Where The Fire Finds Us (Zuko x OC)

Prince Zuko has spent three years chasing the Avatar.

Lieutenant Kaida has spent six years trying to forget him.

Once, they were inseparable-two children raised beneath the shadow of the Fire Nation palace, bound by friendship, loyalty, and feelings neither of them had been old enough to understand.

Then Kaida was sent away.

Zuko was banished.

And neither of them was given a choice.

Now eighteen, Kaida has built a life for herself within the Fire Nation military. She's disciplined, powerful, and determined to become exactly what her nation expects of her.

Until an unfamiliar ship arrives at her post.

Until she sees the scar.

Until Prince Zuko walks back into her life.

Thrown together once more, Kaida joins Zuko's hunt for the Avatar, certain of where her loyalties lie.

But the farther they travel from home, the harder those loyalties become to understand.

Because the war Kaida was raised to believe in isn't quite the war she begins to see.

The prince she remembers isn't the boy who returned to her.

And some bonds refuse to stay buried-no matter how much fire stands between them.

A story of exile, loyalty, war, first love, and finding your way back to the person you never truly left behind.
