Blue Spirit Redux - Zuko's slightly abrasive even as an airbender and Aang is pretty calm and laid-back even as a firebender, interesting. :)
Above It All - A poignant look at Toph's sense of vulnerability. She's such a tough-as-nails character it's easy to forget how scary the world can be when she's not "seeing" with earthbending. In fact it's easy to forget she's blind period, something that happens all the time in canon and, I'm told, in real life.
The Shadow Falls - The most dramatic of the bunch, and a fitting look at how Ty Lee looks at their dynamic. With that kind of viewpoint, her actions in the show make a lot more sense. The last line is both striking and ironic.
Hands and Feet - Puts the campfire scene in "The Beach" in a whole new perspective! I like the descriptive details and the emotional punch at the end.
With Her - makes a nice contrast between these two very different friends.
Humming - I didn't really understand this. I know it's Katara's PoV and that she's in a warm climate, and still traumatized about bloodbending, but otherwise I can't tell what the context and meaning are.
Pieces - This one felt, I don't know, incomplete to me. Like it should have gone on for a sentence or two longer for me to really get it. I like the view into how Azula sees the world now, especially that delusion is more vivid to her than reality, and the grim little detail of Iroh unlocking the door behind himself.
She Bends, Left - Hee! Fun.
Stop Spinning - I like the more ambivalent look at the ending, and how the Mai/Zuko affection is very much alive despite this. The last sentence is particularly poignant, and shows how emotions are more realistic and have more impact when they are nuanced.
Overall, that's a lot of content and punch packed into a few words. Great drabbling.
