Summary
Paranoid, lonely, and depressed, you develop a fixation with watching your neighbors. Maybe one neighbor in specific.
Joel Miller, who's always been there despite your complete lack of social graces.
But even Joel has his limits. And you wouldn't be able to object if him finding you peeping through his window one night ended up being a major one.

Summary
It’s Ellie who notices you first, halfway into their first year in Jackson.
“Did you know that one weird mute lady down the street makes bread?” she demands as she storms into the living room, clutching a wrapped loaf of bread. “And she just gives it away?”
“She ain’t weird just ‘cause she don’t talk, Ellie,” Joel sighs wearily as he sits up on the couch he had been sprawled across.
“Okay, she’s weird ‘cause she keeps to herself, then.” Ellie aims a raised eyebrow back at him. “Sound familiar?”
[In which Joel helps his quiet neighbor open Jackson's first bakery, and she makes fast friends with Ellie by plying her with baked goods.]

Summary
He wasn’t even supposed to spend the night - she’d told him as much in the morning as she asked him to leave, didn’t even offer him an empty 'maybe I’ll see you around, sometime.' Just a one time thing, a clean break. But a few hours later, she’d gone in search of breakfast and noticed the bright yellow sticky note above her doorknob, with his full name and phone number scrawled across the middle and a smiley face in one corner.
She rolled her eyes, dropped it onto the stack of papers on her drafting table, and told herself she would throw it away later.
But - for some reason that Annabeth can’t quite rationalize - she never did.
Funny how things work out.

Summary
The thought occurs to her randomly, while she’s at work. She’s assisting a young woman who had just been in a car accident— a teenager, really— with her pregnancy. Katara has her sitting on an examination table, her round belly exposed, water-covered fingers hovering above her skin. There’s a small mass, a heartbeat and a whorl of chi that she can feel, pressing back against her. Katara describes the entire process, and the girl smiles at her uncertainly throughout, a look of wonderment on her face. “And to think,” she whispers. “In the beginning, I’d been praying to get my period. Now, I feel so relieved.”
The distant part of her that can still feel wants to commiserate. She wants to laugh, pat her shoulder, and say, “A baby can change everything, huh? Isn’t life so ironic?”
And then it hits her, like a bolt of lightning down her spine— I can’t remember the last time I had mine.
Or:
Love is a form of energy that swirls all around us, and is reborn.

Summary
“Because he’s a monk, genius. He works on Air Temple Island.”
Katara’s mouth rounds. She’s not entirely sure why she’s shocked. Aang being a monk seems rather obvious, now, given the shaved head and tattoos, but she supposes it must be his age. Every Air Nomad monk she’s met— of which there hasn’t been many, admittedly— has been old, gray, and wizened.
And, objectively, she thinks, glancing at him. Gray eyes flick away. Not as good-looking.
Or:
This is a love story.

Summary
She knew his kisses well, the feeling of his lips against hers, the smell of him as he pulled her closer, and the overwhelming feelings each one stirred inside of her. They were expressive yes, but not just the vehicle for affection like she had so naively thought as they'd shared far too many for her to ignore the silent words each spoke. They said what mere words never could.
.
.
Or the progression of love and growth, through shared kisses and the beating of two hearts as one.Bookmarked by star_lightbb

Summary
Aang knew grief like an old friend. In his youth, it had been painful to grapple with the idea that the Air Nomads were gone, that he was truly alone. He knew deep down that no matter what he did, that weight on his shoulders was so heavy it would follow him into his next life. Spirits help his successor.
But this time, it was different. This was new. The emptiness that often accompanied the pit in Aang’s stomach was replaced with something sickening. His body rejected the possibility of Bumi’s death like poison. It wasn’t real. He had to be alive.
OR: When he's 19, Bumi II gets hurt in the United Forces and his family is told he is missing in action. Aang and Katara try to be there for their son and Tenzin and Kya navigate the new dynamic as friends and family rally aorund them. We explore family dynamics, being biracial, trauma, and being okay with being not okay.
