Rolan: In one moment you were returning the sister and brother I long thought dead to me. The next, you presided over the salvation of the very cleric who watched over us all. Time and again, I have watched you prevail over horrors unspeakable. Time and again, I have watched you be the hero we need exactly when needed. Even when I have far from deserved it. I...you...

Tavaria: That's the thing about love, Rolan. It's a decision - to trust the part of us that's the most vulnerable in the arms of another.

Rolan: My family. The only people left alive who know me, understand me, choose me.

Tavaria: My very soul, and everything left in me that's still good.

Rolan: You...I...I know not what the future holds, with my apprenticeship and with your battle against the Absolute and against your own mind...that said...I love you, Tavaria.

I haven't been drawing recently and wanted to expand more on it. I thought it would be fun to draw other's ocs to break through on practicing! I decided to draw someone's tav because I found her pretty and have kept up on the posts about her (her current design through the dark urge). This was a before and after shading (sorry the lighting isn't good). I would definitely like to do this again with someone else's oc! I hope it's alright that I drew her!

Another drawing for @shewolfofvilnius this time with Rolan and Tavaria. He's very difficult to draw for me but i wanted to practice drawing men and I thought why not! I tried to make him have that pride of his yet still able to show some vulnerable around Tavaria. I hope you like them and maybe I'll do a better one soon lol I might even go in an add more details to it later. I really just gave up on his armor lol

i don't often draw fanart so I'm rather pleased with how this turned out and of course I was honored to draw something for a friend, thank you for the opportunity, ari!

I understand why that's a reasonable assessment from him; Her history with the wardens is common in-world knowledge, the plot of Leliana's song is not. However from an outside perspective, I think it's far more likely Leliana did know, but that she has a soft spot for those seeking redemption from their past, given her own history.

BUT...the story I posted for day one of Zutara Week, a fic I think is among the better things I've ever written, is only doing a fraction of the views (and kudos and comments and...) as a fic I posted the week before that was definitely more niche (albeit also with that same ship).

And the story I posted the day before the week started is ALSO only doing a fraction of the numbers as said 'week before' story, despite being a direct sequel with a very similar tone, similar tags, linked in a collection, etc.

It really does feel like Zutara Week is causing my most two recent stories to get fewer readers, not more (oversaturation maybe?) and as someone who put a LOT of effort and quite frankly emotion into those two newer stories, it's honestly kind of heartbreaking.

Anyway I'm not participating in the rest of the week and that's part of why. I'm still loving everyone's art and stories they're posting, but I'm tapping out.

Maybe I'll upload more down the road, in a less saturated season, but those two took a lot out of me emotionally so if only a fraction of the ppl will see/read it compared to another time, then i'm wasting my time and my own heart writing/posting it now.

ETA: The idea of the ZK week fic as posted/plugged on Tumblr is doing well, but basically no one is bothering to click through or read the thing. And that takes a *lot* out of me emotionally.

Maybe this isn't a poem. Maybe it's more like a love letter to tell you why i choose you. - Dante Basco

Zutara Week 2026 Day 4: Visions

I feel a great romance for you. The man you are going to marry... I can see that he's a very powerful bender.

Eventual Mai x Ty Lee. Words: 5,622

AO3 Link

Mai has spent her entire life never being truly seen. Azula only seeing leverage gained against her brother or a pawn to manipulate. Society expecting certain things from the daughter of a noble. Being seen so thoroughly as an ornament, as decoration, as emotionless - that she can walk through a prison mid-riot unquestioned.

Mai is very, very tired of not being seen - and Agni help her, she wants the entire world to truly see her. Eventually, she realizes someone already does.

Starts at the events of The Boiling Rock in s3 and goes in its own direction. Takes place in the same divergent timeline of events as 'The Eyes of the Chief', but following Mai's life after the events of Boiling Rock instead. (Only VERY minor Zutara plot beats, and to the degree there IS Maiko it's treated as a mix of 'a past thing' and 'only borne of obligation')
