    Summary

    She makes one last adjustment of the ornate collar, then looks up at him and smiles. “You look good, Fire Lord.”

    He huffs. “Don’t call me that.”

    “Why not? That’s what you are, isn’t it? What you’re going to be?” 

    “Not to you.” The look in his eyes stops her in her tracks and settles somewhere deep inside her. “Never to you.”

    Summary

    He lets out a small groan and she turns to see him slowly sitting up and rubbing at his eyes trying to rid them of sleep.

    She turns to him and offers a small smile, spatula in hand. ‘Morning.’

    JJ blinks at her a couple times, his hand comes up to run through his already tousled hair, his eyes focus onto her and Kie can’t quite figure out what makes his eyes slightly widen and his mouth fall when they do.

    ‘Holy shit,’ he breathes out.

    Her first thought is that he sounds shocked, the next is crap, did he not remember last night? He hadn’t seemed drunk, but she can’t be sure. Maybe she’s just created an insanely awkward situation where he hasn’t seen her in two years and all of a sudden he wakes up and she’s in his kitchen making breakfast.

    ‘You really are pregnant,’ he continues.

    ***
    After finding out she’s pregnant, for reasons even she doesn’t quite understand herself, Kie goes to JJ. Throughout the months of her pregnancy her and JJ fall into comfortable and entirely platonic domesticity that will in no way result in them falling in love.

    Summary

    ‘’JJ?’’ Kiara asked as her arm went around his neck, her fingers tangled in the messy hair at his nape. ‘’Do you like me?’’

    And Kiara couldn’t deny she felt awfully juvenile asking him so, but she also figured it was worth it when he broke the kiss to stare deep into her brown eyes and say, ‘’Course,’’ he traced a finger along her jaw, ‘’The most. Always.’’

    Summary

    Since she was little, Chief Hakoda had filled Katara's mind with stories of far flung places. He often brought her months old newspapers from cities and ports, far livelier and progressive than her own small village. Katara had lived for these yellowed, outdated snippets from the outside world. However, the more she read, the more she realized how isolated her Tribe was - how isolated she was. Over and over, Katara pleaded for her dad to take her with him - to see the cities in the newspapers. Her father promised he would take her on a trip when she turned eighteen,

    Yet, her eighteenth birthday came and went - along with many excuses. 

    So now, she was a twenty-four year old woman with responsibilities piling up and a family keen to get her married. 

    And she never left the South Pole.

    --

    Katara's journeys around the world, picks up an unexpected travel companion, and learns her grandmother's story.
