So I just finished watching this entire series a few days ago, and I gotta say that I am very upset that I found it this late! This show is incredible, and it really scratches my ATLA itch! Anyways, Rayllum is amazing, so I figured why not do a bunch of one-shots about these two lovable dorks? I can't really say how often I'll be able to make new chapters because I'm currently in school, but if there's ever a point where I don't upload for a week or two at a time, just know that I haven't forgotten about this! I really hope this project partially fills the hole that will be in our hearts while this show enters another hiatus, and I really hope you all enjoy!

The pair's feet finally grazed the ground of the Stormspire's peak. They let go of each other, though they stayed close together, and Callum's wings disappeared, and were replaced by normal human arms. "Oh, thank goodness!" Callum exclaimed, eyes still focused on his limbs. "For a second I thought I wouldn't know how to change them back!" Rayla giggled in response, which caused Callum to look up at her. Their eyes met, and that's when it hit him. When everything hit him. His smile fell, tears began to form in his eyes, and he couldn't form any words, no matter how hard he tried.

"Callum?" Rayla began with concern. "Are you alright?"

"I...y-yeah, I just..." He couldn't take it any longer. He wrapped his arms around her in almost an instant, and held her tightly. He sank his head into her shoulder as the tears began to flow. "I...I almost l-lost you, Rayla," he whimpered. "You were this close to..." He couldn't finish his sentence as his words regressed to sobs.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, Callum. I'm here. You saved me, I'm here," Rayla stated as tears began to fall down her cheeks as well. She used a finger to trace circles around his back, hoping it would soothe him. After a few seconds, she pulled his head away from her shoulder to look at him face-to-face. She cupped his cheeks with her hands and used her thumbs to wipe his tears away. She maintained eye contact with Callum while she gave him a faint smile. "You're a hero too, you know that? And, more importantly, you're my hero. My stupid, human, handsome hero." Rayla leaned into him and made his lips meet hers. Callum felt more and more relieved every second that he knew she was okay and in his arms. She pulled away after a few more seconds. "You better not forget that. Ever. You understand?" Callum's smile returned, and he let out a slight chuckle.

"Yeah, I won't. I promise," Callum assured her. The two melted into each other once again, feeling pure bliss just knowing that the other was okay. Callum pulled away to Rayla's dismay. "We'll just say that kiss sealed the promise."

"Hmm...I dunno, I think we might need to do it again just to be sure," Rayla teased with a sly grin. Callum stroked his chin jokingly and let out a "hmmm" in response. He "pondered" for a few seconds, which caused Rayla to giggle.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Better to be safe than sorry, right?"

"Agreed." From that moment on, for Callum and Rayla, everything felt more right in the world than ever before.
