I’d been silently hoping for another scene where Asami pulls Korra onto her lap, bc Korra’s slightly nervous but does it anyway. It’s my absolute favvv

Ahhhh I love writing scenes like that so much! Korra’s so down bad for Asami, and Asami doesn’t even realize.

Korra’s in her ✨soft girl✨ era right now and it’s my favorite thing ever. Someone said that Asami’s letting Korra off easy, and like… can you blame her? LMAO! Korra’s being such a cutie right now. I would fold too. 😂

You seem to be the closest expert to Where the Snow Takes Us. Without getting too much into it... is it like...a light hearted read?

I've seen your posts about Roll with the Punches, and honestly I'm not sure if my heart could handle all that.

So I'm just asking like. How heavy Where the Snow Take Us goes?

My, 'closest expert' is quite the overstatement, but...thanks? Though, I wouldn't reffer to me as an expert, trust me😅 Mainly because it's been quite a while since I read more than two chaps in a row.

My speaking and recommending of that fic comes from the few chapters that really stuck with me - either because of how vivid they seem by the way they're masterfully written, or 'cause of the mesmerizing depth of the characters' thoughts and emotions.

But one thing I can say is, it is way lighter than RWTP 😄 and quite fun! I definitely recommend it even if it's not finished yet lol...but really, you can always ask the author herself, @asamiontop I think she would love to introduce you to the story😊

I also think @l2bbocsstuff (another big fan of the story) would be a good reviewer you could ask.

And if you want an even fresher insight (don't know how far she's into the story, though) @persnickety-doodles has recently started reading it. I sure would love to know what she thinks of the story so far 😁🤭

Hi!!! First of all, I wanted to say thank you so much for your fictions they are keeping me alive during this winter holidays, also I was wondering if you could maybe do a playlist? I’ve seen you recommend lots of songs, maybe a playlist that reminds you of Asami or something? I feel cod her dude I swear

Mmmm I don’t really have an Asami “playlist” like I’ve seen ppl have, I just make playlists for the fics I’m working on, so for that I just would recommend the songs I’ve been mentioning in the fic! I would share the playlist, but I feel like the songs are kinda spoilers for what happens in the story, so I’m holding off on that lol. The song for chap 10 is my fav, I cant wait to publish that chap.💜

ALSO this is completely unrelated to my fic, but since you are asking for song suggestions, I am going to use this opportunity to spread the agenda that Sunflower by Michele Leigh is soooooo reminiscent of Asami and Korra’s reunion in Greatest Change’s story RWTP, like the song is LITERALLY the beginning of the story!!! Listen to it, I beg I beg !! 😭

Hi, hi, hello. I've just recently discovered the korrasami fandom and the fics and I stumbled across your 'Roll with the punches' series and omg. Hmm. I will try not to embarrass myself here, but let's just start saying: thank you SO MUCH for writing and posting that story, it sooo well written, the characters so REAL and human and flawed, the way you write the story and the timing (this coming from me. a person who does not like slow-burn, but you won my heart) and all that you planned before... well, I can only imagine how much work you have put into this story so yeah. I think thank you is appropriate here. but also--

(please brace yourself, this will be LONG because I don't shut up about things I like)

I wanted to comment on certain aspects of the story/characters because it deserves. There are two main relationships that caught my attention while reading the story (oh, OH, also, I'm starting today 'Asami Alone', not quite caught up with you yet) that I like quite a lot:

Tonraq and Korra: omg, the you kept punching me in the guts while reading Korra's background story, her father pushing her away to NY and how that affects Korra so much ("you're not who I hoped you'd be" - hearing that from a FATHER? that HURTS so much), and the breaking point in Quebec, when Korra realizes that it was all Tonraq's idea of kicking her out, and the same time, me as a reader, reading how much they are parallel to each other, a mirror in which Tonraq, not knowing how to break the cycle of trauma, inflicts the same trauma on Korra. There's a famous quote from an educator from my country that says "when culture is not liberating, the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor" and I think it fits Tonraq well, not in the way which Tonraq knowingly wants to be an oppressor or knows what he's doing to Korra, it's more in the sense of: since Tonraq didn't heal his own wounds, he became what his father was - taking the same actions and hurting his child.

I personally knows what complicated family relationships looks like and I absolutely admire how you've written them in this story, the characters are so so REAL, I can see that happening in real life and the way Korra reacts and hurts other people and hurts herself in the process, the way Asami tries everything in her power to be there for Korra but at the same time, she exhausts herself and ends up hurt. Really. A masterpiece.

