Summary
Tobirama ran. It was what he did best. He ran from the family farm at sixteen, he ran from the cruelty of the world at his father's hand, he ran from loss. He isolated, he worked, and he kept moving.
When threats calling for his life start arriving at his office in the form of letters, he runs. He runs home, back to his brother, back to the farm, back to the life he'd left behind. It wasn't his idea, but he'd still followed the orders he was given to the letter.
What he hadn't accounted for in his plan was Madara, the Uchiha heir that had inherited the neighboring ranch and mended broken bridges with Hashirama in his absence. After being volunteered by his brother to help on the ranch, he wasn't really in a position to dig his heels in when he wanted to run again. This time, he was running from a renovated house and an alcholic brother that carried too many memories, instead embracing the ranching lifestyle that he'd always despised with Madara Uchiha as his boss.
He was beginning to learn the definition of helplessness.
Welcome to the Hallmark-Coded Cowboy AU TobiMada fic that no one asked for but I spent a month writing anyway.

Summary
"Tobi! I haven't heard from you in months! How are things going at the school?" Hashirama's voice was loud, even with the volume turned down on Tobirama’s phone.
"Everything is going well. I've been accepted into the Master's degree program for Organic Chemistry." He folded the bloody rag he had used to clean his newly-stitched thigh and set it into a worn duffle bag. "I spend most of my time in the lab nowadays so I haven't had much free time to call. I'm sorry, anija." Picking up his shotgun, he started the process of dismantling it on the cheap hotel bed he was sitting on so it could be properly cleaned.
"I may be able to come home sometime this summer, though.”
Or
Tobirama takes a break from hunting for a few weeks to visit his brothers. Secrets are brought to light and he finds that Hashirama’s best friend is more of a monster than he thought he was.

Summary
“Stop tapping your fingers,” Tobirama says from the other chair. His eyelids flicker when Madara vindictively drums his fingers on Hashirama’s desk once more for good measure, but he says nothing: only settles a little deeper, his chakra sensing near scalding against Madara’s skin.
Madara waits another few seconds, then snaps,
“Well? Any sign of Tomoe or Kagami?”
“Madara,” Hashirama says reprovingly from where he’s standing by the window, but where does he get off being judgmental? It’s not like his daughter and clanmate are out who-knows-where doing who-knows-what. “He’s doing his best.”
Of course Tobirama is. Doing his best for Kagami, and not for the daughter he’s never once spoken to, even though it is Konoha’s worst-kept secret that Uchiha Tomoe is not fully Uchiha at all.
-
Eleven years ago, Madara and Tobirama had an ill-advised encounter on a mission due to aphrodisiacs. Madara kept the child, but Tobirama has kept his distance ever since. Only now, when Kagami and their daughter are in danger, do Tobirama and Madara come together to save them and potentially talk things out.

Summary
Sokka takes a strategic step back, but he also smiles: triumphant, like he baited Zuko into exactly what he wanted. Like it’s a challenge. It’s the same way he looked when they sized each other up at the prison, with Sokka in chains that left red marks around his wrist, in tattered prison garb, malnourished and angry. Back then, that was Sokka saying: I see your power. I see you. Now, see me.
Zuko saw him then. And he sees him now; different, but the same. I see you.
Zuko lights his daos in flame. Sokka grins, back to gravel and heat. “Come on, Fire Lord. Impress me.”
Zuko burns. His vision flickers with fire. His heart races. His blood sings. His body is like a magnet, pulling ever onward to meet Sokka’s. He advances.
He pins Sokka to the wall, blades against his throat.
Or, Zuko found Aang first, Sokka and Katara were imprisoned in Boiling Rock for trying to rescue their dad, and all Sokka knows is he's pretty sure he's not supposed to think the Fire Lord is attractive but he's never let things like rules stop him before.

Summary
‘…H-how am I still alive?’ Zuko thinks.
Sokka flinches back. Whoaaa, how in Spirits name did Zuko project his voice like that? Sokka didn’t even see him move his lips.
As if he can hear Sokka’s thoughts, Zuko turns his head to look directly at him, eyes bewildered.
And this is where Sokka realises something is very, very wrong.
Two minutes later: “No way!” Sokka shakes his head wildly, just as prince jerkbender across him curses. “I’m soul bonded- To him?! No way! That’s just spirit mumbo-jumbo!!!”
-or, through some freak Spirit accident involving Zhao, the Avatar, and the continuous joke that is both their existence, Sokka and Zuko have been soul-bonded and mentally linked. Neither of them are particularly happy with this.

Summary
-This is the last book of the series LIAB, please go read the other two books before this, or you will be very confused-
Zuko has been taken by the Earth Kingdom army to who-knows-where, and Sokka is determined to get him back.
But he can’t do it alone.
With Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors by his side, Sokka is headed to Ba Sing Se to find Katara and Aang so they can go rescue his fire bender.
Things aren’t as easy as he had hoped. Corruption, lies, and unknown horrors await them inside the city’s walls. None of this is helping Sokka’s mental well-being.
Hakoda and his men face a problem of their own as Azula approaches with the intentions of making it rain fire.
Sokka and Zuko will both find themselves having to reintegrate back into a life they thought they left behind, with people they hardly remember. It isn’t easy for anyone, especially when they don’t recognize the person standing in front of them.
