Please oh please oh pleassee tell me there is or will be a sequel to this story?

:LK

Oh my goodness, this is wonderful.

So much angst and emotional turmoil!

Evil Azula, evil torture, yay for Toph and Sokka.

And I had no clue how you were going to be able to pull this one together at the end realistically, but you managed it incredibly well.

BRAVO! :D

oh my gosh! D8 So much is happening, so much is going wrong! This is such an incredible story, I cannot stop reading. Your writing style is so gripping that it won't let me. haha, but who would ever want to?

I hate how Sokka was soooo close there. It almost worked... and then...!

I also hate how they can manipulate Toph like that. She had better kick them hard once she gets out of that cell!

Awesome. What an incredible beginning! I love the emotion and pain and angstiness and never-giving-up-hope and sarcasticness.

Basically, I just love these two, so putting them in this situation- getting captured by Azula- is fantastic. :3

I love the bit where Sokka reacts so violently to what she says. "Azula always lies!" But it's neat that he's been included in the "big secret"

One of my favorite lines this chapter: Even the greatest Earthbender in the world, when handled properly, was just a little girl.

The only thing that struck me as odd is that Toph is able to earth-bend even at a bit of a distance. I feel like she would be able to bend the dirt below her feet as they were being dragged in, or the stone underneath her wooden prison. But I guess she wasn't able to do that in that one episode... plus it would ruin the story... so don't mind me. XD

This was absolutely beautiful; the way the two were characterised was so heart-breaking, and you have such a way with language! The plot was suspenseful and gripping, although I do wonder what the rest of the Gaang were doing during that whole month.

Very nice stuff here, Invaderk. I completely forgot about this story.. it's been a while hasn't it? Haha.

This story was just insane .. but so very, very good.

Some parts were tough to read, with the whole interrogation, but it gave these two characters so much depth and showed just what kind of friends they really are.

It was one hell of a ride .. but I'm glad I took it.

"We're free."

What a great line. It says so much more than what is explicitly stated. Toph and Sokka are free from the prison and from Azula, but the great irony is that they can never be free.

I see this story as one about the death of Toph and Sokka. The people who went into the prison were destroyed by what happened to them, and the people who walked out see the world in a new light. In the scene where Toph and Sokka are giving their goodbyes to Getsuei, they are solidifying the fact that they cannot take back the experience, and that their previous selves will forever be in that prison.

This carries on to The Aftermath, wherein Toph and Sokka bathe in a hot springs. This is a sort of rebirth or baptism for them. In this extremely intimate scene, Toph and Sokka help each other be clean of the dirt and blood that has been with them. Their scars burn in the cleansing water, and they persevere, knowing that they must live with the markings for the rest of their lives. The newborns cannot forget that they have seen death. The markings set them apart from everyone else, but by doing that, the scars create a bond between Toph and Sokka that nobody else they know has.

I'd write more, but the call of my homework is more urgent.

Thanks for writing, and I hope that you continue doing so.

This is a well-written story with a lot of tension and emotion. It kept me glued to the screen.

The escape was a little disappointing, though, especially after watching "Boiling Rock" (although I understand you wrote this before you saw those episodes). I caught some of the foreshadowing, but it still felt a bit cheap for the interrogator to let them escape. And Sokka's suicide fake-out attempt was a kind of lame for him, too. It would have been better if he'd stolen the guard's armor, although someone still might have recognized his voice.

Is the plothole that Toph didn't bend the metal armor of the guards who handled her? Other than that I can't think of what it is.

Over all it's a good story, just a little disappointing at the end. Azula was IC, and Toph and Sokka weren't too OOC.

Holy CRAP! I think i can die now. very powerful story, didn't notice the plot hole, maybe i was into much of the story. amazing story, simply amazing. kudoos kiddo kudoos.

0.0 (faints from the amazingness [I know, not a real word] of this story)

I think my first line tells what I thought of this story.

This is the best story in the history of short stories. I am a huge avatar fan and a major tokka supporter, so I could enjoy this story in fullness, and I have to say that I really did. Plotholes: none as far as I can see, I think you are far too critical on your own work, you are the best fanfic author ever. My school is studying short stories this month, and I am going to bring this in via email for us to read on our smartboard, and I can just tell that my whole class is going to enjoy it.

This story has to be one of the best I have ever read about the Avatar show. I would love for a mature series like this to come out about all of these characters, and I am certain that everyone would love it. I was actually particularly sad when the story was finished because I just wanted to hear about all the characters and some of their other adventures. I saw thst the invadrk. did not work on my address bar, but I will try to see if there was a typo. All in all, I definetly think that this was very entertaining, spiritual, and well-written on your part.

Sincerely,

sn Avatar fan

aww so cute

SOKKA MY POOR BABY! This is one of the ways I like any sort of Tokka being written, most people just do it in such unrealistic ways that it saddens me. But this was beautiful. I also love super duper long oneshots :) Love this, so much. And I KNEW GETSUEI WOULD SAVE THEM! Hahahah!
