YMMV / Instincts of a Fearful Body

• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Mako compared to canon, largely due to the original series' Love Triangle being completely nonexistent instead his POV sections primarily focus on his familial relationships with Bolin and Sakari.
• Take That, Scrappy!: Unalaq, the most unpopular villain of the original show and perhaps overall franchise, is dead in this fic long before the story began and in-universe his plans are considered underwhelming by his own kids when they hear of them.
