'I'm going to hate the ending, aren't I? I'm going to hate it and then have to deal with the Hiroshimi-like fallout and smile for my mother the Maiko shipper, aren't I? Why god? Why have you abandoned meeeeeee???!?!?!!'
That would be regrettable. I hope that you can find the attitude of 'well, my pairing isn't going to be canon, but I've liked most everything B&M have done so far,', because I think that even though Zuko and Katara will not be a canon pairing, I think that they will developp a positive relationship that can still be explored in fanfics. I might not be a fan of the romantic pairing, but I'm looking forward to whatever friendship Katara and Zuko might developp and I hope it's as good as the platonic Zuko/Aang and Zuko/Sokka, we have seen so far.
(I was sold to Mai/Zuko in the Awakening and The Headband, before I even found out about the comic, so I can not help you with this one, but I still think that Katara/Zuko will be interesting to explore as an Alternative Pairing, even if the canon goes otherwise. :))
