Review:
What I loved most about this fic was the style of writing. There is this deep poeticness in Winter Ashby's storytelling without losing the story. I can empathize with Katara because I see her as more than just a cartoon character, I can imagine her as a person. What I believe is the hardest part about writing fanfiction about cartoon characters is that it's hard to make a character be someone realistic, someone you can empathize with, someone you can relate to. Here, Katara is so believable. I mean, who hasn't regretted about love? Who hasn't loved and lost and regretted the decision? This fic is simply perfect because you can just feel the emotions embedded in it. There's a conflict present even in just this short story, and Katara makes a decision to solve that conflict.
