  <title>[Avatar] Inherit the Wind 1/?</title>
  <link>https://gaisce.dreamwidth.org/113111.html</link>
  <description>Hiding this here because I haven&apos;t finished anything in so long, it&apos;s killing me. Progress, whatever. Ugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title:&lt;/b&gt; Inherit the Wind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Avatar: the Last Airbender&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rating:&lt;/b&gt; PG/Y-7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Genre:&lt;/b&gt; Gen/Adventure/Character Study&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warnings and pairings:&lt;/b&gt; Post-series with spoilers for everything, especially the finale. Use of supplemental non-official “canon” of the card game and fanon theories. Canon pairings mentioned and some Ty Lee/Azula subtext if you squint, or at least acknowledgment of a (very dysfunctional) friendship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wordcount:&lt;/b&gt; 4,265&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; With the war finally over, Ty Lee tries to find her place in the world. But when she discovers she is a descendant of the Air Nomads, the chance to explore her newfound heritage dredges up secrets hidden for a hundred years and may force her to confront everything she left behind when she joined the Kyoshi Warriors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://gaisce.dreamwidth.org/113111.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Chapter 1: Samsara&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=gaisce&amp;ditemid=113111&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
