for director's commentary meme - star emoji on hold me like you do, cover me in blue ???? please!!

lmao so it's largely known that hmlyd was meant to be the epilogue of a much larger story (as was the bonus chpt from gold in the air of summer), and bc of that there's a lot of details that didn't make it in, including: izumi <3

the story actually largely revolved around her as like this big 5+1 pining/getting together fic (i still have scenes that i want to spruce up and post at some point), but...i quickly realized that i was never going to finish the thing, especially when what i really wanted to write was the hair braiding scene lol

it didn't take much for me to rework the fic to pull her out...but you may be able to tell that the following line was one of the spots where she was originally mentioned:

He hadn’t been expecting to see Sokka again so soon, after only briefly crossing paths earlier at the beginning of the tour. Enlisted in helping one of the schoolteachers transport her students, Sokka couldn’t do much talking and was really only able to give Zuko a quick wave as he passed by, too busy being deep in an animated conversation with a captivated five-year-old in his arms.

(i am sad tho that i couldn't include the tiny bit of a scene where zuko didn't mind the cold but izumi was decidedly Unsure about it until sokka convinced her it was fun to play in the snow lol)
