Hiya! You need to be logged in to AO3 in order to read my works. I made the decision to lock my fics after the AI scandal. Also I was just tired of the nastiness from some anons and needed to lock them out for my own mental well-being.

Ahhhh I love writing scenes like that so much! Korra’s so down bad for Asami, and Asami doesn’t even realize.

(please brace yourself, this will be LONG because I don't shut up about things I like)

I wanted to comment on certain aspects of the story/characters because it deserves. There are two main relationships that caught my attention while reading the story (oh, OH, also, I'm starting today 'Asami Alone', not quite caught up with you yet) that I like quite a lot:

Tonraq and Korra: omg, the you kept punching me in the guts while reading Korra's background story, her father pushing her away to NY and how that affects Korra so much ("you're not who I hoped you'd be" - hearing that from a FATHER? that HURTS so much), and the breaking point in Quebec, when Korra realizes that it was all Tonraq's idea of kicking her out, and the same time, me as a reader, reading how much they are parallel to each other, a mirror in which Tonraq, not knowing how to break the cycle of trauma, inflicts the same trauma on Korra. There's a famous quote from an educator from my country that says "when culture is not liberating, the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor" and I think it fits Tonraq well, not in the way which Tonraq knowingly wants to be an oppressor or knows what he's doing to Korra, it's more in the sense of: since Tonraq didn't heal his own wounds, he became what his father was - taking the same actions and hurting his child.

I personally knows what complicated family relationships looks like and I absolutely admire how you've written them in this story, the characters are so so REAL, I can see that happening in real life and the way Korra reacts and hurts other people and hurts herself in the process, the way Asami tries everything in her power to be there for Korra but at the same time, she exhausts herself and ends up hurt. Really. A masterpiece.

Korra and Kuvira: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah my favorite!!! I love them so much!!!! don't get me wrong, I love Korra/Asami too, I mean I am reading/drinking/staring at everything you write, but, BUT, the way you write Korra and Kuvira's relationship???? so good. I love the funny things, the banter, the joke about their sexual history (the scene where they are talking about Kuvira biting during sex and she's like, does Asami know about that scar on your shoulder? and Korra be like, you're still alive, so no AUSHDAHSHJDASUD the way I gasped/laughed/kicked my fit (I really think Asami would make Kuvira suffer because she is THAT jealous and I LOVE IT). But also, also, the way Kuvira is ALWAYS there, good or bad, Korra being a shit and pushing her way and Kuvira always there, helping her, being a true FRIEND which Korra needs so much but rarely lets anyone get close. Also, last night I read the scene where Korra goes to rehab the goodbyes made the tear up!!! when Kuvira knocks their foreheads and say "you got this" and then, Korra running back to Asami, ah AH, chef's kiss. I secretly like the Kuvira and Asami situationship and how they inevitably love Korra but they don't particular like (?) each other lol but I'd love to see more of Korra and Kuvira, even in the past, maybe how they met? how they formed their bond? I'd read anything about them,but this is your story and I am a mere reader, so anything you want to write, I here for it!

(also, let's remember I didn't finish the series yet!!! maybe all I am writing is completely wrong, and if that happens, I am so sorry for rambling so much)

I think this is it! (I still have so much to talk, but this is what I wanted to share) sorry for the long ass comment, there's no real question here, I really just wanted to praise your writing, your characters and ramble about what I love most. Also, also! I don't remember in which story it was, but there was a few minions complaining? about the story and stuff? well, if you need help, I'm here to tell them to fuck off, I fucking hate rude people commenting in other people's stories.

thanks again and so sorry for long ass comment! <3

Hello!

First off, you are an incredible human being for persevering and getting caught up on this crazy little series of mine. Even after all these years, I still get giddy reading comments like this, so please don’t feel embarrassed. I started this story when I was 20/21 (?) and in college. I can’t believe it’s still going, but I’m happy I continued it. This story has grown so much with me, and I honestly wouldn’t be where I am today without it.

The story of love, friendships, and found family holds so much weight for me. I love reading stories like that and wanted to write one of my own. Korrasami was the ship that helped me come to terms with my queerness and eventually coming out as a lesbian. They are like a part of my dna at this point lol.

What I love about what you said is how much you enjoy reading outside of their relationship. As a girl with major daddy-issues, I couldn’t help but incorporate that into this story, even though I’ve completely bastardized tonraq in the process (LMAO), but it was an important piece of this story that needed to be told for readers like you to understand why Korra is the way she is and all the hurt she tries to keep buried but is just too much to keep hidden. She’s a complicated, controversial character (much like in the show) but deep down all she wants is to be happy with the girl that she loves without having all the baggage. And in this final installment, one of the things she will learn is that so long as she’s self-aware and continues to get the help she needs, she can have everything she hopes to achieve.

Korra/Kuvira is the second most important relationship in this story and I’m glad you recognize that. They’re so spicy and cute haha. I did want to write a prequel about the two of them, but I’m just so busy with my OG works plus rwtp that I don’t really have the time unfortunately. But never say never!

- How was your version of Korra created? (personality wise) Is she inspired by someone you know or knew? Several? Was she created in a moment that you experienced?

- In your book, which character are you the most like?

- if you had to choose any of your characters to be your friend, which one would you wind up being besties with?

- Team Korra or Team Asami

- how are you holding up these days?

Hey! Sorry for the late reply! Thanks for your questions!

1. Korra is based off Korra in the show! I just took the bits and pieces of her that I related to the most, enhanced those traits, and placed her in a real world setting. Aside from her daddy issues (she gets this from me) I really haven’t changed much about her personality. She’s tough, abrasive, assertive, insecure, and takes on more than she can handle at times which can lead to bad decision making on her part.

2. Oooh! I like this question! I’d say in Prestige I’m more like Mina! She has a bubbly personality and tells it like it is! And I’d say the same answer for question 3!

3. See above

4. Why choose???

Hiii! Michiko makes a cameo in my sidefic Asami Alone

Omg I have this entire fic written in my head where they meet in their early twenties in London (ummm London AU hello???) and they’re both encouraging each others self-destructive tendencies and are broken-hearted over their situationships. Like they just stay out all night partying and drinking and kick people’s asses in alley fights.

have a nice month of september!!!

ps: its funny to me how a lot of people want to read about korra and kuvira , which i understand 100%, but the truth is that I AM DYING to read more of Kuvira and Michiko hahaha my girl Kuvira deserves good love too !!

Hi!! Thank you so much! I'm happy you've enjoyed the story so far. I remember the craziness when that chapter came out. So epic lol.

And you're in luck bc Michiko will appear again in this final installment!

I wanted to ask about Korra after she comes back home; you mentioned in the story before about asami playing with the idea of korra opening a restaurant or something similar. I wanted to know if it is something you wrote without thinking about it too much or if you have plans for it somewhere down the road.

I remember how cooking helped me and how my Sheff was the one to pull me out of that hole just like Kuvira is to Korra so I guess it just has a place in my heart

If it's a spoiler or something just ignore me lol

Sorry for talking too much, lol. I'll say again that you are very talented! Wishing you the best!

Thanks for a great story, I see people saying it's too dramatic or unrealistic, but I disagree; this story makes me feel seen in so many ways.

My favorite part of the story was Shattered; the way you wrote asami really made me do some thinking. shattered was the big fall I always felt needed to come, and you did it amazing.

I don't want this story to end but all great things end eventually

Hiii, sweets! 🩷

I’ve toyed around over the years with ideas of where I wanted Korra to land career wise at the end of this and I finally settled on something so fitting and special that stems from her bond with Naga. That’s all I will say on that 😉
