Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

I read an Azula/Sokka fic which you can find through delicious, which actually I really enjoyed except for that it was a redemption fic. It's quite a common theme! I don't know, I love Azula at her worst, and I'd love her to sort of meet Toph in the middle or something, but I think only the best possible writer could seduce me into loving a fic about her becoming good in the way that the main cast is good.

e: Found it. I feel like I should point out that I liked it in comparison with most of the rest of Avatar fandom.
