    Great to see you're still writing! I hope your job situation has improved.

    Azula's reaction to the idea of her brother being pregnant was... excessive, to say the least. Wonder what that was all about...

    The dream tied in beautifully to Zuko's reality at the end. You took an interesting angle with Ursa, and you certainly didn't skimp on the more gruesome imagery of her death and the aftermath. It's very saddening to know she's dead in your story; she's definitely a favorite of mine, and her presence could've helped guide Zuko in ways Iroh, unfortunately, can never hope to. The trials of being a mother -- and of being seen as a potential bearer of heirs -- are a burden only she could share with him. It's a regrettable loss, but if she can speak to him through his dreams, it's something.

    Roku's part was nicely executed as well.

    It looks like you're aiming to redeem Azula in some form. While I'm admittedly not a fan of redemption for her (to the contrary), you've presented it in a unique way, so props for that.

    You continue to employ humor in unexpectedly creative ways: "Uncle smiled lightly and took the offered scroll with a soft, “Thank you,” before closing the door on the messenger and untying the ribbon and stuffing the ribbon into his robe. (What his Uncle wanted with that ribbon, Zuko didn’t want to know.)"

    Looking forward to the next installment! Again, I hope things have improved on your end.

    Loving the story... but I would suggest that you move this story to the General section, it would garner more exposure there, or the regular Slash archive instead of the AU archive.

    wow just wow there is so much to talk about!!

    loved Jet's confused lust over zuko and how it's shown, as when he is insulting him he still uses words like " beautiful" to discribe him.

    zuko's characterization was brilliant and so true to cannon with his opinion of his granted death he still sticks around to try to save his uncle instead!!

    really injoying the Kuei/zuko pairing which is still surprizing me as i've never really thought about till i read your story so well done and keep it up ill be following your work :)

    cya next time!! L.D

    You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed my review.

    It's all right. Let the story evolve without having to commit to something you aren't sure of. Even if Zuko and Kuei don't end up together, I'll still enjoy it. :)

    Long Feng/Zuko does seem like more and more of an impossibility now, and that's okay, too.

    The opening interactions with the gAang started off on a light note as Sokka kicked around the idea of Zuko really being a girl, but they quickly darkened with the mention of the miscarriage. Aang was appropriately confused, Toph indignant, and Jet torn by the possibility of the lost baby being his. You do a really good job of portraying emotions and making the transition from one scene to the next.

    The Generals behaved very believably when dealing with a child Avatar, some showing skepticism and others support for Aang.

    Poor Zuko. As soon as Kuei announces the nearing wedding, he also -- unintentionally -- makes the boy feel devalued by the pressure to bear an heir. I wonder how those feelings will play out. Kuei was still very supportive even though the accidental implication, and that will hopefully put Zuko more at ease.

    You made a point of calling Ty Lee tiny, but please note that Azula looks to be only an inch or two taller than her and is rather tiny herself! The official height chart from Comic Con '05 shows her to be 5' even. (Here's a link to it: http://i54.tinypic.com/m8gxzc.jpg) I apologize for the quality, but it's the best I could find. Aang is listed at 4.5 feet (which is another way of saying 4'6"), Azula's head (minus the topknot, which doesn't count) is right at the line for 5 feet, and Zuko looks to be about 5'3". I've noticed many writers tend to make Azula average or even tall, which is erroneous, especially when you look at her in relation to the rest of the cast. More characters are taller than her than shorter. This is a visual tool to keep things in perspective. You hadn't commented on Azula's build, but this could help if you decide to. Ty Lee isn't the only petite girl in the group. ;)

    Ahhh... I really liked this chapter. Its so nice to see the tender feelings between the price and the king, eventhough Zuko feels a bit down.

    I really like this story and I'm happy when ever I see a new chapter.
    I truly hope you will choose Zuko to be with the Earth king. Poor Zuko needs some love in his life and I don't see Jet being able to really give him that.

    What a great read. Your writing style is fluid and eloquent, without talking down to the reader. You've successfully implemented Zuko's condition into canon, making changes when needed and keeping the general atmosphere of the episodes, even down to the dialogue at times. One of the most enjoyable parts, for me, has to be Zuko and Kuei's evolving relationship. I'd never considered this pairing before, but I find myself hoping it'll work out in the end. Kuei would be a wonderful husband for Zuko; he's already proven himself compassionate and genuinely interested in the Prince as a person, which is something Zuko sorely needs. He benefits greatly from stability and kindness, and while Iroh gives that to him in spades, having another source would do him a world of good. A brief shifting to Long Feng/Zuko would be interesting to see before the story's conclusion, as CultOfStrawberry said, but I look forward to whatever you produce. Keep writing, and I'll be eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

    I'm digging Kuei/Zuko, but since you said this might change, I am really hoping there might be some Long Feng/Zuko action even if they don't end up together at the end. That would be so hot, but I am sure that whatever this story ends up as, I'll enjoy it because you're a good writer.
