Oh, Suki fic! This was lovely. I like how the end represents a new beginning of sorts (and Ty Lee! Love her too).

Lovely!

That was lovely. Suki's such a great character--it's nice to see more of her. *g* I especially liked these bits:

There were no tears when they parted, because she was a Kyoshi warrior, and she'd discovered the world was small.

and:

She wished for her mother's remedy, a tincture of ground leaves and tea, and then put thoughts of her mother from her mind. There was a years-old tear on the breast of her robes, mended carefully with matching thread. Every night she ran her fingers over the stitching, wondering what wound she would finally bear.

Excellent.

This is exquisitely delineated in light and shadow, ink and black canvas. I'm really impressed.

Ahhhh I managed to miss this and that is terrible because it is lovely. The language is gorgeous (not that I would expect otherwise, from you; you always have such a wonderful, lyrical style), the imagery is great and oh Suki, and oh, thank you so much, I love it. *_____*
