This should count as a review for both parts of this story so here it goes. I loved it. It was very well written and had enough intrigue, drama, romance, and surprises to keep me glued to my seat. There were a couple inconsistencies I noticed but it wasn't a big deal. Writing such a long story over time is bound to come out with a hiccup or two. Great Job! I can't wait to read more of your work.

Lovin' the part with the Old Masters. Jeong Jeong FTW!

Hi there Meeko-chan. I would like to tell you that I loved your story( I consider EAI and IFYH to be 1 story combined). I stated reading it a week ago, and it was awesome. I honestly think this is one of the greatest Zutara stories. And one quote has stuck itself permately in my mind, "Quack." HAHAHAHAHA I still laugh whenever I think of that part! Honestly, I loved your story. I hope you write another. (preferably one about the Zutara, Taang, and Sukka chilren adventures. It would be cool). Keep writing, the pen(or keyboard) is mightier than the sword (or boomerang,dagger, bending,bow and arrow, fan, and Appa) and all that stuff. LOve ya and ya stories.

love it! bring on the mini Zukos and mini Kataras XD

wow, the way you wrote the battle scenes are pretty much as epic as the real finale, I was seriously on the edge of my seat :D great work!

Wow... seriously wow. I was on the edge of my seat for practically the entire story. I loved it.

Okay, seriously, I love LOVE the fact that Hakoda just accepts Toph as one of the men- to the point of totally pouring her a shot. No BS at all, to the point, she's a warrior and he gets it.

*Blows nose with last tissue in the box and wipes away torrent of tears* Wow. Just...wow. FANTASTIC story, AMAZING description, beautiful ideas and battle scenes and connections and symmetry...I feel as if I am reading something by Paolini or Rowling. Truly wonderful work. I applaud you on that. It's so hard sometimes to find a legitimately good fanfic these days--especially one that supports my favorite shipping pair. ;) It's truly a gift whenever I find a well-written, long, touching piece of work like this. It's been a PLEASURE reading your writing over the past...uhm, week, and I hope to see plenty more from you! Actually, I want to see some novels in Borders! So! Hop to it, girl! Just kidding...but anyway, thanks for keeping me up until 4:00 a.m. for the past few days. It's been great. LOVE the ending line...I almost cried, no joke. :'o Iroh is the BOMB. And the Azula thing? Brilliant! Never would have thought of it, and I was sitting there thinking the whole time--"Wait, did any of this "past" stuff happen in the series? No...right?"--because you wrote it so well and incorporated it so wonderfully into the fabric of the storyline that I was unable to distinguish fact from (fan)fiction... Really, I LOVE your style, and I am so sad that it's over now...*sighs emo-tastically* Wel I guess I'll have to go mope now. Or go to sleep. One of the two. ;) Later!

Does Hakoda have a thing for Zuko? SO DIDN'T AEE IR COMING! And I'm gonna kill Hakoda, for trying to steal Zuko from me... Sigh. I'm in love with a cartoon character. How... disturbing? But can anyone really blame me? Zuko is just so damn hot. or should I say oh hot damn? so so so so creepie. Plus why would you give him his shirt back? I know he was probably getting cold, but he's to STRONG to get sick, and god wouldn't do that to him would he? God wiht me on this one. Zuko's to hot, to get sick! Plus he's to sexy for his shirt, to sexy for his shirt!

Umm hi,
This is the best story i have ever read! I read alot of storie on fanfiction and many of them are zutara stories. But this one is by far the best. Every story i have read never seem to capture the real zuko but you can!! I love it and i just thought i would tell you to keep it up, your a great writer!!

p.s More zutara plz...

I love this

AWESOME story. i loved everything about it. the ending was really sweet too, and not cheesy like all the other zutara fics! great job! i hope to see more work from you soon!

Gosh, it's so perfect this story!
I love it, I almost cry in the end..
It's too bad that it's over :)

I was so happy when I found out that you replied to not only 1 but 10 of my reviews! I'm sorry if I sounded mean. I have a question for my story. You know the one for my English class? Did British people always say MUM instead of MOM? And what did they say for dad?

So Toph DID write her parents a letter. I've been reading too many stories so I can't remember what happened in the episodes and what happened in the stories! Ok, you haven't been replying to my reviews. I'm sorry to say this but I'm gonna stop reviewing until you reply to at least ONE of my reviews. A hello would do! So this is the last review you get until I get a reply from you. If you never reply then I want to say thank you for writing this story and goodbye.
