I just... omg. It is my favorite ongoing WIP and it's already epic at 20+ chapters. It's a complete reversal of the slave cliche, a giant AU, and one of the top two or three most interesting explorations of a possible Water Tribe culture that I've seen in fanfic. It's like Dances With Wolves: Firebender Slave Babysitter Saga. At every point where I might be leery of the author making the wrong choice, it turns out that with a little patience from the reader, that right choice--that emotional payoff--is coming at the right time and place. I feel like I'm reading a decent novel. It has minor and plausible guest appearances from other characters as the story progresses. Oh, man, it's a season 1 fanfic written with season 3 analysis, foresight, and empathy. Anyway, totally read it.
