Summary
Her voice is a lullaby. A storm. Something that terrifies Zuko and astounds him and calms him. Both the cut and the balm, the song of his heart is as much of a tragedy as it is a triumph. So beautiful it’s terrible.
Now a fugitive of his own nation, Zuko will spend the rest of his days avoiding capture on the sea. He falls in love with a siren and her song, forever searching for her in the temperamental ocean that he now calls home.
(Pirate and siren AU. Angst and romance. Bittersweet ending.)

Summary
'The Fire Prince is older. You can see it in the calmness of his expression, the relaxed carriage of his shoulders. He is smiling at her. She's never seen the Fire Lord's son smile.' While lost in the Foggy Swamp, searching for her brother and her Avatar, Katara is haunted by visions of the Fire Nation's disgraced prince. Visions of peace after war, visions of honour and secrets...

Summary
‘I’m Katara, by the way. 12B.’
‘Zuko. 12A.’
‘You don’t say much.’
He shrugs. No, he doesn’t. Not anymore. He has less than nothing of value to say, why bother wasting anyone’s time with it?
-
Zuko has made some life shattering mistakes. Recently sober for the first time since he dropped out of high school, he finally has a chance to make something of this life— if he can just choose to live it. Katara has never felt more alone. She’s weeks away from receiving her degree, already crafting her cover letter for the job she’s been working towards for five years… but life feels empty without her friends and family.
Lonely, and with a shared balcony and interest in tea and gardening, they help carry each other’s burdens and learn something along the way.

Summary
"She takes his hand, turns it palm up and drops the ankh charm there. ‘When a symbol calls to you, you should never ignore it. There are forces in this world stronger than thoughts; you would be wise to let them guide you from time to time.’
That makes him furrow his brow. ‘Forces? You mean like magic?’
‘Maybe.’
‘I don’t believe in magic.’
‘I know.’ She winks at him and turns back to the oven, fishing a tea towel from her apron pocket. With the ease of one who has done so a thousand times before, she slides a tray of golden brown sourdough free and sets it on the cooling shelf.
No, he doesn’t believe in magic, but there is something about her… And that, he believes in."
-
Running his uncle's bakery is stranger than Zuko could have expected, especially when the woman he hires to share the workload speaks in a long dead language, conflates science and magic, and knows more about him than she has any right to.

Summary
"The Blue Spirit begins appearing in proximity to rumours of the Painted Lady. She cleans a polluted well and the sickness it caused in a tiny coastal town. The very same night, a crate of rice and cured meat wrapped in flame embossed bamboo appears by the well. Valleys of sword strokes and kisses of ash adorn the rough pine crate.
It is said, the Blue Spirit is hunting the Painted Lady. Or that he’s under her spell.
In a way, both are true."