Korra and Kuvira: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah my favorite!!! I love them so much!!!! don't get me wrong, I love Korra/Asami too, I mean I am reading/drinking/staring at everything you write, but, BUT, the way you write Korra and Kuvira's relationship???? so good. I love the funny things, the banter, the joke about their sexual history (the scene where they are talking about Kuvira biting during sex and she's like, does Asami know about that scar on your shoulder? and Korra be like, you're still alive, so no AUSHDAHSHJDASUD the way I gasped/laughed/kicked my fit (I really think Asami would make Kuvira suffer because she is THAT jealous and I LOVE IT). But also, also, the way Kuvira is ALWAYS there, good or bad, Korra being a shit and pushing her way and Kuvira always there, helping her, being a true FRIEND which Korra needs so much but rarely lets anyone get close. Also, last night I read the scene where Korra goes to rehab the goodbyes made the tear up!!! when Kuvira knocks their foreheads and say "you got this" and then, Korra running back to Asami, ah AH, chef's kiss. I secretly like the Kuvira and Asami situationship and how they inevitably love Korra but they don't particular like (?) each other lol but I'd love to see more of Korra and Kuvira, even in the past, maybe how they met? how they formed their bond? I'd read anything about them,but this is your story and I am a mere reader, so anything you want to write, I here for it!

(also, let's remember I didn't finish the series yet!!! maybe all I am writing is completely wrong, and if that happens, I am so sorry for rambling so much)

I think this is it! (I still have so much to talk, but this is what I wanted to share) sorry for the long ass comment, there's no real question here, I really just wanted to praise your writing, your characters and ramble about what I love most. Also, also! I don't remember in which story it was, but there was a few minions complaining? about the story and stuff? well, if you need help, I'm here to tell them to fuck off, I fucking hate rude people commenting in other people's stories.

thanks again and so sorry for long ass comment! <3

Hello!

First off, you are an incredible human being for persevering and getting caught up on this crazy little series of mine. Even after all these years, I still get giddy reading comments like this, so please don’t feel embarrassed. I started this story when I was 20/21 (?) and in college. I can’t believe it’s still going, but I’m happy I continued it. This story has grown so much with me, and I honestly wouldn’t be where I am today without it.

The story of love, friendships, and found family holds so much weight for me. I love reading stories like that and wanted to write one of my own. Korrasami was the ship that helped me come to terms with my queerness and eventually coming out as a lesbian. They are like a part of my dna at this point lol.

What I love about what you said is how much you enjoy reading outside of their relationship. As a girl with major daddy-issues, I couldn’t help but incorporate that into this story, even though I’ve completely bastardized tonraq in the process (LMAO), but it was an important piece of this story that needed to be told for readers like you to understand why Korra is the way she is and all the hurt she tries to keep buried but is just too much to keep hidden. She’s a complicated, controversial character (much like in the show) but deep down all she wants is to be happy with the girl that she loves without having all the baggage. And in this final installment, one of the things she will learn is that so long as she’s self-aware and continues to get the help she needs, she can have everything she hopes to achieve.

Korra/Kuvira is the second most important relationship in this story and I’m glad you recognize that. They’re so spicy and cute haha. I did want to write a prequel about the two of them, but I’m just so busy with my OG works plus rwtp that I don’t really have the time unfortunately. But never say never!

Thanks again for the lovely comment. And sorry it took me so long to respond! ❤️

[thegreatestchange]

Genuinely I can only think about rwtp Korra when watching that sneak peek clip of Vi 🏃🏽‍♀️it’s so accurate!

Omg I have this entire fic written in my head where they meet in their early twenties in London (ummm London AU hello???) and they’re both encouraging each others self-destructive tendencies and are broken-hearted over their situationships. Like they just stay out all night partying and drinking and kick people’s asses in alley fights.

Ugh or I could just write a sidefic where Korra meets Vi and it’s like looking at a version of her past self. Vi’s making all the mistakes Korra made and pushing Cait away. And Asami can’t help but want to save her. Some jealousy ensues 👀

[thegreatestchange]

Hello! I just wanted to let you know how much I adore your writing and "Roll with the Punches". This fic has been a part of my life for over a year now, and I find myself re-reading some chapters every now and then simply because of how exceptional they are! (The chapter titled "POP!" is a masterpiece). Thank you for your incredible work on AO3!

have a nice month of september!!!

ps: its funny to me how a lot of people want to read about korra and kuvira , which i understand 100%, but the truth is that I AM DYING to read more of Kuvira and Michiko hahaha my girl Kuvira deserves good love too !!

Hi!! Thank you so much! I'm happy you've enjoyed the story so far. I remember the craziness when that chapter came out. So epic lol.

And you're in luck bc Michiko will appear again in this final installment!

[thegreatestchange]

Hiii I'll start by saying how much I love your writing, i think you're very talented!

