Zukaang Week Day Two: Impossible Odds

God, this story is just a mess. It's what I get for waiting until 9:30PM to start, and trying to watch Supernatural while I'm writing.
I thought I was going to do something tackling the issue of Aang and Zuko needing offspring, but dracomaleficium did such an awesome job with her story that I don't think there would be much I could bring to the table. I had ( Read more... )

Firebending lessons! I do love me some Firebending lessons :) It's such a cool opportunity for bonding time and exploration of chemistry between these two and we see so little of it in the show, so every time someone does a fic about it, it makes me happy. And this was fun. A little disconnected, true, but fun - the dialogues especially. You do write some great dialogue with the boys, their voices are exactly right. And Zuko being the Big Scary Teacher trying to intimidate the student into obedience and diligence - that's right, Zuko, keep scaring the kid, it'll sure make him practice more XD It's just so him. Also, the little snippets of life in the Western Air Temple, like Teo breaking a wheel, Katara spying on their training, Sokka being lazy by the fire, and Zuko's "quirks" that Aang observed - all of that was simply lovely.

Also, Aang hatin' on the hot squats and having an outburst about it - genius. Because Zuko would be the kind of teacher who treated "breaks" as some exotic, barbarian concept best approached with a long stick ( ... )

I do really like thinking about/exploring/reading stuff in the Western Air Temple. It was such a neat setting, and like you said, so many opportunities for bonding time. The glimpses we got in the show are some of my favorite.

And thank you for what you said about the dialogue. I try to keep everyone in character, so I really like to hear that! It's very hard for me sometimes, haha, and some bits of dialogue take a lot of deliberation.

Oh yes, Zuko is a merciless teacher. Katara needs to have a talk with him like she did with Toph.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! <3
