You can't leave it there! *howls* YOU CAN'T! GOSH DARNIT! I love this fic, it is wonderfully written. You have a firm grasp on politics and I loved how you have developed Aang's adult character and responsibilities. Yet, I say again, YOU CAN'T LEAVE IT THERE!
*taps foot* more. Now.

Naughty! How can you leave us poor readers hanging from a cliffy like that. Granted it bring us back for more but still. I think this is a wonderful AU story. I wouldn’t let yourself get bogged down in trying to keep everything inline with the TV series. The characters have all matured and you can make allowances. I think Iroh is a pip. Please don’t keep us hanging for long…maybe an update for x-mas! It would make a very nice present

Wow, excellent! I somehow missed this fic and I'm actually sort of glad because it meant that I got to read four chapters all at once...of course, I did get left hanging on a real doozy of a cliffhanger, lol. I loved your depiction of the ceremony and the aftermath, and really, all that preceded it, as well. You really have done a great job of zeroing in on what it must have been like (to some extent, at least) for a girl to have to sacrifice herself for a political alliance. I think that this is far more light-hearted than what occurred historically, but it makes total sense given Katara's background and the Avatar universe itself. All of the ceremony and fussing and tradition is great for the outside world setting off fireworks for the couple and making jests, but it's so distant for them...whereas for Katara and Zuko it's an entirely different perspective. I also appreciated your description of drinking - anyone who's ever had more than he or she should knows that feeling of being in control, yet also knowing that you're entirely drunk...you illustrated it so well! The writing just seemed to rush and blur, but also maintain a sense of intelligence that is EXACTLY that state of inebriation. Most Zutara fics are so hokey and contrived - the characters are OOC and all it takes is a kiss from Zuko's magic lips to get Katara to forget that she was (choose one) tricked, coerced, forced, or abducted into a situation where she has to sleep with him. It's good to see someone write something that isn't ridiculous. Far-fetched (aren't most?), maybe, but ridiculous, no. I know you mentioned you were concerned about OOC-ness, and I think Iroh is definitely spot-on; Zuko, too. At least the image I have of how he would end up after joining up with the Avatar and eventually taking the throne. He's still a bit outwardly emotionally stunted, but he's not incapable of expressing his feelings - cold exterior, fiery interior. Lets his guard down around Iroh in the only way he knows how - tolerating his insanity (and could possibly do the same around someone else, eventually). Katara initially seemed OOC to me, but then after I got to her background, I bought it. People change, and the way you've written her meshes with the history you gave her. I hope, though, that we get to see some of her more "tempestuous" side in the future. Thank you for writing/posting this!!!
