![]() ![]() ![]() Nah, its crazy how i have my music on shuffle and the song that comes up during the most intimate scene between sokka and azula is none other than slow dancing in the dark by joji. Yeah its a hearbreak song, but it made this scene HIT. That was mindblowing |

I wont lie, I actually avoided this fic for the longest time simply cus i thought it was gonna be a weird r*pe fic where azula has her way with sokka, but then after searching for a fic to read, i asked chat gpt (lol) to find the most well written ATLA fics, and this fic was recommended. So glad i finally started thus journey, I’ve enjoyed every single chapter |

![]() ![]() ![]() Hi, I'm Nyra Callen! I just finished reading your story, and I’m genuinely blown away. Your storytelling is so vivid and immersive—it felt like I was living every moment alongside your characters. The depth, the emotion, the twists... everything was masterfully done. You have a rare talent, and I truly believe your work deserves to be seen and celebrated widely. I’d love to share a more detailed review if you're open to it. Please keep writing—your gift is something truly special!. / |
![]() ![]() ![]() Its been 10 years of off and on reading, but im finally caught up. I dont know what to do with myself. 10 years of there always being another chapter ready for me. 10 years of seeing notification after notification and see the latest chapters getting farther from me. But now ive reached the current end. Its almost melancholic. I just want to thank you for this. This story has been with me through so much. Ive become at least 3 different people since I stumbled upon it during my break at one of my miserable highschool jobs. I never would have thought the journey could become what it has. I now join an exclusive club of those who are eagerly awaiting the next one. Im so excited! |
![]() ![]() ![]() This alternate reality reimagines Avatar: The Last Airbender in a compelling and thought-provoking way, exploring how small decisions could drastically alter the course of history. Katara's deep concern for her brother and the world’s shifting balance creates an intriguing backdrop for a story of resilience and survival amidst overwhelming odds. |
![]() ![]() ![]() a mans dick is not in pain if he falls short of completion that is merely a rumor spread by pathetic desperat rats |
![]() ![]() ![]() it's baffling how a father would rather believe his daughter was raped...I. can tell this is only going to get darker. |
![]() ![]() ![]() That gonna be a LONG review) Apparently, I’ll be one of the few people who will criticize this story and its events. Please understand, I’m not trying to offend anyone or diminish your workit’s actually well-written compared to many other works in this fandom. But there are some nuances, especially in this chapter: 1. The constant bias toward the Fire Nation and Azula. You almost always take Azula’s side and push Sokka toward her. In every controversial situation, she’s presented either as a victim or someone completely different from her father. Yet, at the same time, you describe her burning people alive or killing dozens without remorseeven when no one is trying to hurt her. Sokka, too. You keep giving Azula every possible superpower, while stripping others of theirs, even when it makes no sense. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day you write that she can bend other elements too. But what about Aang, Katara, Zuko, and the others? They’re just background noise to Azula’s glory and superiority. 2. Sokka and Azula’s relationship. I don’t want to be that guy, but Sokka comes off as a simp and a doormatsomeone who will worship and praise Azula no matter what. That’s not love, that’s submission. Half of the chapters are literally justYou’re so beautiful” or “I love you so much.” He’s willing to give Azula infinite chancesbut others? Of course not. They don’t deserve it, right? Not after all the years of war, death of loved ones, and poverty caused by that very same Fire Nation? 3. The complete character inconsistency. I know it’s a fanfic. I know you have the right to alter characters however you want. But turning Uncle Iroh into a manipulative villain? Making Piandao a hypocrite and Jeong Jeong a deranged psychopath? Iroh tried to connect with Azula for years and never insulted her, even when he was the most powerful firebender alive. Yet you portray him as a bastard who’ll do anything to put Zuko on the throne. Did you forget he was happy to live as a refugee, a tea shop owner in the Earth Kingdom, leaving the Fire Nation behind? All he wanted was to protect Zukobecause he couldn’t save his own son. Jeong Jeong and Piandao saw the horrors of war with their own eyes. They lived it and were responsible for much of it. When they finally decided to run from it and redeem themselvesyou shame them for it? They vowed never to kill again. When Zhao’s soldiers came for Jeong Jeongdid he kill them? Even though he could have, easily? Did he kill anyone during Sozin’s Comet? Nohe spared everyone. You accuse them of inaction, but forget they saved thousands. You label them banditsbut how? Did they kill? Pillage? Burn down cities? No. They took resourcesbut where else would they get food and water? What choice did they have besides becoming guerillas? Go back home to be jailed or executed? The White Lotus did nothing? Why ignore the fact that 95% of the Fire Nation army was occupying the Earth Kingdom? That’s where the suffering and mass deaths were happening. Yes, they didn’t protect the South Polebut who said they had the numbers or resources to do so? They’re a small order, mostly composed of elderly mendid you forget that? How were they supposed to protect everyone? Do you even understand what the Order stands for? They preach peace and balancethey never killed anyone. Yet you portray them as bloodthirsty monsters. That’s just absurd. 4. The so-called technological progress of the Fire Nation. Let’s not forget that a large part of this "progress" was stolen from Earth Kingdom citizens. The “brilliant” diplomats of the Fire Nation threatened to wipe out entire villages if they refused to cooperate (the Engineer). The Fire Nation seems incapable of inventing anything on their ownbut let’s praise their "diplomatic genius" and "technological brilliance," right? I really hope you read this to the end and respond to me. If I turn out to be wrong, and things make more sense later on, and the characters turn out to be more balancedI’ll gladly admit it. With best wishes, Your reader. |
