The second Featured Fic is Three Years at Sea by
amanda_violet and her other works, most notably her Avatar 500 stories. Amanda's fics are archived at her fanfiction.net profile and
amanda91_fic.
Three Years at Sea is a series of short stories about Prince Zuko's exile, starting from the immediate aftermath of the ill-fated Agni Kai and following him through his journey all over the world for the Avatar. Zuko is his surly and difficult self, yet you really find yourself sympathizing with the character. Partly there's the obvious pathos of his situation, but where the writing truly shines is in bringing out the nuances of the character: The enormous challenges he faces, both external and within himself, his obvious flaws and his astounding inner strength, all brought out through his life at sea and how it shapes the boy into a young man, for better and for worse.
( Three Years at Sea was the story that helped me make sense of Zuko's character. )
