So, I was considering leaving a review until I finished reading this fic but... seeing things now, in perspective, as an adult and having dealt with my own share of therapy and reliving my own traumatic experiences... wooowww... this is exactly the right way to portray talking with someone you trust about your trauma and grief, and the way said person can support you. My, my, my. I understand now this is one of the biggest masterpieces that our Zutara fandom has, and I'm glad I decided to revisit it.

This was one of the best fanfiction stories I have ever read, I loved every part of it. Thank you so much for all of the time, love, and care you put into it over the years.

I cant help but notice that while the elements and story telling is superb, you use a lot of ‘had’ with -ed. For example ‘Zuko and Katara had lingered on the dance floor and Katara had taught Zuko the Water Tribe dance that followed.’ It can be snipped to ‘Zuko and Katara lingered on the dance floor and Katara taught Zuko the Water Tribe dance that followed.’ Use your ‘had’s sparsely. May I suggest reading Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark and On Writing Well by William Zinsser. These books helped me a lot in reading and writing fan fics. I started writing fics but they’re still rough drafts because I jump from one fic to another depending on my interests lol…

Man I love how you write Toph, Uncle Iroh... everyone!

Whaa? That guy is from the White Lotus?

Not happy with Zuko here... they are dating other people.

Oh my gosh Zuko... you did cover yourself in honey! hahaha

I loved reading this from Hakoda's perspective, what a good dad he is.

Wow, great chapter!

Lovely chapter, as always.

Yeah firebending style!

My heart straight up melted... so touching.

Stunning, you are a stunning writer. I'm breathless.

Yes, go Hakoda!

Oh my, Katara is perceptive.
