+ OTP for them.

Azula/Sokka. I like how they'd keep each other mentally engaged and physically challenged.

+ Runner-up pairing.

Azula/Ty Lee. Only of either the light-'n-fluffy or the darkfic variety. Fluffy-wise, I like how their flanderized personalities bounce off each other. Darkfic-wise, I like the twisted idea of Ty Lee coming to love her abuser and, hopefully, of eventually breaking free of her forever.

+ Honorable mention(s).

Azula/Zuko. Yes, firecest. However, I like the pairing when it's Zuko who tops Azula. The dynamic of them struggling for control and playing mind games is pretty awesome.

+ Crack pairing(s).

Azula/Azula. Let's face it, this is the only pairing that would ever make canon Azula happy.

Azula/Joo Dee. I could easily see a twisted tale of Azula deciding to see how far she can push Joo Dee's ability to follow any order. Let's face it. That's what Azula would want out of a partner.

+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't. (alternately: ship I like that everyone else seems to hate)

Non-fluffy, non-darkfic TyZula. I like my TyZula of one extreme or the other, not in-between. Why? Because Ty Lee is most definitely not Azula's friend in canon. If Azula is remotely in-character, their relationship is FAR from romantic. Ty Lee was constantly terrorized and kept under Azula's thumb. There's a reason that the first thing Ty Lee did after getting out of prison was to join the Kyoshi Warriors, a team of highly capable fighters who'd be taking Ty Lee far away to the Earth Kingdom. Being Azula's friend had it's advantages but, unlike Mai, I think Ty Lee wasn't the sort to explicitly consider how she got some fringe benefits from serving Azula. TyZula fans will point to Ty Lee's flattering and mock-flirting with Azula in "The Beach" but, again, that's a terrified Ty Lee trying to appease the girl who can snuff her out with a whim.
