History Fanfic / BookFiveLegends

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything?: [[spoiler:Yue visits Asami in a lunar vision and provides advice on how to handle her feelings for Korra, essentially telling her to go for it despite what society will say. WordOfGod is that while unintentional, can be seen as a metaphor for advising non-standard sexuals to pursue their natural affections]].

* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: [[spoiler:Temuji and Fumiko]] may have had good intentions at the beginning, but as their power grows from unnatural acts, their values slowly erode until they’re dangerous to themselves and the world at large. At one point their behavior is even likened to “hasing spirits in some seedy Republic City back alley.”

* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: [[spoiler:Temuji and Fumiko]] may have had good intentions at the beginning, but as their power grows from unnatural acts, their values slowly erode until they’re dangerous to themselves and the world at large. At one point their behavior is even likened to “[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar chasing spirits in some seedy Republic City back alley]].”

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** Tahno again hits on Korra, making a remark about how a true pro bends. This after they’ve already had a friendly sparring match, his meaning could not be more clear. Korra turns him down.
** Also, the “Varrick Zhu Li” a book on a very “''special''” kind of bending, is implied to be the Avatar world’s equivalent of the Kama Sutra (WordOfGod confirms this is exactly what it is). Its contents are never shown, only discussed, and always kept away from the children.
** A comparison is made of the villain when they begin acting DrunkOnTheDarkSide to “''chasing spirits of a different sort in some seedy Republic City back alleyway''.”

* CurseCutShort: Frequently, in order to facilitate GettingCrapPastTheRadar.

* TailorMadePrison: It's metioned at the beginning of the story that Suyin has built a prison made of platinum for Kuvira. In the finale, [[spoiler:Ghazan’s wooden island prison]] is re-visited as well as the new home of [[spoiler:Fumiko]].

** PlayingWithFire: Meiling rounds them off as the teams firebender, who makes a habit of [[CallingYourAttacks Calling Her Attacks]] to give them added "oomph!" For the bad guys side, there's [[EvilUncle Drago]].

* MixNMatchCritters: Eel-hounds, introduced during the finale in Aang's era, make a comeback here in the form of Jiao, Avatar Ban's faithful companion pet. We hear the occasional mention of some others, but few appear within the story itself.

%%* PunctuatedForEmphasis: “'''Walking! Dead! Men!'''”

** Meiling averts this, her family are well off but thanks to military connections, and are not part of any noble bloodline.

* ContinuationFanFic.

* WalkingTheEarth: Ban and his friends are doing this, not in the traditional sense of visiting the other nations to learn the Elements, but also to avoid whomever is trying to have him killed in the White Lotus. It's leading them to some interesting locales.

* WalkingTheEarth: Ban and his friends are doing this. Not in quite the traditional sense of visiting the other nations to learn the Elements, but also to avoid whomever is trying to have him killed in the White Lotus. It's leading them to some interesting locales.

** AllYourPowersCombined: Ban, of course, as the newest Avatar. He's still working on it, but he's starting with [[DishingOutDirt earth]].

** DishingOutDirt: Ban's default and starting element. Also the Element of the mysterious "Third" and [[TattooedCrook Jade Li Xa]].

** PlayingWithFire: Meiling rounds them off as the teams firebender, who makes a habit of CallingHerAttacks to give them added "oomph!" For the bad guys side, there's [[EvilUncle Drago]].

* TattooedCrook: Jade Dragon Triad always have a tattoo of a green, snake-like dragon somewhere on their bodies. The Triad made it mandatory to ensure they'd always be loyal.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Ban, of course, as the newest Avatar.

* TimeSkip: Takes place a full generation later, during the Avatar world's equivalent of the 80s.

* BroadStrokes: In regards to the new continuity set forth in the comics TheLegendOfKorraTurfWars and TheLegendOfKorraRuinsOfTheEmpire, saying some ideas will be taken but overall the fanfic follows a different history.

----> '''Korra''' “Is my love life always going to be such a huge source of gossip?”
----> '''Mako''' “People Talk. And you’re the Avatar, people talk about you more than most.”

----> “The world needed Aang to be the Avatar when he was. We were at war... in more ways than one... and we needed a peacemaker and a savior. But in this day and age, we don't need that. We’d already been saved. Worse, we’d become stagnant and... complacent. Boring even. What we needed was someone to shake up the status quo and get big change started.”

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Koko is a huge fan of this trope. Not only she insists on [[PrincessesRule being a addresses a princess despite being a queen]] (and not even a real queen, just a figurehead), but also insists on addressing Korra as a princess based on being the daughter of the chieftain of the Sothern Water tribe, despite Korra explaining that her father isn't in a heredity position like the Northern Water Tribe. And then there’s [[spoiler:Azula]], who remains TheDreaded who terrifies others with the mere mention of her name, averting this ''hard''.

Set immediately following ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendofKorra'', [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10902301/1/Book-5-Legends Book 5: Legends]] is a ContinuationFic by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/~Rassilon001 Rassilon001]].

* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:Azula]] of all people, was one for Temuji as a child. He himself is also somewhat one for Fumiko, although he's more of a BigBro than a father.

* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:Temuji]] is this for Korra, as the Anti-Avatar able to wield [[AllYourPowersCombined all four elements]] and out to change the world (and not for the better). Their visible change in personality and character almost mimics hers in reverse, from a caring, mature individual to a more selfish, self-centered psychopath. [[spoiler:WordOfGod is that he was explicitly designed to be one visually from the start, and seems her opposite in almost every physical regard as well. [[GenderFlip a boy to her being a girl]], [[EvilAlbino pale-skinned]] to her [[AmbiguouslyBrown dark]], [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] vs [[BlueIsHeroic blue]], even [[PlayingWithFire fire]] to her [[MakingASplash water]] (starting elements). Likewise, Temuji is an orphan whose lost his parents and has [[MommasBoy an unhealthy obsession with his departed mother]], while Korra still has both of her parents and is arguably [[DaddysGirl closer to her father]]]].

* HeroKiller: The villains successfully kill [[spoiler:Lin Beifong]] about two-thirds through the story, upping the stakes for the final act.

* CharacterDevelopment: After having visited the Spirit Realm for himself, Tenzin seems to have accepted his close ties of family and his place in the material world, and no longer seeks to crossover any longer.
