WTF! Thanks Heaven, i didn't read it yet! But thanks for you, i've lost five minutes of my life, copying this stuff! It may surprise you, but some people use the search by the reason. If i see ZUTARA, i wish to read ZUTARA, nothing else.

You could be a great author, and your story could be the best, but i really will be very disappointed, if i's read it and see something unleasant at the end as Aang. Just change the pairing or write a little note, if the main pairing fix your story.

Hello, and salutations to you. I have been holding off on reviewing for a few days now (due more to my own procrastinating nature than anything,) and even now I'm still floundering for the words. But I'll do my best to tell you my opinion, so please, just bear with me.

When first coming across this fic, I tried to sit down to it, tried to keep in mind that it was *Zutaraang*, not Zutara, but unfortunately became one of those mentioned in your notes at the end, who thought "Oh great, just another Zutara!" and gave up when finishing the most recent chapter up at that time: "Katara?"

After that, I continued looking around and, despite my thoughts picking at it from time to time, eventually sort of forgot about this; then (I can't really remember now why or when,) I spotted it again. Giving in to curiosity, I decided to have another go.

And I am so very glad I did.

I must extend my apologies; I judged this fic prematurely, and I shouldn't have. Instead of some overly cliche piece of fanon, this fic proved to be a well thought-out, deep, gorgeously written piece of art. Even though I was positively overjoyed with the end result, I wouldn't have completely disagreed with a Zutara ending. With every chapter in this fic, it's obvious that you put time and effort into each one, into Katara’s thoughts and feelings and each decision she made about Aang and Zuko, and that - I find that to be a rarity in fanfiction.

When I found opinions of my own addressed in here, I was further intrigued: I found it very interesting indeed to find I wasn’t alone in these thoughts. One major example: Love vs Lust. In every piece of fanart that made me feel something, every theory I’ve seen, it has always fallen with me that Zutara was more about lust and Kataang more about love. That’s one of the reasons I really don’t like Zutara: there’s nothing to suggest they’d ever love each other (even though I am completely aware that love is a force all its own and anything is possible; Zutara is just highly improbable to me.) Not in the way of totally epic love I’ve seen between Aang and Katara, anyway.

I do have one complaint: I feel Zuko is a tad out of character. Around adults, he’s more in control of himself, more assertive; but place him among his peers, and he clams up. He’s pretty shy (yes, I said shy) around his own age group, especially ones he likes/wants to like him. (That’s the kicker right there: I think that if he wanted Katara to like him, he’d be less forward with her, like he was with Jin. With Mai, he already knew how he felt about her, and how she felt about him, so he was a little more comfortable around her and trying less to impress – when they were alone, of course. I guess they both have some ways to go as far as PDA is concerned.) The only experience he had interacting with his own age group growing up was Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai, and that probably speaks for itself. But, with the whole angle of Love vs Lust, you went pretty in character. It’s just a pet-peeve of mine. (And we don’t really know how the two will act around each other anyway, do we?)

Well, this has been a pretty lengthy review, and I don’t think I really got across how quite lovely I found the whole thing. I mean, when Aang walks in on Katara and Zuko, I could feel my heart breaking for him – but I was also feeling for Katara. In the same moment I wanted to strangle her for being so stupid, yet hug her or something, try to comfort her. That is something which is pretty difficult to pull off, and I think you did it marvelously. The imagery, the emotion, the interactions- all were well-written and not just slapped in to impress. I didn’t think it was dragged out (I will admit, I was on the edge of my seat,) though I did want to slap Katara from time to time.

Again, I want to apologize for my lack of patience at first; this is a good read (as far as emotional rollercoaster-rides are concerned,) and it really captured my heart. Congrats on finishing such a beautiful ficcie; it’s well worth rereading a couple-dozen times or more.

Though I ship Kataang, I thought this story was excellent. It shows how Aang and Katara should be together. Excellent job.

You've compeletly sucked me into this story! Well Done! "His posture is tragic" I don't know why... but I just love that line. I'm still astounded at how well you wrap up the chapters, including dialouge and awesome descriptions, in so few words. It's truely inspiring!
