You are one really good writer. Your scenes are entirely believable and realistic, and I love the chinese translation of each chapter title. How did you come up with the translations for their names?

Nice character study. You make Azula seem more human...the fact that she actually feels sad over the thought that she wants to kill Zuko is kind of out of character. I always figured she was completely ruthless and just power-hungry, not really loyal to her nation but just intoxicated by power. The Azula you've written is more believable in the sense that she's more like a real human being, but she doesn't seem true to the show.
Sparks of Jetzula here? Is that going to continue in the Gray/Black story? I can't wait to see.

Girl talk!! Haha, how I've missed it. The dialogue in this chapter was great. It was fun how Toph made Katara squirm and then Katara caught on to Toph's unnatural interest in her love life, and turned it back on her. Again I just really like how you bring the characters alive with their complicated thought patterns and hidden emotions.

Great contrast to the last chapter; I enjoyed the fight, and Sokka's loyalty and stubbornness were very in-character.

Ah I missed this collection the first time I visited your profile page. I'm so glad I started reading these, because I was kind of confused as to why Aang suddenly showed up in Somewhere in Between and then didn't show up again later. This really fills in a lot of blanks.

You write an adult Aang very well. He's more mature but still idealistic and peace-loving, still in love with Katara, and fiercely protective. He's more perceptive now though and it was good that he could read what was going on between Katara and Zuko. The dialogue between him and Katara was believable and I feel a little sad that he couldn't have the woman he loved.

Now this Zuko chapter is great, filling in even more blanks that I had meant to ask about in my other review. In the main two stories, Zuko hardly mentions Mai at all, but here you give a sufficient explanation of his feelings. I guess it's not really canon that he didn't love her to begin with, since in the show he and she are all over each other as teens. But I like how you rewrote their history and contrasted her with Katara; Mai as a cool, refined court lady who could teach Zuko how to be a ruler. It fit well with the image I had of her already. I'm also glad that you dealt with Zuko's feelings about 'moving on' from Mai just two years after her death, and how he is changing toward Katara. The slow pace and very human aspect of dealing with grief, falling in love again, and facing deep insecurities are a big part of what makes your writing so good.

Very well written. I've read Somewhere in Between and thought the story was original and well done. This story is also becoming a good one. I hope you continue writting it!

Oh, Azula is the South Pole O_O

I remember I read Sokka, Lu Zuo and Katara and Toph's tale before, but with all the background information it's even better XD

I'm loving it, and now I'm going to read the next one!

Making Azula out to be a sociopath or a psychopath seems to be a norm, so I like that you're taking a slightly different tact by laying out her logic for us. You could almost beleive she is being completely rational and reasonable.

That being said, I hope she doesn't kill Jet. My little fangirl heart couldn't take the blow.

Salute!

This has to be my favorite story yet. The perspective of a young child is so refreshing, and you write it so well.
