Description The two of them sat together on that rooftop for many hours that night, thinking. Thinking of all the things they had lost...and the things they had gained. The memories remained, but the pain they once held had faded. And that was something they had found together.



I knew I wanted to tie "Faded" into Zuko and Katara's memories of their lost Mothers, but I kept finding I couldn't without feeling like I was repeating myself from a piece I'd done two years ago, "Something We Have In Common" ([link] ). Eventually, I chose to lean into the curve, and thus I chose to make this something of a Sequel picture. I only hope it worked.

This is beautiful. It makes a very nice sequel picture to "Something We Have in Common." Such sweet expressions and tenderness to their poses (especially the hands).

...And I didn't notice the sneaky little Serendipity at first but now I do!

Thank you kindly; I definitely approached this one with as much delicacy as I could to match the emotional tenor, and I think that worked just like I wanted it to.

And yes, hiding Serendipity in each pic was a surprisingly enjoyable game; this one might be my favorite in terms of "once you see it"-ness. <3

Did you see what I did there in all the other pics in this series, I wonder? ;3

YES. But that one in particular was trying to hide so I CALLED YOU OUT.

Ahhh, I remember and love that piece well.

I love the serene, slightly wistful expressions here, the light touch, and the way their body language leans toward each other. VERY nice indeed.

Heh, glad to hear. <3

Thank you. Getting the expressions right, and keeping them distinct to each character, was probably the trickiest part here, but I'm pretty pleased with the results myself. ^_^