I wanted to ask about Korra after she comes back home; you mentioned in the story before about asami playing with the idea of korra opening a restaurant or something similar. I wanted to know if it is something you wrote without thinking about it too much or if you have plans for it somewhere down the road.

I remember how cooking helped me and how my Sheff was the one to pull me out of that hole just like Kuvira is to Korra so I guess it just has a place in my heart

If it's a spoiler or something just ignore me lol

Sorry for talking too much, lol. I'll say again that you are very talented! Wishing you the best!

Thanks for a great story, I see people saying it's too dramatic or unrealistic, but I disagree; this story makes me feel seen in so many ways.

My favorite part of the story was Shattered; the way you wrote asami really made me do some thinking. shattered was the big fall I always felt needed to come, and you did it amazing.

I don't want this story to end but all great things end eventually

Hiii, sweets! 🩷

I’ve toyed around over the years with ideas of where I wanted Korra to land career wise at the end of this and I finally settled on something so fitting and special that stems from her bond with Naga. That’s all I will say on that 😉

You know I’m so happy when new people find this story and take the time to read every word and chapter. This started as a stress reliever for me when I was at the peak of my college years. And now I’m older than Asami and Korra in this current story. It’s insane and I’ve definitely grown with them. Despite their faults, I couldn’t be prouder of the people they’ve turned out to be and the relationship they’ve built.

[thegreatestchange]

Hi you said in the notes of with love that this is te final installment. Do you mean that with love is the final side fic or that with love is one of the final side fics. And that the last installment consists out of more fics? Sorry I don't really understand the word installment.

It’s the last fic of the series. There will be no more after this.

[thegreatestchange]

saw your comment an another post about not having time for a prequel about korra/kuviras relationship for your RWTP fanfic, but to never say never…. i would do ANYTHING to read a prequel about them in this world youve built. i love love LOVE their relationship in your fic and how you have written them. ive always wondered about a possible prequel, so this isnt so much a question and more of an acknowledgement that you have a fan who’d be super on board for that prequel if life ever allowed— i totally get having other projects both personal and professional that take precedent at this time though— but maybe in the future if time ever allows 😬

Haha it’s great that you love their relationship so much! Means that I’ve done my job 😉

As for a prequel, who knows? Maybe one day. Like you said—never say never. 🙂

But to give you some insight— I always had it in my head that it would take place maybe a few months before Asami finds Korra. And Kuvira’s sleeping with someone else and Korra’s being a manipulative c*nt about it because she’s lonely and missing dr*gs and teetering close to falling off the wagon.

[thegreatestchange]

Hey! Passing by to say how much Im in love with your fic and how thankful I am that you take your time writing this masterpiece with such kindness and care! <3

Also, a little question about the last piece of the series: Will you write the whole thing and then update it, or write each chapter and update it right away? (feel free to not answer this last part if you don't feel comfortable doing so! :)

Hi there!

Thank you so much ☺️

As for my writing process. I’m kind of just going with the flow. I don’t even have a proper outline for it (but I’m working on it). Once I know where the story is going and how many chapters it will be, I’ll probably have a better answer for you.

[thegreatestchange]

hiiiii so i recently finally read rwtp after being a korrasami shipper for a very long time and i must say… i can’t believe i’ve been missing out on it the whole time!! it is probably the best modern korrasami fic i’ve read (and also the most realistic and gut wrenching one too i must say). i’m now onto reading the other fics from rwtp series!!

i heard you are publishing a book and i’m so excited for you! i will be there to support you and buy your book the day it comes out. although i’m sad rwtp is ending, i do wish you the best in your career because you are a PHENOMENAL writer and deserve to be recognized professionally as one.

anyway i just wanna drop by a gift, i made a playlist after reading rwtp and it’s songs that narrates rwtp korrasami relationship in chronological order! i hope you have time to take a look and enjoy! (i’d recommend listening in order with no shuffle bc it describes them from high school to the end of rwtp) :)

have an amazing day and best of wishes your way! <3

Hi! Thank you so much! It’s always so cool to see new people discovering this series ☺️ And thank you for the playlist! I will definitely listen ❤️

While the story will be stopping on a good place, I wouldn’t call it the end. It’s just a “see ya later.” I’ll always love writing fanfic.

And thank you for you support!

[thegreatestchange]

Have you written anything about Michiko? I saw an ask that mentions about Kuvira and Michiko but I can't find it :/

Hiii! Michiko makes a cameo in my sidefic Asami Alone

I haven’t written anything dedicated to just them tho, if that’s what’s you were hoping for!

[thegreatestchange]

Are you the real writer or are you pretending ?

Hiii! I’m real ☺️

I just wanted to keep my author name separate from my fanfic name. People kept asking me questions about rwtp on my author account, so I finally caved and remade my tumblr. I’ll update my bio on ao3 soon.
