I don't really have the time at the moment* to go through and note every little bit that had me grinning, point-by-point, but I can definitely say that ow ow ow my cheeks they hurt from grinning so much. I like this, I really, really do.

A couple of quick bits, off the top of my head:

- I was afraid at first when you introduced Shinzen that he'd turn out to be the long-running Designated Villain type; I'm glad to see that reversed. One of the things I like about EPU stuff is that it usually *isn't* that predictable.

- Ye gods but Karana's good cheer is infectious. I like her! I assume she's an original?

- Speaking as someone who has seen this a couple times before (here, I think), but who has not watched (and probably won't watch) TLoK... is the Air Nomads Are Fun At Parties thing a canon bit? I sort of hope so, because it would introduce a bit of humor in what really seems from the outside like a horribly depressing series. :) I was a huge fan of AtLA, but tried watching one (I'm told, the first) episode of TLoK and didn't get hooked; rather the opposite, I came away feeling mightily bleh about it. Everything I've seen since then just sounds... frustrating.

(* I feel like an ass saying that because, hey, you spent the time to write it, but time is not on my side at the moment. :( )
