Yo, so where all ma readers at? XD Here's a thread for my one lonely but very long saga, so if you want to discuss something about upcoming chapters or your theories/predictions for where the story is heading, feel free to post. Poll: Should I post teasers for and/or excerpts from upcoming chapters in this thread? Title: Fire and Ice www.fanfiction.net/s/8116098/1/Fire-and-IcePairing(s): Zutara, Tokka, Urzai (with brief scatterings of Kataang, Jinko, Maiko, and others) Genre: Action/Adventure/Romance Rating: T Status: In-progress Original Summary: A Zutara epic that begins with a simple question: What if Zuko joined the team following "The Chase?" It is more than one prince of fire whose redemption saga unfolds across a journey through a desert and into Ba Sing Se, a capture by the Fire Nation and a rescue by an unforeseen ally, a betrayal by family and, to save this love, a sacrifice by the one least expected to give it. First Revised Summary: A Zutara epic that begins with a simple question: What if Zuko joined the team following "The Chase?" When darkness is everywhere, it will always win—unless there is a flame strong enough to light the world. Love is the strongest of fires, but will it be enough? Or will it take the most unusual and dangerous of spirit bonds to turn the tides of war? Second Revised Summary: A Zutara epic that begins with a simple question: What if Zuko joined the team following "The Chase?" In a saga that moves beyond love, beyond fate, we embark on a journey that rewrites canon as it confronts the most dangerous questions—such as what comes of destiny when the tides of war rest on a spirit bond between a young waterbender and the most feared man in the world?

Hi, it's me again XD. Yes to the teasers! Especially since I'm guessing updates between now and winter break will be few and far between, at best. I saw you updated recently but I haven't read the chapter yet...will get to it! I'm so excited that this story still has a loooong way to go. I love long epic sagas

*Claps* Yay! Glad to hear you're excited for where the story will be taking us. The saga is indeed long, but it is the journey and not the destination that is most enjoyable in life, isn't it?
Hmm . . . okay, here are some hopefully interesting teasers for you:
1) At the end of the next chapter (not my latest update from yesterday, but at the end of "From What I've Tasted of Desire: 8"), your soul may be plunged into emotional turmoil. As hinted at the end of yesterday's update, someone will probably (read: someone will) die during my version of Lake Laogai. However, who is the question you will have to wait to discover.
2) The death above is not the death I hinted at in my introduction. Oh, no. That heart-wrenching sacrifice by the person least expected to give it is made nearly at the very end of the saga (towards the conclusion of the ninth part). And it will definitely rip all of your emotions out of your body. All of them.
3) Curious as to the identity of Katara's dream man? He makes his first appearance (and Katara recognizes him) at the conclusion of "I Hold With Those Who Favor Fire: 2." That's right. Just five more chapters of uncertainty and then you will have your answer.
So . . . did that satisfy some of your curiosity or just make it worse? XD

1) I am now afraid 2) I am even more afraid Why?! Why must you do this to your readers? !!!! asdfaljsdfljasdf 3) I'm really excited about this one! But ...five more chapters is a long time to wait...so yeah, you've made my curiosity worse XD For the last few chapters I kept thinking that I'd figured it out and then you threw me for a loop. I've settled on an answer but I'm gonna keep it to myself because I know I'll be wrong and when you actual reveal it I'll be all DURRRR how could I not have seen that coming? I'm interested to see how the Urzai develops. Em Dixon's backstory for Ursa (Lily of the Valley) was fantastic and I basically have accepted that into my headcanon. I've never read any other Ursa/Ozai fics so it'll be interesting to see how you portray them.

*Le gasp* Oh, this is terrible! As a major Urzai fan, I should have heard of all their fanfictions, but somehow this one eluded me. I'm guessing by your comment above that I should probably go check it out since it's probably a good one. XD
Also, no guess is a poor guess. From what I'm understanding, most readers have narrowed it down to either Ozai or Roku and are stuck between those two (I'm sensing a 50/50 split based on reviews and PMs). Whether it's one of them or someone else entirely, you will discover quite soon.

Bahaha, I had guessed first Roku and then Ozai...now I'm not so sure because while many of the hints point to one of them, not everything seems to fit with what I know about these characters...
As for Lily of the Valley, well, you should check it out but it's full of angst and bad/sad feels all around and obviously doesn't have a happy ending. It's a story focusing on Ursa and the people around her, including Ozai, but I wouldn't really say it's Urzai (more of an Ursa and Ozai + other major players).

Rah rah rah why must no Urzai stories end happily?! *Sad* Well, at least it will definitely be interesting to read this backstory to see how mine differs or doesn't.
Also, entirely unrelated, but I woke up this morning and saw Mrs Pettyfer (my hero! my inspiration! a shining beacon of brilliancy!) has added "Fire and Ice" to her favorites list. I literally got off my chair and rolled around on the floor for a few minutes panicking at the epicness of situation. Then I got back on my chair and had some corn flakes with cold milk. It was a good morning.

I just left a massive word-vomit review, but I figured I'd tell you on here that I am currently in love with F&I right now. I'm dying for an update. Dying.

*Mouth drops* Wh-what? The most glorious and illustrious and magnificent Like A Dove likes my writing?! You, madam, have just made my day. And per your review, it appears that you are probably dying for a real Zutara kiss. I'll tell you this: the first mutual one happens at some point during "I Hold With Those Who Favor Fire" (the fourth part). And I've already got it written and it's (hopefully) beautiful, so ha! XD
But first, we must get through "From What I've Tasted of Desire: 10" and my version of "The Crossroads of Destiny." Oh, whatever shall Zuko decide this time.

You see that's funny because while Roku would make sense, well, he's dead. XD And despite Aang being the Avatar and able to conjure him up, my first instinct was Ozai because he IS alive. And well, Lady Avatar here is a twisty twisty person! @@ I know ONE of my (many) guesses was right she said but WHICH I do not know.She did not tell me and we all must wait and angst in the mean time.
