Peace, peace be still

Calming Presence

You're about to go off the rails. No, no "about," actually. You've left that train track fair behind, and you're crazy. Rage fills every inch of you, and there's no doubt you're about to do something dangerous, stupid, or reckless. Or all three. There's only one person who can calm you down: your partner.

Now, they're using closeness, reassurance, or physical intimacy to remind you what really matters, which is the two of you. Surely, this will bring you back, letting the anger ebb out and you'll be able to think straight again, even if your lover was the actual cause of all this mess.

Won't it? Surely you won't direct your wrath towards them, no matter what.

Comment with your character, your canon, your preferences, and which side you'd like to play (the calming one or the one who needs calming).

[ Anyone calming their friends, allies, and loved ones as a hobby, she does this as her purpose. You and she are not the same. ]

[ Gen preferred for this, so a close friend rather than lover? She's the one who needs calming. ]

[Want a thing with an AU'd-in Fire Nation street punk? Katara being the soothing one is the obvious option, but I'd be 100% on board with him scrambling to calm her down with comfort and reassurances ~~and probably being furious on her behalf~~. Either way gen or shipping is fine, though he'll probably be nursing at least a bit if a crush just from her being all... Katara around him.]
