Heh, I don’t know if anyone knows of this or not but I got "The Earth kingdom Chronicles: The Tale of Azula" and it had an amusing Maiko bit in it:
Ty Lee couldn’t resist the chance to tease Mai. "It’ll be interesting to see Zuko again, won’t it, Mai?"
They both laughed. When we were kids, Mai had a crush on Zuko. He may have felt the same way, but he was so busy brooding and sulking all the time there was no way to tell.

^Yep, I saw that, and was happy, we get mentioned early on, and now we are pretty much canon.

I want the Zuko book so I can point it out too and his gay subtextI don't know. Zuko is to Maisexual to be gay. For a topic, why do you think Zuko loves Mai? Personally, I think it’s because she is hot (though that has caused him some grief because other dudes thinks so too) and funny and makes him happy.

Heeheehee~
Kyatto's Epic Reasons Why Zuko <3s Mai:
1) Mai is hot. a) Azula would not be friends with her if she wasn't attractive. b) other guys notice her and make a point to talk to her (Ty Lee as well, but not Azula, hm...) This goes to show Zuko has STANDARDS when it comes to women. 2) Mai is well educated. She would not use "fathoming depths" and "unbearably bleak" is she wasn't. Again Zuko has STANDARDS!!!1one!!1!! 3)Mai has skills . Awesome knife throwing, anyone? 4)Mai is funny. Dry wit makes Zuko lol. 5)Mai likes him. She doesn't care about his scar or what he's done. She likes him for who he is inside. That makes him happy.
Not to mention she's the sexiest sexy that ever sexied?

I think Zuko loves Mai because not only is she pretty, has skills, is funny, and is well educated, but she and Zuko have both gone through very hard emotional times and they understand each other. Mai can also take care of herself, so Zuko doesn't have to worry about her as much.

She doesn't care about his scar or what he's done. She likes him for who he is inside. That makes him happy. This is the most prominent reason Zuko loves Mai I think but it reminds me of something. Did you guys know in an earlier draft of the date comic, Zuko is revealed to have carried a heart-shaped rock (that young!Mai gave him) on his person throughout all of his banishment? Young!Zuko also thought Mai hated him (in the comic she said she used to throw mud in his face so I imagine she did stuff like that because she didn’t know how to express her feelings) until she gave him said rock when he was sad. Indeed! I don’t think appearance matters that much to Zuko since, you know, he has a burn that covers half of his face but I do think it’s nice the girl who was designed to be his forever girl was also designed to be so pretty.

whoa, we're almost at 100, this is awesome, yet sad, because who knows when will be the next time that we make another thread speaking of which, are we still having a shipbash? on the topic, I think Mai loves Zuko because...well, he's such a dork, and he tries so hard to impress her, but fails so miserably some times, that it's just really cute and endearing. I mean, I can't see her making the same connection with a different guy AT ALL, because there'll be no one like her Zuko. As to why Zuko loves her, well, what's not to love? Also, everything in Zuko's life has always been changing, especially since his banishment. After Ursa disappeared, life was never the same for him, and when he was sent to look for the Avatar, he's been from one place to another, always on the run, always chasing, always after something. Mai's the only part of his life that's stayed constant; stable. She's the only person that's never changed throughout all the time they've been together and apart. The very fact that he can be with her, and know that this is the same girl who's been with him since childhood, that nothing about her has changed, that she's still the ssame person, same personality...the very fact that he doesn't have to worry about surprises, I think that's the thing that made them click right away when they got back together (yes, that's my pathetic explanation for their abrupt introduction in the first episode). ah, Maiko, Maiko, Maiko. No matter how much there is of it, you still can't get enough ^^ let's hope the rest of the season will bring us lots more that'll last us until even after Avatar's over

Yeah, but I also remember aliwildgoose mentioning that she didn't want that information being spread around... Really? There is a discussion post on the Maiko LJ comm that starts with that news. speaking of which, are we still having a shipbash? Well, we could still have it but a date hasn’t been set yet. Aww, it is. The "why Mai loves Zuko" topic is one of my favorites for Maiko because Mai’s lostlasting love for Zuko is the reason I started it shipping the pairing. I think she does love him so much because of the reasons you stated and he’s different. The males Mai grew up with were probably jerks who just cared about political stuff. Zuko, on the other hand, is sweet and actual cares about people’s feelings. Meh, I don’t you really need a "pathetic explanation" for their introduction. They’ve had feelings for each other for a long time and they had quite a while to get know each other so.. something was bound to happen. *shrug* Regardless, I feel this way too. I don’t think Zuko is totally secure that Mai loves him (hence his jealousy in "The Beach") but I think he finds security that, like you said, she’s been there since childhood. She was there was his mother left, when he went through his Angi Kai, and when he was banished. If Mai was wiling to stay with him through all that... her feelings defiantly aren’t conditional like his father’s at least. I know. <3 Speaking of which, here (pg-13ish though) is some really nice and really interesting Maiko fic.
