As I said last night, I loved this. I think my favorite segment is still the tapestry one and having the Dai Li boys be so human. I love how Dai is so passionate, the crushing social realities that the Dai Li have, and the comradeship. That's why you're in doujin, boys.

Thank you! And yes, all of this. <3 People don't get to see a lot of the Dai Li being human, but the flashes they do see are deep.

That was really cool! The memories and the different personalities of the people who are the Dai Li, and that last bit about the first Dai Li? That was awesome.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

The Dai Li make up a good majority of my OCs, besides the Fire Nation, so it's always nice to let some of the less-used ones shine. I am very glad when people like them.

Someday, the first Dai Li will get himself a name.

Odd but effective metaphor- and seconded.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this.

You leave such pretty, imagery-filled comments. Out of curiosity, do you have synesthesia?

The hand unclenching is very apt.

Hmm. Not sure these are the people I'd want preserving my past. >_>

*grins* And you haven't even seen the episodes they appear in yet! That would REALLY convince you of your position, let me tell you. ;-)

Aw man, that was amazing. I went back and read the earlier bit about Thanh, just for reference, and I busted up laughing at that.

This...wow. It's cool to see a fic with the Dai Li as something other than mind-controlling villains. Certainly, that's a cool aspect, but this was just...awesome. Great job.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

To me, the Dai Li are a lot more than mind-controlling villains. Heck, Long Feng is more than a mind-controlling villain. They're just really bad people on top of the other things they do.
