When Fire Lord Zuko arrives in the Northern Water Tribe under the guise of diplomacy, you never expect his true purpose: securing your hand in marriage through a private arrangement with your father.

But beneath icy distrust and royal obligation, an unexpected bond begins to burn.
In which, Fire Lord Zuko grants a very rare request, and his newest royal guard quietly becomes the one person capable of slipping past the walls around his heart.
Zuko is officially on his own. He left, letting his Uncle Iroh not have to deal with his irresponsibility any longer. He hoped away on an ostrich horse onto the open land of the Earth Kingdom. Now heās left with his own thoughts. His own thoughts on his heavy generational trauma , his mother, his father, his sister, why heās chasing the Avatar, his childhood, his scar, the war, and his own isolation. All he can do now is think. All he can do is process what he has done and what others have done to him that got him to this place. This is him venturing, attempting to find himself on his own.
Fire Lord Zuko travels to the Northern Water Tribe for an arranged marriage meant to help secure peace after the war. There, he meets Y/n, the younger sister of Princess Yue.
Raised in the Northern Water Tribe, Y/N was taught to become a healer, but secretly trained in every form of waterbending. Now travelling through the war-torn world, she joins the Avatarās group.
