Title: "Life with Korra "
Authors: A6 and divsalley collaboration
Rating: K – Senraq, Senna/Pema/Katara bonding, Tenma
Summary/Notes:
Inspired by Korra's attractive parents Senna and Tonraq, the mentorship by Katara to Korra and her family, and the impact her new surrogate family has on Korra (Tenzin and Pema and their kids), fellow FFnet writer and close friend divsalley and I have teamed up to write a series of short stories set within the Korra universe and 12 episodes. Divsalley and I have written four or five stories together either by ourselves or with other author friends, and teamed up once again.
This time we intend to write a series of short stories about life growing up with Korra. We have created the framework of these five adults being interviewed on a Republic City radio talk show about their experiences with the young Avatar. Hope you like this idea of flashing back and forth, and enjoy the stories! The emcee of the talk show is none other than the 1920's style raspy tenor-voiced pro-bending announcer! :D
Most of the chapters are a totally joint effort. Some were single writers with the other doing editing to get the final product. We'll cite each other on those.

Life with Korra - Prologue
With pops and squawks, the familiar radio announcer Shiro Shinobi's voice boomed over the radio waves across the World, "Ladies and gentlemen, beginning tonight we bring to you a special public service program I just know you will all love. We are fortunate to have all together for the very first time in our studio every one of the people who had the greatest influence on our new Avatar Korra's life. First, her parents Senna and Tonraq, who are visiting us from the Southern Water Tribe, her childhood home."
Senna and Tonraq nodded their greetings.
The announcer mused, "This is the radio. We have to talk."
Senna spoke tentatively into their microphone, "Oh yes of course. Hello everyone...out there."
"Next we are delighted to have Air Nation Councilman Tenzin and his lovely – and expecting - wife Pema join us. As you know, Tenzin has taken Korra into their family to teach her air bending."
Tenzin said calmly, being a veteran of interviews and radio, "It's good to be here, Shiro."
And finally a special treat for everyone, the mentor of Korra for many years at the South Pole training center, wife of Avatar Aang and mother of Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi; Hundred Year War heroine, and the world's finest water bender and Healer, Master Katara!
Katara leaned into the microphone, tapped it, which caused a horrible feedback screech, and said, "Oh dear. Sorry about that. Hello everybody. I love all this new technology. Unfortunately it doesn't love me."
"We're pleased that the sponsors for our program over the next several nights are Flameo Instant Noodles and Future Industries, makers of the famous Satomobile."
Shiro instructed his guests, "Well let's get started here. We're going to have a series of questions to ask all of you about life with Avatar Korra as parents and mentors. So please tell us all about our new Avatar, and what it was like raising and training her."
"Honored guests, it's unprecedented to have an Avatar's Sifu's and parents all together at one time. And besides, I understand you are all friends, too. What brought you all together for the first time? "
Tonraq took the first shot at responding, and said, "Well Shiro, it started like this..."
