...huh. I really, really like this. To think that such an awesome plot bunny could come from Sokka's terrible drawing skills. XD
This is just one of my favorite kinds of AUs. Where you go back to the beginning (or close to it, anyway) and change one thing, and then just let ripples flow. Sometimes everything is shifted. Sometimes not very much at all. But done well, the journey is always interesting. I loved the dragons, and the migration (a quirk of genetics favoring a colder climate?). I also love that Suki has to hide who she is. I might be a horrible person for saying this, but I really hope the Korra series has a bit of firebender discrimination going on. Only 70 years after a century of war, in a world of exceptionally long-lived people... I'd imagine the wounds are still painful, and that letting go is not easy. It'd make sense for their to be grudges, and grudges are, unfortunately, often passed down through generations...
Sorry, little off-topic there. ^_^;; But yes, this was very compelling.
