    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

    He comes at night, on the eve of a storm that will last for seven years. She cannot know it then; only when the veil of perpetual blizzard seals the south from the rest of the world and she is a sea away in the belly of the empire will Katara understand her fate.

    “I need your help.”

    Summary

    Zuko’s face is perfect for him, all sharp angles and planed skin, and it’s almost vicious in its beauty, almost too pretty and angular, and she wonders if she were to trail her fingers along the edge of his jaw, would she cut them? If she were to caress his cheek, to press her lips just underneath his eyes, would she hurt herself?

    Katara's eyes drift down towards his lips, and sweat beads on them. She’s hypnotized by the way his lips pull and twist along with his face, as the muscles in his jaw clench. His lips look unfairly full, and she wonders what it would be like to press her hands against the blades of his cheekbones and bring his mouth close to hers.

    He is a study in contradictory terms, sharp lines and harsh angles that melt into soft skin and gentle touches; and Katara cannot think of a time when she will not be fascinated by him.

     

    or; katara and zuko can't stop noticing each other, at the worst time possible. it's getting to be annoying for the both of them.

    Summary

    “That counts as noise, my love.”

    “No! It wasn’t… I tried, I…”

    Jayce looks over the paper at him, one eyebrow raised. Then he looks back down and stops touching him.

    The emptiness is unbearable. Viktor nearly sobs.

    “Please…” he murmurs, barely audible. “I’ll do it right.”

    Jayce strokes him again, very gently.

    “I told you not to speak.”

    O: Viktor is desperate, and Jayce promises him an orgasm if he stays still and quiet on his lap while he reads through his reports. If he behaves, he’ll get what he wants. If not… there’ll be a (sweet and spicy) punishment.
