So, with this series now complete, I’ve made a small little masterlist for it.
I had fun exploring various relationships and characters through Mako and I hope I added some meaningful boosts to a fair few Mako rare pairs.
If He can Cook, He’s a Keeper - Mako / Korra / Asami
Or five times Mako cooked for Korra and Asami and the one time they tired to cook for him.
Mako cooking for Korra and Asami over the years, as the three of them fall into, out of, and back into love with one another over homecooked meals.
From Before, and Now, to After - Mako / Tahno
Mako hated the White Falls Wolfbats, in fact all the Fire Ferrets did, but Mako’s reason was a bit more…personal.
A nasty breakup leads to a nasty rivalry that leads to a reconciliation?
Muse - Mako / Huan Beifong
Mako becomes slightly obsessed about Huan's new sculpture, unware of who the muse is.
Sleeping Dragon - Mako / Iroh II
Mako's soul mark is apparently more common than he thought. It takes him a few times to get it right.
An Anchor, a White Jade and a Sleeping Dragon.
The Prince and the Pauper - Mako / Prince Wu
Mako still wasn’t sure about being in Ba Sing Se. While it was nice to no longer live on the streets, Mako missed the city he grew up in. One day Bolin convinces him and Tu to sneak up into the Upper Ring where Mako has a run in with some noble brat.
Little did Mako know, that exchange, and a college scholarship, would change his life in the best way possible.
A Chance Encounter - Mako / Izumi’s Daughter (Ursa II)
When Korra drags the group to the Fire Nation for a festival, Mako gets separated. Luckily he's found by the prettiest woman in the Fire Nation.
Truth Wills Out - Mako / Asami
Mako contemplates while in prison. He comes to a conclusion he should have realized a while ago.
He and Asami did make more sense, and he was an idiot.
Smoothies, Tea and Coffee - Mako / Wu / Iroh II
In quiet moments, Mako sometimes contemplates on the men he fell in love with. He comes to some interesting conclusions sometimes and falls even more in love with them.
The Other Firebender - Mako / Asami / Iroh II
Mako's insecurities grow as it appears that Asami and Iroh II are getting closer. Fearful that he's losing his girlfriend, Mako doesn't realize he's growing closer to the General too.
Picking Sides - Mako / Korra
When the argument over Mako reporting Korra to Raiko escalates, Mako picks a side, and Korra does the same.
The Other Brother - Mako / Wing Beifong
When Bolin invites his new boyfriend and their twin to stay with them, Mako finds himself developing a slight crush on the other brother.
Ice Prince - Mako / Desna
When Mako followed Korra to the Southern Water Tribe for a spiritual festival, he hadn't expected the chaos to follow.
The Water Tribe Civil War was building quickly, but at least the events had also brought him Desna.
Shifting Winds - Mako / Opal
A precious stone that was normal at first glance, but iridescent in the right lighting. Something told Mako that Opal, the person, would be the same.
Mako met Opal at the wrong time in his life. He was glad that didn't seem to stop them.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work - Mako / Hasook
Mako puts a lot of effort into making the Fire Ferrets a well oiled machine but pushing too hard may cost him his relationship.
Can he make it up to Hasook or will be be left floating in the drink?
Mako comes to better understand his friend's love for him after a reporter starts writing article after article about him in the papers over who he's dating.
Republic City Night Report - Mako / Korra / Asami / Iroh II / Wu (Polyship)
Bian Yumei struggles to piece together a romantic plot that forms around some of the highest profile people in Republic City.
What she finds surprises her.
This was written from an outside perspective while the rest are mostly Mako’s perspective. I just felt like it didn’t really fit the series by the time it was done so I published it separately, but it’s still a fun read.
