Summary: 26 moments set during Korra and Mako's relationship, following each letter of the alphabet.
Rating: T for mild language and suggestive themes
Pairing: Makorra
Main Genre(s): Romance/Humor/Hurt/Comfort
A/N: This is something I have been wanting to do for quite some time, and now that I have each individual prompt set in stone, I've decided to work on this alongside my oneshot collection. Most of these will be written ahead of time, allowing me time to focus on writing for and updating Until the Day I Die. This series will be updated every other day. For example; if I were to upload a new chapter on a Monday, the next one would not be released until Wednesday.
These will vary from present tense to past tense.
These will vary from oneshots to drabbles.
I hope you all enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Legend of Korra. The wonderful series belongs Mike and Bryan.
A is for Adamant
Korra was always an adamant young woman.
From the moment she threw herself into her first pro-bending match as the replacement waterbender for the Fire Ferrets, to putting an end to Amon and the Equalists and fulfilling her duties as the Avatar, Mako had always known she was headstrong and strong-willed. If he ever needed proof on the matter, all he had to do was sit and watch her airbending training from the sidelines. So here he sat on the pavement of the training grounds located on Air Temple Island, watching his girlfriend stare down the training gates. He had never seen her hesitant with the gates before; she had always barreled toward them after sending a gust their way. However, he did have an idea of what exactly she was doing — or rather, wanted to do. He caught her sideways glance in his direction and knew his suspicions rang true. Korra wanted to use him for her training.
"Oh no," Mako folded his arms across his chest. "I am not helping you train."
"Come on!" she groaned, turning to fully face him. "Tenzin says I need to practice defensive techniques, and what better way to practice them then with another bender?"
"Korra, air and fire don't really mix well," he stated as he stood up, surveying the various trees and plants surrounding them. With a flick of his wrist toward them, he continued. "With your luck, you'd start a huge fire on the island. Why not ask Bo or one of the kids to help you?"
"Because I want you to help me! Besides, if a fire does start, I can just put it out. Come on! It'll be fun!"
The young firebender let out a lengthy sigh. There really was no use in fighting her; whatever she wanted, she would push and push until she finally acquired it. That didn't mean that he would give in so easily, however. Especially with the risk that accompanied her current want. "I'm not going to be at fault for burning down the entire island. The answer is no."
"Mako, I need to learn how to use the defensive techniques properly. Against all types of benders." Her lips protruded in to a pout, and from that moment, Mako knew he wasn't getting out of this. "And that includes fire, so come on!"
"That also includes earth, which is not my department." His face settled in a scowl. "Bolin will be more willing to help you than I am."
"What's the big deal? It's just a few, quick defensive moves. Come on!"
"Didn't anyone ever teach you that no means—Hey!"
Just like that, Mako was pulled forward by a strong gust, landing face first onto the cement. He groans and flips over, gazing up at the young woman standing over him.
"You're helping me whether you like it or not, Cool Guy," she grinned, taking his hand in her own and helping lift him to his feet.
"I figured as much... Jeez." He brought a hand to rub the back of his head, wincing in pain when he went over a tender spot. "But if you set anything on fire, you're at fault, not me."
She grinned at her accomplishment, motioning for him to stand back a few feet. He did as told, not wanting to get her started again, and prepped himself to aid the Avatar in her training.
Quick little author's note, here. I need words for the letters V and X. Those two seem to be the most difficult for me. If you have any words for those two letters, please leave them in a review or shoot me a PM! Next update will be this Wednesday, the 19th.
