lizbeeI 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?

And Piandao goes, "...No."
"Wow, that's a load off my mind."
"Your sister, on the other hand..."

Nope. I saw some actual download links on Tumblr, but I just had a quick squiz, and the Airbender tag is full of bad porny fan art.
