    Summary

    Bumi is one hundred and twelve years old and still around and kicking. Kyoshi grew up to be two hundred and thirty.
    It's perfectly reasonable to assume long life is a trait exhibited by more than just those who are good.

     

    “Why the fuck did no one tell me we were having a cuddle pile?”
    Katara answers before Suki has the chance.
    “It wasn’t exactly planned, Toph.”

     

    Or: Aang meets one of the firebenders who took part in the original Air Nomad genocide, and Suki deals with the aftermath.

    Summary

    There are many ways for this story to start. There are many ways for it to end, too, though we will try not too linger too much on them. We will look away and practice a smile on the mirror, close our eyes and focus on things when they were swift and beautiful and bright, when a summer’s day was always warm, and the good times were always good, and there was nothing to forgive. We will look at the boy in the iceberg, and the warriors, and the children, and the prince, and we will always be discovering magic for the first time.

    Here is a well-known secret: everything ends, and that’s always sad.

    Here is a not so well-known fact: everything begins again, and that’s always happy.

     

    Or, there are many ways this story begins and ends. It depends on who you ask.

    Summary

    Zuko would watch the water at night, the way the moon cast flashes in the owl-light, and squint his eyes to try and see what they talked about. He would think about Mother. So many days out at sea, but the water never told him. It sealed its blue lips after swallowing her, licked his ankles like a dog. He won’t lie and say that the ocean begged for forgiveness; even now, it still gleams unchanged in the sun. Some things are so big they take and take and remain exactly the same size.

    He’s scared Azula won’t come home. He’s tired of people leaving and never coming home.

    "Zuko," Aang says. "It's okay to be this scared."

    Or, there is home, those who come and go, those who stay, and those who are still on their way back.
