This is lovely and I like it a lot. Thank You for writing this.

this is absolutely lovely

love the line

They'd made a tiny, tiny person. One for whom they were entirely responsible. One who would get bigger and eventually become a normal-sized person. Who would face the world and do things and be things and some day produce little people of her own making that would continue the chain as it stretched on and on into infinity. They'd made a person.

Love that last line, "...and knew that she'd have a hard time thinking of this part of her life as duty ever again"

Thanks for the work you put into this!

This fic is so sweet and oh-so-well written. You write amazingly, I'm glad I started finding your pieces.

Awe! XD So cute!

Well, they make cute parents. Despite being kind of crazy and all, they definitely have a tender and protective side. I think they'll do fine.

This...This is absolutely gorgeous. It is short and sweet and so neatly captures that moment of Mai being shocked out of the apathy she's constructed to protect herself.

Sweet little epilogue-like piece. Love the way you wrote Mai.

That was crazy cute

Aw, that was so cute! I usually don't read stories with less than 1,000 words, but I'm glad that I made an exception this time! I loved the repetition of the line, "We have a baby," as it emphasized the shock and realization that Mai was going through. The descriptiveness of Zuko's reactions were also really well-written!

nice

Zuko and Mai baby! So cute!

heartwarming, sweet, and utterly real. a lovely, lovely piece at mai's transition from "dutiful broodmare" to mother.

My fave line: "A fear that she had never explicitly articulated and that Zuko had only picked up on once, which caused him to stare across the pillow at her with a look of perfect incredulity, call her crazy, and be generally grumpy for the rest of the day over the insult, to her and to himself, that he perceived in it."

thank you for writing this. :)

Absolutely precious
