    Summary

    Aang presses a kiss to her knuckles, one at a time, while he stares at her, “You’re kind of a miracle, you know that?”

    She pulls her hands back with a flustered laugh, reaching for the bowl to steady herself, “Aang.”

    “I’m serious!” he leans forward on the bed, his weight shifting the mattress, and the full focus of those grey eyes pins her in place, “No one else can do what you do, not this quickly—it’s beautiful to watch. You’re beautiful to watch.”

    Once his words register in her mind, her fingers fumble the bowl. Water sloshes over the rim, splashing across the wooden floor in a silver arc.

    A short, embarrassed scoff from her fills the air as her whole face ignites with a blush.

    Aang’s heartfelt praise after a council meeting flusters Katara in a way he’s never noticed before. Later that night, at her apartment, he puts his discovery to use, showing her exactly how much he loves watching her fall apart.

    Summary

    Katara has learned to ignore the compliments and the subtle insults alike.

    Instead, she decides to lift her chin and love him with such ferocious certainty that the voices become static. She buries the sharp little seeds they plant deep in her chest, waters them with silence, and tells herself nothing is there. 

    But the seeds continue to sprout in the dark.

    Or: A gala, a woman's touch, a splash of waterbent wine. That should have been the end of it. But then, the letters and gifts begin.

    Summary

    Before Katara knew it, Aang was a foot taller than her, his voice had settled into a melodic baritone, and his frame had gone from willowy and lean to hardened muscle and quiet strength.

    The cadence of their relationship changed.

    OR

    Katara and Aang grow up, and everyone has to deal with the consequences.

    Summary

    “Maybe someday you and Katara will hold a celebration of your own,” Hakoda added, the remark almost casual. It tilted the ground beneath Aang’s feet, and he stumbled awkwardly across the paving stones.

    “Er, I mean, I’m sure—”

    Hakoda laughed and slapped him on the back. “No rush, of course, you are both still very young. Plenty of time for weddings later.”

    Aang felt rather faint as he nodded. “Right of course…laterweddings.”

    OR

    Aang wants to propose to Katara and turns to his friends for advice. It's all predictably terrible.

    Summary

    “Hey, Aang?” Katara murmurs after a while. “What would you do if I … if I told you I wanted you?”

    He might actually die tonight, flushing red and head-over-heels, choking-on-his-own-tongue stupid. “Wanted me how?” He coughs. “Like, wanted me to do something?”

    “Yeah, something like that.” She leans in gently. “Could I kiss you?”

    As the Avatar, Aang spends a lot of time all over the world, but he loves the Southern Water Tribe best. There are a few reasons.

    Okay, one reason.

    Okay, maybe just one girl.
