Okay, Its been a long tome since I've posted a story on so please forgive me if my writing isn't all that great. Anywho, I've always known the song, Heaven's Light, fit for Zuko very well, but I din't know what occasion I should write a songfic for. Now, thanks to Tales of Ba Sing Sei, I have one. Though I must adnit, I'm not much of a Jinko, the sweetness of their date was touching for me. Enjoy the fic.


Many times, I've seen 2 lovers being together and romancing with one another and I doubt I'll see my last. As much as I try to put aside my inner thoughts of such a foolish waste of time, I can't help but sometimes look at that couple and wish that… I too could he in the arms of another. To glow in the night without fire.

So many times out here
I've watched a happy pair
Of lovers walking in the night
They had a kind of glow around them
It almost looked like heaven's light

But I know an outcast like me could ever feel that glow. I had been a failure all my life for many reasons, but the most part, I have a hideous scar to show it. I can't even bare to look at the mirror as I tear up in sadness and frustration. Not just as a disgrace to my father and to my homeland, but also as a monster that will never be able to experience the sweet taste of a gentle kiss.

I knew I'd never know
That warm and loving glow
Though I might wish with all my might
No face as hideous as my face
Was ever meant for heaven's light

Then, somehow, a girl named Jin looked at me with a caring smile and tried to plant a kiss on me. I was scared and reluctant at first, but then she told me to close my eyes and her lips pressed against mine and I was able to feel and taste her soft kiss.

But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright

I ran away from Jin at that moment, saying the reason was "complicated", but the mostly the reason was because… I was scared. Not just because she might report me to the Dai Li if she knew I was a firebender, but because I felt as if I just wasn't worthy enough for her kiss. How can a pretty girl like her kiss someone as ugly as I am?

Yet… as I lay on my bed in my unlit room, I could feel that light touching my face. It wasn't a harsh, burning light, but a soft, warm, and gentle light. Did she really care for me that much? Was this what everyone calls… love?

I dare to dream that she
Might even care for me
And as I ring these bells tonight
My cold dark tower seems so bright
I swear it must be heaven's light


So, be sure to give some reviews. I don't expect them to be great, but I like to know what other people think.
