“What’s going on?” Mai asked in a bored fashion, though her curiosity was quickly getting the best of her. What, in the name of the spirits, were these two doing?

“Oh, Mai!” Ty Lee turned her head, still holding a clearly agitated Suki’s hand. “Suki’s going into labour.”

“What? When?”

“Just after you left.”

Mai was completely flummoxed. How dare Suki inconvenience them by having that child now? “But the other warriors should be here by nightfall.” She peered down at Suki’s painfully distended stomach and grimaced. “Can’t you just hold it in?”

"I'll have the jasmine tea—and, um fruit tart special." A beat passes, and she chances a glance upwards before adding, "Um. Please."

Lee's face is blank as he says, woodenly—as if he's recited it a million times, "It'll be right up, miss."

He reaches over to take her menu, and Katara's brain-to-mouth-filter topples into itself.

"Katara." Confusion pools into the gold of his eyes. "Um. My name, I mean. It's Katara—not miss."

summary: Zuko and Katara, born into the Republic City timeline. AU, drabble series. — zuko ო katara.
excerpt:
Katara beams as she seats herself at a table near the windows. But her mind sifts elsewhere: towards the Avatar, waterbending practice, her brother and father, the Equalists, the threat of war, the Fire Nation—and so she barely registers the scarred waiter placing a glass of water on her table, not until he speaks:
"Hi." His voice is raspy, low. A little awkward, even. "My name is Lee, and I'll be taking your order."

“Katara, I need you to go.”

“No!”

“Katara—”

“I said NO!” she screamed, angry tears pooling at the corner of her eyes. “Just shut up and let me think!”

summary: She cannot forgive him. The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did.

link: She remembers him in Ba Sing Se, remembers the same patience, the empathy, the amber-gold, gentle eyes and the youngness in his voice. There is no jasmine-light or crystal touch, no crown, beggar-prince or warrior-tribe-daughter, only the pair of them—a boy and a girl sparring, a boy and a girl laughing, a boy and a girl sharing stories and lips and hands and something much more raw and deep, and she cannot lose than again, she isn't strong enough, for all her talk and all of her water she is not an ocean, she is not the sea.
