless knowledge for a Water Tribe child, one could say.
Katara remembered her mother’s words vividly years later, when she was a woman grown, nearing her nineteenth birthday.
Because when she lifted her gaze and looked into her fiance’s amber eyes, she finally understood.Kya had been right all along.
Alternatively: All is doomed when The Fire Lady realizes she's falling for her husband...
