Yay!1

I really like this. The depth of Ty Lee's devotion was poignantly portrayed through her willingness to take the fatal lashes for defying and attacking royalty. Azula's actions were written with thoughtful regard to her character, through both the cruel sadism displayed when she burnt Ty Lee and her unexpected pardoning. At the end, you were able to show her hidden affection for Ty Lee without making it too overt and character-warping. The execution was very well-done.
