I don't know what qualifies as good romance. The only romantic stories I can stand are Monster Musume and Katawa Shoujo.

Guess what: There's a sequel.

Because joy and hope are illusions and love is merely a warm, fleeting thought that is there to fool us into thinking life is anything but cold, unforgiving, and harsh. Woe unto thee, Avatar fans. Woe unto thee.
(But seriously, you owe it to yourself to check this comic out: It's even more bizarrely horrible than the first one.) -

Seriously, why do people have this innate ability to take canon and completely miss the point of characterization, plot, and conflict in the name of contrived, badly-written and overly-dramatic romance?! Guh.

Luckily the fic looks thoroughly dead, and the TVTropes article doesn't seem to have changed much since I saw it a year ago. But it's fairly noxious despite how short it is.
On a more positive note, there's a sporking of the original here. -

She's done a number of sporkings I'm very fond of - nice to see she's giving THAT particular stinker what-for. I still pray for her sanity, though.
