    Summary

    "What if I didn't see it coming because I didn't want to," Asami blurts out, a manic note creeping into her voice. "What if whatever made him do it is in me too, what if—"

    Her stomach lurches like a cliff's edge had given way under her feet.

    "You aren't your father, Asami," Korra cuts in, like a steadying hand reaching out in the dark.

    Summary

    For two years, Asami diligently and carefully composes letters to Korra, even as she grapples with feelings of loneliness and abandonment. She treads a fine line with what to say and what not to say, and worries that each letter might be going unread—then Korra writes back.

    Summary

    Asami's eyes immediately land on Korra, as they always do, whether they're in a crowded room or on a battlefield or in the peace of their own home, pulled by forces unknown to the face of her lover, to that shard of her own soul walking around outside her body.

    Summary

    “I think I still owe you a ride.”

    Korra swipes a hand through her hair, and the shining dark strands feather back down to frame the dusky rose blush blooming across her cheeks. “Well I'd hate to make a liar out of you,” she says. “You're not too busy?”

    Asami thinks about the mountain of expense reports waiting for her back in her sweltering office, about another night spent doing math—and not the fun kind—until her eyes glaze over and she falls asleep at her desk without eating, and she briefly entertains the idea of walking into the sea right here and now.

    Instead she swings a leg over the side of the jet ski and checks the kill switch, feels the corner of her mouth twitch up into a smile and beckons Korra over with a quick jerk of her head. “Hop on.”
