Summary
Sun and moon meeting, she recalls from the poem, lovers brushing past, passed, paths—
Master Katara leans closer, standing on tiptoes, whispers something into the Fire Lord’s ears. Fire Lord Zuko grins, wide and sweet like a crescent moon. Shula watches a spring blossom softly land between them, like a nudge from the spirits, an answer, a call—like an inevitable, breathing thing, already sewn into the crevasses of their souls, already tied into the beats of their pulse.
or: all the times people had mistaken Zuko and Katara for a couple, and the one time for a silver of truth

Summary
Katara and Zuko's mission on board The Southern Raiders goes badly wrong, and they are captured and imprisoned in the unforgiving hull of the ship.
Katara now finds herself locked in a small room with a boy that she refuses to trust, and nine years worth of trauma and guilt swimming in her mind. She is resolute in her hostility towards Zuko, but as the horrors of their captivity unfold, an undeniable bond is formed in the quiet moments between their captor's torments.
When they find themselves safely back with their friends on Ember Island, they are both sporting deep scars – old and new, seen and unseen. Katara struggles to reconcile all the pieces of herself and figure out who she truly is. And Zuko continues to battle with his past guilt, and the new guilt that arises from his growing feelings towards Katara.
As their bond deepens – it may be the lifeline they both so desperately need to pull them from the dark waters of their past.

Summary
Katara hates him. She hates him and still she cannot stop thinking about the way Zuko's heated lips had felt on hers in that rushed, hurried tryst – pressed into a tight, dark alcove of the Western Air Temple.
It has been two days since they’d played that stupid game of hide and seek where she'd found herself sharing a cramped hiding spot with Zuko. And the smug, knowing glances he throws her way are driving her crazy.
So she formulates a plan to get her own back on him. Little does she know that she will unwittingly set into motion a series of games that will drive them both to the edge of insanity.

Summary
A Soul Mark could be left for any kind of love—familial, friendly, romantic, pure, fantastical. Each color represented a different bond between the people that touched skin-to-skin. The colors stayed the same until the death of that person. Then, the Soul Mark would turn grey.
Katara had never seen someone without Soul Marks.
But Zuko’s skin didn’t have colors—it only had scars.
