wow. i'm six years late, but my god, this is amazing.

it's short and dark and i don't even like ship zuko/katara but i do now? ngl i'm a slut for dark!fics for children series, so this! fic!

i highly doubt you're going to see this, but you're a talented writer. my god, you're too talented

I liked this, even though it wasn't very clear and slight ooc for them to be driven to the point of nearly killing each other, especially on Katara's part. But my absolute favourite part is your line "the storybooks we read as children didn't tell us that the monsters under our beds are the creatures we become when w grow up and the world turns us into broken, angry things". It's really beautiful and good use of it, especially with Katara, because her "childhood" love would be Aang, but she would grow up in this cruel world and find Zuko instead. Really loved that line, well done!

the zutara ship in a nutshell; fucked up yet so so addictive.

Coolness.

Like past reviewers have said, very dark yet how bittersweet. I enjoyed your halves of the quotation.

BRAVO! I like what you did there, and uploaded on my birthday to boot, I wonder how I missed that.

So tragic and dark. My favorite lines were: "She wheeled, and ran blindly forward. She needed to get away. She needed to get away so badly. It shouldn't have to hurt this much, and she needed to get away before she did something that they would both regret.

And so she did."

So powerful and effective at the same time. Love this story!

Very well written piece. I know you likely intend it to be a one-shot, but it would lend itself well to a longer work.

Wow? I think that pairing is interesting but somehow I never really read much of it? Anyway, Im glad I read this story because you wrote thst wonderful! :)

Wow. That was an amazing oneshot. Intense, in terms of both action and emotion. I'm only a bit curious about when this took place - before or after Zuko joined the Gaang. If it was before, then it makes more sense for Katara to be so intent on killing him.

One thing I noticed: You said "every name under the name", was that supposed to be "sun"?

Overall, good job. Keep writing!
