A century of war has finally come to an end, but peace proves far more fragile than victory. To unite a fractured world, Fire Lord Zuko agrees to a political marriage with Hasu—the last surviving chief of the fallen Mountain Clan and a childhood friend he barely remembers. Bound by duty, haunted by loss, and surrounded by shifting alliances, two strangers must decide whether peace can be forged through trust... or whether the ashes of war still burn too deeply.

The Red Silk Binding: ATLA AU

𝓴𝓲𝓻𝓫𝔂 (。•ᴗ•。)

You were chosen as the treaty bride, given to end a war with the blood of your own people still wet on your hands, promised to the cursed, burned son of the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Zuko. You swore on that blood you would never love your arranged husband. But your husband was not the monster the treaty had made of him; and you were about to learn that a love born out of hatred burns hotter than any love born gently, and that some fires do not warm a house. They take it down to the ground first.

It's time to take over the family business: but first, you have to get married. Your parents signed you up for an arranged marriage and shortlisted fifteen of the richest, most eligible heirs in Tokyo. The contracts are already drafted. All you have to do is pick one. So you decide to torch it. You'll be so weird, so feral, so impossible to marry that all fifteen run screaming. It backfires catastrophically.

Something More

alex.2006

You and Satoru Gojo have been friends for six months—close enough for late-night texts, spontaneous plans, unnecessary visits, and the kind of familiarity neither of you quite knows how to explain. Somewhere along the way, friendship stopped feeling like enough. Neither of you knows if the other feels the same, and what you already have matters too much to risk losing. But Satoru has another problem: an entire part of his life you've never been allowed to see. Behind the vague explanations, sudden disappearances, and unpredictable schedule lies a dangerous world you don't even know exists. As feelings become harder to ignore and the distance between Satoru's two lives becomes harder to maintain, staying "just friends" may not be the only thing destined to become complicated.
