I liked that

AWESOME STORY! Love the ending too! Here's a tip, do a sequel for this. Use the song :Candle on the Water from Pete's Dragon. It'd be really cool. Just something to keep in mind.

MOTHER OF GOD. WAY TO MAKE A PERSON HAVE ALL THE FEELS! AMAZING WORK

Wow. That was incredible. You've managed to capture the emotions accurately. You gave us such vivid and poignant scenes. If you hadn't told me about the ending, I probably would have cried while reading it. I could feel Asami's suffering; the debilitating fear and constant dread. Waiting is always the hardest part. :( She gave me the impression that she was convincing herself and preparing herself for the worst, but she's still hoping deep inside, like a pessimist who wants to be proven wrong. I can see why people have been asking more of this from you haha! Great job, as expected!

This was a beautiful one-shot, and so well written. You captured the emotion wonderfully.

i love it. so sweet. this was a great read.

Awe, so touching. I feel all misty eyed.

This made me cry. Military service is a rough thing for the family of the soldiers and this depicts quite well what happens with most families. I loves it, but why the Fire Nation as a dangerous palce? The earth kingdom sound way more dangerous, but then again this is an AU. Great Fic!

What a heartwarming story! Perfect for the holidays. :)

lovely! This seems like an AU. Although I'm not a fan of AUs in general, i liked this because the story scope was so narrow that it almost felt like Korra was off doing her Avatar duties with the promise to return after a few weeks but couldn't make it on time because she got injured.

I hope someone just writes a korrasami story with what i just described hahaha.
Looking forward to more of your korrasami works!
Thanks!

Answers to the last two questions...
1 - I left the interpretation that Korra was deployed in service of the United Forces as the Avatar a little vague. You could say that she was essentially enlisted, seeing as there's no bending involved in this story, but I figured the deployed concept didn't require any confirmation within the context. My bad.

2 - Okay, so here's my view on Korrasami. I don't think that the relationship needed confirmation of Korra or Asami being gay/bi/straight or whatever because in my mind, the relationship just works. Take Grey's Anatomy for example - Callie was straight in the early seasons, having married George and had a kid with McSteamy. But, later on she ends up in a relationship/married to Arizona. After so long, the creators finally decided to confirm their status, creating a dialogue in the show where Arizona stated she'd always been gay and Callie was essentially bi, but in the beginning she just loved a girl. I sort of look at Korra and Asami like that. I think who they are as individuals make them work together, more so than I think Mako and Korra do. But, even in some scenarios, I think Korra and Mako could work as well (in fact, I have a Makora fic in my head that I'll write soon). Does that answer that question?

Great story but I have one question, did korra enlist, and if not how do you force the avatar to be deployed?

not bad writing. i have asked others this... when did korra become gay?

I don't usually ship korrasami, but you did an awesome job with this story.

Aww Korrasami!

I'm not ready for the finale!
