Please continue this story! It is incredible!

Beautiful story!

This was wonderful! The world and cultures you created were absolutely stunning, and the way you wrote was beautiful. I absolutely adored this story

An absolutely fantastic story! The world-building is wonderfully done, not to mention the way you've chosen to write language and culture contrasts as well. Should you ever choose to return to this story, many of us will eagerly return as well!

A phenomenal story. Know that if you’re ever in the mood to update there will be plenty of people waiting.

I hope you come back to this some day. It's a really great story.

(this should be for the next chapter but it won't let me post it there)

i just happily - no, delightedly - sacrificed 25% of my semester grade to spend a full 18 hours reading this story (give or take). oh please, please please let there be more...!

hey i know its 2020 but this fic made me cry like 3 times and i dont even ship zutara

if u ever update i would be eternally grateful

I love this! I hope you find to time and peace to continue this lovely story

This is such a fantastic story. Excellent worldbuilding and excellent writing. I’m glad that the story seemingly ended on a happy note. I imagine an epilogue where Iroh brings tea to the waterbenders and vacations there for a few months every year.
Also the Sokka and Zuko bromance was everything. Not a lot of fic writers get it right and I just love that you wrote it the way you did. The amount of times I just grinned stupidly at this story—

I’m not saying you should post this on AO3 if you haven’t yet, but you should post this on AO3 if you haven’t yet.

I just finished reading and I loved every part of your story! I could really feel all the passion you put through it, especially the interesting description of the Waterbenders's life. This is the first zutara fic I read, and now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna read every fic you wrote
Thank you so much for this 3 3 3

I think this is my third or fourth time reading this fic and every single time I’m just in awe of how good it is. In like every way. It’s not just the kind of fic I love to read, it’s the kind of fic—the kinda of story I aspire to write. It sticks with you for YEARS after you’ve finished it the first time and you just keep coming back to it over and over and over again.

Oh! I dont know if its the end or not ... All that time I saw the chapters count I thought we couldnt have Zuko and Iroh's reunion, and , well , even if its the unofficial end and its a bit abrupt, Im still happy about how it turned up , beautiful
Now Ill just have to imagine Iroh having an extended vacation there, charming the pants of the Water Tribe folks and being so proud of his nephew and his family :)

Your story is just so amazing... Even if I saw your fic in many many recs, I didnt expect to like a Slave! fic so much.

You are such a good writer.

I knew it already, as Im spell bounded since the beginning of that fic, but it surprised me when I teared up ... at the symbolic of canoe carving, of all things.

Since 24 chapters we learn of the Water Tribe through the practical day to day and some words and concepts, like Zuko in the foreign land.
When Aang translate and explain for him, I couldnt help but feel the relief and wonder , as Zuko would have , of finally understanding the depth, symbolic and spiritual aspects that were hidden from him, with the culture and language barrier. That something as practical as building a canoe could be heavy with meaning, that the silent carver could spin such poetry about his craft.

So he learn more about the Tribe, their customs, but also about those people that adopted him as their own.

Its beautiful, and the fact its working so well for me emotionally is especially because its happening so late in the story, how he learned to love the water tribe and its people empirically first. An understanding beyond words that transcend barriers.

I also teared up when he got freed, but that was expected XD
