anghraine: avatar korra in the avatar state (korra [avatar state])
[personal profile] anghraine
An anon asked:

AU where due to spirit shenanigans/Varrick's latest invention malfunctioning/etc., series finale Korra winds up back at the beginning of Book 1, right when she arrives in Republic City. Would she try to change anything, or let things proceed as how she experienced it?

I replied:

Oh, I definitely can’t see Korra passively going along with keeping things the same. Off the top of my head, things I think she’d change/try to change:
  • the love triangle/quadrangle
  • airbending/Avatar training
  • communication with her past lives (if they’re restored)
  • her general approach to the more benign Equalist sympathizers
  • dealing with Hiroshi
  • her relationship with Lin
  • her relationship with Tarrlok/his approach to Amon
  • the trauma and destruction that Amon/Noatak causes and his and Tarrlok’s “escape”; I think she’d try and head off both
  • the laser-focus on Republic City; she’d especially have Unalaq+the Red Lotus’s plots in the back of her mind
How successful she’d be is an open question, of course, but I think she’d try and prevent as much harm as possible. I also think she’d have access to airbending and the Avatar State, given that her spiritual state would be basically what it is at the end of B4. She might try and hide it for a little while, but I don’t think for long (Noatak might get a nasty surprise when he tries to ambush her :D).

It’s a really interesting idea, btw.

#i might write it if i had more discipline as is ... *waves vaguely*
