I am screaming and giggling and kicking my feet at the new update from Onyx about DLB. I kid you not I just relogged into this old Tumblr account for the first time in YEARS and was like I miss reading on here. I redid my page and was checking on Onyx's page bc I wanted to make sure was following in case there was an update (which there hasn't been one for years since she took everything down.) And THREE HOURS AGO SHE POSTED AN UPDATE?! My spidey senses were tingling on that one it's so freaky. But I am over the moon. I used to listen to the audio version of DLB on Spotify before it was removed. Specifically while I was driving home from work at night in the wintertime and EVERY SINGLE WINTER since it got removed I have been thinking about this story. Idc what anyone says I am so psyched with this update and revived hope of the fic being completed. <3
got me feelin like Julie freakin Andrews on that hilltop

"He's still asleep, if the steady rhythm of his breathing is anything to go by. He's got his back to her, awful scars catching the still-burning firelight."
"Your hair..."
"Like hers, it was soaked with sweat in the night — and yet somehow when it dried, it did so in the form of soft, white-blond curls. Loose and yet undeniable."

You might have gone through a lot that makes you believe your life will always be difficult. But you've been through it, you managed to do so and somehow it has shaped you into the person you've become today. Life doesn't always get easier, but it gets better. The more you go through life, the more you will also grow through life. You will also, one day, outgrow life - so keep on fighting and never give up.
This is for @onyx-and-elm . DLB grabbed my heart and soul and has brought me so much joy. I haven't created fanart in years, but this painting elbowed its way, fully formed, into my brain. I spent an embarrassing number of hours on it, while listening to the DLB Spotify playlist on repeat (check out the bottom right corner of the painting for some of the lyrics to Phantogram's "you don't get me high anymore," a song which I feel is absolutely fucking spot on for the mood of this story). This story is a bright spot of joy for me and your writing glows.
The golden badge on her chest seemed heavy and she felt an instant need to pull it off. She took a deep breath and removed it with a quick and confident move. She looked at the shiny piece of metal she had in her hand. For so many years it meant everything for her. It was her point in life.
She hid it in the drawer under some papers just to not look at it. It reminded her of guilt and shame she was feeling. She sat down on the bed with tears in her eyes. It was wrong, it was all wrong! She should be the one whose bending was taken away. Those soldiers were abducted by equalists and there was no way they could make it out alive.
She jumped when someone opened the door of her apartment.
“Kya?” she frowned and wiped the tears that were dripping down her cheeks. “What are you doing here? I told you I’m fine and none of you need to worry about me.”
“Yeah, you’re fine, I know. And puffy eyes are just an allergic reaction to my stupidity or something,” Kya pretended to yawn.
A moment later her face became more serious and the way she was speaking changed. Her voice was softer, calmer and warmer. She opened her arms waiting for Lin, who acted like she didn’t actually care.
Lin finally shrugged and let Kya embrace her tightly.
“You’re not okay, are you?” she asked but didn’t want to get a response. She knew the truth. “Tenzin told me everything that happened yesterday. Lin, it wasn’t your fault, you did everything you could.”
“But it wasn’t enough to save them.”
She trembled with emotions between Kya’s arms. She calmed down but only a little. Kya always could give her the feeling of safety.
“How will I look them in the eyes after all? Kya they trusted me and I… I…”
She sobbed, she didn’t even try to keep calm. It was too much even for her.
“I’ll stay there for a night, I don’t want you to be alone, especially like this. I’ve heard that they hurt you, is it true?”
Lin didn’t answer, so Kya took that as a “yes”.
“I know it’s hard but you will need to get over the past, do you hear me? You can’t look back, because it's easy to get lost in memories like these. Don’t look back, Lin.”
“You don’t understand, Kya,” Lin looked up at the waterbender.
“I do, Lin. Trust me.”
She held her tighter, she felt Kya’s scent, so soothing at the time.
“Don’t look back, Lin. Don’t let the past get you.”
Lin nodded but Kya knew that this small gesture was just to make her feel better. At least she was safe, Kya thought and kissed her slightly on the forehead.
“Now let me heal this wound of yours,” Kya smoothly changed the topic to distract her a little.
