Back by popular demand: me! Well, my story. When I was writing the first chapter, I was wondering, what would be Aang's point of view in this scenario would be. So, here it is. I hope it's as good as the first.
I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender, or its super-awesome spin-off/sequel The Legend of Korra. The greatest creators in Nickelodeon history, Bryan and Mike, own both. I own this story, though, and you're free to adapt it as you wish, as long as you give me credit, and allow others to do the same.
As stated before, in Aang's point of view.
This moment here takes me back to the day we first met.
That instant, when I first looked into your eyes.
As deep and as blue as the ocean.
I felt that I had loved you my whole life.
More than anything than I had ever had.
Except, I didn't have you.
That moment, as tired and as weak as I was.
I just wanted to wrap my arms around you and kiss you.
But I couldn't, so I came up with a lame excuse.
To take you penguin-sledding.
And I promised myself on that fateful day.
That I would always protect you.
Even if it cost me the war, even my life.
That I would do everything I could to make you happy.
And eventually, some day.
That I would make you mine.
And finally, that day has come.
And it is even better than I could have ever imagined.
A life's work, finally paying off.
Yes, I know what you'd say to that.
That, "my life's work is defeating the Fire Lord."
And most would agree with you.
But I simply don't think like that.
Maybe my priorities are completely mixed up, or something like that.
The way I see it, I go back to that promise.
The one I made to myself that first day we met.
To protect you, to make you happy, to love you.
And I will always keep that promise, no matter how foolish it may be.
I will always try to make you smile, I would always give my life to save yours.
And I will always love you, even if, for whatever reason, you don't want me to.
But it seems pretty clear, in this moment.
You want me to.
Wow, I didn't think it would turn out this well. We're at 8 reviews for the story so far. Here's the goal: let's get to 20! Then, I'll write and post the next chapter!
My plan for the rest of the series is to have chapters "based" on members of the Gaang at the end of the war, those being Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Suki, and Hakoda. You'll have to wait until the end to see the actual confession to each other (likely Toph's story), but until then, Aang and Katara will be receiving advice from the others. I'll even have a Zutarian OC as a joke in Zuko's chapter. (He'll completely discount everything she says. ;))
Until then, see ya!
Alexander
