...must...not...succumb into...temptation...I have projects due next week...I'll read lat-

Fuck it, I'll read now. I can't not read it after days of waiting...:P

Interesting chapters, though I must honestly tell you now that I really don't care for chapters that aren't Zuko-Katara centric...I get that they're vital to the story but...still...

I have a hunch that you'll write in the Ember Island players into the story and that Katara's current situation would be in the play...just a hunch :)

When will they finally dock? They've been on the ship for like 80% of the story. The story's moving around pretty slowly and I can't even Imagine how many chapters it will be...not that I'm complaining ;) The more the better, I'm just insanely curious how long this story will be. Also, how, just how will Katara be able to love Zuko?

Gah, I don't wanna bury you with incessant questions :) Update real soon and good luck with everything.

W/ Love,

Mimi

I really liked the chapter with Akesato, when she told Zuko how hard it will be to earn Kataras... I don't know trust, affection? I think I see what you are trying to achieve, as in Zuko changing Kataras view of him and that he really cares about her now, but the way you wrote Katara, strong-headed, independent character, I don't think he can sway her, without making her ooc. In the chapter where he asked Ching Pei to teach him how to do a massage, you finally wrote that Ching Mei was healed by Katara, which I already suspected, but I wonder what hidden agenda has Azula. Did she cared enough about the little girl? Somehow I don't think so ;)

So Zuko now stooped so low to drug Katara to use her? Wow that's low. BTW does Katara know how to blood-bend in your story?

I don't think Ozai approves Katara as a possible wife for Zuko, or did I miss something? :) So Zuko is obsessed with Katara like Ozai is with Ursa, but till now didn't realized it? The interaction between Katara and the female doctor was very insightful, but also sad. I now wonder if the man who brought her sister back was the same person as the guard form shift three?

BTW what happened to the chapter with Toph and Iroh in Firefountain City?

I knew Katara was pregnant. Damn you Zuko! You'd better hope Katara can still have children! I'm proud of him for finally putting Mai in her place though. That was long over due.

I was grinning from ear to ear when Zuko made Mai apologize to Katara. Easily one of my favorite chapters thus far.

Oops. This chapter belongs in one of your Naruto stories.

I hope you don't mind my recurring nagging and sorry for my English (I'm not native speaker). Yes, Zuko does believe many things (more like he just lies to himself to cope with his shitty life), but he knows for sure that Katara is only his concubine due Ozais will, so the be my queen part is bullshit and dangers one for her (Sakura is a tragic example what could happened). I'm not quite sure, if you meant with the Bingwens magic words the faze "I love you", but come on... only men could think something like that would amend something so horrible that happened to Katara. Like... "Yes... I did raped you... my bad that you are probably barren and Oops I killed our unborn, but come on I reallllly love you."

Coming back to your answer in chapter 89, I'm not quite how to understand their relationship would be normal. You mean the beginning or the whole thing?

I wonder if Zuko will learn to control his temper, but I doubt it. I really liked Kataras POV in this chapter.

Let me start off by saying...Great chapter. Had my eyes popping out in curiosity and I want to read MORE!

I have to agree w/ the other reviewers about the 'falling-in-love-w/-abuser' thing. As I said before, I ship Zutara like crazy, but it's kinda impossible to imagine Katara ever being happy w/ Zuko in this story...BUT, I wanna see how you'll pull it off.

I kinda guessed in the last chapter that Katara was pregnant...I mean...it was obvious.

Can't wait for the next update, and good luck to you!

W/ Love,

Very intense and sad chapter. I hope Katara didn't lost the ability to bear children.
I wonder, if she will call Zuko on his lies, because Zuko must know that he gives empty promises, because besides that his father would never allow this, the way you describe the Fire Nation (I love it by the way how you created the cultural differences) I don't think they would approve a marriage of a concubine. How you want to get Katara and Sokka to even trust Zuko, I have no idea.

Holy shit, poor Sakura!
