This is brilliant! The way you have worked backwards, so we know a little bit and then discover the origin later on - super brilliant! (now I get the title, haha!) And I love that even with such short snippets, we get a feeling for each personality, so much in so little. Anyway, I love it.

Epic

good work
PS the Yu Yan FTW

this is slighly terryfying.

Oooo, interesting! True, we never hear of the Avatars before Yangchen. Marvelous work! Your writing is excellent!

Nice job.

hmm... i don't get really what timeline this takes place in. maybe i missed something

Holy crap this was really good. Creepy and emotionally evocative and though provoking. I loved it.

I absolutely love your speculations. Your stories for these characters bring such a life to their roles and the building of the world the show shows us. It's really incredible.

And... are these stories getting further and further back in time? Going backwards? That's such a cool structure. Took me a while to see it, but it really fits well with the whole past lives and avatar deal.

A circle has no end. *claps*

"Countdown" backwards? Feels a little odd to read it and then go back over it. Not sure if I like it, but experimenting is always good.

I like the idea about other avatar. Particularly the one that destroy the world.

I also liked Himiko best. Just because Roku didn't take the offer doesn't mean others wouldn't. Power should be a burden.

There is not much attension paid to past avatars. Himiko was my favourite. She was so different than others. At the beginning I was a little confusted, but I like this whole idea by writing history from the end. Was Shuurei a nun like these ones in ep. "Bato" or more in Air Nomad sense?

This is incredible! I had no idea that you had written them, or posted them, backwards. I didn't know until I had my brother read this, and I read it when you posted it on LJ but I was too exhausted to give you the proper review it deserved. Absolutely stunning! Amazing!
