Between Flame & Tide | (Zutara)

After the war, Zuko is expected to lead a nation that he isn't sure he belongs in.
Everything changes when Azula breaks free, forcing him to confront a threat he thought he had already survived.

Zuko is left trying to hold together a nation, a past he can't run from, and feelings he can't completely understand.
The Gaang stays to help--but not everything is as simple as it used to be. Old wounds resurface, tensions rise, and relationships shift.

Especially with Katara.

Because some words are better left unsaid--
some flames don't go out,
no matter how far the tide pulls away.
