    Summary

    There were still images that intruded like a light-drunk moth, flapping erratically across her field of vision, demanding her attention. She saw Korra in a classmate who wore the same shade of blue nail polish as she had, keeping up the color even in the muck of the outdoors. She saw Korra every time she went swimming, picturing the way she would routinely hide behind the dock on the lake, fingertips hanging off the edge, trying to stay in the water even after the lifeguard had left. And she especially saw Korra when she encountered snakes; occasionally harmless rat snakes would drop from the trees in the park by her house, and she would make an effort to coax them out of roads and pathways, remembering the deliberate way Korra had cared for the one she had found.

    Asami had spend years frustrated with herself that she couldn’t seem to let go of this…what was it, even? Obsession was too strong of a word, because it wasn’t like she was consumed with thoughts of Korra every waking moment, but fascination? Regret? A missed opportunity.
