When Mako starts dating Princess Ursa, the daughter of the Fire Lord; Wu helplessly stands by and watches as the man he loves gets swept away in a fairy tale romance. And when Wu enters into in a politically arranged betrothal with an Upper Ring noblewoman; obligations, friendship, and love are put to the test.
As Wu helps Mako fit in to Ursa's world, and Mako helps Wu with his complicated engagement, they each find themselves yearning for another life where they can be something more than friends to one another. They both have to decide whether to continue on with their duties, or risk it all and be honest with themselves—and each other.

Summary
"I've missed this," Wu murmurs against him, the words ghosting across Mako's skin. "Missed just being with you." He raises himself up onto one elbow, hovering over Mako and scanning his face like he wants to freeze the clock between one second and the next and commit every last detail to memory. One of his eyes shines like a jewel in the silvery light of the moon while his once carefully coiffed curls—made a ruin by Mako's roving hands—hang in a loose, shimmering wave over his forehead and cast the other into deep shadow.
It knocks the breath from Mako's lungs, and for a moment he can only stare back. In his mind's eye he watches every version of Wu he'd known and loved—and those he'd yet to meet—converge at a single fixed point above him, into a man not quite old but no longer young, and just as beautiful as he'd been the day he'd flounced his way into Mako's world like it belonged to him, too.
---
In which crimes against breakfast are uncovered, Mako regains some perspective, responsibilities are shirked, old faces appear in new places, and time plods on and on. Set roughly 35 years after the events of Ruins of the Empire.

Summary
Nearly a century after the last appearance of Sozin’s Comet, Fire Prince Zuko, thirteen years old and freshly burned and banished by his father, discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
When Admiral Zhao interferes with Zuko's plans to deliver his prisoner back to Royal Caldera City, to Zuko’s surprise, the young Avatar offers to help him and his uncle escape. Taking refuge from the Fire Navy in the abandoned Air Temples, Aang insists on searching for any remnants of his people that he can find, to Zuko’s chagrin. Along the way, however, the indoctrinated Fire Prince begins to learn the truth about the Air Nomads and the War, while the Dragon of the West is forced to face the sins of his warmongering past.
As the months go by, the two boys eventually form an unlikely friendship, and Zuko begins to experience feelings that he has never felt for anyone before. However, Zhao will not give up easily, and will do whatever it takes to capture the Avatar and his traitorous accomplices.

Summary
The thing about soulmates when you are a royal is that you don't get to keep them. Wu's mother's was shipped to the Outer Ring. His father's, never spoken of. His great aunt's was imprisoned if you believe the rumors. Wu believes the rumors. And when Wu becomes Prince Wu, heir to the Earth Throne, over night, his chances of finding and keeping his soulmate drop to zero. But despite that, when a soulmark appears on his arm the very evening of meeting his new, hot, firebending bodyguard, Wu can't feel anything but joy.
The thing about soulmarks when you have a job that frequently leaves you bruised to hell and back is that sometimes you don't notice them until days later and now you don't know who caused them to appear. And the thing about being Prince Wu's newest bodyguard is that Mako has met so many people in the last week that his soulmate could be half of Republic City. The other thing about being Prince Wu's newest bodyguard is that half of Mako doesn't want to think too hard about his soulmate might be because there is no way someone like him would get so lucky as to have the next Earth Monarch as a soulmate no matter how lofty Mako's taste in people runs.
