And now we're in our 30s, 40s and (some of us) 50s, and instead of being home from college, we're off doing stuff with distant friends and family and can't read the good new stuff until we get back and can check the site from work the next day...

...which probably explains why only one person's commented on the new Drunkard's Walk Steplet I posted on Christmas Eve. Stupid Bob.

Ah, anyway, back to topic. I will take this moment to formally applaud and explicate my enjoyment of the bonus scene. I am, as always, enjoying the way you rescue a villain from their source and give them a turnaround without really changing their personality. I can't help but heark back to the "Holmes on Homes" scenes in whatever thread it was they were in, and envisioning Zuko and Ty Lee inspecting the renovations made to Azula and nodding approvingly. (While Ty Lee murmurs, "Where's the romantic subplot? We paid for a romantic subplot!")
