The Spirit World is wide and vast and ever-changing, but Korra and Asami saw as much as they possibly could within the time of their vacation. They walked, swam, slept and snuggled the days away, finding comfort in the strangest of places. The shore of a pond where spirits swam and sang, forest clearings, mountain caves. From their time in the jungle of concrete and steel, they allowed themselves to be wild and free here.

Korra learned that Asami was just as beautiful without makeup and with hair tied into a messy bun as she had ever been.

The days felt as though they lasted weeks, but even that was not enough. They each had lives to return to, but hope that they might make them better having found one another.

They stood before the portal in Republic City in silence, closer physically and emotionally than they had been at the start. Korra rested her head on Asami's shoulder, Asami in turn had laid a hand on Korra's waist.

"We'll do this again, won't we?" Asami breathed. "I just mean that things might get hectic when we go back. The world could change again, we could slip up, anything could happen. So can we promise that we'll come back here? Together?"

Korra nodded lightly, not moving from her position.

"I think it's a good idea. When things get stressful, we can just come back here. Agreed?"

"Agreed." Asami smiled, letting her head rest on Korra's as she savored the moment.

They would remember this, these seconds before returning, every night in the weeks that came. Even if the world fell into chaos, if either of them lost sight, they could have this. These days of tranquility in the Spirit World had healed them, as well as allowed each of them to find each other.

"I love you," Korra whispered.

"I love you too," Asami replied.

With that, they straightened up and made their way to the portal, hand in hand, and stood, ready to be transported back to the world they knew. One thing was for certain.

For as long as each was able, they would love the other with all their heart.
