Katara wrapped her skin around herself, slipping from human to seal. She paused on the shore for a moment, then slithered through the surf until the sand fell away beneath her flippers.

For the first time since she was a child, she swam. She arrowed through the too-warm, too-bright water. Instincts rose up as if she'd never left the ocean, never become a human girl for her mother, never stayed a human girl for her father. Fish-motion caught her eye, and she gave chase, delighting in her swiftness and grace. Teeth closed around a fish, and she swallowed it down happily.

She should have come back to the ocean a long time ago.

Sokka should have been with her. He should have, but he'd all but thrown his skin at Suki. The Earth girl didn't even know what she had, didn't know anything.

(Aang didn't know anything either, not about the important things. Not about the sealskin she left lying around oh-so casually.)

At least Yue had known what Sokka had offered her ( ... )

This is so cool and an instant favorite. (I'm gonna have to look up some Selkie legends now)

Thank you! Selkie legends are some of my favorite Celtic fairytales. Very sad, almost inevitably. *has some selkie songs laying around someplace too*

Kataang. :DDD

Kataang four times, and not incredibly BORING Kataang! I. I do not even know what to say to that it is beautiful. Especially this one. This one is sooo very pretty. *strokes it* I really like how Katara does/doesn't want her freedom and how upset she is about the difference between Suki and Yue (Sokka, you manslut <3) and Aang just not getting it and ahhhhhnoself you CANNOT write the epic story of selkie!Katara and Sokka and their respective romances, you cannot.

But this piece definitely makes me want to.
ALL THAT, AND DELICIOUS PENGUINS.

You're welcome! <333

Man, Kataang is both harder and easier than I thought it would be. BUT SELKIES MAKE EVERYTHING EASY AND AWESOME. So yeah. Selkies! I would love epic story of selkie!Katara and Sokka as much as I would love dealwithit!Jetko.

Delicious, delicious penguins!
