In which the Avatar: Lost Adventures comic caters entirely to my interests!

I was deeply pleased to realise the other day that there are, in fact, multiple fics where Zuko's paternity is in doubt due to Ursa's friendship with Piandao. This meets with my approval for several reasons:

- I get a sadistic amusement out of having Zuko's whole angst being rendered effectively meaningless
- It is so very improbable, on account of Zuko and Ozai being basically identical
- Ursa and Piandao have never interacted in canon, but that is no reason not to ship them
- This AU is pretty great.

Anyway, I was particularly tickled by this throwaway line in the new comic collection:





Even without the baggage listed above, the fact that it is now semi-canon that Piandao taught Zuko swordsmanship is great, and needs to be ficced lots. The rest is just gravy. Delicious gravy.



UNRELATED, except for the obvious, this was my reaction to the Game of Thrones finale.



Apologies to those who who have already rolled their eyes at it on Tumblr, but ... well, Tumblr's just not quite real, you know?

I have been staying off of Tumblr since my usual E Street Band sources are just depressing me post-Clarence's death, so I am quite grateful for this! Also oh my god, I would read so much of that pairing. SO MUCH.

Also I want a million fics about Piandao attempting to train Zuko and just hating his life and continuing to try anyway. I mean, obvs there is super-serious and heartbreaking fic you could write on that premise too, but I can't deal with a lot of actual feelings right now, I just want Zuko's FEELINGS and Piandao's quiet weariness.

I KNOW! That and the Zuko/Sandor Clegane I promised you ages ago, although that basically boiled down to the Hound going, "Oh, piss on your honour."

Things Zuko is no longer allowed to do in Master Piandao's lessons:

- use his swords to cut down tree branches
- or whole trees
- practice ritual suicide
- practice beheading his sister
- pretend his sword is an Air Nation battle glider
- make dresses for his swords and have tea parties with them
- use them as props in air shamisen battles
