** They were love confessions written by Zuko, saying the words that she had always wanted to hear. They're the closest she'll ever get to hearing Zuko say "I love you." To burn them might be the smart thing, but it would mean stripping away one of the delusional comforts left to her in the cold sham of a political marriage.

* Something that just bugs me about [[Webcomic/HowIBecameYoursRiseOfTheAgniArmy the sequel]] that just bugs me: If the author's intent was to create a [[FixFic Fix Fic]] to hook up Zuko and Katara, Azula and Sokka, and Toph and Aang--all while making Mai [[RonTheDeathEater as evil as possible]]--then why would she [[spoiler: have said pairings killed off]] in the sequel? Unless she plans on some epic twist where it turns out [[spoiler: they're actually alive, or [[HesJustHiding just hiding]] as some sort of test of courage for their children, or their children bring them back from the spirit world like how Azula was brought back]]...there's something about this that just doesn't bode.

*** It's not as common as miscarrying during the early months but it is possible for a woman to miscarry at six months(actually because the baby would've been mostly developed by six months,Katara had a stillbirth not a miscarrige)and can be caused by several things including the mother ingesting certain drugs or being exposed to certain toxins(I actually stumbled upon a news blurb about a doctor who tried to secretly give his mistress a miscarrige by spiking her drinks with crushed up methotrexate,a drug used for treating Cancer and rheumatoid arthritis)so it's not that far fetched. Okay Katara miscarrying immidiately after taking one bite is but at least the symptoms(pain and vaginal bleeding)were correct.

* How does Azula manage to blackmail Mai, (putting her in the Fire Nation capital) get stabbed and poisoned, and then travel all the way to Toph's estate in time to pass out?

* For that matter, who is Katara and Zuko a problem. A lot of people point out that she's water nation and their fire nation and it could cause civil unrest, but traditionally, marrying children from enemy nations is one of the most common actions to seek peace. If Katara were still a peasant it would be a problem, but since she's now Water Tribe royalty, she should be able to marry Zuko as a political alliance.

** Depending on how seriously you take the feudalism of the setting (and for HIBY, that would be "very much"), a son who is a potential claimant to the throne can be a very big deal, to the point where it actually ''would'' be treason to hide his existence from the monarch. Illegitimate sons, especially with a princess of another state, are just the sort of thing that can easily start ''wars'' in a feudal system. Zuko isn't being unreasonable about ''that'', even if he's being a jerk to Mai in a number of other ways.
*** Still, even when taking such considerations into account, Katara is just as guilty as Mai when it comes to hiding the Firelord’s son. Not to mention, every single one of her friends at Toph’s estate is complicit in the matter, seeing that they lied about Katara’s pregnancy a number of times, possibly even to Zuko’s face. And yet none of them get accused of treason or receive any treatment similar to what Mai gets from Zuko...and this is when Mai seems to be the only one who actually thinks about the political implications of the pregnancy.

** Depending on where in the story we're talking, she gradually gets her memories back over time. But even at first, most people would probably find it distressing if someone who is apparently completely serious and earnest starts passionately accusing them of all manner of horrible crimes--''especially'' if they are amnesiac and confused. She doesn't need to recall everything; it's probably enough that she ''can't'' recall anything that would tell her she ''didn't'' do those things.

** Zuko argues that to the Senators. The counter-argument is that of blood purity, and/or that the Fire Lord must be a firebender. If Zuko's children were to be waterbenders, they could not succeed him, and there would be a political crisis and possibly a civil war. Also, in HIBY at least, the Fire Lord's family traces its origins all the way back to Agni himself, sort of how the Japanese emperors are thought to be descended from the Shinto gods, so introducing foreign races into this sacred bloodline is blasphemy.
