HFKJHSG Yeah this is good. Really good. I love the subtle callbacks to the original series - especially the 'experience part', knowing how much the meaning of that action has changed. But I'm rambling so I'll stop~

[styromgalleries]

Thanks! And the rambling's ok; I do it all the time.

Haha, I'd love to see something like this happen myself. He is still alive and kicking...and they DO have another mysteriously vanished Avatar...and he IS sort of the expert on tracking them when they can't be found.

Also, I love how Beifong calls him on the lack of (worthwhile) field-trip with Toph lol. What an excellent way to catch him in the honor XD

I really really really hope that Zuko is in LoK somehow. So far, we've seen the original Gaang plus Toph, and now we just need Zuko. It would make me so happy.

The Beifongs are infinitely fun to write. Lin is among my favorite characters of LoK.

Thanks for reading! :)

I'm certain Zuko WILL be in it, for a cameo at least. Dante Basco has long since been on the voice actor roster for Korra, and he's too well known a voice to play anything but his original character. The current Zuko profile fits too...he's still alive, but no longer a firelord, and wandering around the world as a peaceful ambassador? Yeah, it's almost certain he'll have a cameo at some point.

And yes. Lin is badass. I was disappointed she wasn't in today's ep to kick ass and be awesome.

Yessss on the Lin front. When she decided to go rogue and do things outside the law, I got so excited! I'm hoping she'll be featured a lot in the next few eps. Can't wait!

Awesome story. I really wish this would happen in the show.

[styromgalleries]

Thank you! Me too!

I'm wondering where Korra has been taken. I wonder if she's still in Republic City. That way, Tarrlock could get to her easily. But where's somewhere no one would find or expect? They've already done a secret underground lair, so I don't know that they'd revisit that. I just know that I can't believe there are only a few more episodes left this season. It's going to be so intense!

Nice story. Simple and to the point, just like Lin. The field trip line made me smile. And I liked the little detail about needed extra firelight. As a fan who's waiting for Zuko's return to the show as well I like your speculation.

I stumbled here from the legendofkorra community. I got to say I really liked this. Like someone else mentioned, the subtle references to the previous series are great.

I really do hope Zuko shows up. He was my favorite of the show.

I hope you keep writing. :D
