atlw update :)

this is copied from what i posted on ao3 hahah i am lazy: 

Hello! I am sorry to say that last month I had back surgery and, due to complications, require another surgery in a few weeks. I thusly have not had any time to write. I am disappointed to say that I will be indefinitely postponing the next update / completion of this story. Hopefully I get around to it within the next few months, but with everything going on...I just don't know. Sorry everyone! Hope you're well. :)

tl;dr: atlw is on hiatus and i apologize! just got a lot going on atm.

Hi!! I hope college apps went well for u last week! Just wanted u to know that so many parts of the last 2 chapters of ATLW have left me grinning like a fool. Like on multiple occasions I had to put my phone down and just smile at the wall. I LOVE Katara and Zuko's friendship so far - the mutual acceptance/understanding/trust in each other :,), the TEASING, him keeping her WARM, the FAKE-MARRIED TROPE, "CLEAN" (I laugh every time). This story makes me so happy! I cant wait for next Sunday! :)

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY! i am SO happy that you like it! thank you SO much for sending me this, it made my week:D

[tonguetidee]

I can’t believe it’s almost Sundayyyyyy

I LOVE YOU

(2/2) the ship and be her rock was perfect. I love how they’re getting to trust each other. Katara at the end was awesome too, her feelings came through so clearly. Her smiling and being happy was the best. Thank you so much for writing this wonderful fic!! I just feel the need to tell you how much I love it and your writing!

THANK YOU!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[tonguetidee]

I can’t tell you how much I love this fic. Seriously. I get so excited on Sunday, it’s definitely the highlight of my weekend! I literally pause when I’m reading it because it’s so intense and I CANNOT HANDLE THE FEELS. I was like giddy near the end of this chapter because FRIENDSHIP PHASE. I cannot express how much I love how you portray Zuko; I think you’ve nailed him, in all his hurt, how his past affects him, his temper, his anger, and his softness for Katara. Having him guide her (1/2)

Oh, gosh. This is so sweet, and I don’t know how I missed it! I’m so sorry! I am SO HAPPY that you like it! Thank you so, SO much for sending this--you have no clue how happy these messages make me! You’re so thoughtful and I’m so grateful❤️❤️

[tonguetidee]

heyyyyy so sorry i didn’t message you last week but school was absolutely kicking my ass lol BUT as per usual i was doing my apush hw and i had a gut feeling you’d updated so i checked and you had!!!!! anyways like always i LOVED this chapter (and the last one) and it’s getting me sooo excited for them to get even closer. i’m especially looking forward to katara finding out about the scar hehe. anyways i gotta get back to my apush but can’t wait for the next update & good luck w college apps!!!

Oh my gosh, you are way too sweet! Pleaseeee don’t feel obligated to message every week, you are totally fine if you don’t! Not to say I don’t love your messages, because I DO, but I don’t want you to feel like you have to send them! You are way too sweet!❤️I am so glad that you liked last chapter. The scar scene will definitely show up soon, I promise! Thank you so much--good luck with everything on your plate! Sorry this took me so long to get back to, lol!❤️❤️❤️
