I totally agree with that last note.

Whenever I read a fic about Korra bring alone, it breaks my heart. Especially if it's REALLY good. So, thank you! :).

my heart is broken

Mako must learn how to talk to girls. There are so many theories and awkward feelings everywhere you did a wonderful job of what Korra must be going through. Especially the parts about playing games, which she doesn't know how, and garnering sympathy, which she doesn't want but seems to acknowledge that she will often get that. And, gah, it's great. :)

This is great too. Wayy impressed.

Aweee. MY BBY KORRA. C'mere, I'll give you a hug. D:

This fic was so pretty. Tugged at my heart a bit. It's kind of understandable she hasn't talked to them about it so far though because they're not really close friends... they don't know her very well. It's prolly a little hard to catch on to her sadness because of that. But if it isn't that, they probably haven't seen her much. And I'm willing to bet they didn't worry because they thought she was caught up in important Avatar stuff. And Mako was pretty occupied with his crush, lol. He probably hasn't even had the time to think about much other than her :P

But meh, I wished they took notice. Seeing Korra so sad and alone made me both angry and upset. She shouldn't have to take on all of this alone. WHICH IS WHY I LOVE TENZIN FOR NOTICING. YAY.

...anyway, done rambling now. It's also nice how you didn't have to write tons of words to get the point across or the characters right! Just perfect. :D

"It stings a bit, but she doesn't really have time to think about things like that—boys and all the other rituals of growing up she'd learned about and tried to imitate."

I especially love this line, but I'm really, really fond of the last few paragraphs as well. I think you've captured Korra perfectly and the points you bring up are very insightful-this entire dilemma is SUCH a contrast to what Aang experienced. Korra really is, at least for the moment, alone in the fight.

HOP ON THIS BANDWAGON, YOU BELONG HERE.

When I saw this, I may have screamed-exhaled a little and fallen off my chair because I JUST KNEW YOU WOULD DO THIS TO PERFECTION.

General, you never disappoint. And this - it makes perfect sense. It is everything that made me so mad about the fourth episode. I don't even care about the love triangle - it's that Mako is so oblivious to the burden that Korra is trying to shoulder here and can he please just stop thinking with his penis.

I love that this was centred mostly on the loneliness of being the Avatar - that no one ever taught her how to play jacks, that all she has to support her is her teacher's understanding, and the snake-in-the-grass tactic pleasantries of a politician.

Korra is tired, and afraid.

But what you really say in this is that she's alone.

Beautiful, STAY IN THIS FANDOM.

D'AW. JUST D'AW. 3

That was great! I feel for Korra. D: Also, that episode just killed my KorraMako dreams. Dammit.

YAY LoK:D happy dance!

Hehe Makorra. Ehehehe.

But Korra is such a LOVEABLE character:)

She's has a strong will

I really like this fic. Short, but very moving, with no needless details, which I like.

Loved the story, especially the note to Mako at the end:)

You did a really wonderful job of capturing the emotion in episode 4:) Thanks for sharing this!

I like the style of writing here. The way you portrayed Korra here shines a new light to her character. I urge you to write more please. :)

Good Job! :D

Very good one-shot. Korra was really frightened in the last episode, you described how she feels in an excellent way.

] i like it. a lot. I think i've forgotten how good you are at these types of stories...uh...one-shots? character studies? it might be neither, but i hope you know what i mean...they're my favourite kinds and you happen to excel in them.

I hope you do some more with the LOK series. It'd be a pleasure to read.
