Summary
“Can you stay?” There’s a beat of silence before I hear him walk to the other side of the bed and feel his weight on the mattress.
“Always.”
This isn’t the first time I’ve asked Peeta to stay in my bed, but it has been a few nights since then. Ever since Effie commented on our sleeping habits, I’ve tried not to ask again. But I can’t deny how well rested I feel every time I wake up in his arms. It’s like his presence keeps my nightmares away. And I know I do the same for him. It’s a small reprieve from the living nightmare this victory tour is. And I need all the reprieves I can get.
or
somewhere in the middle of catching fire, Katniss has a nightmare, and Peeta is there, because he always will be.

Summary
“What were you saying?”
His golden eyes are warm and open, inviting her to be honest. To lay it all out, here and now, confess the feelings that have been swirling in her head for the last few days (or weeks, if she’s being honest).
'I never got the chance to thank you for saving my life. Nobody’s ever jumped in front of lightning for me before. You could’ve died, and it made me realize just how much I care about you. The world needs you, I know, but so do I.'
Instead, she buries those words and finds other ones. Easier ones.
(or, it takes Katara 6 years to be honest with Zuko.)

Summary
Katara and Zuko's mission on board The Southern Raiders goes badly wrong, and they are captured and imprisoned in the unforgiving hull of the ship.
Katara now finds herself locked in a small room with a boy that she refuses to trust, and nine years worth of trauma and guilt swimming in her mind. She is resolute in her hostility towards Zuko, but as the horrors of their captivity unfold, an undeniable bond is formed in the quiet moments between their captor's torments.
When they find themselves safely back with their friends on Ember Island, they are both sporting deep scars – old and new, seen and unseen. Katara struggles to reconcile all the pieces of herself and figure out who she truly is. And Zuko continues to battle with his past guilt, and the new guilt that arises from his growing feelings towards Katara.
As their bond deepens – it may be the lifeline they both so desperately need to pull them from the dark waters of their past.

Summary
“Roads were made for journeys, not destinations.” ― Confucius
One moment changes the course of history. Katara and Zuko are imprisoned by the Fire Nation Army during the Day of Black Sun, and when they escape, they find themselves adrift in the Fire Nation with no one to rely on but each other. With only six weeks before Sozin’s Comet arrives and four nations to cross, the pair must track down Katara’s allies, save the world—and learn to trust each other.
Canon divergent from Part 2 of 'Day of Black Sun.'
