Thank BG-13 for helping me through all 117 chapters of this long story! She is just INCREDIBLE and you all really need to thank her for putting up with all these crazy crossovers. Thank you all for reading and hope you enjoyed it.
Korra's POV
Some people withstand the thunder and lightning just to feel the rain against their skin. It lets them know their alive, that they exist, that they can feel. That can be a metaphor for life I suppose. All throughout our life we are pushed around and knocked down by obstacles in our path. We want to quit, we want to just lay there and wallow in the pain and misery, we have thoughts that we're not proud of when we see no other way for things to get better.
But then, life hands us a second chance, an opportunity. It can be in the form of forgiveness, a little boy who wouldn't say a word, or the man you've loved all along. At least, that's where I found my second chance.
So what happens is, yeah sure, you get knocked down. You withstand the thunder and lightning. Then, the rain comes, and you realize you're surrounded by people who love you and you feel this warmth spread through your body.
The rain comes for me when Jason looks at me with those big amber eyes and calls me Mom. It comes in the quiet moments with my parents and Katara, when I can feel how much they love me. It comes when Mako kisses me and holds me in his arms.
Those are the moments when I know the storm has passed. Those are the moments when I feel at home.
