But that makes a helluva lot of sense! ^This is why my story takes SO long to get anywhere. The fandom's hatred for Ozai is so deeply engrained that even the smallest accusation of OOC-ness will destroy my entire effort. So I must so, so, SO careful to be slow and set everything up so it could literally have been an alternative version of the canon show. A canon show in which Ozai is far more interesting and complex that we ever could have imagined.

^Hmm . . . any chance you actually wrote out a second ending? Because even though I will regardless read your fic, I would love to see the ending as you originally planned it. I didn't write it, unfortunately--though I do believe I still have it sketched out in flowchart form in my notebook. Maybe that would be a fun little exercise for me this afternoon...assuming my 2 year old naps... I think part of the issue is, as usual, where we begin to examine Ozai's story in fanfiction. After the conclusion of the show in which he goes totally insane and tries to destory Aang in the finale, there is that certain element of his character that can't just be ignored or disregarded. So I can entirely understand why a post-canon Ozai can't ever really become a hero. This is SUCH a relevant point. For stories seeking to remain at least somewhat canon-compliant and not re-write any of Ozai's actions in the actual series, there just isn't any way to justify a lot of his crazy or make certain actions sympathetic. Edit: I always find it interesting that readers think the title of my saga refers to Zuko (fire) and Katara (ice) when that actually was the second thing I thought about. My original intention was . . . (remainder beneath spoiler box) . . . for the title to refer to Zuko (fire) and Ozai (ice) as the two complementary forces that shape Katara's life so deeply throughout the story. You know, I'm one of those people! That's an interesting little factoid. Kind of makes me view things a bit differently now that you've said that.

Maybe that would be a fun little exercise for me this afternoon...assuming my 2 year old naps... ^OMG PLEASE YES PLEAAAAAAAAAASE *gets down on knees* I would love to see your original alternate ending. DO IT! ^Precisely, and I can completely understand and respect that. It's entirely true: there is no way to make finale Ozai symathetic. Scratch that: there is no way to even make Ozai shooting lightning at his son sympathetic. And so you must begin before the beginning of these things in order to truly rewrite canon and redeem our dear Fire Lord. My version of the circumstances in which Ozai generates lightning during the Day of Black Sun is one of my personal favorite scenes in the entire fanfiction. It's sad that we're so far away from that moment (it's the last chapter of the fifth part, and we're only starting on the fourth part). ^Obviously, there's no way for any reader to realize that yet since I technically haven't even brought Ozai into the story yet. But by the end of it, all will be clear. ^___^

I was one of those too. Lol. And wowza. I may or may not rewrite some of canon in a sense. Not all of it. Though some possibly. I mean...we'll see. Either way, even if he doesn't quite come out the same as Michelle ( because he won't XD) I hope it'll intrigue you guys! i'm slowly making plans for stuff I haven't written yet. XD

@azuremoon : Looking forward to it... ^Ditto. ^See? See? SO DO IT! ^Tell me about it. >___< I started out shipping Borra, but then I saw that moment on the bench and now I ship Tahnorra in the LoK fandom the same was I ship Urzai in the ATLA fandom - ULTIMATE OTP BEYOND ALL OTPs. That's why I have now started a separate Tahnorra FC on here, too ( painted-blue.com/index.cgi?board=legendofkorrapairingfanclu&action=display&thread=240). XD ^Aww. <___> Virtual hug to feel better? *HUGS YOU!* Know that I think you are an amazing person. There are so few people who share my interests in both Ozai and Tahnorra. So feel better and then come back, you hear?!
