Sleeping is optional

wip of the opening redraws I started (and stopped) working on a few months ago. I am sorry for leaving you all hanging for so long. Trying to find motivation again.

-things to keep in mind-

I am only one person. This series is not my top priority in my life, it comes second to college, work, self care, etc. I am however extremely passionate about this work, and will update whenever I have the time.

I am an artist, not a writer. While I am working to improve my writing skills, some story elements may have continuity errors, and characters may act ooc sometimes. I really appreciate advice on how to write better

My preferred method of telling my story is through music. The video versions are up on my TikTok (@ valkyrie1435) and will be posted here eventually as well. I will definitely draw in a comic format, but to get the full experience, watch the videos.

This story will feature many of the main cast members, but it is primarily Zuko-centric. He is my special interest character, so naturally I draw him the most.

I am autistic, so my interactions in comments and asks may be awkward.

If you have a question not related to this comic, ask it on my main account, @valkyrie1435 also, don't write an ask if you don't have a question. Please use the comment/reply feature on posts.

I need validation. Like any other artist, I can only motivate myself for so long without outside feedback. Commenting and engaging with posts is very encouraged!

The story is a work in progress. I am not entirely sure the direction this series will be taking, so feel free to speculate or give suggestions on what you would like to see.

Ships will not be a focus. If you are looking for atla ship content, you won't find it here.

Been reading "la plaga de caparazón" by @quasar-crew (Kastaborous) on A03, and I couldn't stop thinking about poor Leon (SPOILERS) after his hysterical break in Chapter 4. How hard he disassociated when faced with his own reflection was gut-wrenching but I couldn't stop reading! I LOVE the story and I cannot wait to catch up on the reading.

That said- I HIGHLY recommend anyone interested to read the fic if they haven't yet, it's amazing!

"Mhm?" Clark doesn't look up from his work at first, not until Bruce's silence persists, and he finally looks up from his article. "B?"

Bruce rubs the bridge of his nose, not looking at him. Instead, his eyes are fixed to his own computer, but the look it is receiving is familiar.

Somehow.

Clark has irritated him.

"You ask me to help you figure out budgeting."

Clark nods. "I did."

"You say you can't figure out how to increase your rainy-day fund."

"Well, I wanted to take Lois out, but—"

Bruce's palm succinctly informs him to shut up, and he clamps his mouth shut, slumping in his chair. This is what he gets for befriending a billionaire. Ego.

"You didn't think that shelling out for health insurance as an invulnerable alien might be taking a hit on your wallet?"

Heat rises to his cheeks.

"Why do you even have health insurance?"

The exasperation in Bruce's tone only makes Clark more reluctant to answer, knowing his response will worsen it, but he also knows that if Clark doesn't answer, Bruce will find the information anyway.

"There was an incident."

"Mm?"

Intrigue sparks in those icy depths, and as Bruce moves the laptop aside to focus on him, Clark resigns himself to the mortification of actually telling someone this.

"I ate an egg."

"That's nice," Bruce drawls.

Clark swallows. "It was raw."

"Good for you, buddy."

He can't help but snort, and shakes his head. "I— I really like eggs, and as a kid I was hungry a lot, and impatient, so... I found out that I don't have to wait for Ma to boil me some. I could just. Eat it."

"I fail to see how this relates to—"

"I forgot that not everyone could do that, and I did it in the middle of lunch at school."

Bruce's lip draws in, tucked under a tooth, and his eyes shine.

Clark rolls his own, crossing his arms.

"I forgot!"

"About salmonella?!"

"It's not like I can get it!"
