anyway to pay the fanfic rec forward, if you're an atla fan, may i recommend https://archiveofourown.org/works/424469/chapters/710772

i need to get caught up on it but it is an utter delight of good writing. how good is the writing?

it's so good i need to do close rereadings of it as a study in how to do battle scenes, and it makes sokka/azula a believable and compelling ship.

That Good, folks.
