    Summary

    Set in the uncertain days after the invasion of the Fire Nation, the world stands on the edge of change – but not all battles have been won, and not all wounds have healed. Zuko, torn between duty and conscience, has finally stepped out of his father’s shadow, yet the weight of his choices still burns within him. Katara, burdened by grief and mistrust, finds her convictions tested when their paths unexpectedly intertwine.

    As they navigate the delicate balance between duty and desire, their bond deepens into something neither expected – something tested by the secrets they keep. Even in a time of rebuilding, some masks are not so easily removed. When a new threat rises from the ruins of the old world, Team Avatar must reunite once more – but the real question remains: can Zuko and Katara’s growing connection survive the truth behind the mask that still divides them?

    Summary

    A moment in time, a lingering touch, a spark…

    ***

    Katara deals with the fallout of the confrontation with the man who killed her mother years before, but she's not alone. Zuko, her former enemy, is by her side.

    Summary

    Edward Elric, the man who only did what he wanted to do by following his heart. Edward Elric, who promised her big things and achieved even greater ones. Edward Elric, who solved everyone's problems and asked nothing for himself. Edward Elric who could save every single soul in this country but felt like he could not handle holding her heart. That Edward Elric.

    Welcome to the deep dive into the two years it took Ed to realize that Winry was his other half.

    Or,

    Two teenagers who are in denial about their feelings have a slow burn relationship where it's mostly fluff, lots of yearning, and a series of missed chances. Some humor may apply.

    Summary

    [Cross-posting from ff dot net!] There's a lot to process when Ed and Al finally come home. Named after the Courtney Barnett/Kurt Vile song, this is a breakfast buffet of quick & delicious two-year-gap stories that will eventually take us all the way to seeing Ed off at the station. Featuring automail shop talk, physiotherapy hell, dates gone wrong, career moves, crime-fightin', unexpectedly fancy dinner parties and emotionally significant acts of interior design. Manga-verse, and as aggressively canon-compliant as possible, with a lot of focus on Ed, Al and Winry figuring out how to fit knowing the truth about the Amestrian state into their new lives. See also: being normal, having hobbies, working, interacting with the neighbour kids, unraveling unexpected family secrets, learning new recipes and yes, coping with the longterm impacts of trauma.

    There WILL be a sequel (with higher rating) and a companion piece in the same continuity, but this fic will be solidly T For Teen.
