Asami,
I hope this letter finds you well. Things have been, well, weird. They've been really weird. I can't say much about it, but I don't know how to be the avatar anymore. I'm weak, I'm broken. I thought I could save the world, Asami. I thought I was the strongest thing there was! I thought I was helping people.
Please don't tell Mako and Bolin I'm talking to you. In fact, please don't tell anyone. Can we keep it secret? I just don't want anyone to know what I'm up to. I'm sorry I failed everyone. I'm sorry for failing Republic City. I'm sorry for... for taking Mako from you. I just showed up from nowhere and ruined everything between you two. I don't know how to make up for that. I know I made a mess and just disappeared, but I didn't know what else to do.
Every time I try to fix anything, I feel like I make it worse. And now I'm weak. I'm nothing. I was so brave. I'm a husk, a shell. I've been seeing things. I've been hearing things. The spirits are trying to talk to me, but it's so hard to hear them! I can't believe I'm so cut off from my own spirit, I don't even feel like I'm in my body half the time. Sorry, I know this is depressing. Is that okay? My letters won't be very happy. I'm sorry. I'm just... Sorry.
I hope to hear from you, Asami. You'll understand me, right? Thanks anyway. How are you? How are you handling everything? I miss driving in your car with our friends. I wish we could have had that instead of how it really ended. Just you, me, Mako, and Bolin driving down the open road listening to the radio.
I'm so bad at ending letters. So,
Korra, signing off.

My Dearest Korra,
Thank you for writing. I'll admit, I didn't really know what to expect when I saw your letter. I'm relieved you're alive. I understand that you tried your hardest and did what you could for everyone. Don't worry, our correspondence is secret between us.
I'm sorry you've been going through so much. I can't imagine what it's like to lose your attachments like that. Things here have been chaotic to say the least. After everything with my father, I can at least sympathize with how you feel. I'm sorry for a lot, too. I don't mind your depressing letters, Korra. You never have to worry about that kind of thing with me. I get it. Honestly, it breaks my heart to know you're hurting with nobody there. Are you completely on your own? Please tell me you at least have Naga with you!
I have been trying to handle the company as best I can. It's been very hectic, but the details would probably bore you. I am working on a few designs these days for something good! I want to help keep peace for the world, but I don't want to hurt people to do it. My dad was right that we need to be able to defend ourselves, but the way he went about it was all wrong. I know it's hard to understand as the most powerful bender in the world, but as a nonbender, you know you won't always be able to hold your own against someone. I mean, as high profile as I am, I could run into someone who can literally throw lava at my face, and I'm supposed to sit by and hope someone comes to my defense?
Like I said, I don't agree with my father and what he did, but nonbenders need protection. And because I think like this, that's why you can still keep in touch, right? You know I'm the most sympathetic towards both sides. I'm not ready to forgive that man for what he has done, but Korra, you didn't do anything wrong. You were trying to save us. You're a good friend, and I'm delighted to hear from you!
I want to drive around Republic City with you and go to all the best cafes. I know you're more of an open road kind of girl, but I like the city backdrop. It's exciting, it keeps you on your toes. Still, I think about those twilight joyrides out to the country with you and the boys and can practically feel the chill of wind slapping my face. Those little minutes of peace were everything for me when you first arrived and we were all hanging out. I hate that things got so messy with all of that dating drama. We... should definitely clear that up some day. For now, please don't worry about it. You're my best friend, Korra. Whatever happens with anyone else, you and I are good.
Love, your great friend

OoC: I hope this is good! I'm rewatching the show rn to brush up my Asami tone! I like your Korra!
And here's some art of them. It's my first time drawing them!!!

Asami,
All I can say is, thank you for understanding about all the dark stuff. I don't want to get too into it. Right now, I'm just happy to hear back from you, and I'm glad you understand. I knew you would.
I'm honestly relieved that with all the fear you have, you're still sympathetic towards benders. I started really worrying about your protection too, you know? I miss driving and being with Team Avatar, too! Don't worry, I'm never alone these days. Me? You know I'm doing awesome Avatar stuff with or without my powers!
Today, I went and had a great time sparring with some real chumps! I've been getting stronger again. I'll probably be back to myself in no time! I mean, I can take down all the boys with one fist! Okay, it takes both fists, but I can still do it. After that, we went and had some EXCELLENT spicy eel! Dude, it was mindblowing! It was nice to have good food and good company. Man, there was one guy telling all these jokes, him and Bolin would have been best friends.
I've been thinking a lot about nonbenders and how to protect everyone. You've made me think a lot about it Asami. I worry all the time about your safety. I mean, look... Amon captured me, I've lost a lot of my abilities, I was so WEAK. I went from being the strongest, most unstoppable force to an absolute empty little shell full of pain. It was humiliating having to accept everyone's help. I looked around and everyone was stronger than me all of a sudden. The terror I felt being in the hands of so many powerful people with no real power of my own... I don't want any nonbenders to have to rely on the protection of me or anyone else. I want you to have peace of mind, Asami.
The world I grew up in was so small and safe. I always wanted to be the hero I was destined to be, go to the city, take down bad guys. Then I realized the bad guy most people were dealing with was... oppression. And it wasn't just the benders. There were so many miserable people there whether they could bend or not. Nobody was free. We were all vagabonds in one way or another. Even you, Asami, weren't free despite your cool car and all your money.
I'm going to figure it out, okay? The world doesn't need this big strong Avatar to come and beat up bad guys, and I'm starting to see that. But... I don't know what kind of hero I'm really supposed to be now? I just know I have so much to protect, and I have no power. I miss you. I cannot wait to hear from you again.

(P.S. How many airbenders does it take to change a tire? Just one, but he's a little distractible so he'll need a minute-by-minute schedule for each step.)

ART! I really really REALLY love the brassard for Korra! Nice touch hehehe
I'm also rewatching LoK and stoked for what we have planned. I hope we get to go through the Spirit World and everything.
