Best chapter in this new batch. I didn't like the major shift in tone at first, but I love this chapter even on its own.

Thank you very much. I'm glad the sudden shift didn't ruin the reading experience for you.

Aw man.

I loved the Zuko-Azula-Katara-Sokka thing. Just lovely, as of course was Zuko's anguish, is misinterpretation of Aang's words, him turning to Aang to lean on as soon as he offers without hesitation really shows how much Zuko trusts him and how much things have developed. He doesn't have to think about it, he just does it.

Plus of course the fact of Azula being there and in their camp is a possible later complication (Even unconcious, Azula makes the world complicated, its something both she and Zuko share, though Zuko tends to make things complicated for HIMSELF and UN-intentionally on the show). What do they do now?

What will the others say to Azula? What will happen when Azula wakes up?

(Waits in anticipation).

Thank you. I can't help but see how the Sokka-Katara and Zuko-Azula sibling sets parallel against each other. And Aang makes for the perfect crutch for Zuko, and Zuko has realized that now as well.

There's going to be a lot of stuff happening soon, so I really hope I will be able to adress the Azula-issue properly even then.

Another lovely chapter. My favorite bit here was Katara's recognition of how her brother feels, seeing a younger sister die in a brother's arms. It's powerful. But all of this chapter really touched me, it was inspiring and beautiful. I really don't have much else to say. What a fantastic, fantastic job.

Thank you. I was a bit worried that this might have turned out a bit too dramatic, so I'm glad people approve.

I am so glad this series is still being written. I hate when I finally get into an older fandom and all the stories are half-finished. :)

This series! All of the characters are amazing. I also like how you write- it's pure storytelling, and I really enjoy it. :D

[darth_animus]

Thank you. I also share that same pet-peeve of unfinished stories, so I suppose I'm more likely to actually finish my own story. XD

Lifebending - oh man, I've told you you're brilliant already, right?
Seriously, this was wonderful. It's such an incredibly creative take on things, while still being authentic to the show. ATLA always plays with the idea that there is a good and bad side to everything, especially with firebending, and I really like how you've taken that further here. It's faithful to the source material while being something totally original all the same.

Lean on me
GUHPERFECTION :')

Thank you. When I first got the idea for life bending (back in the chapter where Zuko learned to lightning bend) I was constantly worrying over what the response would be once I introduced the ability. I'm glad I went through with it now. ;)
