A Matter of Life and Death by HoHFics
Fandoms: Avatar: Legend of Korra, A Matter of Life and Death (1946)
07 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
Korra's plane crashes into spirit vines and instead of dying, lands on a beach. She must appeal her case for the right to live in front of a celestial jury in the Other World.
This is loosely based off of the 1946 film A Matter of Life and Death, but of course I have made it fit with canon and taken many gay liberties.
*
“You,” the revelation fell from Asami’s lips with no warning. Over the last three years wondered if this was a secret she would ever take to her grave. What hope had she to know that it would be the other way around. “I’m in love with you Korra.”
“I-” the world goes quickly quiet, followed by concentric waves of sound rushing from the epicentre of the bomb exploding above them, mid air. It swells angry and pulsing, but as fast as it came shrinks in on itself, guzzling airship and smoke until it’s transformed.
The sky sings purple for a second time and sends spirit energy and debris screaming into the night. The threat is gone. Ash and sparks rain down on the city as harmless as fireflies. Korra, her plane, her enemies, vanished without a trace.
If there was one certainty from such a sight, it was that not even an Avatar could survive that.

Summary
Asami lets out a little ‘oof’ as her back hits the wall, and it’s so adorable, even if Korra’s mind is currently somewhere decidedly less innocent. Namely, all the other sounds that she knows that Asami can make.
“You have to…..game,” Asami stammers, and it never ceases to amaze Korra that she has this type of influence on her. Because seriously, just look at Asami.
“I have time,” Korra says softly, and even she can hear how gravely and wrecked her voice is. They haven’t even done anything yet, but it’s just hitting her deep in the core of her very being, the fact that Asami’s wearing her ‘jersey’ and has her name across her back.
Like she’s Korra’s.
(Asami organizes a Fire Ferrets reunion to raise money for charity, and Korra learns something about herself)

It’s clear that there is only one way for her to help the Equalists: to get close to the Avatar and spy on her. Asami feels no guilt taking this mission, after all, she’s doing the right thing isn’t she?

Summary
Korra and Asami were assigned to be roommates for their freshman year of college, and Korra doesn't know what to make of her. On the one hand, Asami is nice and brilliant, but on the other, she's really weird. Asami almost never talks, hates loud noises, prefers the dark, and pretty much never sleeps. Korra has to try to make sense of her roommate's behaviors as they navigate their first year at school.

Korra's a badass basketball player, but she wasn't ready for #22, Sato, who is equally as badass. But pretty. Pretty hot. And nice. Damnit.
Her frustration lands them in an awkward position.
Inspired by that THAT ONE HANDBALL GIF. Rated T for language.

Summary
Korra is the Avatar, but she's in over her head and behind on her monster-slaying studies, not helped in the least by her tendency to goof off. She should be the top of her class, but a traumatic past holds her back from reaching her true potential.
Enter: Asami Sato. Cool, suave, and more than a little mysterious. Looks like our little Avatar is about to have her world flipped upside down...
A modern AU set in a world not unlike our own, with a satisfying blend of angst, comedy and romance.
