*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 are a big fat tease! Though from the picture you have, you are neither fat nor big (not necessarily together in all instances =P). But you ARE a meaniepie for making us wait. Author-me understands. Reader-me just screams NOOOOO!!! NOWWWW!!! XD Lolll. But it is WORTH the wait! =3 You make me super duper happy my dear! But WHYY??!! WHY MUST YOU KILL OFF YOUR CHARACTERS??!! T_T_T I hate death. I hate it. I can't kill them easily. If i make a decision to kill a character I'm going to BAWL along the way. And stress soooo bad. @@_@@ But it'll take a lot of work from me if I am to kill anyone who is an ACTIVE character. I can kill background people yea. But the main peeps? @@ Hurrr. How do you do it without bursting into TONS of tears?

You've already written the kiss it exists and yet I still won't get to read it for awhile criiieeeeeesssss. But you know, right now it's not even about the kiss (although I'm excited), I just want Zuko to stop acting like a silly goose and get it together. I swear, I'll be mad at him for a looooong time. >:( Stupid Zuzu.

How do you do it without bursting into TONS of tears? I’m trying to work on this next chapter and I’m literally bawling so hard I don’t know if my heart will be able to handle it. There are few challenges in writing greater than realizing a certain character’s time has come and then overcoming your personal emotion response. I am not immune to this pain. T___T But you know, right now it's not even about the kiss (although I'm excited), I just want Zuko to stop acting like a silly goose and get it together. I swear, I'll be mad at him for a looooong time. Stupid Zuzu. Agreed. Zuko is being a perfect jerk at the moment and a silly turtleduck to boot. In the fourth part, there will be extensive Zuko/Katara conversation with regards to what happened that night he pushed her into the pie, but in the meantime, yes. I would like to slap Zuko very much and tell him to GO KISS KATARA ALREADY RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (but alas, my characters do as they see fit). Also, m’dear, I have some potentially good news for you. My writing muse is being kind to me today, and all of the amazing support and motivation I received in the past few days is really pushing me to gogogo (for instance, someone PMed me today on FFN to say you blogged about “Fire and Ice” on Tumblr—this means a lot to me, so thank you!). Because of this, I think I might have the next chapter done within the next week rather than in December. Boom. In the meantime (I think I posted this somewhere, but now I don’t remember) enjoy this excerpt from “From What I’ve Tasted of Desire: 8”: And this excerpt from “From What I’ve Tasted of Desire: 9” (a small snippet of Katara’s final vision for quite a while):

You are MEAN. MEAN, I TELL YOU.
Going by the first snippet you posted, I'm guessing either Jin or Iroh is on the chopping block. I'm going to lean toward Iroh, simply because I don't think Zuko would have an emotional response like that if it was just Jin. I'm sure he likes Jin, but maybe not that much. It could also be Jin's little sister. I could buy that.
As for the second. Waaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
And an update before December?! Yes please! :D

You are MEAN. MEAN, I TELL YOU. Not so mean if I'm going to update in the next few day, hmm? XD And good theories on the first section! We'll find out quite soon if one of your guesses is right, m'dear.

