Oh, Tyno survived. Nice. I like him.

Hmm... I blame Hakoda for this outcome.

Yes I really loved this story. It had everything I wanted: a deep engrossing tale, that would take forever to read so I could enjoy it and really savor it, AND it was finished by the time I got to it. I also immensely enjoyed the fact that everything in this story was entirely original, at least in the context of fanfics in the Avatar fandom. No canon compliant or canon divergent stories, everything that happened here happened in completely its own way while still being true to the original way the story went and to its characters. Don't get me wrong, I love both of the story styles mentioned above, but this one was so rare and surprising to find. It was refreshing. Anyway, I can't wait to get to the sequel. I know I am going to love it just as much.

Wow. I might be willing to pay money to see a picture of Katara without her signature loopies and braid. I never tried to picture her with Sokka's hair before.

Oh how I loved this story! I can’t wait to start part 2!

Zuko questioning his sexuality was super funny. It's a shame the cat is out the bag now. That was my bread and butter for a laugh in this story.

Heyy, I just wanted to say what an AMAZING storywriter you are. All of your characters feel so realistic and totally like themselves. I enjoyed every minute of reading your book. Every morning when I woke up I read it and damn it was good. You have such an awesome imagination, like you should be a writer or director. And they way you wrote Zuko and Katara's relationship so well..damnn, and the heart stopping moments, omg, there were so many instances where I was like, ahh whats gonna happen! This story is so beautifully and masterfully done, I hope I get to see more in the future.
I just wanted to say that you are super awesome and keep doin what your doin cause its soo great! and I cant wAiT to read the sequel too, eee

Ouch!

Ouch, yikes, so brutal. Your depiction of war here using Tyno and Attuk is heartbreaking. Two boys, with no one but a lost fiancée and a mourning mother, it’s just more pain and more heart ache. I hope Zuko sees another option. I’d hate for there to be any more heartbreak than there already has been.

Oh no! Poor Tyno!

I love Uncle Iroh‘a metaphors here. Toy do a great job, they’re quite inspirational!

“ She was kissing his ear and murmuring, "You're so good. Zuko, you're so good." And it made Zuko moan - because he had always wanted to be good. He had wanted so badly to be good. ”

Just lovely. This boy, young man really, just wants to be good. But he’s still so blinded. I hope he can open his eyes to a new way soon for everyone’s sake /3

Amazing new obstacle, the Northern guy claimed katara?! This’ll be fun!
