Alice

Great chapter, really like how you are protraying the soul damage Dencifer has

Ungodlyone

I love your writing enough to pay for it. Chapter doesnt disapoint

Uthalem

Does anyone have any idea about why his defenses were acting when Katara was talking to him?

Udodelig Urningin

Embers is rife with mind control. To the point where it is entire plot arcs (I think? Been a long time)

Necrosis

Hmmm. The ending makes me wonder. Could he have gotten the excuse that he has permission from the spirits?

Edits melt the ice to put douse -> to douse How’ve things been. -> been?

Uthalem

What’s embers in this context?

Strictly speaking, Embers presented it as something Waterbenders could do to influence others of 'their' tribe. And generally, it was also more of an empathic... imposition/ resonance? I don't think the precise details were made clear. The primary viewpoint character of that fic was Zuko. He didn't deal with that much, at least as part of the affected group. Definitely was a target, though. Katara nearly pushed her dad and his crew to kill Zulo, and Hakoda literally had to tell her to cut it off or he might have to do something to her. It was a whole thing. On the greater scale, almost everyone in Embers, bender or not, has some form of Spirit heritage. This means that certain things are inviolable, depending on the nation. They are: Fire must obey superiors; Water is all about the Tribe, and fuck anyone else, they're not a person; Earth is Contracts Are Serious Business; and Air was Teacher Knows Best. And the Avatar was completely independent of all of that. Don't know how closely Lee is following those rules.

Definitely an excellent chapter as always. Poor Sokka. He continues to be the only sane man on Team Avatar. Tftc!

Woof, reading Nihilist Dencifer has been getting rougher and I know I'm unless some potential spiritual woohoo happens with the moon spirit. Well that's not stopping anytime soon. I do enjoy the bright spots coming up from him though like the helping of the Zuko and Aang with the winter gear and food. Surprise he didn't knock out Zhoa and his men to bind them and sell them. He can definitely use the points. Also, worried for future Katara there. Might go all Avatar: Distorted Reality AU and start doing some fuck shit. She definitely has the proper level of psychosis. We saw the depths of that in her little pow wow adventure with Zuko. She can be a menace one motivated and nihilist Dencifer it's making himself be the unintentional kindling and spark.

Denki: Passes the Spirit vibe check. Hangs around for a while, proves himself their boy. Meanwhile, with a giant owl: "I have been AVENGED!"

Nicholas Hammond

Today/Tonight Denki is introduced to the Fire Nation. His conduct here will be how they will perceive him. If he does well then he will have wary respect. At least from some. Here’s hoping for the unique brand of honesty can help diffuse the situation. While causing interesting affects, we may soon see Azula showing interest in the lightning spirit. Which means potential character growth and tsundere shenanigans. 😵‍💫

I wonder if Tui and La are gonna provide some more info/help with dencifer’s soul damage, the element the represent is the healing one after all. Cool chapter though, wonder how Yue’s continued existence as “not-the-moon” will change stuff

BBJimmy

Love the chapter, and I can't wait to see how you're going to shape the plot of Embers moving forward. Zhao and his actions leading to Koizilla are fundamental to that story, so we're fully off the map now. (Although, Koizilla could still happen now, it would just seem more "stations of canon" instead of a logical result of IC actions.)

El Lando

There's also how Yue won't be the Moon here, and she was the one that blessed Zuko, with Iroh's ignorant prayer iirc, to be a Yaoren. He's likely fated to still be one, or the great spirits have already decided and will arrange a different situation, same difference.

El Lando

The version of the catalogue he has only allows him to stamp females.

MagisterdeVita

Really? I could have sworn he stamped some guys back at the USJ incident... But that was years of reading ago so definitely could be misremembering.

El Lando

He specifically stamped the female villians he could.

El Lando

Been a bit, but I think the "unexpected companion" the fortune teller spoke of could be Yue. Dencifer already had an internal dialogue about how the people sneaking behind the tribal leaders to help are likely to be banished, and while it would be incredibly stupid to banish your own princess for helping your people, I don't think it's improbable. Yagoda is much more likely to banished, so maybe she could be the companion instead? Seems a bit unlikely, she's a bit too old to suddenly join a pair of spirits journey across worlds and is much more likely to pull an Amaya, but it could happen.

>> He tensed, looking between me, Yue, and the unconscious Katara. “You said you wouldn’t interfere.” << I think you meant Aang here, NOT Yue. Yue left earlier to get reinforcements, and arrives a few paragraphs later with Sokka on Appa.

Solopath

I think there's a paragraph missing of zukos arrival. It jumps straight from Aang going into spirit mode to Yue freaking out and Katara trying to defend Aang.

PublicLee Speaking

No, it worked, but I see what you mean, and I'll change it for the final to make the order of what's happening clearer, as aang goes glowy (because he's interfacing with the spirit world), Yue is concerned about the glowyness, Katara says it's fine and nothing's gonna happen, then something happens as Zuko shows up.
