Title: As the Turn of the Worlds
Chapter Title: Iroh's Tale
Summary: Aang never woke up from the iceberg, and the world went on without him, and without the Avatar. Now, three thousand years later, the Avatar is a barely-remembered myth, bending is regarded as a relic of a rightfully-dead past, and a man smuggles a large box onto a transport ship ( Read more... )

Ah, Sokka, always just that one crucial moment too late is when your brain kicks in.

Loving the simple, concise explanation of the Avatar, and have I mentioned lately that I adore this story and your writing? 'Cause I really really do.

Good job, sweets. :D

Mm, Sokka. He's so much fun.

Thank you! :D

There is SO much good here I don't even know where to start. Suki and Sokka's perpetual motion machine (fueled with UST and now-improved innuendo!) is awesome, Sokka's "let's scam the Fire Lord" is perfectly off the top of his head (loved the part where "Lily and Chong" will be on the Discipline Board), and then there's Toph-Mai-Jet-Iroh awesomeness. Toph's a complete sweetheart under her demeanor, and you've captured that perfectly here. Mai and Katara's reactions are perfect, and I really love how you ended with Katara's big grand plans for mothering Aang (again, and this time with the darling flutterhead realizing that Katara=mommy).

And I must say that the Zuko/Ty Lee/Suki/Sokka ship ride is going to be awesome. Any of them alone is funny, together? Wonderful chaos. Suki even makes extortion look cute.

I've said before that I loved writing that quartet, and the scenes with them on Sokka's ship are some of my favorite in the entire story. Really, anything with Suki and Ty Lee and Sokka all working together was probably entirely too much fun to write.

This chapter is where the story really begins to unfold, I think, with the characters making that irrevocable decision to stick with Aang instead of shrug him off on someone else. Plus, I got to throw in some backstory from Iroh and a little Mai/Jet tension. Win-win, as far as I'm concerned! :D

It makes me really, really happy to see others enjoying this.

Ah, Iroh. So well-intentioned, kind of.

I look forward to Sokka finding out exactly what this inconvenient prince person has to do with his sister *g*

SOKKA/SUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII that is the most coherent thing I have to say about that section--but I love the pacing and the plot and the witty dialogue and hot damn this fic is good. AND THEY'RE ALL OLDER BUT STILL IC i love it so much.

LILY AND CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG HAAHAHAHAHAHAHA you. genius.

oh God that (talking to Ozai) was awesome.

Irooooooooooooooooh and TOPH. oh Toph. Your empathy is surprising and heartwrenching at the same time.

I LOVE Mai's reasoning and the idea of Aang being hope for the Outer Rim and eeeeeeeeek.

MOMMY MODE both a reference to earlier in the fic and Katara's character in general and OH GOD I AM SO EXCITED FOR EVERYONE TO MEET AGAIN and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK knowing there's so much more of this story is like the BEST PRESENT EVER.

:-D
