see the sky and sea (and remember me)
VI. begonia (海棠)
Story Summary: Sixteen-year-old Katara was about to partake in the most important ceremony of her life: a rite of passage through the human world as a dolphin. But then everything goes horribly wrong, and a boy sacrifices himself to save her. She brings him back to life with magic, but at costs not even she could've imagined. AU based upon the movie 大鱼海棠. Multi-chapter.
Chapter Summary:
Sokka and Katara raced over the grassy plains, guided by the cobblestone path. Katara lugged a big bucket that sloshed with water while Sokka forged ahead with the lantern.
“It’s good we managed to act so quickly,” Sokka panted as they sprinted down the path. “If they found Adlartok, we would’ve been done for!”
“Well,” Katara huffed, unable to resist making a jab, “you can thank my ‘magic water’ for speeding it up, then!”
Sokka groaned in exasperation, which only filled Katara with a vindictive satisfaction. “Don’t you let anything go?” he complained, sounding chagrined. “I was only seven!”
Katara gave him the sweetest, most exaggerated look of innocence she could muster. “Never.”
Sokka shuddered. “Remind me not to get on your bad side.”
Katara was about to send another jab at him when she caught sight of something and halted abruptly. Sokka skidded to a stop a split second later, just barely managing to avoid crashing into her.

Katara and Sokka try to keep Adlartok hidden—with devastating consequences.

Fireworks exploded above the tulou building, illuminating the night sky with a brilliant array of colors: blue, red, green, yellow, purple, and much more. The colored sparks burst into glittering images before sizzling out, leaving only a trail of smoke in their wake. Lanterns of all different shapes and sizes bobbed up and down in the breeze, tied down to the foot of the building.
The curtains of a stall snapped open. “Aha! I gotchu!” But Lee’s triumph quickly fell away when he looked around and realized that there was no one hiding inside. His annoyance mounting, he snapped the curtains shut and stalked off, scanning the area with the steely focus of a saber-tooth moose lion on the hunt.
He scrambled up one of the trees overlooking the celebration, squinting down at the people below. There was Grandmaster Iroh, the most powerful wielder alive—though he couldn’t remember everyone in the White Lotus, Lee at least knew him. There were the two scary teens with the weird tattoos on their foreheads—he didn’t like them all that much. There were his parents, chatting with other parents—probably boring grown up talk. There was his brother Sensu, talking to his friends.
But no sign of Lee’s.
“Where did you guys go?” he muttered in frustration, scanning the area again. When it was clear to him that they weren’t anywhere in plain sight, he slid down the tree and thought to himself. He was pretty sure he had checked every possible hiding spot in this place—twice. So if they weren’t here, he reasoned, they must be outside.
