LoK Fic: that house of mine

[fated_addiction]

Weekend at Emma's! Which sounds like weekend at Bernie's. Except tosca1390 is very much alive, making me watch The Sound of Music, and so not dead. I'm also definitely on my way to finishing a bottle of wine. With feelings.

Instinct proves to fire, nature to earth and habit, a fond habit, goes to water. She knows air is foreign and it's all just a mess in her head. She should be better, she knows. They are all expecting her to be better.

YES YES YES THIIIIIIS. I am kind of obsessed with Korra's relationship with each element. I think it's so telling how fire is always what she goes to when she doesn't have time to think about it, whereas earth is when she's being stubborn or angry but she's still very much in control of herself, and water is always almost an afterthought and she only seems to use it when the situation calls for it. (Which adds this really interesting layer to her probending, that she's doing something that maybe isn't incredibly natural to her and METAPHORS AND THINGS, and also makes me SO, SO CURIOUS about what she would be like a probender for earth or fire.)

ALSO, OKAY, PUT THIS AWAY BEFORE YOU HURT SOMEONE: There's a precision when she trains; groping for instinct is something she struggles with too. She doesn't feel like she

WHY DO YOU DO THIS?

This is so quiet and gorgeous and you can feel all of Korra's tension and how complicated everything, EVERYTHING, is. And lifetimes! LIFETIMES. ~feelings~

This is really wonderful. I love the characterization and the writing style, which really gets across the emotion. Thank you for sharing this with us. :)
