you know, that's always been the strongest argument (in my mind) for Aang/Katara in Avatar: anything else would make Aang extremely sad, and that would be like kicking a puppy. I mean, even I, a hardcore Zutara shipper, feel somewhat guilty at the thought of writing fic wherein Aang thinks he has the girl of his dreams and then, uh, loses her. I'M SORRY AANG YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THINKING OF HER AS A POSSESSION--AND THAT'S PARTIALLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING, I KNOW YOU DON'T MEAN TO, YOU'RE YOUNG--IS A BAD THING, AND FURTHERMORE YOU AND HER TOGETHER IS A BAD THING, AND AND AND I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU--FRUIT PIE?
