atla: Eight Principles of Yong by psocoptera

FANDOM: Avatar the Last Airbender
FIC LINK: Eight Principles of Yong
AUTHOR LINK: [archiveofourown.org profile] psocoptera
RATING/WARNING(S): G | none
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 3700 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Zuko, Katara

FIC SUMMARY: The pen is mightier than the sword, or how Zuko saves the day via the power of good penmanship.

RECCER'S NOTES: Short, powerful, beautiful: what Zuko did in the capital after the last Agni Kai. Not many fics can so convincingly add to character backstory; or use the style of AtLA so perfectly, down to the language and tone of its jokes; or add humour to drama without dampening either. This one does. It's a terrific idea, and one of the best Avatar fics it's ever been my pleasure to read.

You're right in that this fic does fit well with the tone of the original show. It's lovely, and I love the extra building on Zuko's backstory.
