Potential Post-War Fanfic Idea (Zutara - There Are Spoilers Behind The Cut!

[luthien_26]

Basically, I see Katara kissing Aang as an attempt to explore her feelings - she even dates him for a time. But then she realizes that's not exactly how she sees Aang - I mean, there is affection, but not strong enough to be her "great romance."

So, painful as it is, she and Aang decide to remain friends. Aang, finding it difficult to be near Katara

That sounds like a great idea. I'd read that fic if you write it.

I really think you're off to a good start. You provide good explanations on your opinions and interesting summary. In a way, I think Zuko would understand Mai wanting to get out on her own for awhile. It helped Zuko found out who he is and that's what Mai needs, to find her self and emotions.

One thing about the Sozin's Comet book, is that Kataang and Maiko don't really happen till like the very last page of the book and it was very rushed. Aang spends the whole book having a crush on Katara which is no surprise while Katara and Zuko are off kicking butt and accepting one another. Even Iroh is pondering whether they are a good couple. So I was really surprise when I got to the end and was HUH? They kiss?!

Oops, sorry I rambled there. No one I know has read the book because they are waiting for July episodes.

I actually think you could begin here, continue say, the next chapter with Katara at Iroh's doorstep/teashop and have her talk briefly about what happened before she arrived, and then mention her hesitations about helping out Zuko.

I my mind this doesn't necessarily have to be an excerpt, it could be the beginning or prologue even. So we get the full impact of the irony of Iroh's matchmaking actions; when neither Zuko nor Katara truely know what's going on.

[As for the Capitol Name that could work. I'm considering used what some online translator says means Imperial Heart 'Chen Zhong' but have people refer to it as simply 'The Capitol'.]

I'd like to see what you do with this. ^^
