Nice work! I had never thought about Katara being on her feet and tied to the tree all night. You've kept everyone in character, and I especially liked Iroh with the tea. Now, however, I do wonder what Zuko was planning on doing with Katara (and Sokka) after he'd captured Aang. I rather liked this line, in context"She was certain she wouldn't be able to beat him, but she was pretty sure she could outrun him." That would certainly have been interesting, though I'm not sure I share Katara's confidence. The ending line was good and a nice finish. Great job with the story.)

A very insightful analysis of the episode.

oh i hope more is comimg!

Love it! :D

Haha, I had to re-watch the episode after reading this fic XD

This was very well done! I don't think I've ever read anything like that. You kept all of the characters exactly the way they are in the series, and the reflections for both Zuko and Katara were unique and dead on. Keep up the great work!

I just left a review over at LJ but repeating here how much I enjoyed this fic. A fresh take on a well known scene. As I said on LJ-there isn't enough Season One Zuko/Katara fic being written these days (everybody's writing post-Season Three stuff I guess).
That ending line (where Zuko starts the sentence satisfied and ends up with Katara watching him drown) is just so beautiful constructed! Lol, and you even manage to include the pirates.
