Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh!.
I do own "Korra", my OC for the purpose of this fiction.
Another small one-shot. This time I experimented with going very far in the future-an alternate conclusion to the canon timeline.
First person, Téa's POV. (Ha, I'm surprised no one corrected me on that. NOT third person. *note to self, wine AFTER editing*)
Yes, as you guessed I love Legend of Korra (as well as its predecessor, Avatar the Last Airbender). Not a crossover, but I always imagined the powerhouse character Korra being the perfect offspring of Atem and Téa would they ever have a child together-Téa's compassion (and hair), Atem's courage (and skin). So that's where I drew inspiration from when naming their daughter.
This was also inspired by fanfiction and deviantart user linkyiwakura, who is an immensely talented artist. Look her up on deviantart, it won't be hard to find the pieces that inspired me to write this. Thanks for your lovely work my friend!
Hope it's not weird. Enjoy :-)
Korra

It had been a month since Atem had met his new daughter. Our new daughter.
Knowing how standoffish and introverted Atem could be at times, I never assumed that his relationship with his first child would be all sparks and fireworks. I never assumed that he would be good at goo-goo talk or making funny faces. I never assumed he would be very enthusiastic about late night crying, changing diapers, or wrestling tiny shoes on tiny defiant feet. I never assumed that he would immediately become an expert on this whole "father" thing.
But I stood there, holding a basket of warm laundry, in awe at the extraordinary scene playing out in front of me. Atem and Korra faced each other lying on their stomachs on top of Korra's cloud pink cotton blanket Serenity made her. And they were staring with a deep, profound fascination into each other's eyes. Both were completely silent—and do you know how difficult it is to get a child as young and vocal as her quiet for even half a minute? I was stunned, and a little relieved at the seldom-found peaceful moments in our home since Korra came into our lives. I watched as Atem slowly smiled at his little girl, and Korra reciprocating it in the same manner, showing off her toothless gums. No giggling, no gibberish speak, just smiling and looking. Neither was even remotely aware of my presence, and I felt no need to make it known.
Atem extended a hand towards Korra, palm up. Korra took a moment to look at his hand and decide what to do. She used her tiny hand to latch onto Atem's index finger. She squeezed quite hard. She held her father's finger like it was a gift she wanted to keep with her always. Her violet eyes were wide open and beaming. Beyond the curiosity of the average infant, there seemed to be real, genuine understanding in her eyes when she looked at him, as if they were communicating on a totally different plane than the one I was standing in, almost like how he communicated with Yugi when they were cohabitating Yugi's body. It was something only they could share, and that kind of bond was strong as iron, impenetrable. I could only wonder what they were "speaking" about, just father and daughter.
A tear escaped my eye.
Now that I was able to witness such a beautiful candid moment of the two, my earlier fears melted away and I breathed an inaudible sigh of relief. I realized that Atem and I may have just conceived the perfect child. We just may have given the world a woman who will leave it better than where she found it. She was going to chase her dreams. She was going to help people.
I just knew our little Korra was going to change the world. She was her father's daughter, after all.
