* ''Synopsis'': Easily [[
* ''Comments'': Completed story. This one is epic, often very much [[Darker and Edgier]] then the movie ever was, and though it's long enough to pretty much make a novel of it, and one might not agree with some of the happenings and sometimes falling into occasional fanfic traps, it never stops being interesting and does things very smartly. Tai Lung's [[Heel Face Turn]] is realistically treated in making it a slow and steady, and sometimes quite difficult, process. The main villain is a true [[Complete Monster]] who provides a feeling of dread and danger, and the addition of known characters such as Mei Ling is most welcome, especially in how the author effectively uses the Wu Sisters (canon characters unused in the film) in his own way. There is also plenty of well-executed humor, believable character interaction, and [[Shown Their Work|admirable research of China]] by the author. A long read, no doubt, but it makes up for it by being one of the best and smartest [[Kung Fu Panda]] fanfics around.
** [[User:Ingonyama]]: As a decidedly ''non''-Tai Lung fan, I have to say I was extremely skeptical about this one. But reading over it, once you penetrate the somewhat thick prose, it turns into an insightful redemption story that does a good job of making him into something forgivable, and even likable. The Wu Sisters are very obviously [[Expy|Expies]] of "[[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Ozai's Angels]]", but they work very well with the story's [[Anachronism Stew]]...which in itself isn't nearly as bad as it has been in other KFP fics. There's [[Crowning Moment of Funny|comedy]] (keep an eye out for a subtle [[Deconstruction]] of most [[Portmanteau Couple Name|"Taigress"]] fic), [[Nightmare Fuel|horror]], [[Tear Jerker|tragedy]] (the death of a fan-made character has never hit me this hard), and of course, loads and loads of [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|action.]] Not to mention a long, ''long'' list of [[Troperiffic|those things that make fiction go 'round.]]
