First you had me silently howling at Howl defying entropy through fashion, then you dropped an Appa-sized bomb on my heart, and then you left me with SOKKA and his EMERGENCY BEARD.

The Dangerous Ladies one tugged my heartstrings, and the Appa one made me weepy with love for APPA and want to glomp him forever, and then there was POETRY and then all of a sudden I was on the floor and I couldn't breathe for laughing.

So good job! :D

;_____; Dangerous Ladies. Oh my girls. Painful but lovely.

And the I read the Appa one AND CRIED FOREVER WHAT EVEN. MY HEART EXPLODING. Even though this is sweet and happy it somehow took me immediately back to when Appa was LOST and specifically Appa's Lost Days aka the ONLY episode of Avatar I can never, ever, ever, ever rewatch because it just EMOTIONALLY DESTROYS ME. So uh. Tears forever?!?! BUT GOOD JOB.

Sokka and Zuko and Mai and poetry...I HAVE NO WORDS FOR HOW PERFECT THIS IS. Just NONE. NONE. I'mma just sit here like this *____* for a while AHHHHHH OTPEEEEE OTBFFFFFF <333333 So long have I wanted people who are not me to write fic about Zuko writing Mai ridiculous poetry and other such WOOING techniques. MY DREAMS REALIZED AT LONG LAST.

I have no idea what Sun Sword even is but I read it anyway because...Riza. And also Riza having political conversations with another rad lady. Particularly political conversations focusing around delicate gender shit. I ENJOY IT.

Only drunken idiots ever try to give me flowers.

Trufax: when shati gave me the Appa prompt, I opened up my browser to rewatch Appa's Lost Days and then was like, NO, I CANNOT, BECAUSE THEN I WILL WRITE THE SADDEST FIC EVER.

Zuko's wooing techniques are the BEST wooing techniques. Mostly because they fill Mai with lulz which is a good way to woo Mai, I suspect, especially when it is accompanied by ENORMOUS BLATANT EYEHARTS.

The Sun Sword books are cool! They are high fantasy that is very focused on gender and politics and power stuff and does a really good job with believable culture clash. However they are also BRICKS full of Terrible Overwrought Fantasy Names so there are pros and cons. ANYWAY I am glad you enjoyed!

AND YOUR CAPSLOCKING IS MAKING ME MAKE RIDICULOUS BEAMY FACES SO THAT IS OKAY I THINK. :DDDDDDD also sakjsldkjfdsthat comic is so hilarious and SO TRUE. Olivier's awesome (and appreciation of the awesome that is Hawkeye) is THE GREATEST THREAT OF ALL.

I already told you that I love the one you wrote for me. But I'll tell you again. Love it! :D

Oh, Appa. I just want to give him a hug.

HAHAHAHA. Sokka and the beard! Sokka giving Zuko poetry advice! Zuko living under a rock! You captured them perfectly.

I am not,” Mustang says, grim determination in his voice, “losing any more men to Briggs!” Heeeeeee! Team Mustang for the win!

*giggling* I'M GLAD.

Appa deserves ALL the hugs. All the time. I am pretty sure that if Firelord Zuko detailed a division of men to be constantly hugging Appa, it still would not be too many hugs. ALSO I am glad you enjoyed these! :D

So, I remembered that I still had this open in a tab and had been consistently failing to leave feedback like the terrible person that I am! These are all wonderful! My favourite has to be Roy and Riza and their careful navigation of new territory (and Breda's Utter Lack Of Comment On This)- it's lovely and gentle and understated, just the way they are. The Briggs one is hilarious- I can completely see Olivia trying to get her hooks into Mustang's team, just to spite him.

Also Appa :( :( why is he fictional? I want to hug him a lot. Though the amazing, epic dorkiness of Zuko's poem made me feel a bit better.

In conclusion, I hope you do not mind my friending you (all I ever wanted was friends!!) due to your persistent awesomeness.

:DDDD I am beaming all over my face now. Thank you so much! also I am EXTREMELY EXCITED about this 'friending' thing because, uh, if you hadn't noticed, I have been fangirling basically everything you have ever written for FMA kind of a lot and basically I think you are super awesome? um yes.

(Also: I wrote the Briggs one, and posted it, and then later I had a sudden terrified realization that Fuery's letter owed so much to your Falman letter in First Few Desperate Hours it might as well have been an accidental unauthorized sequel. So uh I AM SORRY ABOUT THAT.)

Ha, and now you get to see what a gigantic weird nerd I am beneath the façade! My hideous true form etc.

Your Fuery letter is ADORABLE so do not apologise! He sounds a heck of a lot happier about the situation than Falman in FFDH!

I am faintly reassured by the fact that I am mostly incapable of hiding what a gigantic weird nerd I am from the world, so at least you know what you are getting into . . .? I HOPE.

Hahaha, well, Fuery is always happier about situations than Falman. Falman is the Eeyore of FMA (which is why I love him!)
