Ooh, I really liked this. Aang's voice was perfect, a true extension of his canon character; I could HEAR him saying all these things. Especially gem lines like "I was never supposed to be anyone's adversary ... but thanks, I guess." And I like the backwards, counterintuitive wisdom of letting Azula go not only a. so she can avoid a bad fate in prison, but b. so she can wreak havoc like she was always meant to do, and put the world a little more in balance.

That was actually great. Like very good.

That was awesome. Great job!

excellent fic. I particularly liked the background story: it gave Aang depth.

Brilliant! So in character and well written. Loved the ending!

sorry, but i did kinda see that coming (NOT MEANING TO CRUSH YOUR SOUL OR ANYTHING!) it's really only because i see things a bit differently than others most of the time, i guess. i love the story! it made absolute sense and even made me laugh a bit.

this is absolutely brilliant - i love the theme of yinyang/balance that you've woven into it. it's certainly fitting for the universe and for the characters, and in fact it makes perfect sense because the avatar is about balance after all, and peace is really only just half of the equation. kudos!

For a second there I swore she was gonna kiss him. Can't decide if I am glade or not that she didn't oddly enough.

Regardless, I enjoyed that. It was amusing and it was a nice take on the Avatar's role in the world. I especially liked the those last few lines. They were perfect.

What I didn't see coming was her punching him in the eye. LOL. All over, a good oneshot, though. Great job.

Huh... I was expecting something dark and dreadful and would probably depress me, but that was... really good. Not to say that dark and depressing can't be good, but you really took it in an interesting direction! Great job.

I, I love this. Just ADORE it. It's witty, clever, and fun, and it shows a more mature Aang without breakign character. And I love how you made Azula laughable while still being realistic. This was very well done.

Wow... I've always wondered what happened to Azula. This makes sense...

That was one of the best Azulaang stories I have ever read, quite honestly. I have written four Azulaang fics myself, but none even remotely compare to the insightful perspective you portray in this. The somewhat not-so-obvious allegory with the mouse and the cat is clearly the most interesting aspect -it is the kicker that made me think about the whole lesson learned. It is like Yin and Yang -both intermingle a bit and blend together. Azula is capable of being both cat and mouse and so is Aang. And your word choice -beautiful and creative; the imagery conceived is simply breathtaking. To sum up everything that I could possibly say, but cannot due to review character restriction, I'll end this with a well-deserved favorite. Excellent work.

Interesting. Yet if Azula, being the evil bitch that she is, decides to kill it, will all be on Aang's head.

You were right, I didn't see the punch coming.
