Some stories there might show their relationship developing, their adventures together, and how they support each other, which can be really interesting to read.
In the Avatar universe, Amon was a complex and often villainous character. There wasn't really a traditional 'love story' between Amon and Korra. Amon was more about power and his anti - bender ideology. Korra was focused on maintaining balance and protecting the world. Their relationship was mainly one of opposition rather than love.
Korra could meet the founders of the different bending disciplines. She could meet the first water benders and learn about the purest form of water bending. This would not only enhance her own skills but also give her a deeper connection to her water - bending heritage.
