Summary: Bolin-centric past (14yo), headcanons ahoy, an OC, undertones of Borra… Bolin goes back into his mind to the moment he gained two new friends, one of them being Pabu. Meant to be read prior to season 1 finale, not sure how it will hold up after.
Notes: I’m not quite sure where this came from. I’m not even sure what to say about it, other than it really hurt to write, and I cried several times. That’s honestly never happened before. Sorry if there are mistakes or typing errors or run-ons, I’m trying to rush to get this up in the four hours before the finale. I love you, fandom. You’re amazing and it’s been a really fantastic season together. xoxo oreides

Summary: events after the most recent episode, “Out of the Past”, heavy on the Borra but with Makorra/Masami/Brosami aspects.
Notes: This ended up being a little stranger/more melancholy than I expected, and upon reflection I think this comes from a place that desperately wants character development- this show moves so fast, quiet moments alone are rare. I also noticed some weird parallels I didn’t really intend, like everyone’s idle hands on fur/beard/scarf and moments of anxiety. -shrug- But, without further ado..

Summary: Bolin’s adjusting to Air Temple Island swimmingly, but he’s worried about Korra. Some adorkable Bolin confessions ensue. (Mostly focuses on Bolin’s POV.)
Notes: okay, guys, I haven’t written fanfiction since… like, before AtLA aired. also I’m used to writing comic scripts so I can get awfully repetitive outside of dialogue. in any case, I’ve had these scenes and conversations floating around my head, sort of my ultimate Borra headcanon, for days now. it’s some sort of early Christmas miracle that I wrote something I’d actually post. definitely not perfect, but you shall have abundant Borra feels. please- comment, criticize, whatever you feel like, I should be posting edits later. thanks!
