The @wilcze-kudly Avatar Hottest Woman Tournament got me inspired to write a silly little drabble. @korrasamibottles this one’s for you.

The door to the home gym was cracked, and Asami couldn’t help herself. It promised to be a long day at Future Industries and nothing motivated her like catching a glimpse of who she would be coming home to.

She tiptoed into the home gym to find Korra at the punching bag, hitting and kicking in rapid-fire sequences. Asami was temporarily mesmerized by the fluid grace of Korra’s movements coupled with the immense power that fueled them. She had clearly been at it for a while, if the rivulets of sweat dripping down the small of her back were any indication. Asami had half a mind to collect them with her tongue…

“Stupid fucking-“ Korra spat with a particularly strong kick to the bag, followed by a one-two punch. “-bullshit, what do they know-“

Asami frowned. Korra had mellowed considerably in the years they’d been together and it seemed unlike her to be so upset, especially so early in the day.

"Are you okay, love?” Asami asked. Korra jumped and spun around mid-swing.

“Ah, ‘Sams, you scared me.”

"Sorry." Asami pressed a kiss to the crown of Korra's head. "I wanted to see you before I left for work. What’s got you so upset?"

"You haven't seen?"

"Seen what?"

Korra's eyes blazed. She bent down to retrieve a piece of newsprint that lay crumpled on the floor next to the free weights.

"The fucking... poll."

Asami looked at the crinkled paper. The headline of whatever section this was (Living? Culture?) proclaimed "Republic City's Hottest Dame! YOU Decide!"

Asami snickered.

"This is supposed to be news? They’ll print anything these days.”

“Keep reading!” Korra insisted.

Asami skimmed through the article, something about giving the citizens the power to choose the city’s most attractive woman by mail-in ballot, until she came upon her own name.

“Asami Sato, CEO of Future Industries and wife to Avatar Korra, was a shocking casualty of the second round of voting, losing by a slim margin to Republic City Police Chief Lin Beifong, the new statistical favorite moving forward in the competition.”

Asami laughed.

“Good for Lin! She’s beautiful, the people are right. Maybe this’ll help her learn to take a compliment.”

Korra stared at her.

“But they chose her over you!” Korra exclaimed. “You, of all people! You! Have you seen yourself? There’s never been a more beautiful woman in the history of the world! It’s an outrage!”

Asami smiled and pulled Korra into an embrace, not minding at all that she was now at least 20% as covered in sweat.

“You’re so sweet.”

“I’m not sweet, I’m right!” Korra protested. “I mean, yeah, Beifong’s pretty hot, I’ll admit it, but these people have the nerve— the fucking nerve— to say that my wife isn’t Republic City’s ‘hottest dame?’”

“People have different tastes.”

Korra still glared in the direction of the newspaper in Asami’s hand

“You really don’t need to be offended on my behalf,” Asami reassured, releasing Korra from her hold. She sniffed exaggeratedly and pretended to wipe a tear from her eye. “I promise, I’ll make it through somehow.”

“Okay,” Korra grumbled. “I was going to go have a word with the editor of the Republic News, but I probably don’t have to do that, huh.”

“Nah, it’s all good.”

A moment later, a thought occurred to Asami.

“Wait a minute, are you in that competition?”

“Yeah, I think so,” Korra said nonchalantly.

Asami read through the remaining contestants.

“Yes, you are! And hey, look, you made it through this round!”

“Heh, good for me.”

“I was going to say,” Asami chuckled. “If you weren’t, I’d lose all faith in the people of Republic City.”

The softly flattered look in Korra’s big blue eyes was too much. Asami pulled her in for a kiss, letting it express anything more she might have said about how incredibly lucky she felt that Korra was in her life. Korra kissed back eagerly and held her tight.

“So,” Korra said, eventually coming up for air. “Should we look at the rest of the bracket and place our bets?”

“Yeah,” Asami laughed and opened the spread to see the full bracket of contenders. “Wait a minute… is that my mom?”

who up wanting to go home but they are home !

#txt #is this anything? we’ll see #tmg #ahwt #riches and wonders

[deianara-crush]

i am having many thoughts about “riches and wonders” this evening and so i will be sharing them here. i know JD’s personal interpretation of the couple in the song is that they are happy together for the time being, but that the “i wanna go home, but i am home” line is largely an admission that they do NOT feel at home together (season 1 episode 8 of IOLTTMG).

HOWEVER, i have decided i am going to ignore this interpretation because of the surrounding lyrics. i just personally think the second verse really does me in. this is a couple that has baggage. they have issues; maybe those issues rub up against each other sometimes, but the lines “you find shelter somewhere in me, i find great comfort in you” and then later “i keep you safe from harm, and you hold me in your arms” is really giving the song a “despite everything, we still have each other” energy.

for me personally, that changes the meaning of “i wanna go home, but i am home” to a brief sense of feeling lost, only to realize that their relationship is home. riches and wonders is a beautiful love story between broken people, and i like to think they are making it work.

okay this is very random, but I was listening to music while cooking breakfast this morning and Trixie Mattel's cover of Jackson she did with Orville Peck came on and I somehow ended up just thinking about Bull and Ehsaan and had a very good morning after that

so just know I love them and I am Thinking about them shkjfhdkjsa

no exaggeration i have probably listened to that song 30 times since you sent this 3 weeks ago, and it’s been sitting in my inbox because i told myself i wanted to do a little sketch to post with it and then did this instead 💛

[ID: the iron bull and inquisitor adaar, about to kiss in a small farmhouse kitchen. they are both in modern western wear—both in jeans, and the bull in a pink button down and adaar in a short-sleeved yellow shirt with roses embroidered on the back. adaar has a hand on the bull’s cheek, and the bull is resting a hand on adaar’s ass. end ID]
