The Zuko/Katara thing has never made sense to me and has always struck me as "anything else would pair them up..."

I'm really not hugely into pairings. If I like the canon or implied canon pairings, great. But as long as they don't piss me off (which usually happens when I think the guy treats the girl-or other guy-badly) I'm fine. And if it really bothers me, I just find a canon that doesn't annoy me. (Too many canons to bother with any that piss me off.) But I've never been big on always having a pairing, and don't get invested in many.

I like the intimacy of pairings -- two people, vulnerable, yearning, interacting with each other on every level imaginable, physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually. But I want them to be in some way fucked up. Abusive, either intentionally or not, or just fraught with baggage or scars or issues that have to be dealt with before there is even a possibility of a happily ever after.

What I'm looking for is the drama. The plot. The triumph of hope over fear, of desire over reason, inner strength over outer adversity. For some reason canon het fics almost never offer this.

I generally just demand that the canon itself give me what I want. Most pairing-centric fics I've read (canon or fanon) seem to have more idealized (for better or for worse) version of characters, or focus solely on the pairing aspect, and a lot of what interests me about the characters then tends to be missing. Half the time, I don't recognize the characters in fic.

There are a lot of shows I don't bother with the fandoms at all. I really only bother to read the fic and talk meta about fandoms where I am unsatisfied with canon, where they had a lot of possibilities that they didn't follow up on. Most of the time I'm just satisfied with what canon offers me.

And honestly, the idealistic romance-only stories tend to be so generic and interchangeable that there really isn't any point in reading them. Once you've read a couple, you might as well have read them all.
