"Hydrogen can form compounds with most elements..."
Katara found herself making connections with nearly everyone, seeking hope in the aftermath of war. This included many people who were once her enemies. This included a broken girl.
She felt sorry for Azula almost immediately, not able to stay furious with the princess after watching her destruction. Still, it took a month before she felt safe enough to visit, three more before she would let the other girl desperately grip her hand.
Now, a year later, she only wanted to help the firebender feel better. She told herself that was the reason she was doing this.
Azula's hands were shaky and careful, her eyes squinted in concentration as she pulled Katara's shirt down her shoulders. It was hard to believe that this was the same girl who had tried to kill her during Sozin's Comet, now lightly skimming her fingers everywhere as if to memorize every small curve. Her kisses were bitter but earnest, and the waterbender wondered if she was the only one who even gave the poor girl human contact at all.
She didn't really know what exactly they were doing, what it all meant. But she learned that she would bond with just about anyone, provided they pulled hard enough.
