First of all, congratulations on getting the job! That must be crazy and exciting!

And wow, I've never heard of this kind of kink before - especially the dragon part. I had always thought that doing that sort of thing was a major no-way sort of thing - I had no idea it was possible. I love fic that teaches me new things <3.

The shibari looks awesomely hot and complicated, and no wonder Zuko was brain-damaged for most of the day.

And holy crap, I laughed so hard at both the embarrassed guard and Toph at the end. You have no idea.

Also, you have managed to write politics well enough despite not liking it. Me, I'm a politician's daughter, so I write it a lot (and have a blast going it). It's also why I can write Mai's experience with her father without blinking - it's what I know, though thankfully I was never encouraged to sit still and shut up.

Congrats on an awesome and interesting fic!

Hey thanks. The work is tiring and crazy and exciting. True. Haha after one year I might settle into training for specialization again, but currently I love being in chanrge of the ER

Sweet death, you just KEEP ON PRODUCING! It's like you're some sort of perpetual kink machine!

While not one for both the sounding nor the beads via Zuko, there are far worse things to read. Further forgiving the two fetishes I'd usually avoid is the fact that Mai is the one suggesting this. I have a perverse, and almost obsessive thing for viewing anyone in fiction who's been repressed most of their life, such as Mai, or Rosa, from Final Fantasy IV, being a total maniac in the bedroom, as a method of expressing themselves fully, and the more you give us, the more I love, even if it dances around my comfort levels (If anything, it's probably just my "Slash for Slash's sake" hatred showing up, and I've no reason to fear that here.

The bit with Toph makes me wonder all sorts of things.... she's not one for money..... I wonder what sorts of 'payment' Mai and Zuko could think up for her....hehehehehe.

As always, I want more, but I don't even need to ask, you just seem to keep on giving and giving and giving!

Yes, I've been told that... on numerous occassions... kink machine go you. :p

Erg, I had a sound kink for weeks straight since July and couldn't get it out of my heaad. And apparently I have an anal fixation T_T, a therapist is going to have a field day with me. I knooow right? Mai all good and proper has steel in her spine, and well we all know she has Zuko under her thumb. Repressed girls RULE. :p Sorry for pushing your comfort levels @_@ I mostly have barely perceptible boundaries, which is the reason why my fics are all over the place.

Oh well, yeah I don't know what Toph and the couple would negotiate with, hence the cut, but it makes for interesting times, don't you think?

Haha, I'm sure I'll run out of kinks soon. I mean, there *are* some things that I absolutely could not write, because I absolutely would not agree to it. -_-;

[ixmythot]

Don't you worry about pushing my levels, it was a minor nudge, more than anything 'horrible', and I know the feeling about boundaries, though I often try and limit myself, instead of just going all out.

And running out of kink is, while possible, highly doubtful, as there's always new ways to interpret things, or use things uniquely. Lightningbending would probably be the perfect way to stimulate someone after a long day, heheh

[ice_of_dreams]

well running out of kink ideas to write for this one anyway :) haha I may have to resort to prompts. Nooo don't prompt me though I want to finish a serious fic!!!!! Haha not that this isn't serious... but yeah well. I'm kind of stuck with a justice idea.. T_T

[bombalurima1]

You go, kink machine! XD

Yet another interesting/super hot fic. Oh, poor Zuzu. Never seems to catch a break.

Also, I had no idea that the one little bit I included in my lemon fic would inspire research. Seriously--I threw it in because it seemed like the Zuko-thing to do. I had no idea it would lead on to something like this. :)

Now, I love Dominatrix!Mai as much as the next fangirl....but right now, I'm working on a fic where Zuko's in control. ;)

[ice_of_dreams]

can't believe I didn't see this post. Sorry for the late reply.

Haha well, I didn't really write a lot of the politics into it, just hte general response. :) It's still mostly kink instead of politics. You don't see any politics except from the start.

True control zuko is good too. The first chapter is a control Zuko fic, if you recall. :)
