The funny thing is, I love the "Sokka/Suki" couple, mostly because I liked how their relationship was built; but I believe that in the Hadestown narrative, Princess Yue would fit better.

A quick context for those unfamiliar with the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice – which the musical was based on:

"Orpheus is a talented musician, poet and singer – son of the Greek god Apollo. One day he falls in love with a nymph named Eurydice. His love happens to be reciprocated by Eurydice, and the two decide to get married. However, on her wedding day, the young woman is bitten by a snake and dies instantly.

So, the young Orpheus decides to go to the underworld and retrieve the soul of his beloved. Eventually he manages to convince the god Hades to let her return with him to the world of the living.

Hades, however, offers one condition: Orpheus must lead the way, and Eurydice must follow behind him. During the way he wouldn't be able to feel or hear the girl. And if he happens to look back to make sure she is following him, her soul will return to the underworld.

I think you can guess at this point what happened. When Orpheus was very close to reaching the world of the living, he turned around to see if she was following him – she was. For breaking Hades one condition, Eurydice once again returned to the world of the dead, leaving Orpheus desolate and heartbroken."

Some details may change depending on the version of the myth, but this is basically what happens in most narratives.

It might just be me, but I can totally picture Sokka and Yue in this scenario. And I know for sure that this would be something I would LOVE to write about!

Also, here's one more thing that came to mind while I was writing this. Do you know who else could fit into the narrative of this myth?

THESE TWO RIGHT HERE:

KURUK AND UNMI

Me automatically when any couple and/or ship is introduced into a show: Ok, in a Hadestown AU, which one of then would be the "Orpheus" and wich one would be the "Eurydice"?
