I SHOULD BE ANGRY WITH YOU FOR THESE STRANGE FEELINGS I AM FEELING >:(

(feeeeeeeelings

so many feeeeeeelings)

I love:
- how all of this read like a goodbye, not in a LOL GUYS THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER LET'S WRAP EVERYTHING UP way, but in a sort of gentle way, with things not being so neat or certain, but still being hopeful, like real goodbyes between people who care about each other
- how much Jet is (like Zuko), blind in so many ways so his own growth that is blatantly clear to everyone else
- THEY ARE ALL A FAMILY and things will change but they will always be a family and never stop fighting and THEY HAVE GROWN UP and done it together
- Iroh. Christ, Iroh. Be less the awesomest, okay?
- Smellerbee and Longshot and how they will always know Jet best, and how assured all three of them are of that regardless of what happens
- Everybody CARES SO MUCH ABOUT THINGS. Which I know is the conceit of Avatar to begin with, but you do such a good job keeping that tone even with such radically different circumstances.

The dagger. MORE LIKE THE ~DAGGER IN MY HEART~, AMIRITE?

So yeah.

A THOUSAND TIMES THIS.

Also, sequel plz? I don't ever want this story/universe to end. ;__;

This was the face I made when I read that one part...

[fanged_ferret]

I haven't commented in a while-- holy crap I just exploded. I mean wow, really? Wow. This story has been building up, and it's so beautiful, and when I read your dialogue, I can hear each character's voice in my head, and it's so real-- I've loved reading this, so much so that I'm in tears thinking about it's end, but at the same time, I'm really excited for your conclusion.

Well written, Ali.

Oh wow, I totally set aside everything I was doing to read this.

Auuuuugh this chapter is beautiful. Probably my favourite one yet. I just want to hug Zuko and Jet. Poor boys. ; ;

ALSO I love the part when Zuko met back up with Iroh. And that Iroh hugged Jet too. I aw'd so hard. <3

There has to be an ending to have a beginning...

Thank-you for the journey.

I am about incoherent here. DDDD: BOOOOOOOOOYS. With the and the and the SPLITTING UP and it is so sad and seems so inevitable except MAYBE not but no really I am incoherent. And I HATE reviews that say "I am incoherent" but REALLY THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME.

*griefs*

Don't mind me, really. I'll just be off the corner, gluing my heart-pieces back together.
