AU Asami is Amon by nikoniko_808

Give me the forbidden enemies to lovers Korrasami

Okay I wrote up my own au of Asami as Amon

Hiroshi and Asami witnessed the death of Asami’s mother at the hands of the Red Lotus society. Asami swore revenge on all benders. The corruption of Benders has gone too far and Asami and her father cannot let it continue. So they create a movement. The Equalists. Near the end of season 1. Asami would be nowhere to be seen. The Krew believes the Equalists have kidnapped Asami and when Korra confronts Amon, they don’t see her.

Tarrlok is still captured by Amon, when Korra sees him and they chat, he tells the whole story of Amon as it happened in the show to her and everything. Like it goes in the show. Korra and friends go to confront Amon at the arena where Tenzin and his family are about to lose their bending. But they don’t because she gets there in time. She accuses Amon of being a bender, as per Tarrlok’s story. Amon doesn’t unmask. And he isn’t a bender. Tarrlok lied to get Korra to confront Amon so that he could capture her and he could hopefully save his own skin for the service at least. They fight. Amon takes Korra’s bending in a big demonstrative way. So all the crowd can see what comes to any benders, especially The Avatar who stand against him. Then the reveal happens. Asami is Amon.

In order to get her bending back and learn how to give others their bending back (yeah, Korra wouldn’t get it back at the end of Book 1 because consequences? What’re those?), Korra has to go on a quest to learn her bending(her masters would be Toph, Katara, Izumi and Tenzin) in the Spirit World to understand everything. Korra does not cry about loosing her bending because she realized she’s still The Avatar and has to go to The Spirit World to get her bending back, to help everyone get their bending back and stop Asami

Throughout the series, we would meet Kya, Bumi, Izumi, Eska, Desna(Eska and Desna would be Korra’s siblings in this universe, because fuck Unaloq) Opal and Kai. We have the same romance between Bolin and Opal and Jinora and Kai. We would also meet Varrick and Zhu Li, because they are comedy gold. They would all help in the fight against Amon and the Equalists.

In Korra’s venture to the Spirit World,

she would still see Wan’s story(because that’s the only thing I liked about Book 2) and I think in her journey in the spirit world she would see Asami’s story, in which her family were victims of the Red Lotus society and Asami learned to take bending away in the spirit world. Not only that, we would find out that Asami would be bonded with Vaatu. Asami is the darker Avatar.

Before she leaves The Spirit World she connects with all her past lives to ask what she should do about Asami. Korra has her Aang moment where she has too has to decide what to do like he did with the fire lord, only this time there’s more to it than just stopping the bad guy. It’s about the person she loved. She can restore everyone’s bending by reversing Amon’s convergence, but she can’t do that so long as the avatar spirit is split. And as long as Asami is part avatar, she can go into the avatar state. That’s still pretty damn dangerous even with only water and blood bending. Korra realizes the only thing she can do to stop Asami? Love her.

After her journey to relearn her bending and journey in the spirit world, Korra travels the world to gain allies. From the Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, Water Tribes and Air Nomads. Korra unites the world against Amon and the Equalists.

In the final fight, Korra defeats Amon. She exorcises Vaatu from Asami, thus ending the dark Avatar and stopping Amon’s convergence. She reverses what Asami has done and uses it to restore everyone’s bending. So she has to come to the hard part. Amon makes it clear, no matter what, even without the ability to energy bend or without Vaatu, Amon will never stop, Benders will never be safe. Korra shows Asami what she was denied. Korra loves her and forgives her. Asami gives up and accepts whatever punishment.

During Book 3, Asami would work with Korra in stopping and killing the Red Lotus society. However, when Zaheer is stopped. He is left at the mercy of Asami and for everything he’s done and turned her into. Asami kills him.

Book 4 happens. Asami’s redemption is rebuilding Republic City and using Future Industries to repair the damage she’s done as Amon. Blah blah blah Korra stops Kuvira blah blah. Asami earns her redemption and the love of Republic City, the krew and more importantly Korra. Ends with Korra and Asami venturing in the Spirit World and ends with a kiss.

ok so I dipped into the equalist!Asami tag and saw things and listen... I know it's real fun to reimagine and everything, but honestly, can you imagine?? Back then??

