READ "BROTHERHOOD" FIRST. This is an interim piece to bridge the gap between the events of "Brotherhood" and its upcoming sequel, "Dragonborn." It will be fluffy, domestic, somewhat dramatic, and expository. Full summary inside.

For the first time in a long time, they lie back and just let themselves breathe. They've been through hardships and trauma that no one should ever have to endure, but it's okay, because they've managed to find a safe space in one another. (Rated T for now, but it might change if I decide to write more.)

They're going on a vacation together, just the two of them, alone. Everything about that should scream romance, and it totally, definitely, absolutely would if either one of them were a man. But they're both women, and Korra's more than a little worried that she's misreading Asami's affectionate behavior... But what if she isn't?
