THE SILENCE BETWEEN FLAMES In the Fire Nation palace, silence is survival. Nari has mastered it. A servant. A shadow. A girl no one looks at twice. She moves through the halls unnoticed, tending to the most dangerous man in the world without ever truly being seen. Her place is clear. Her purpose is simple. Serve. Stay quiet. Don't exist beyond what is required. But Nari has never been ordinary. The spirits whisper to her. Follow her. Watch through her. And they have never been wrong before. When strange disturbances begin to creep through the Fire Nation-shadows that don't belong, voices that linger too long-Nari finds herself pulled into something she was never meant to touch. Something ancient. Something wrong. And somehow... it's tied to him. Zuko, the Fire Lord who carries a nation on his back and a past he cannot outrun, begins to notice the one person who was never meant to be noticed. She watches him. He starts watching back. What begins as quiet proximity turns into something far more dangerous-unspoken tension, shifting power, and a connection neither of them understands. Because in a palace built on control, in a world struggling to find balance- Some things aren't meant to stay silent. And some flames... don't burn alone.

"In a world rebuilt after war, the Fire Nation thrives in like an inferno. When a mysterious dancer arrives at the palace, beautiful, calculated, and impossible to ignore. She becomes the center of a quiet storm no one admits is forming. Fire Lord Zuko is not blind to danger. He has lived too long in it. But there is something about her he cannot categorize and only watch. And in a court where every smile is a strategy and every bow is a choice, desire can be just as deadly as betrayal. Some flames warm. Some flames burn. And some are never meant to be touched at all."

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when The Fire Nation attacked. Only The Avatar, master of all four elements can stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. The next Avatar was to be born an Air Nomad, so The Firelord wiped out The Air Nations. Though hope has left the lives of many, I still believe that one day, he'll come back and end this war... I can feel his breath beating down on my cheek. "I am Prince of the Fire Nation, and you will respect me!" "I'll respect you when you grow your other eyebrow." I challenge. You're going to get yourself killed Kimi, shutup! Ok, maybe that was a little bit to far. I think I just saw steam come out of his nose, and he still hasn't blinked... Keep reading to know more >;) I DO NOT own any of the Avatar characters, but this is just my spin on Zuko's adventures, and what the story would be like if an extra member were added!

In a city where loyalty is currency and peace is always negotiable, one woman becomes the face of a nation she's never been allowed to claim. Lynn has spent her life in the gray zones of empire-an Earth Kingdom refugee raised in a Fire Nation colony, too foreign for one world, too familiar for the other. When a diplomatic marriage contract ties her fate to Fire Lord Zuko, what starts as a political performance threatens to expose everything they both fear: their doubts, their hopes, and their inconvenient longing for something real. But empires don't change for love-and neither do their ghosts. As Yu Dao becomes the powder keg of a fragile peace, Lynn must decide whether she'll play the role she's been handed... or rewrite the story entirely. A sweeping political romance set in the aftermath of war, The Cinderella Contract is about identity, legacy, and love forged in fire.

In the heart of the Si Wong Desert, survival isn't taught-it's inherited. Y/N, known as the Daughter of the Dunes, is the future chief of her tribe. Raised to lead, feared for her mastery of sandbending, and bound by expectations she never chose, her life has always followed one rule: Protect the desert. Obey your destiny. Never stray. But when a group of reckless outsiders crosses into her territory-bringing chaos, noise... and a stolen sky bison-Y/N breaks that rule. Tracking the same thieves for her tribe, she intercepts them in the middle of the desert... only to find herself face-to-face with someone just as stubborn, just as proud- The son of a chief. Sokka. What starts as rivalry quickly turns into an uneasy alliance as they chase the same enemy across unforgiving sands. But the desert is full of illusions-and not all of them are made of heat and dust. As Y/N's rare ability to bend mirages begins to blur the line between truth and deception, she's forced to confront something far more dangerous than any enemy: Who she is outside of the title she was born into. And Sokka? He might be the only one who sees her-not as a future chief, not as a weapon of the desert... ...but as someone allowed to choose her own path. Between shifting dunes, hidden enemies, and a bond neither of them expected, Y/N must decide: Will she return to the life chosen for her... -or risk everything for one she chooses herself?

Book One of the Mismatched series. 'There's all kinds of people and factions trying to do what they think is right but...it's all one war, Sokka.' It was a world straight from the depths of hell. The Fire Nation had a ruthless history and they wouldn't stop until the entire world fell under their tyranny. So, it isn't a surprise to find that he refuses to trust a girl from the opposite side. Nor does it help that despite her country's oppression, her pride towards her nation makes it difficult for him to accept her. They hate each other and butt heads all the time, but do they really hate each other? Slow burn!!! Status: Completed! Second book uploaded and ongoing.

Book two of the Mismatched series. 'That one look...that one god forbidden look would change his entire life. For better or for worse, no one knew.' It was a world straight from the depths of hell. The Fire Nation had a ruthless history and they wouldn't stop until the entire world fell under their tyranny. The princess believed that in order to protect everyone she finally realised she loved, she would have to runaway once again. But this time, it wasn't at the cost of her comfort, but rather her heart. Slow burn!! Status: Ongoing with regular updates! I highly reccomend you read the first part; One War, before starting this one.

Broken, filled with loss, pain and anger, Iris never learned how she survived 100 years, only to wake up 5 years before Aang, her little brother's return. She found asylum in the Yu Dao Assassination Academy before she was assigned to assassinate the Fire Nation's royal family. That desperate mission only resulted in failure and countless lives lost. She was imprisoned and tortured, but escaped to the Southern Water Tribe, assigned to protect it as its men marched off to war. Who knew she'd meet the Fire Lord's firstborn son and her long gone brother on a single day? Iris is once again taken prisoner, on Prince Zuko's ship. Her years of hunting and being hunted are over. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: Yes, this is the rewritten version. There'll be extra scenes, extra angst, more mature/explicit themes, and def smut. You're welcome if only you're 18+.
