I have to admit I was so gutted when I got up to chapter 5 and learned that they wouldn't be together, but your writing was too beautiful and the storyline to compelling for me to stop reading there, so I pushed through and ended up crying through the last chapter. It's been a while since a fic has affected me this much and made me feel so strongly across the spectrum of emotions. This was so incredibly heartbreaking- that they both yearned for each other even though they loved other people and ended up having families with others. Heartbreaking, yet absolutely incredible writing. Kudos!

I am crying i loved dis byee

wow, i love this! the interest between them was so clear but so delicately written. the line "Green was never a good color for us" really got me!
i love iroh and mai's brief appearances- and i liked seeing zuko's love for mai acknowledged along with his affection for katara; there's something especially bittersweet about him being in a happy relationship and still inexplicably yearning for something missing

I am in tears as I write this. After rewatching the series for the 3rd time (And already starting it again for a 4th), this story was my first foray into the world of ATLA fanfiction. I have always loved Zutara but struggled with the obvious pitfalls of the pairing. This story so beautifully embraces those pitfalls and creates a believable, heart-wrenching, and true story. I have found that sometimes the fanfictions I read are truer than canon, and this is such a perfect example. You have ripped my heart out, thank you.

It's 4am and I guess I didn't need my heart anyway - thanks for breaking it with this utterly beautiful, tear-jerking, soul crushing, read-in-one-swoop fic that I'm gonna make my go to for when I feel like my 13 year old self drowning in emo vibes and MCR. I'm about to go explore all your other stories - wish me and my heart luck!

Unspeakably lovely, immaculately written and I am still in tears. Thank you so much.

Absolutely stunning, the writing is gorgeous and deep and beautiful! Thank you!

Wonderfully delicate, beautifully written. The characterizations were excellent, and the way you handled emotion was inspired. Please continue to write!

I fucking hate this story. I fucking love this story. I'm heartbroken.

I want to say that i was hoping for a ‘happy’ ending but I can’t stay bitter since your writing’s just..so nice. But seriously, i love this

Wow, okay. I had to pause after Zuko drove Katara away and then was too late to get her back, and I reassured myself that an AU exists (even if it’s only in my head) in which he didn’t do that. I saw Uncle Iroh’s and Mai’s deaths coming, but stillllllll. And the ending. Omg. I actually teared up. I think it’s the first time fanfiction has ever made me do that, so kudos to you.

This story is so lovely; I love your gentle prose, all the emphasis you placed on the little moments, the symbolic elements you used, the respect with which you treated the canon pairings in this Zutara story, the fluff and the banter and the snark as well as the angst. The ending was heartbreaking but also so beautiful and peaceful. I can’t properly express how much I adored this and I can’t thank you enough for writing this and sharing it.

I don't think I've ever cried this hard over a fanfic. My heart is shattered and yet so full. Beautifully written and definitely a new favorite.

Oh, that is just cruel

No words can be enough to describe how extraordinary this story is. It’s sweet, lovely and warm. But then, at the same time it’s very poignant. I admit, the ending got to me, and that was when I finally cracked. I was crying ugly reading the last few paragraphs. You should really be proud of this, and I really encourage you to pursue writing, or to simply keep on writing. Once again, thank you for writing this story, and for willingly offering it to us readers.

I rarely write reviews on stories (I know, I'm a terrible human bean) but this fic... I just can't not say anything. This story was just so incredible and gorgeous and... so heartwarming. I was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster ride that reading this would take me on. The themes of the seasons and the different colors of the elements, the significance in objects, the characterization, and so much more were just beautiful and perfectly executed. There was also a really nice balance of fluff and angst that I rarely find in fanfiction. This story is a piece of gold and just pure perfection. This was the first time I have ever cried over a fic. That's how beautiful this story was. Thank you so much for writing this. I loved every second spent perusing this story.
