*Slow Burn Zutara* Zuko found the Avatar before Katara and Sokka. Zuko and Katara's lives shift, leaving one with flimsy honor and the other with faltering hope. Without the avatar, everyone thought the world would end during Sozin's comet. It didn't. Its been four years since Zuko has captured the avatar and three years since Zuko's uncle disappeared during a suspiciously uneventful Sozin's comet. Katara has been sent to the palace as a servant to spy on the royal family. What she witnesses are betrayal, tension, and an increasingly confused Zuko. Will Katara be able to gain information that will save her tribe? Will Zuko be able to move past the night of Sozin's comet? The two go on an emotional and physical journey to find out. The growing feelings between the two make their journeys all the more complicated.
