"Air is the element of freedom." An airbender who gets tangled up with a certain banished prince.

A Zuko X Reader story. As always, I wrote this for myself but you can read it, too, if you'd like. Y/N was an air bender, she was tasked with watching over the avatar as a punishment for something that she had done; something that the air nomads frowned upon her for. When she discovered what had become of her people, she was furious- but not at the Fire Nation, she was furious at Aang, because Aang was supposed to protect them, and he didn't. But was it Aang that she was really angry at?

As thunder clashes and waves crash against his ship, Zuko and his Uncle Iroh discover a mysterious girl discovered adrift in the treacherous waters, her life hanging by a thread. As they pull her limp body from the sea, Zuko gasped as he recognised the familiar face of a lost friend-Saria. But as Zuko's desperate search for a pulse yields nothing, he resigns himself to the tragic truth: Saria is dead. Yet, against all odds, she clings to life. What unseen force has spared her from the icy grip of death? With questions swirling like the storm-tossed sea, Zuko is drawn into a mystery that will unravel the very fabric of his reality. The journey ahead is fraught with danger and discovery, but one thing remains certain - Saria's story is far from over. <> Zuko ATLA fanfic

This book contains vignettes of Nava and her life with Zuko and the Gaang. Read my other story Fire in Your Eyes if you haven't already, otherwise some of this won't make sense!
