There is one, but I totally like the title of this thread better. *hates portmanteaux*
I'm wondering if we'll see Mai in the flashbacks of Zuko Alone next week. I'd totally love to see wee!Mai.

I'm one of I think quite a few people who think they were once engaged. The fact that Zuko's never mentioned her seems to imply that he doesn't really care about her, or alternatively that he does alot but doesn't want to talk about it.

In "Return to Omashu" the only thing that seemed to have any effect whatsoever on Mai was the mention of how interesting it would when whe met Zuko. (The effect was she blushed. ) I think the ship is highly plausible, that is, if Zuko likes her. (Which he might. )

I don't think it implies either necessarily since how often does Zuko actually mention anything from his life before? In fact, even in The Storm when we get all the insight into Zuko's past it's not Zuko doing the telling, it's Iroh. Zuko only ever talks about his life back in the Fire Nation in terms of reclaiming it, never about what it was actually like or even the people he knew. The only time he does in all of season one is when he mentions Azula to an unconscious Aang and that was only in the context of his own struggles. He's never even mentioned his mother once.
I think that besides the fact that Zuko's just not a very talkative guy, his stand-offish, closed-off manner (My mom described it best actually, when I told her the name of the episode "Zuko Alone" she scoffed and said, "Zuko's always alone. Even when he's with people.") stops him from connecting with anyone on the level where he would ever want to talk about anything like that. The only person who comes near to being close enough to him to discuss such things is Iroh and presumably Iroh already knows.

I think people like Zuko and Mai so much because it's the only one that was actually written into the show. (Not the only relationship, but the only one for Zuko. I mean, look at Sokka, what a playastud!) It's a lot easier to support something when It's actually there.Not to say that anything else can't ever happen, It's just this one has apparently already has happened.

jojo, people like Zuko/Mai? And, like, I'm not being sarcastic. I ask because in my experience very few people like Zuko/Mai because most of the fandom is Zuko/Katara. Like take for example how many people immediately started shipping Aang/Toph, despite there being no hint of romance. That didn't happen with Zuko/Mai even though a romantic connection was implied. In fact, people seem to spend more time talking about why there isn't Zuko/Mai than anything else.
I mean, I like it because before that episode I didn't have anything resembling a ship on this show, but the prospects of Mai/Zuko really spoke to me.

I certainly wish more people than just us were interested in Mai/Zuko. ALAS everyone is more concerned with Zuko/Katara and Aang/Katara and Aang/Toph and whatever else. I guess I'll just have to pick up the slack. *peers at two unfinished Zuko/Mai fics*
My life will be complete if I am able to make wee!Mai/wee!Zuko icons from Zuko Alone.

If it helps any, Gotterdammerung, I like ZukoXMai and I'm Zutarian! However, I don't think the relationship would last. Sure, the relationship would be great, but not long lasting. I don't really know why...
