zukō, an ex-member of triad, was commissioned by mainland government to find and secure the missing tulku of tibet, in exchange of his mother and sister's safety. as he unveiled the case using leads provided by his uncle's underground network, he realized that the prophecy told by pathik, a pilgrim from trilokinath temple, had come to reality.

the child and his parents reportedly escaped public's grasp four days after golden urn ceremony, and had taken new identities in separate places along with all living witnesses. another child, who was not selected by divination but backed by government support, was placed on the throne of panchen lama in tashilhunpo. bloodied anti-han riots took place in lhasa a night after; adding another conflict as a wake up call regarding his ethnicity in every part of the world zukō stepped his feet on.

it was during 1998, a year of sociopolitical turmoil in batavia and suwarnadwipa, where he met a youth named aridharma－commonly known as āng by the pribhumi, who bore most signs as the lost bodhisattva. but it was out of zukō's expectations that he would face resistance by āng himself as he tried to take his target back home, even though most of their kin fled the country out of fear; terrorized as the scapegoats of segregation.

"you were sent here not so we can return," was what the youth told him while standing in front of dangpö sanggyé tanka, bhagawadgita slokas clutched in his hands, "nothing remains for us in motherland. everyone else seeks safer sanctuary; a windless place, so their flame wouldn't flicker out. yet here we are, in this soil of equator, bound by each other's prakriti and purusha to keep ours alight even under the storms."

because prana lies dormant even in the hollow of veins－forever inescapable and haunting in its course, like the nightmares and sins that follows him no matter where he goes－and by looking through the eyes of the deity's incarnate, zukō knew, that he would do well to remember that.

－ based on case of missing tibetan panchen lama and may 1998 riots of indonesia. a modern au set in south, east and southeast asia; exploring identity in the eyes of ethnicity, politics and religion.

Hi everyone! It’s been quite a while since I’ve been posted my original post here.

So here I am bringing you my updates from my Fanfiction on AO3 that I forgot to announce the update here since I posted chapter one.

I am always excited about writing this as this is my first Maiko multi-chapter fanfic that I wrote. So here are some of the Summaries for Chapters 2 to Chapter 5.

It’s still ongoing but we are so close to the ending since it just has 7 chapters.

I hope you enjoy and happy reading my lovely Maiko Nation <3

Waiting for the rain to pass

I like to think Katara would eat ice cream even when it's cold and raining while Zuko likes to have something to warm him up
