Raava accepts, tries to give Wan something as precious as what he gave her, somehow she presses forever into his skin and hopes that’ll do.

I know i don’t have to but i actually INSIST on reading Wan’s and Raava’s relationship as romantic. I dont know there’s just something romantic about them literally spending eternity together. And the fact that the avatar takes the face of the person they loved most previously??like Wan didnt die with kids or a wife ok so he didnt start that fucking trend and theres only one other person here guys. Raava has a big ole fatty fat crush on this human and she has no idea. She literally preserves his face in the avatar line up lol everyone else has to be old and Wan’s there, a hot 20 something year old grinning like a fool Raava bitch we see you. I like to think the second avatar after Wan still looked a lot like him. Raava and Wan, sweethearts, what are you trying to tell each other? Idk feels cosmic to me like they’re married technically speaking, did the vows right there on his deathbed.

Wan didn’t know he was getting forever with Raava until he took his last breath and closed his eyes for good on the battlefield, regret clinging to his aching bones,

“I failed you Raava”

“Shame does not suit your soul Wan.” A tremor works its way through him. “You tried, and I will be with you all your lifetimes so that you may try again. Rest now, you’ve done all you could do.” He tries to shake out the regret, for her, for them.

And Raava can feel the warmth leaving Wan’s body and she takes this last moment to miss him, miss his warmth and hands and his face and his voice before the moment was gone and she had to learn a new set of eyes.

So it was with a truly dizzying amount of joy that Wan opened his eyes to Raava once more, her light no longer uncomfortable for his gaze to linger. His breath trips though still at the sensation of her attention upon him. “Wan? You are here?”

“Eternity? Heh, sorry you're stuck with me then Raava” He’s grinning, he knows it, with all his teeth he probably looks wild.

“The contrary, actually, I was just preparing to miss your smile right when you arrived.”
