Title: Bring It Back Now

“

“How?”

“Avatar Aang taught me after Amon took my bending away. Are you just gonna stand there? Come here, Tahno.” Korra tried to soften her voice, but Tahno was making things awkward and uncomfortable. 

Tahno moved with slow and deliberate steps towards Korra. He fell to his knees in front of her and looked up, his grey eyes full of huge crocodile tears. Korra’s face fell. How could she ever think he was coping? 

“It’s okay now Tahno. It’s okay,” She whispered and placed her thumb on his forehead. Her entire body glowed, then Tahno’s began to do the same. Once the glow faded, Korra sunk to her knees in front of Tahno.

“Do you feel it now?” She used her fingers to wipe away Tahno’s crocodile tears and held them in the air with waterbending. 

Tahno blubbered like a baby for a minute before using his own bending to pull the water from the air and turn them into tiny ice crystals. “Spirits, Korra, how?!” He laughed and jumped up, grabbing Korra’s arm in the process and dragging her out of the apartment. 

“I can feel it, Korra! It’s here again! I can feel the water calling me, oh spirits I’m whole again!” His voice was frantic and panicked sounding, but somehow Korra knew exactly what he wanted, what he needed.

Korra whistled harshly, and Naga came running. The polar bear-dog swooped both of them up and Korra guided her towards an overhanging cliff that looked over the water.

At the sight of the water, Tahno vaulted off Naga and jogged towards the very edge of the cliff and began stripping off his pajama pants. 

“Tahno wait up!” Korra yelled and hopped off Naga. She ran over to Tahno, only to watch in horror as he launched himself off the cliff completely naked. Sure he was going to hurt himself, Korra too launched herself off the cliff. 

“What the hell are you doing, Tahno!?” She screamed and created a giant wave that sucked up both benders. As she was lowering the way, she was suddenly blasted by a shot of water from Tahno. 

He created a platform of ice and used it to float above the water. He was laughing as Korra resurfaced. “Is that all ya got, Uh-Vatar?!” He called to her and made several small water whips. He froze two of them and sent them towards her.

They did little good when Korra created a waterspout so that she could be above Tahno. “Tahno you’re naked! I’m not fighting a naked guy!”

Tahno continued laughing and moved his hands wildly, freezing the waterspout under Korra’s feet. “Excuses are for the useless!” He propelled himself forward and lifted water whip. He punched it forward toward’s Korra’s head, but she simply froze it and jumped off the spout and directly into him. 

They landed in the water with a solid slap, only to resurface in a fit of laughter. Korra splashed Tahno in the face, just like that time she did in the Pro-Bending ring, and suddenly everything seemed like it was going to be okay. 

She was the Avatar still, her enemies were now her friends, and her life was looking pretty good at the moment.

“

Tahno’s face was priceless. “What did you just say?” He hissed out, the shock palpable in the air. Korra’s now smug expression made him frown severely. “Are you screwing with me? Do you think this is a joke, Korra?”

“I would never joke about something like this!” Korra made a noise similar to a dying animal and shoved Tahno out of the way, then grabbed Ming, who was closest to her hand.

She pushed him to his knees and put the thumb of her right hand on his forehead, with her left hand resting on her shoulder. She took a deep breath and exhaled before her eyes and hands began to glow.

There was a moment in the room where nobody dared move. Finally Korra pulled away from Ming and stepped back, only wobbling a little bit.

It was a weird feeling to bring back someone’s bending. To feel the power and control where it went was exasperating, but at the same time something scary.

Part 2!

“

The door swung open suddenly to reveal a very shirtless Tahno, with two roommates standing behind him glaring. Tahno’s hair still lacked its usual flare, but the bags under his eyes had lessened in color, and his skin didnt look as pale as when Korra had last seen him. In all honesty, he looked somewhat healthy. Like he was accepting his lack of bending. 

Sudden apprehension filled Korra. He was doing okay with his bending. He was coping. It seemed shallow and superficial for her to come and give it back to him, like she was forcing him to be a bender when he was clearly doing okay without it. 

“Only you would bang on someone’s door at six o’clock in the morning, Uh-Vatar.” The snark in his voice made Korra sneer in return. “What do you want, anyways? I figured you’d have stupid Avatar-ly duties to attend to.”

“I was coming to help you and your cronies out, but hey, since you want to be an ass I’ll just leave.” She growled back and put her hands on her hips. “Do you want your bending back or not!?” All earlier worries about giving Tahno his bending back were out the door now. Now she just wanted to show off her new ability so that his stupid attitude would go away. She was gonna take him down a few pegs.

Part 1 of my Tahnorra fic

Title: Bring It Back Now

Fandom: The Legend of Korra

Length: 

Type: waff

Rating: T+ for mild language

Pairing: Tahnorra

“This is the place, right?” Korra questioned and looked at the tiny note in her hand. It was an address, one she hoped was Tahno’s real one. She’d had to go through hell to get it, but she figured Tahno’s utter gratitude would make up for that.

Apparently, after losing his bending, Tahno had moved into the Dragon Flats district where the majority of non-benders lived. He shared an apartment with his teamates, Ming and Shaozu, who had decided to follow their team captain. It made sense, Korra guessed, in a weird “I’ll-follow-you-into-the-dark” type way. 

The apartment was medium sized and not all that lavish. It was simple, which was something that Korra would never peg Tahno for. But it made her smile, nonetheless. She now understood what losing your bending was like, and she could understand why Tahno and his teammates had chosen to die down their extravagance. 

