Day 6: Weaknesses or Character Flaws - Avatar: The Last Airbender - Fic Rec

[lightbird]

Title/Link:broken pieces still belong
Creator: faerialchemist
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Character(s): Katara, The Gaang, Hakoda, Haru
Rating: T
Word Count: 20,594
Summary: “What if…” Katara’s voice was barely above a whisper, and she forcibly swallowed the lump in her throat. Her mother’s face floated before her, ash falling from the corners of her eyes. “What if I don’t…” Aang’s lifeless body flashed in her mind, lightning dancing across his spine. “What if I can’t forgive him?”

Forgiveness isn't easy. (And really, who ever said it was?) This fic follows Katara's emotional journey from the events of "The Western Air Temple" to those of "The Southern Raiders," as she experiences firsthand both the challenges and rewards of forgiving others (and perhaps even learns to forgive herself along the way).

Terrific longer Katara-centric story. faerialchemist is a wonderful writer, whose AtLA stories are always worth reading, and she does a beautiful job writing Katara.

Reccer's Notes: This is an incredible vid for an incredible character. It encapsulates her rise through the ashes of the Anderson Dawes and the Fred Johnsons of the Belt to the heights of Camina Drummer, Belter-badass. I love her character arc over the series and this vid literally hits every note.
