Summary
Ty Lee stays quiet, which is unusual. Normally she’s pointing out how pretty the moon looks by now, or gossiping about their classmates, or suggesting they stargaze. But instead, she has fixed her gaze to the horizon, brow furrowed. Mai wants to smooth it out.
After what feels like an eternity, Ty Lee speaks, keeping her eyes on the mountains that fade into nothingness far, far away. Her voice is a birdsong above the rustling of leaves below.
“I’m leaving.”
Oh.
[Mai and Ty Lee's last night together at the Academy.]

Summary
Ty Lee has no prior haircutting experience, but she has never been good at turning Mai down. She knows, also, that if Mai’s hair were to be cut by a professional, it would require a stranger to stand behind her, blade in hand, fingers in Mai’s hair.
Mai does not trust anyone apart from Ty Lee with something like that.
So they’re here, with Ty Lee holding a knife to Mai’s hair, hands held steady only by the knowledge of Mai’s faith in her.
or, the inherent intimacy of cutting your girlfriend's hair

Summary
“Seriously,” Azula says. “Whatever you’re worried about being revealed isn’t going to come to light unless you want it to.”
(That’s the problem, though - Mai thinks maybe she does want that. If the island spills her secret, then she doesn’t have to worry about doing it herself.)
ember island reveals the true you, but mai is still trying to figure out who the 'true her' is

Summary
For the next two months, Ty Lee fills the sketchbook with little things that remind her of Mai. She draws her sharpened knives, her glossy hair, her slender hands and delicate fingers. And of course, she fills in pages and pages with just her eyes.
Because as emotionless as Mai seems, her eyes always tell a different story.

Summary
Mai stared at her, unable to turn away even with the realization of what she was doing, what she was thinking.
Ty Lee’s brush stilled on her lip, and Mai watched helplessly as a pair of grey eyes inched to the side to look right at her. By now, Mai had twisted her head to the side, brush forgotten on the vanity, staring openly. She had been hypnotized. And now that she’d been caught, she just kept on staring, slack jawed.

Mai and Ty Lee put on their war paint to go undercover as Kyoshi Warriors.

Summary
mailee week day 6: college au
She could lean in, just a little. Cross the small distance left between them and press her lips to Ty Lee’s, softer and sweeter than she could ever imagine in her dreams; sling her arms around her neck and give in to the wanting she has been carrying with her for years.
But these mere inches are an ocean, a distance she can’t cross. Shouldn’t cross.
“I have to go.”
[They’re at a party, and Mai and Ty Lee almost kiss.]

Summary
Ty Lee giggles as Mai slides back into bed, immediately latching onto her arm. She takes a slice of pizza almost greedily, but before she eats it, she pauses. Turns to Mai. Leans forward to place a soft kiss on her lips.
Mai’s eyebrows raise in surprise. “Wow. Me over the pizza?”
“Always,” Ty Lee nods seriously, her heart jumping when Mai drops her a kiss back.

Summary
If the world were only them, Mai would fall asleep just like this - Ty Lee’s hair tickling her neck, the weight against her shoulder both grounding and comforting. They could fall asleep like this and not have to worry about Mai’s mother finding them still lying like this come sunrise. In a nicer, kinder, world, Mai would not have to watch every move she makes.
She doesn’t know the meaning of the swirling warmth in her stomach whenever Ty Lee touches her, but she knows it is not something she should indulge in.
five times mai & ty lee have to be careful when sharing a bed + one time they're allowed to hold onto each other

Summary
“You’re leaving?”
Ty Lee nodded, clenching and unclenching her fists in her lap. “Yeah. Tomorrow morning.”
Mai stared at her, gaze unwaveringly blank. “Why…” she paused. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
There it was—the question Ty Lee didn’t have an answer to. What was she supposed to say? It was a last minute decision (half-truth)? That she was too scared to tell the only person in her life that actually cared about her that she was joining the circus? She was a coward through and through.
“I’m sorry,” she said eventually.
[or, ty lee leaves for the circus tomorrow morning and has one night left with mai]

mailee week day 3: hair
It has been years, but the motions are familiar, still. Her fingers slip into an easy rhythm, a remnant from the time when this was a regular occurrence, when they were young and foolish and didn’t know they shouldn’t. When they hadn’t yet learned that this was something to be hidden.
[In the prison, Ty Lee asks Mai to braid her hair. Mai struggles with wanting.]
