Love is Hard When You Are Young

[hongyueg]

Happy New Year! I finally finished a fanfic I started five years ago. It's an ATLA fic takes place in the same AU as two other fics I wrote in 2020. I have changed so much since I began writing this fic, and there were several moments where I had decided to give up or not publish the story, but I recently felt motivated to complete and share the fic. If you have watched the Avatar Chibi Short - School Time Shipping, you may recognize some of the references I make in the fic. I wish you a happy start to 2026! 🌟