That awkward moment when the language is so colorful that I'm not even sure if it's praise or . . . ? o___o Author: LadyAvatar Story Title: "Fire and Ice" Completed: 29/92 chapters. Link: www.fanfiction.net/s/8116098/1/Fire-and-IceWarnings: Addresses Kataang, Maiko, etc. MAJOR FUCKING CHARACTER DEATH.Other Included Ships: Tokka Does not disregard: Kataang, Jinko, & Maiko Summary from FFN: "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?" So I started to read some of the fucking fanfics recommended in this thread, and mother of all I had the goddamn luck to pick goddamn “Fire and Ice”, the piece of shit by Lady Avatar [is she supposed to be Aang’s wife?] that successfully managed to ruin every fucking afternoon I could ever hope to have in my entire life. Spoiler goddamn alert for any asswipes who didn’t realise it upon waltzing in. The fanfic was all fine and dandy as a tub of melt-in-your-mouth cotton candy until the last fucking chapter. You know, the writer actually addressed Jinko and Kataang and all the other ships that most authors just chuck into the trash like two-month-old congealed milk so spoiled it’s probably gained sentience by now. What a fucking wonder. And shit did she make all the characters loveable enough for me to eat my sickles rather than continuing frolicking in a saccharine wonderland baked entirely out of Betty Crocker mix with some delicious teen angst and drama thrown in to taste. Who am I fucking kidding, I read the whole thing in one sitting. Until the last fucking chapter.I could shit miles of rage snake to choke the author until Koh the fucking Face Stealer himself showed up to stop me by forcing me to deepthroat a chainsaw. My anger at the whole goddamn story is powering my entire apartment is how fucking enraged I am right now. Because – spoiler alert, again, bluh bluh – I wasted eight fucking hours not getting up from my computer mindlessly clicking ‘Next Chapter’ like a hypnotised bovine until by the time I was finally done and tried to stand up, I immediately fell over and couldn’t move for another half-hour because my legs were fucking dead-weight asleep hibernating bears or some shit like that. And do you want to know what I got for all of my efforts? Iroh. Fucking. Died.
WHAT THE HELL WHO THE HOW THE FUCK DOES SOMEONE EVEN PULL THIS WITHOUT AUTOMATICALLY COLLAPSING INTO A PILE OF DEPRESSION, TEARS, AND A DESPERATE NEED TO HUG THE SHIT OUT OF SOMEONE AFTER CRYING ON HIS SHOULDER FOR HOURS. I hope the author knows a good goddamn therapist because she’s going to need one, both for herself and to recommend him to every single fucking reader of her fucking piece of shit story. I should sue her for psychological damage. But you know what? I’M JUST GOING TO KEEP HER STORY BOOKMARKED ANYWAY BECAUSE THE WRITING AND PLOT IS TOO FUCKING METAPHYSICALLY PERFECT FOR ME TO STOP EVEN THOUGH I WANT TO STAB MYSELF WITH A CULLING FORK REPEATEDLY IN THE GODDAMN OESOPHAGUS FOR BEING ENOUGH FOR A FUCKASS TO WASTE MY BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS FUCKING READING IT. Don’t read “Fire and Ice” unless you’re in the mood to die slowly and painfully as your own heart realises it can’t take more of this and promptly decides to call it quits and hightail it to the other side of Alternia, leaving you with nothing but a honorary placronym to commemorate the times you had before you made the mistake of committing involuntary suicide of feels-attacks. 11/10 would fucking read again.

It's praise, lol. carcinogeneticist is imitating/roleplaying/typing-all-his-posts-in-the-persona-of a character from Homestuck who is very foul-mouthed but enthusiastic ( mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Karkat_Vantas ). I'm not sure... why... but... there you go. People who perpetually roleplay are a pet peeve, but I digress.And most of the joys of writing come from traumatizing your readers, ohohoh.

Oooooooooooooh, got it! XD Thank you for clearing that up! Also, I just checked your Tumblr and saw your "Heyyy sexy new follower" post and for a second I thought it was Ozai and I was about to nosebleed - but then I realized it was Zuko and that saved me a little (although Zuko is also awesome, but there's just something gaaaaaaaah about badass Ozai looking fabulous). ^^' P.S. I should probably make something clear - I don't fangirl Ozai in the show all that much. I fangirl the deeper look into his character that my fanfic will take. One day, you all will understand my obsession.

I am honestly relieved to hear this, because this whole time I have been scratching my head and thinking 'how can she love this character so much?' He's not exactly winning all the 'Best Dad' prizes in the show, let alone 'Best Character.' Oh, gosh. *Shudders* No, I'm enraged at Ozai in the show - he's so vicious and heartless and has nearly no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's his journey of transformation as I envision it that intrigues me, the question of whether a man like that can ever become a different person if seeds are planted inside his heart that can be nourished to a better end. The Promise trilogy suggests he is more than purely evil - at least, some aspects of the Zuko/Ozai interactions do that. Which is part of what sparked my curiosity and interest in addition to the fact that I don't believe any person can simply be one-dimensionally self-absorbed and evil. carcinoGeneticist explained it all best in that one post of his somewhere - on the plot bunnies thread, I think? *Hug* Sorry for freaking you out all along and making you think I was exclusively fangirling the cruel villain as he is presented in the show. XD Edit: I just imagined all of this power unleashed on Katara's behalf ( genzoman.deviantart.com/gallery/11977577#/d4xuv4g). Fangirl sigh. Still so many parts to go. T___T

I think they're just angsting about the death.
