Freedom (Tarrlok & Amon/Noatak) 2/2

[langs_de_lijn]

‘I saw what it did you to!’ and he had to bite his tongue not to argue again, that is wasn’t bloodbending but politics, that it had been the threat of Amon and a civil war that had changed him, because this was almost an apology for everything and he wasn’t going to get one any better than this. ‘You defied him, and then you refused to come with me because of our mother who never even knew what was happening to us,’ and that wasn’t fair, how could she know if they’d never told her, it wasn’t her fault, ‘and then even you resorted to bloodbending. I had to do it.’

‘What about you?’ he whispered, quietly.

‘I was too far gone even by the time I ran away,’ he admitted. ‘And I always thought you were the strong one.’

‘You didn’t,’ he said. ‘You said-’

‘I know what I said. I said what I thought. You refused him, and then you had to live with him after I left. It can’t have been easy. I’m sorry.’

He stayed silent again. He couldn’t think of anything to say and he didn’t trust himself to speak anyway.

‘I was going to ask you to run away with me again,’ Noatak admitted.

‘I wouldn’t have come.’

‘I was thinking of staying to face the consequences this time,’ he continued.

‘If you’d asked now, I would have.’

‘I can’t give you your bending back.’

‘I know,’ he said, even if he doubted that was true. He wasn’t sure there were any limits to his brother’s talents.

‘If we stay, we’ll only be serving father’s sentence in his place.’

‘If we run, are we any better than him?’

‘I’m not leaving you again. It’s your choice.’

He thought about it, but it wasn’t much of a choice. If they stayed, Noatak would lose his bending, too, and they’d spend the rest of their lives rotting in a prison cell somewhere. It would be fair, and just, and all those things, but fairness and justice and prison hadn’t stopped their father, either. If they left, they could try to build another life, one that was free from the legacy of their father and his vengeance and his lessons.

‘I think we’ve both spent all our lives paying for this.’

OP: Afhejrqfksbhakjgdfwe THAT WAS SO FANTASTIC! The last line was magnificent and the transition between "Noatak is a horrible brother" to "WTF Tarrlok you blood bended me" was smooth and perfect and you deserve major kudos. Thank yo so much for sharing this!

Uh, wow. So this is pretty much fantastic in every single way possible. You captured the bloodbending brothers perfectly, and the sheer amount of feels in this was just eafjkrghfafdsg
