A/N: There's a definite homage to the inspiration for this story. I decided to do a little one sentence series within, like Tempest in a Teacup. It was a fun change of pace, and people don't do those 1sentence things anymore, which is sad.
~Part IV~
You're Mine
We Are Eternal
79. Certain
Azula doesn't know how she gets it.
Something about sunsets maybe, but in a metaphorical way. She is lying in bed, finding it impossible to fall asleep, and suddenly realizes how long she has ahead of her. Azula has a lifespan, choices, opportunity, a certain crown.
She doesn't want to live that life constantly wondering what would have happened if she caught Ty Lee for once. If she pinned that butterfly-moth down and kept her close. Ty Lee could never fly away again.
Being a teenager feels weird.
She finds Ty Lee.
She kisses her.
That is not normal.

80. Fragments
Dreamer – Ty Lee used to dream about weddings while Azula dreamt of crowns, so it was good that Ty Lee really wanted to be Fire Lady.
Plaything – As time passes after the kiss that sealed the deal, Ty Lee wonders if she is just Azula's plaything.
Legend – "I will be a legend, I will be the sun itself, and, well, ruling the world alone is lonely," Azula says and Ty Lee loves it.
Countryside – "We could run away," Ty Lee suggests one groggy morning.
Mortal – Azula feels time slipping by like an hourglass wedged inside of her chest.
Beach – They don't talk about the beach, even when they stay up late talking.
Daring – Ty Lee kisses her in front of Mai and doesn't get electrocuted to death.
Constant – "I'm flighty but you let me land," are Ty Lee's prettiest words.
Bloom – Everyone chalks it up to hormones but them.
Hollow – Ty Lee is now certain she is a plaything.
Sweat – Azula watches her sweat and doesn't know why it makes her sweat too.

81. The Truth About Forever
Ty Lee sits on Azula's floor and wrings her hands. The princess went to go change and Ty Lee feels nerves inside of her. She wants this to be forever.
Forever isn't long enough.
But, turns out, forever doesn't exist.
The Invasion is in three days.
Forever isn't long enough.
But, turns out, forever doesn't exist.
Azula comes back inside looking smug and smelling like flowers.
