But Noatak... not so much.
Take away the mask, the crowd, and the microphone, and suddenly our calculating revolutionary becomes a turtle duck with social skills on par with Azula.
So here's what I want to see: somehow, through situations of your choosing, Noatak finds himself on a date with one of the characters (preferably Korra, though you can use someone else, or even an OC if it strikes your fancy), and generally just makes a huge fool of himself. I leave the details up to you, but I want to cringe when I'm reading this ( ... )

He looked up at the clock over the bar. Ten minutes past. He eyed the two exits, first the main entrance and, twisting around to confirm, one through the swinging door into the kitchen. He'd tried to get a table against a wall, at the very least, but the waiter had insisted they were all reserved.
If Mrs. Li could go through the trouble to arrange this encounter, he thought bitterly, she could have at least reserved a table for it.He should have ignored the knock on his door, that was the first thing. He should have kept sleeping through it. But it had been some time in the early afternoon, a time when the normal man Noatak was supposed to be would be ( ... )

He felt ridiculous, a forty-year-old man waiting around to meet some poor girl who’d probably moved to Republic City to get away from the Water Tribe. He hoped she was a non-bender at least. Maybe there was some way he could gently nudge her toward the Equalists, they’d been trying to increase the number of young recruits in the buildup.
Noatak looked at the clock again. He felt a sudden hope that perhaps she would be standing him up. What was he even going to talk to her about? Then again, he led crowds as Amon, a simple evening with one girl should be painless enough. Compliment her appearance, ask about her day...what else...
He decided to leave once it reached a quarter past. No idea, she never arrived give her my ( ... )

I also like how Mrs. Li probably doesn't even know that she ended up setting Noatak up with Korra, since it's a humorous "my friend's sister's boyfriend has a cousin who knows some people who know gangsters" type of situation.
I look forward to reading more, especially because Amorra has recently become one of the pairings I ship a lot.
(The more angst a character has, the more I feel like shipping him/her with Korra.)

I see the setup as Pema's doing - she didn't mention it was Korra because she figured word would get around that the Avatar needed a ~date~, and that would just make things harder on the poor girl.

Okay, going to read the rest now.

this anon is a little worried, because your fic has a good start

I didn't think anyone would actually fill this. Thank you so much! I love your Overly-Analytical!Noatak, and his internal monologues are exactly what I imagine the inside of Amon's head would look like. Can't wait for the next update.

The girl just stood there-what is she waiting for-then helped herself to a seat. “Well, I was feeling kind of homesick," she started, "and Tenzin-my airbending teacher-his wife Pema thought I needed to get my mind off some things, so she asked around and, well...“ She shrugged and picked up the pitcher in the center of the table, pouring water into the glass nearest her. "Here we are." She toasted him with a half-smile.
He leaned forward, ignoring the gesture. Something in her casual confidence irritated him. “Things?” Equalist things?
“Oh well,” Korra mumbled into her glass, suddenly less assured. “There was a guy I’d been thinking about-“
Great. Noatak sat back and rolled his eyes. She stopped abruptly. “Well sorry to bore you.”
At least she realized it. “Don’t worry about it,” he reassured her, and cast about for a new topic of conversation. Compliment her.“It's just, it's a shame you're having problems,” he invented. “You know, boys your age can be shallow, they mostly care about how a girl looks ( ... )

The Avatar stared back at him, then finally decided to lift her share of the conversational load. “Uhh...so where are you from?”
“Republic City. My parents immigrated from the Northern Water Tribe when I was just one.”
There was a pause. He’d forgotten the rest of his invented childhood. It had been years since he’d been required to have such an in-depth conversation.
He gave up. “And you’re from the South, right?” he prompted.
She nodded. “Yeah! I miss it, though I had to spend most of my time in the White Lotus compound anyway.” She propped her chin in her hand and sighed. “Sometimes I wish I could’ve grown up here, this place is amazing“Wrong,” he said flatly ( ... )

I also like the discussion of Korra's airbending training too.
