Imagine if Zuko's role and life and bloodline was taken even more extreme by the developers and writers and decided to make Zuko a descendent of Avatar Wan by making Sozin a descendent.

In the darkest of nights,
The quietest of moments,
Amidst the harshest of cold winds,
Laying in the loud of the silence
The moonlight glints
The abyss grins
The shadows grow
The eyes stare
He stands petrified
Breath shallow and ragged
Eyes wide in terror
Mouth open in horror
In the past, he visits
In the present, he is
In the dark, he lies
In the pain, he lives
He hears laughing
He smells burning
He sees smiling
He feels he is hurting
A ghostly touch
Yet so painful
He cries
He begs
No one listens
Everyone laughs
They point and stare
Now they whisper and glare
The past of his
A lesson they teach
Experience he has
Pain he befriends
He remembers, words from him
He recalls, cries of his
They talk, the begging he did
They mutter, the sinful deed
Burning hot white pain
Tears streaming down his other eye
He sees, atop of him, his father
Grinning with a wild look in his eyes
Of many things, he wonders
Of his sisters crazed giggles
Of his uncle's cowardly response
Of his mother's absence
Of his father's abuse
Of his ignorance
Ignorance that caused the death of many
The losses of his
He cries
He sins
He watches
He tries
He helps
He rages
He whimpers
He wakes up
He's in another hell
And he thinks,
Only the demon of their hell
Finds it to their liking
He smiles
He's tired
He ages
He's alone
Once more
One last time
One more moment
He dreams
I’m really sad that, since Beautiful Audrey isn’t a famous Korean movie, the soundtrack doesn’t have lyrics on YouTube.
If you like Park Ji-Hoon from “Weak Hero Class 1 & 2” or “At a Distance, Spring is Green”, then you should watch Beautiful Audrey.
Songs from Beautiful Audrey that I really liked:
“My Name” - Mother’s (Kim Jung-Nan) theme [singer unknown]
“I'm Sorry” Ji-Eun’s (Kim Bo-Young) theme, song to her mother [Singer : Kim Seohyun]
“I'm Sorry” English Version

It's been, what, months? I think, since I've read this series. And, it just stuck to me. I love it a lot. So I'm sharing it with you, guys. It's a DabiHawks fanfiction, with Rumi/Fuyumi, and Natsuo/Shigaraki on the side. It feels real. For me. The type of slice-of-life that feels like it's really taken from the pages of someone's story. Touya is extraordinary in this, so multi-talented and skilled, someone worthy of admiration. Takami is also beautifully written here. I am not really great at expressing my thoughts and feelings, it's the sort of things that just feels like a beautiful blob inside your chest. You cannot describe its beauty for words cannot find you.
So, I cannot write a meaningful review. But I love it. I hope you do too.
It's “Paper Mountains, Glass Seas” by Bittermoons on Archive of Our Own. I do not know if they have a Tumblr, though.
