Yay! Great story.

I would have never thought of a Toph and Zuko couplage, but it actually makes a lot of sense (way more sense than Zuko and Katara). Angsty self hate meets straight forward no-BS attitude. Much the same way Toph was a good friend for Aang, I suppose Perhaps I just like Toph and am happy to see her feisty cuteness in any story.

That and Uncle. There have been "better" depictions of Uncle Iroh (See "Brothers in Arms" by "fuzzytomato" on ), but you definitely did the ole codger justice. I do realize that the major emphasis of your story was on Toph and Zuko, so considering that, and in general anyway, good job on Iroh.

To finish off this rather short review, I would like to say that I've always been a hopeless romantic. Your story turned me back onto the romance fics I love to read after breaking up with my girlfriend a few months ago. Thank you for that, and I look forward to reading more of your stuff. Hope you have to 7th review soon!

Kudos to you for totally upending the Avatar-verse and doing it in a believable way!

this story is awsome xD i love it and lmao "Try Me" :D i love that one

hi man great job

I really like this story. Toph is one of my favorite characters and you've made Toph the best. The end is not what I would hope. I actually liked the canon ending. And I didn't exactly like the Aang-bashing, even though it was minor. The writing was fantastic. Thank you for the story.

Haa!! I loved that so much.. such a twist in the end, and the whole we-dont-need-the-avatar? Awesome!! Great story *fav'd*

-smiles- This was great to read, and the ending was cute and fluffy. ^^

I just read this whole thing, and it's freaking fantastic. It was such a good read.

i literally laughed out loud when i read 'Bring it.' that was genius.

So, I read my review, and it was way too short for your wonderful story. I'm really sorry, so I just give you a better one (I hope).

Well, for a starter, actions scenes are really your thing, no? I could see them so well, beautiful described and realistic! (not that fire-, metal- and earthbending is really realistic, but we're in the Avatar-universe, after all..)

Also the interaction between Zuko and Toph is like, well, Zuko and Toph. And Iroh was (wich is rare in most stories) not only a clown-like old man, but also very wise.
Your plot was ingenious! Have Ursa kill Ozai, dustbending,... It all fit together, man, I really enjoyed that part. It seemed weird to one of your reviewers that Toph would be insecure and afraid, but to me, it only showed how human she is, without making her the "fragile doll".

Only the end looked a bit odd to me, them having eight children and all.. Maybe because we allways see them as children/teenagers. But you did great. I hope I could express how much I enjoyed your Story. Thank you.

sniff, sniff what a happy ending!

Like, WOW!
This probably is the best fic I've ever read. Thank you!
May I ask for more Toko? And more? You're brilliant!

Xx

good story!! :)
i enjoyed reading it very much.
good job!

Good chapter. I honestly would have liked to see those things - the completion of his training, the issues he has to face, stuff like that. But, the masses spoke, and you obeyed. I understand.

That's really my only disappointment, though. It's a good, solid chapter. None of the interaction really felt forced or anything.

If I'd showed up earlier, I would have voted to know more about Zuko's time with Iroh and JJ, but I'm a little too late for that. ^_^;;

Good to see Ozai die. I thought seeing Ursa do the murder was an interesting choice... and actually, now that I think about it, pretty realistic. Assuming that she's a killer in the first place - which you did for this story - I think that her noble-minded assassination was pretty in-keeping with her character.

Actually, if anything, I thought Toph's characterization was a little off. She's a girl who lacks fear and does not hesitate, and she never does throughout the entire series. But here, you've got her scared and hesitant... and for what?

I don't object to her being scared and hesitant, but I don't think you've done the work to justify why she is. I mean, the way it's been set up, she should be glad that she's finally getting out of the boredom of hiding. I expected to read her as being smug about the fact that a little blind girl just brought down the most powerful monarch in the world.

So. Anyway.
