Day Seven: Running Interference

[peri_peteia]

Title: Running Interference
Rating: PG-13
Note: Though it wasn't one of the themes, the challenge I took to heart with this story was to show love, without actually using the words "I love you". I really hope I pulled it off successfully, though it was the one thing that was driving me crazy while trying to write the story. :)

Oh Zuko! (And drats, that's the second time I start a comment on a fic in this com with that line.) I loved him so, so much in this - even as I felt a trifle sorry for him as well. Their exchange ("I don't want you to go."/"Where would I go to?") was in a word perfect - especially because I can picture both their expressions during it; the words might, in a different context, have been clichéd but they get all turned about here.

Delightful!

That is how Zuko works best, regardless of what he learned in "The Boiling Rock," and I think the way he ultimately said it could not have been sweeter.

D'awww :`)

I don't think there is any possible way in the universe that Zuko would be able to romantically propose. And I think Mai would like it better that way!

Lovely fic!

Wow, soooo awkward...brilliantly awkward. I love it!!
I was laughing through the whole thing...especially Mai's wandering hands and the 'danger zone'. Perfectly perfectly done :D

His proposal was sooo unromantic it was romantic. 'A' for effort, Zuko, 'A' for effort XD
