In another world, fate was just a little bit kinder
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#original characters#sotrl midori#sotrl haya#seeds of the red lotus#look I was feeling extremely emotional recently. and thought about how different life would be for my OCs if Haya was good#and I'm a sucker for AUs like that. it's spiritually healing. so of course I had to draw something for it#I originally wanted to draw a companion piece for suiren too but then thought it was just rehashing the idea#and I draw Suiren a lot already anyways so decided to just take the excuse to draw adorable little Midori and run with it#I have quite a few thoughts about an AU like this too. it starts out like sotrl does. haya gives them the cold shoulder and is kinda mean#but then the news of the rl's imprisonment reach gaoling. haya is shellshocked at first. distances herself and sends the girls to their room#pretends she can't hear the crying. but really she wants to cry too because as estranged as they are. ghazan is still her little brother#she indulges late that night after she think the girls are asleep. deep buried trauma from losing her parents resurfaces#but then she hears footsteps behind her. Midori is awake. haya wants to be angry at first but finds she has no energy to#they talk a little. the warm glow of candlelight catches midori's eyes and their grey shade turns gold. she looks so much like him#haya realises Midori is even younger than ghazan was when they lost their parents. suiren is half the age haya herself was#no one cared for her and ghazan back then. she won't let history repeat itself#so she reaches for midori. heart skipping a beat when she lights up slightly. and takes her into her arms#holds her close as midori hugs her back. if she closes her eyes it almost feels like she’s 14 again. holding her brother#she swears then that she’ll be as good of a guardian to these girls as she can so they don’t end up like their parents did. like haya did#it’s a long road to unlearn her bitterness but she tries her best. it’s easier with midori who soaks in affection like a sponge#Midori’s happiness is infectious. with suiren it’s much more difficult bc the prejudice Haya holds against the swamp are still there#as is the hatred for their mother. it isn’t until the townspeople start calling Suiren a swamp rat does haya snap#she no longer cares about getting alienated from the community that barely welcomed her anyway. she will defend her niece from them all#it’s the first time she calls suiren her niece. they talk too and Haya apologises for favouring Midori and starts working on fixing it#their life together isn’t perfect. the townspeople side eye them. they can’t afford bending teachers. Haya still has to bite her tongue#but it’s so much better than what could have been had Haya let her pain consume her and started to take it out on the girls. they’re happy#I have so much more to say and theorise about when it comes to this au but alas. tag limits are a thing. so I’m leaving this here