“Tahno! Tahno open up the door!” Korra yelled out and pounded on the door. “Stop pouting and open up, it’s me, Korra!”

Douche but Not a Douche
  • Tarrlok

Can I just give him a hug? I think his bad-guy-gone-good act is one to fucking rival Zuko’s.

I’m not even gonna try and lie. I TOTALLY was on that hate train when he first kidnapped and fucked up Korra. Actually, I dont remember the last time I hated a character that much. He was just made so….hateable! And that’s GREAT. The fact that Brychael was able to instill that much emotion in me because of an animated character is a beautiful thing. 

His entire redemption was also beautiful. I was literally in tears when his backstory was revealed. 

I see people hating on the back story, saying it’s shitty writing, but I dont see that. At all. I cried and hated Yakone (then later felt bad for him when he died unhappy) felt bad for the boys while also loving their early relationship, and then freaked out when Tarrlok was forced to continue growing up in his brother’s shadow even with him missing. 

Every time I see a a gif of him sacrificing himself and his brother at the end I get tears in my eyes. 

Great job Brychael, for making a character with such an amazing and beautiful transformation. I approve of Tarrlok.

The most BAMF in the series
  • Lin

UGH HOLY SHIT

Easily the best character in the entire season. Lin is aesthetically pleasing to look at, strong as fuck, the daughter of THEE Toph Beifong, and all around perfect. Every scene with her in it was made ten times cooler. ‘Out of the Past’ could have literally been titled ‘Lin Beifong Single Handedly Stages Up Every Other Character in the Show Simply By Existing’ and I would be content with my life. 

The only thing that kind of irked me was when Mama Mako bumped past her to get Korra off Naga. I think it would have been more in character of her to push HIM back, and be like, “I’ll handle this”. 

Other than that, I approve of Lin wholeheartedly.

Tenzin
  • Tenzin

TENZIN MY LOVE

Ugh Tenzin was just so damn cool. I admired and respected him, and also felt really bad for him. I mean, he literally has the fate of all the Airbenders on his dick. Literally. He also has to live in the shadow of his dad, who is possibly the best Avatar the world has ever seen. His entire story, and love triangle was what the KorraxMakoxBolinxAsami thing SHOULD have been. 

His character was great. Awkward fatherly figure who’s got a bit too much on his plate, but he’s still coping like a boss? Perfect.

The one thing I’m confused about is: how the fuck did he get captured again? Last time I checked, Oogi was flying in one direction, and the last airship with Lin on it was flying in the exact opposite direction.

Regardless of that blip, I approve of Tenzin.

Here goes our heroine
  • Korra

I had such high hopes for Korra. Such. High. Hopes. Starting off, she was basically the epitome of every feminist’s dreams for female kind. Tough, didnt take shit from anyone, strong as fuck, and didnt need a man to hold her up. But then she met Mako and Bolin, and that last part just kind of fell apart. I feel like her attraction to Mako was five percent idol worship, fifteen percent stupidity, twenty percent this-guy-is-no-good-for-me-but-I’m-gonna-fuck-with-him-anyways, five percent he’s-taken-I-want-him-more-now, and sixty percent wow-this-is-my-first-real-relationship! Like… there was little to no ROMANTIC escalation of their relationship! I feel like her and Bolin have more romance between them. Mako and her have sexual tension, if that makes any sense. 

As a person, I feel like she didnt develop either. The whole point of Korra going to Republic City and living with Tenzin was to learn Airbending. You know, that element that needs patience, spirituality, worldly detachment and the ability to adapt? Yea, where are all of those traits? She never grasped the point of patience (this is spotlighted in every episode, where her usual words are, “I dont want to keep hiding, I want to fight Amon on my own terms!” before something bad happens). The only bit of spirituality she was able to touch was when she was knocked out, Tarrlok had her stuck in the box and Aang was feeding her the past, and then in the finale when he gave her her bending back. Worldly detachment? Pfftt. She never showed a bit of that, which was probably one of the reasons she couldnt get connected to the spirit world without being unconscious. Adapting to her situations was sometimes expressed, but not to the fullest I think it should have been. 

 Overall, I think Korra needs a lot of work. She needs to grow up and really master the personalities of the elements she bends. She also needs to reassess her life choices. She’s only 17 though, so I still have hopes for her.

First character up is Amon. I havnt found a definite spelling of his real name, so for now he’ll just be Amon.
  • Amon:

skskjfhskghj

In the beginning of the show, he was literally my favorite character. He was just the right amount of asshole, Prince Charming, and BAMF. By the end, he was still my favorite. His back story had me in tears, and I honestly love the way Brychael was able to literally make me feel like he was a human being. That, to me, is the most beautiful and amazing thing a writer can do for a story: make me feel bad for the bad guy. Give me a reason to like him. To feel like he deserves both my pity and respect.

The only thing I can say that honestly pissed me off was that his plan. They never gave us a clear cut reason for his opposition to bending. Was it just because his dad was an ass? Did something happen to him after he ran away to make him think bending was worse than it really was? Bending is based on genetics and spirituality, so theoretically, even if Amon took out the Avatar and bending in Republic City, bending would still exist in other places in the world. Also, his ability was never explained. How the hell was he able to take away bending with bloodbending? Was it the fandom’s theory of blocking chakra? Like.. I’m so confused about his ability.  

Regardless, he was still an amazing villian, and had a beautiful death. I approve of Amon.
