A [[Flash Fiction|brief]] [[Slice of Life]] [http://archiveofourown.org/works/3909817 fanfic] based on ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'', written by Ao3[[Archive of Our Own|AO3]] user RhazadeWaterbender.
 
It's set just after the finale of Book 3, and involves a twelve-year-old girl reading a newspaper article about the events of said finale while waiting for the school bus. Details about the viewpoint character emerge throughout the narrative.
Line 11:
* [[Flash Fiction]]: Clocks in at just over 200 words.
* [[Give Her a Normal Life]]: Implied{{spoiler|, although the choice wasn't made by her biological parents}}.
* [[Happily Adopted]]: Hakini draws a distinction between "[[Good Parents|her parents]]" and the (unknown to her) "people who'd brought her into the world."
* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: She's a twelve-year-old student, described as gangly and awkward, who—at a confirmed height of 5'11" and still growing—is already promising to be taller than her adoptive father. {{spoiler|(Not too surprising, considering that her birth mother was 6'8"...)}}
* [[Nameless Narrative]]: Canon characters are mentioned, but not named. Hakini's name (the author has admitted that, when it was written, she hadn't yet actually been ''given'' one) and those of her adoptive parents [[No Name Given|are not revealed in the story proper]].
