Love triangles have such angst potential
Aug. 13th, 2007 12:32 amI was thinking tonight about ATLA characters, specifically the younger Fire Nation characters. A couple of scattered images came to mind, not enough for ficcing... just more like impressions.
( vague spoilers for the end of season 2; including Zuko, Mai, Ty Lee, Azula, and a wee bit of Katara. Multiple pairings, het and slash. These are kind of like one-sentence fics, but not quite even that. )
...I know, I know. Giving a character who has no supernatural power the gift of prophetic psychic dreams? Kind of a dues ex machina. But the idea tickles me. If Aunt Wu is a psychic, why can't other characters be too? And I like the idea that Mai seems habitually bored and always removed from a situation because it's the only way she copes with knowing things she shouldn't. It also explains why she's so calm, and why she's not bothered when thing happen the way they do.
I've also been listening to the audio-tape of Wyrd Sisters, by Terry Pratchett, and for some reason I think Granny Weatherwax would approve of Mai in general. A sensible girl, who's not one to muck about or get overemotional about things.
