    Summary

    Overall, she’s had a wonderful experience so far; full of light, learning, and friendship. Katara is positive she wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world, especially because of how it brought Aang into her life. But still—

    She whirls, too fast, and a gate catches the curve of her shoulder blade. Katara trips over her own foot, crying out in pain, and falls off of the platform, landing solidly onto her back with an oomph!

    “Ow,” she whines, unwittingly, as Aang dashes to her in a panic.

    It’d be nice to be good at this— actual airbending.

    Avatar Katara is struggling with the Airbending gates. Aang comes up with a plan to help her.

    Summary

    Aang grits his teeth at his cowardice and pushes his foot forward, ignoring the frantic drumming of his heart. He tells himself that he has no reason to be nervous, that he’s good at this. At bending. At people. He tells himself that he will have fun here, that he will make himself. That he will ride penguins, and laugh, and study, and be diligent, and accept the albatross around his neck. He tells himself that—

    Nothing.

    He steps around Hakoda, putting on his brave face, and looks down at her— Katara— and feels everything solid in him melt.

    Summary

    The thought occurs to her randomly, while she’s at work. She’s assisting a young woman who had just been in a car accident— a teenager, really— with her pregnancy. Katara has her sitting on an examination table, her round belly exposed, water-covered fingers hovering above her skin. There’s a small mass, a heartbeat and a whorl of chi that she can feel, pressing back against her. Katara describes the entire process, and the girl smiles at her uncertainly throughout, a look of wonderment on her face. “And to think,” she whispers. “In the beginning, I’d been praying to get my period. Now, I feel so relieved.”

    The distant part of her that can still feel wants to commiserate. She wants to laugh, pat her shoulder, and say, “A baby can change everything, huh? Isn’t life so ironic?”

    And then it hits her, like a bolt of lightning down her spine— I can’t remember the last time I had mine.

    Summary

    “Because he’s a monk, genius. He works on Air Temple Island.”

    Katara’s mouth rounds. She’s not entirely sure why she’s shocked. Aang being a monk seems rather obvious, now, given the shaved head and tattoos, but she supposes it must be his age. Every Air Nomad monk she’s met— of which there hasn’t been many, admittedly— has been old, gray, and wizened.

    And, objectively, she thinks, glancing at him. Gray eyes flick away. Not as good-looking.

    Summary

    Though Santa’s legwork was good, his arms lacked certain strength. Akaashi said not a setter, at least, but Bokuto thought with training, Santa Claus could play a mean middle blocker.