People can't even handle good but bitchy female characters who don't actually do anything wrong NOW and you think fandom would have given Asami a redemption arc? If she was an ACTUAL Equalist and doing literally anything that causes someone (in particular Korra) pain? You think korrasami would be canon? There's been tons and tons of meta about how and why Zuko's redemption arc was successful and NONE of that would apply to equalist!Asami.

So which would you have rather had? Canon equalist!Asami or Canon Korrasami? Cause you know 10 years ago it would have been one or the other... and korrasami was too damn important to let it be squandered because audiences suck.

[asamiontop]

There is an incredible fic for this: I am the wolf, she is the moon by @prettyaveragewhiteshark

Go read it! But read the tags to make sure it’s for you!

“Let this be the last time Avatar.” - Equalist!Asami AU aka what we could’ve had 😔🔥

Saw somewhere that Asami was supposed to be part of the Equalists in s1?? and that her and Korra would fight before they officially meet?? oHHH THE POTENTIALL NO ONE TALK TO MEE

Anyways, have some korrasami + some lovely extras I’ve done over the past week. Gonna go headfirst into continuing commissions now byee

asami warm up sketch

anon ask for Asami with a gun, so I'm back with my bullsht. Equalist Asami, but she has a gun and a motorcycle

[whatifitookalilnap]

Equalist Asami is doing her best okay:

[strayconstellation]

don't you look good in red?

[hedgethemaze]

Tho I never mentioned it before, this is a theory I support 100% and there's little to no room to think otherwise if one pays attention through season 1.

More importantly, Asami expressly says "My dad MADE SURE I'd always be able to protect myself." (Episode 7)

OP's images clearly show Asami's fighting style is virtually the same as that of the equalists.

To tell the truth, the last couple of rewatchs I did of the series (awhile ago) I would have bet that one equalist fighting Korra in the first gif, from ep 3, was meant to be Asami in the beginning - female and the body shape and height are arguably the same - though we would never have a confirmation of that, due to the U-turn her character ultimately makes as we all know.

Yep, Asami definitely has equalist training. It makes complete sense for her father to teach her how to fight benders using equalist techniques even if she didn't know at the time why.

[thals-gr27]

Inside me are two wolves:

One is kinda glad we didn't get the Equalist Asami + Redemption arc in LoK. 1) the whole problem with the first two seasons is that the creators thought that was it. Any attempt at redemption would've have been really rushed and rough. 2) a redemption arc would've only been compared to Zuko's arc, and been fuel for the Korra haters whether it was done well or not. 3) she's awesome as a protagonist who turns on her father and stays true to her ideals.

The other desperately wishes we'd gotten hot villain Asami Sato with an enemies to allies to friends to lovers arc with Korra.

[firelxdykatara]

to this day it's astounding to me that bryke claimed they liked asami too much to have her be an equalist.

like what was the thought process there?

"we like her too much to do anything fun or interesting with her character! she can just be there to drive and look pretty."

it's like they completely forgot that one of the reasons zuko is far and away the fan favorite character from atla is that he had some astounding character growth that began with him as a villain. it's honestly just further proof of their incompetence, because they had the amazing makings of a redemption arc on their hands and just squandered it.

i might have actually shipped korrasami if it had the sauce some decent e2l framing would've given it, rather than asami being the poor put upon girl constantly framed as the victim of the stupid love triangle shit.

[shortkingvi]

i haven’t and probably will never watch the netflix atla for many reasons, but if they were to ever make a live action korra where they actually do the equalist asami plotline in s1 and it leads to enemies to lovers korrasami…. i apologize for who i will become

[yikes-kachowski]

How do we feel about bumi ii being an equalist as a part of his edgy teen years? Am I crazy for liking the idea?

sketches!!!

(dont worry, he just was protesting, nothing violent)

I feel like as a nonbender who feels like an outsider in his own family, a group that preys on his insecurities and validates his fears of being seen as less than could very easily pull him in.

Not to mention, I don't think the equalist movement is completely without merit. I actually have a lot of thoughts on equalists and nonbenders in general in meta and in universe.

Adult bumi design :)

I FUCK WITH THIS ‼️‼️

Happy Pride Month! Here’s a Badass pose of AU “Evil Korrasami”.

In a timeline where Korra was successfully kidnapped by the Red Lotus and raised by them.

And this version of Asami was an Equalist spy as the writers originally intended.

Aka Red Lotus Korra and Equalist Asami

LoK really planned on making Asami an equalist but loved her so much they decided to have her turn on her father and have Korra fall head over heels in love with her huh? The power she has.
