It was the prequel to Bad News Goes Far. The one where Aang's mother conceives him and then watches him pick out Appa from a distance? I just think of it as the tantric fic because it had that very ritualized concept for Aang and his agemates. Which was actually really neat, because fics focusing on the Air Nomads typically don't delve into the whole "communal child rearing" angle without becoming judgmental about terrible it was. Yours avoided that.
Tying the Strings: Is that a good thing or bad thing?
Nothing bad. It's just sometimes I can't find anything to say. There were a lot of ficlets to read.
