Ask the Author Part the Second: For want of a nail

Ganked from askerian by way of suzukiblu

Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change. Something tiny (e.g. "and then Harry told a knock knock joke instead of a light bulb joke") or big (e.g. "and then June found Koh's spine and ripped it out before he could crush her arm and steal her face") and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

June has Nyla lick her face before facing Koh.

Well, if Nyla or June were able to control the dosing of the paralytic so that June wasn't completely immobile and only her face muscles suffered, June and Koh's conversation would be utterly one-sided while June fought not to drool and sliced our giant bug open like sashimi. And she would have brought the kid's face home, and gotten her commission, and a month later, some kid would have gotten into the spirit world and accidentally killed the butterfly of spiritual necessity (or something like that), and then the world would end. Either that, or Aang has to go to the spirit world to make everything right again. If not, June would have spent a couple of hours cursing and muttering until she could move again, and then Koh would have had her face a few hours late.
