for a moment, she’s transported years back. before her mistake, before the fallout. she’s eight years old. the daughter of toph beifong has an image to keep up, but she just wants to run around with her older sister. lin is an unstoppable force to the little girl, even at fourteen, lin is defined. strong. what is suyin? except a little lost, following in the steps of giants, confused. how long has she wanted to run? out the door, never looking back? flash forward. she leaves without so much as a goodbye, and she’s sent to her grandparents. ( suyin didn’t say sorry yet. how could her mom let her leave without saying sorry. ) flash forward. the pirate ship. the sand benders. the circus. ( she still hasn’t managed to say sorry. why can’t she say it? ) when she builds the city, when she settles down, when she hears about her sister — the chief you say? I always know she’d follow in mom’s footsteps. is she happy? she tries.
the memory lights up like a flashbulb. a young opal plays outside, and suyin brings the pen and paper outside. this type of letter shouldn’t be written in an office — that’s too impersonal. she listens to her daughter laugh, as she begins again. dear lin, it’s been years. no , what if lin throws it out immediately? dear lin, how are you? no. lin won’t answer. su stops, the sun making her daughter look angelic. this girl deserves to know her aunt. hand turns back to the paper, dear lin, I'm sorry. she drops the paper when opal cries, and the wind picks its up. by the time su has consoled her daughter, the letter is gone. it doesn’t matter. she wouldn’t have read it either.
it was a long time ago. thirty years. thirty years. they could have had thirty years. what if suyin had died? here. now. how could she face the spirits, knowing she had left lin? why couldn’t she have said sorry when she needed to. you cannot go back in time. you want to, how badly suyin wishes that time could be undone. how many memories does she picture her sister in now? su is smiling, smiling because she knows her sister has forgiven her. but the tear on her cheek reminds her that this could have been years ago. she turns away from lin, she can’t face her. like a coward. she’s a coward.
‘ everything I've lost —— ‘ she stops. the guilt. her voice breaks. she didn’t love her son the right way. she didn’t love kuvira the right way. she didn’t love her sister enough to apologize thirty years ago. suyin has loved in all the wrong ways. and thus, she has lost. ‘ I can’t lose you lin — I've lost — I've lost more than you know. ‘ the memories. the identity. a mother failed. ‘ it’s me who has to make up for everything lin. ‘ she can’t look her sister in the eye. she can’t. how beautiful lin is. even with the scar, more with the scar. suyin shakes. if they had died because of her mistake. ‘ i have been a bad mentor , mother , but I — I failed you as a sister lin. ‘
‘ I can’t take any more loss ——— and I promise you , I will never hurt you again. ‘
@moonethos continued.

every waking moment since chloe had found out the truth had been spent questioning the past few years. the more she thought about it, the more it complicated things. was her whole life manufactured? best not to dwell on it, was the conclusion she had come to. a comfortable silence had blanketed the two, a rare but appreciated few moments, considering lucifer’s need to talk whenever possible. there is a small tug on the corner of her lips, her body turns to face him ever so slightly.
“ i never stopped thinking about you. ”
@moonethos ♥️ : embrace, 𝗕𝗨𝗡𝗡𝗬.

❝ 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 , ❞ Shrill whine is heard over the chatter of the festivities.
Lanterns line the streets – a canopy of stars – while the flames dancing up around them cast ever – changing shadows across her rosy features. Lips contorted into a pout , she’s practically hanging off his arm as she guides him further into the crowd. It’s hard to stay focused on her task at hand when music has her eyes darting to and fro. Leave it to the Fire Nation to celebrate Avatar Day , in commemoration of Avatar Roku , in the grandest way possible. Fascinated gaze follows an entertainer swallowing flames on the street , only returning to look at Zuko when she almost drags him down with an absentminded stumble over her own two feet. ❝ What I’m saying is , ❞ She chimes up , straightening her clothes as she hops to stop in front of him. ❝ I just need you to be my wingman , that’s it. You tell them just how great I am – that shouldn’t be too hard , right ? ❞

