theozilla replied to your post: The Lin post I wrote the other day reminded me of...
I think most uses of uncontrolled/emotion based bending are done for a “rule of funny” case more often than not, rather than signifying anything significant.
I don't know... a lot of times, it's done for rule of funny, but then you get stuff like Katara messing stuff up when she's furious with Pakku, or most of the times when Zuko's irritation makes fires grow, or Aang's near-Avatar State in The Storm where it clearly isn't, so I don't think it can be ruled out completely. =/

Another writeworld prompt ficlet that got a bit longer than I expected it to... But anyway, this story resulted from some of the answers I gave in this response to an ask of xc's for Korrlok. Lots of flangst, as usual, and I was tearing up whilst writing this, so be warned. Rated T.
Korra awakens to feeling as if a heavy weight has fallen upon her chest. She attempts to stifle a cough, but it doesn’t work. She struggles to open her eyes, blinking against the harsh light. Memories begin to filter back to her mind… the raid they’d undertaken at the crime lord’s lair…. the large crime lord towering over her as ice arrows slice into her body just as Tarrlok blocks her way, taking several hits himself before sinking to the ground, gritting his teeth in pain as she stumbles over to help him…. and then the darkness swamps her.
She turns her head, striving to fight against the delirium presently clouding her mind. She gradually realises that she is lying in a hospital room in Republic City because of the stark white walls of the room. Feeling very weary, she angles her head again slightly so that she can see who is resting in the bed opposite to her, and the fringes of a smile crest her mouth as she notices it is the councilman.
“Tarrlok,” she murmurs through parched lips, woodenly extending her hand to touch his arm. He stirs, moving gingerly because of the bandages on his torso. His eyes open slowly and she sees in them pain, resignation, and acceptance all at once.
“Korra?” Tarrlok mussitates, taking her hand in his own. “Korra, are you all right? What happened?” A gasp emanates from his body and he clutches his side. Korra attempts to sit up, but she is too weakened to get more leverage off of her arms to lift her even slightly to help him.
“There was a raid… I think… and now we’re injured,” Korra explains. Her eyes pool with tears at the sight of seeing her magnificent husband in such a state of incapacitation… From what she could see, his wounds seem severe and the pain radiating from his body is reflected in the light of his eyes as he stares at her. “We’ll be all right, Tarrlok,” She tries to comfort him, even though to her own mind her words ring hollow.
“I’m… not… sure…. of that,” Tarrlok replies, a groan slipping from his mouth. Just then, the doctor emerges into the room, causing Korra and Tarrlok to break their gaze off with each other and look at him. The doctor’s eyes are sympathetic as he says,
“I’m sorry, Avatar Korra, Councilman Tarrlok, but we were not able to get you here in time… we did all we could to stave off the fatality of your wounds, but our councilman is not long for this world, I think.”
He makes his words as gentle as possible, but the words still hit Korra with the force of another ice arrow. She glances at Tarrlok and knows she sees in his eyes the same knowledge.
“What about me?” she hears her voice whisper. The doctor shakes his head,
“Both of you arrived here in great distress and severely wounded… the injuries of both of you are fatal. Avatar Korra, an artery in your neck has been slashed, same as your husband, who is also suffering from an ice spear breaking his leg, which is causing him internal hemorrhaging, which you can see by his weakness.” She watches the doctor pucker his lip, almost as if he was angry at two of the highest officials in the city for daring to use their Task Force to stop crime. “I’m sorry,” the doctor murmurs before stepping outside of the room.
“Wait,” she calls to the doctor, who pokes his head back in through the door. “I want my bed pushed up next to his.”
The doctor shakes his head but moves to comply with her wishes, shoving her narrow hospital bed next to Tarrlok. The doctor steps back as Korra reaches out to run her head over Tarrlok’s face, feeling him lean wearily against her.
Korra glances up at Tarrlok, surprised to find no fear in his eyes, although she can see how limp his body is and that is worrying to her.
“I’m sorry…. I had to leave you… in this way,” Tarrlok says. She feels his hand stroking the long strands of her unkempt hair. In return, she twines her fingers within his long hair, which had fallen down during the battle and was now the way she likes it best, messy and hanging over his shoulders.
“Don’t be,” She replies, her voice as soft as a butterfly’s wings in the silent room. She presses a soft kiss to his forehead, their foreheads touching. On the wall behind their beds, a silhouette forms of their two heads resting on the other’s. “We’ll go together… my sweet.”
He stares into her weary eyes, and she sees the reflection of love beaming from them. Another moan emanates from his body, causing him to grab his side in pain again as it sears up from his leg.
“Take my hand,” he declares, extending his left hand to her from his place on his bed. She reaches out to take it, feeling the electricity of connection race through her arm at his touch. Her fingers intertwine with his as his large hand envelops her own. “I want to feel you here with me.”
She squeezes his hand gently even as a dark murkiness settles on her again. She closes her eyes, seeing Tarrlok’s face rise into her mind and form a vivid image before she loses unconsciousness but before she is swept away entirely she is aware of the sensation of touch flooding through her hand as Tarrlok grips it in his firmly, just as she breathes out for the last time.
——-
Tarrlok struggles against the miasma of greyness blanketing his vision. He dimly realises that the severity of his wounds is too much for him, but he needs to see Korra, to check that she’s all right.
He hears her call his name, and he responds, faintly,
“Korra?”
His mind gradually understands the words she is telling him, but by now he feels between both world in a lurid state of crystallised liminality.
“We’ll be all right, Tarrlok,” her words reach him in the midst of his pain, and he knows she is trying to comfort him.
“I’m… not…sure… of that,” Tarrlok replies, feeling as if a heavy weight is resting on his chest, making it hard for him to speak.
Korra protests against his words, not wanting to believe them, but he knows the truth of it. He is dying. She is possibly dying as well. The doctor emerges into the room to confirm his suspicions. Once he leaves, after pushing Korra’s bed next to his, he stares into his beautiful wife’s eyes as she gazes back at him, and he sees the love reflected there - the love that had loved him in spite of his physical scars on his face and the mental scars of his past - and he feels at peace.
“Take my hand,” he encourages her, extending his left hand for her to grasp. “I want to feel you here with me.”
The sensation of her holding it sends a thrill through him as her fingers insert into the spaces between his fingers. He squeezes her hand gently, already beginning to feel it beginning to grow limp in his fingers. He gives her hand one last squeeze as he turns to look at her, but his eyes close, trapping him in darkness, before he can see her one last time.
———
She opens her eyes to find herself still holding Tarrlok’s hand, the wind rushing through her hair. Tarrlok pulls her close to him, their hands still clasped in each other’s, laying a kiss on her hair. She feels her fingers mesh perfectly into Tarrlok’s as they begin to walk through the spirit world - together.
