Summary
Korra's plane crashes into spirit vines and instead of dying, lands on a beach. She must appeal her case for the right to live in front of a celestial jury in the Other World.
This is loosely based off of the 1946 film A Matter of Life and Death, but of course I have made it fit with canon and taken many gay liberties.

“You,” the revelation fell from Asami’s lips with no warning. Over the last three years wondered if this was a secret she would ever take to her grave. What hope had she to know that it would be the other way around. “I’m in love with you Korra.”
“I-” the world goes quickly quiet, followed by concentric waves of sound rushing from the epicentre of the bomb exploding above them, mid air. It swells angry and pulsing, but as fast as it came shrinks in on itself, guzzling airship and smoke until it’s transformed.
The sky sings purple for a second time and sends spirit energy and debris screaming into the night. The threat is gone. Ash and sparks rain down on the city as harmless as fireflies. Korra, her plane, her enemies, vanished without a trace.
If there was one certainty from such a sight, it was that not even an Avatar could survive that.