@moonethos asked : “Leave! Me! Alone!”
she stands outside the door, hearing the words before getting too close. toph knows better than to push through when zuko is this angry, and part of her is rather worried, but instead of going against instinct she leans against the door and slides down to the floor. ❛ hey, fire baby ? i’m out here when you’re done with your tantrum. just let me know ! ❜ just because he was mad didn’t mean toph was going to tone down the snark.

the president would like to speak with @moonethos
“Bolin, could you set a pot of tea on?” the president asked her assistant. She always enjoyed her meetings with the former crown prince. Ambassadorship seemed like a much better avenue for a military general than the crown.
The Fire Nation airship made its way just over the hillside to a new Republic City airfield, which Zhu Li was going to designate as the world’s first International Airport, the Avatar Korra International Airport, though there were plenty of other figures she could have decided to name it after.
After a short taxi ride on the part of the general, the president stood with her security detail at the front doors of City Hall where the car doors opened.
“Good afternoon, Ambassador.” she greeted while bowing. “I trust your flight was good?”

@moonethos — “fate will do something.” ( to julian from anneliese )
𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙤 𝙤𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘. perhaps she knows something he does not — likely so. he may be the tutor, but she is a princess. “ 𝗶’𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗲, ” he replies. his face, wrists, and body tired and bruised, he limps about, attempting to find some way to break them out of this mine. eventually, his gaze finds a pickaxe, and he hurries to pluck it up and start to work. “ 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶 𝗱𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶 𝗱𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶’𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. ”

❛❛ I already told you, dad, ❞ She begins, arms crossed, thin brows furrowed as she cocks her hip. ❛❛ I’ don’t want to take your throne, please stop asking me. ❞ There’s exasperation in her tone as she faces him, not afraid to DISOBEY the will of Satan himself. She doesn’t fear him like most people would. Probably because they’re related and she knows he wouldn’t hurt her. @moonethos <3

dear lin,
I am so sorry. I know you don’t want to hear from me, and I understand why. I understand that there are things I should have apologized for, things I did as a child that were wrong. but this, to hear about this from a newspaper? a correspondent? lin. we are still sisters. we are beifongs, and I will always love you. I cannot — I cannot imagine what it is like. when things were terrible, when I felt so alone, I would put my feet on the floor. I could hear the earth breathe lin, I could feel her alive beneath me, and I know you felt that too. what is that silence like lin? why haven’t you written to me in this silence? when one noise disappears, you have to let another in. let that noise be our family.
you have a niece who revels in your story. you have nephews enamored by your existence. I know you cannot hear the earth. I know you are alone now, because without the earth, without metal, without the vibrations, we are alone. that is a fact. but you are not alone in family. please lin, let me in. let us in. there’s amazing people in zaofu, people who can check this out for you, people who can try — try and help.
why didn’t you tell me? why didn’t you ask me for help? lin, your pride will be the end of the you. my metal clan, we can help you. we can do something to help — we have always been here to help you, and we love you. republic city is your city, but amon....the stories that I've heard. you should have written to me. you should have called me. I am ridden with guilt, guilt that will never go away lin.
because in the silence you feel in the earth is my doing. for not being there as a sister. it is the silence of a broken family. do not let it remain like this anymore.
unsent letter, found on suyin beifong's desk. / @moonethos

noi watches the other, slightly amused. “ it’s the market. you don’t have to dress like that. ” noi can’t hold back comments that roll of her tongue. even when they come as far more judgmental than she imagined. she backtracks, realizing that maybe being so abrasive to everyone , especially those with far more influence than her , might not be the best idea. she shoves her hands in her pockets, looking up at him. “ not — not that — that’s bad ... just weird. ”

@moonethos / ❝ it is only a matter of time before he gets to you too. ❞ loki was not optimistic in the slightest. he knew they were more than likely doomed. if the avengers thought they could destroy the titan... they were dumber than he thought. ❝ why bother fighting it? he will destroy you like he destroyed half of my people. ❞ and nearly himself he thinks as he rubs the tender bruises on his neck.
