It's christmas in half an hour. Happy holidays to the people who celebrate, happy capitalist garbage nightmare to everyone else, and, above all, if you celebrate on the 25th instead of the 24th, please consider accepting the error of your ways.

Zukka week 2023
Day 2: turtleduck pond & second chance (FLWOGB)
"Hina claps with awe at the eruption of flames from Zuko’ skin. It is yellow, yes, orange too, but there is purple in the fire, and green, and red, blue, white, pink and more, all dazzling and brilliant as they burst from Zuko’s palms.
“Cool!” she yells, but Sokka hears her as if from a distance, finds his heart catching somewhere between his throat and mouth at the sight of Zuko’s shy smile, the rainbow reflected in his eyes. The light flickers over both their faces, vibrant and ethereal.
[... ]
Sokka turns on his heels slowly, awestruck at the colourful warmth surrounding them. Zuko’s taken care to keep the flames a safe distance away, but Sokka can still feel the gentle heat of the fire flowing around him. It sinks into his skin, pushes all the way through to some unknown, untouched part of him that resides deep within his chest, making it unfurl until its blossoms peek out like the first buds of spring. And when he comes to a stop right back where he started—staring at Zuko’s cupped hands, his upturned mouth, his hair shimmering a thousand different shades, the way he looks up at Sokka just then with his unscarred eye squinting at its corner, bright and effusive and striking— the blossoms spread wide in his chest, trailing up and down and throughout him, catching at his seams. Coming alive.
And he thinks, oh.
And he thinks, oh shit. "
From "Feels like we only go backwards", Chapter 16, by @oldpotatoe. Yeah, I'm not for getting this fic like... Never. This scene is an example for a second chance to fall in love :) and also... Turtleduck pond.
I hope you liked it!

Zuko, shinning with many colours of the flames, seems Happy while showing that trick to the little girl (Hina), Who we only see her back, but feels amazed. A little turtleduck looks at Zuko from the pond. END ID]
