The Legend of Korra/Ships

Korroh
Korroh is the het ship between Iroh and Korra.

Canon
Korra first met Iroh during the Battle for Republic City, but they already viewed each other as valuable allies before they even met. While he was on his way to Republic City, Iroh sent a message to Korra that he looked forward to taking back the city with her. Korra later watched him in battle and saved him from drowning after his ship was struck by a bomb. Iroh was grateful for this. When they were back at the hideout, Korra healed Iroh's wounds and they worked on a plan. Korra decided it was time for her to face Amon directly and Iroh decided that it was best for him to trust the Avatar's judgement.

Over six months later, Korra was facing difficulty when president Raiko refused to send aid to the Southern Water Tribe after they went into a war with the north. Korra decided to seek direct assistance from General Iroh after Varrick recommended that he do so. Iroh was willing to help and devised a plan to fight the Northern Water Tribe through a self-defense situation, but that was ruined when Raiko arrived and warned him not to act. Iroh then advised Korra to seek out the aid of his mother and grandfather as they were friends of both the Avatar and the Southern Water Tribe.

Fanon
Many fans ship Korra with Iroh because it pairs the Avatar with the crowned prince of the Fire Nation. Their bond is often paralleled with Roku and Sozin's early bond as well as Aang and Zuko's bond. Many fans also interpreted the scene where Korra saved Iroh from drowning as being reminiscent of the Little Mermaid. Many hoped that Korroh would end up being an alternative to Makorra. While many speculated that Iroh was in his early twenties, it turned out that he was actually 36 years old, but that still did not stop fans from shipping him with Korra.

Lieumon
Lieumon is the slash ship between Amon and the Lieutenant.

Canon
It is unknown how Amon first met the Lieutenant but they worked closely together as Equalists. The two always had mutual trust and admiration for each other. Amon trusted the Lieutenant enough to make him is second in command and the Lieutenant dedicated his life to Amon and his cause. Both believed in ridding the world of all bending. The Lieutenant always accompanied Amon in public appearances and in fights. Eventually, Korra revealed that Amon is actually a waterbender named Noatak but the Lieutenant did not believe her. However, he later witnessed Amon bloodbending Korra. He was hurt by this because of his dedication to Amon and charged at him which prompted Amon to bloodbend him aside while remarking that he had served him well. Amon was later killed in a boat explosion by his brother Tarrlok. It is unknown what happened to the Lieutenant.

Fanon
Lieumon is a highly popular ship within the Legend of Korra fandom and is one of the most popular slash ships. It had a decent amount of shippers from the start and increasingly became more popular as Book One: Air was airing. It especially became popular when the Lieutenant was hurt by the revelation of Amon's true identity and remarked that he dedicated his life to Amon. Many fans pointed out that he specifically said that he dedicated his life to Amon and not his cause or the Equalists.

A lot of fan fiction about them has been written despite the fact that Amon is dead. On AO3, Lieumon is the most written ship for both Amon and Lieutenant. It's also the seventeenth most written ship within the Avatar: Legends of Korra tag.
