Chilling, superbly chilling. This was vivid with colorful imagery and in-character dialogue, especially Azula. Her quotes have her voice resonating off of them, so well done that it is almost sickening. She is a sadistic girl, after all. I will fave this!

Very much in character, Coeus-sama. Don't worry about that. I think that it is always best to let stories work the way that they need to. Mine tend to vanish when I think to hard. It is very good. Excellent!
Farewell for now.

A very sad look into the future of it, but very well done. Your descriptions are beautiful. I like your look into the characters, the dialogue had a distinctive tone for each character that matched the canon.

Well done!

eek. That was...chilling. Poor Azula, so convinced of her values and ideals that she believes everyone else will fight for her comfort. Heh.

Ooh, very interesting indeed! It's a small story, but rich in description and fascinating plot. I almost felt bad for Azula, reduced to nothing. Even when she has nothing, she still maintains her pride. Very nicely done and in-character.

The only little thing that struck me as "off" was that, perhaps, there is a little too much description! And trust me, too much is much better than not enough. Well done. :)

Very, very twisted indeed. Azula was truly wicked, and very IC for the most part; torturing Katara is just something she'd do. I really enjoyed this fic for it's descriptive nature and detailed plotline.

This re-inspired me to do a fic where Azula goes truly insane. I've been planning on writing it for a while now, but I never got around to it. I guess I'll do that later today . . .

Great oneshot.

So, as I hit the line, “That didn't make sense. Dawn was still hours away“ a shiver ran up my spine, because I knew just what was about to happen, and that it was going to be the greatest thing ever, and after that things just got a little wild...

Can I just say as a side note though, even dismissing all of that awesomeness, there were a few details of this fic that made me immediately love it before that - FIRE LORD IROH, DAMMIT. Seriously. Fugitive!Azula. Highly allegorical weather patterns. Everybody -but- Aang dying. Also, Azula finally realizing a modicum of respect for Zuko, but that goes without saying.

That's the stuff.

Very well written. This could be cannon if Avatar wasn't a kid's show.

Wow! I loved it, your imagery at the beginning, the ways that Zuko changed, how twisted and bitter Azula was, the way you described Aang taking his revenge without really describing it... Great!
I did kind of wonder what Azula had done to Toph and Sokka, but it was Azula. I didn't really want to know. And I was sad that she killed Katara, but there was no way she would ever let any of them live... I did want to know though, did Zuko have feelings for Katara? Or was he just creeped out and disgusted with her sadistic nature and afraid of Aang's reaction?
Wonderful job; you kept everyone in character very well and have excellent word choice.

Hm... where to start?
For a first attempt at an Avatar fic this was a good try, although it was much more elegantly written than most fics you see, especially since the quality of Avatar fics have been deteriorating... -growls-
The description was simply breath-taking and the way you described Azula made me think that she had gone more than a little bad in the head. Although, LOSING can do that to people...
I thought that the conversation between Azula and Zuko was very interesting, to say the least. They way that they handled themselves in each other's presence captivated me and made me realize that both knew so much less about the other than they thought. Tsk tsk, and them being siblings too!
I'm actually glad that all you say about Aang was the glowing and the wind; I really think that his speaking would have destroyed the feeling of the oneshot, so good decision on your part.
I was disappointed that Azula died in the end because you guessed correctly; I am a very big Azula fan. It makes sense with the plot you had going here, but with my personal bias, I was unhappy.
I was listening to "Pieces" by Hoobastank at the time and realized that it goes very well with this story.
Thanks for pointing this out to me; I enjoyed it.

This was, as several others have mentioned, very intense. It was well written and a great read. I loved the characterization and the plot. Congradulations on a great story!

Wow. Just. Wow.

I was a bit hesitant at first, especially regarding Zuko's characterization (he seemed too calm, really) but then I got to the ending and it was just--wow. I loved it. It was unexpected but fitting and just *right*.
