    Summary

    Sokka smiled a faint, fragile smile. Zuko felt his cheeks grow warm. Something about Sokka’s overwhelming closeness was making him feel dizzy. His whole body was on edge, like it was mid-flinch. He felt electric and afraid.

    Summary

    Sokka looked around the throne room with interest. “I always wondered what the world was like from up here - must be nice looking out at your adoring subjects.”

    “Being the Fire Lord is pretty dull,” Zuko said glumly, "unless you enjoy hearing people bicker about taxes. After a while, thwarting the occasional assassination is basically a form of stress relief."


    In which Fire Lord Zuko and Ambassador Sokka get drunk, go fishing, watch theatre, uncover a conspiracy, visit a teahouse, destroy a historical monument, and reckon with the painful legacy of the past – but not necessarily in that order. [PODFIC AVAILABLE]

    Summary

    Sokka accidentally makes a wish and now he can read minds. He starts hearing his friend's thoughts, but one voice in particular stands out.

    And the things it's saying, that would probably never have left the person's lips, are really...eye opening for Sokka.

    Summary

    University is a chance to reinvent yourself, to better understand yourself.
    Sokka is a first year engineering student with more than his fair share of self doubts ever since his mother - Kya - passed. He carries a lot of regrets and words left unsaid. Zuko is the son of a successful business man who has been banished from home until he completes his business degree and can work for the family. Problem is, he'd much rather be a musician.
    It's hard to love yourself. Sometimes, you need someone else to come along and teach you how to do it.

    Summary

    “And now, with everything finished, I am resigning from my role as the leader of this Team and tendering my resignation.” With the same breath, he handed his communicator to a stunned Kaldur before turning and walking straight out of the Hall, without a glance back.

    Summary

    Sokka needs to rescue his father from an undoubtedly horrible fate at the Boiling Rock and he needs to do it alone to prove himself a capable alpha and restore his honor. If only he could get a certain stupidly infuriating jerkbending omega who doesn't know what self-preservation means let him go alone.

    Or: Sokka's desire to be a good son and rescue his father battles with his desire to keep Zuko safe and out of harm's way. Zuko just wants Sokka to stop treating him weird and maybe bust a few guards' heads for stress relief.

    Summary

    He leaves the drive-thru and enters the main parking lot. He’s about to leave and drive back home when he spots another car parked in the lot. The lights of the car are off, except for a light inside the car, and Sokka catches a quick glimpse of a guy in a red sweater, drinking a milkshake.

    Sokka really does not want to be alone with his thoughts right now, so he decides, on a whim, that he’s gonna try and talk to this guy who also apparently had a breakdown tonight.

    “Hi, I’m Sokka,” he introduces. “So, I had a breakdown earlier tonight, and I’ve been informed by the all too caring drive-thru staff that I’m not the only one who’s come through after a breakdown, and I’m guessing that other person is you. So, I was wondering if you wanted to come sit on the curb with me and talk about our problems while we have our sweets.”

    Or, Sokka and Zuko keep meeting in a McDonald's parking lot and bond through their mutual breakdowns. Turns out, it's easy to spill your heart to a stranger in the middle of the night and create a bond that lasts even in the daylight.

    Summary

    Before Toph leaves to see her mother, she decides to take Sokka to her favorite tea shop in Ba Sing Se, the Jasmine Dragon.

    Sokka recognizes the tea server and nearly has a heart attack. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), Toph mistakes his elevated heart rate for attraction and insists on setting him and the server up on a date.

    In Sokka's opinion, it could be worse. A date is as good an opportunity as any to get some intel from Zuko.

    Summary

    “Sokka?” Zuko’s voice sounds more careful now. It’s not as frantic, more low and questioning in a rare soft tone that Sokka doesn’t think he's ever heard before.

    “Could you…” Sokka’s voice is barely above a murmur, “could you come pick me up?”. He’s looking dazed at his legs splayed out in front of him, watching the rain slide off of his sneakers.

    “Where are you?” Zuko says sternly.

    Summary

    Sokka didn't like spirits and magic, he didn't hate it but it didn't interest him either, he only believed in things he could see. All that magic stuff belonged to Katara, the only person with water magic in the village. He didn't believe in all that and didn't want to be part of it even after a spirit appears to show him his soulmate.

    or

    That one fanfic trope that I love where Zuko and Sokka meet in their dreams thanks to the spirits when they are little and grow up connected to each other thanks to that.

    Summary

    The first time that Katara bends the water under their feet, Sokka is six years old. Almost immediately, he understands that the magic-water-thingy that Katara just pulled isn’t a very good thing.

    -

    When it turns out that Katara's a water bender, Kya and Hakoda decide that the best course of action to keep their daughter safe is to send her up to the Northern Water Tribe, where she can be with other water benders. Kya goes with her.

    Hakoda tells Sokka to forget about ever having a sister. He tells him to 'remember' that his mother died when he was born.

    As a result, Sokka grows up alone, (never forgetting about Katara or Kya), and this changes everything.

    Summary

    When Sokka was ten, he didn't want to believe in soulmates.

    If the Spirits were in charge of soulmates, then he didn’t want one. They took his mother from him, so they must have hated him. They’ll give him a bad soulmate.

    He told his father this much, and Hakoda chuckled, pulling his son in closer. “The Spirits, Sokka, are mysterious things. They have a plan for each and every one of us. Mine involved your mother, and your’s will involve a soulmate as well."

    “Thanks, Dad.” Sokka yawned, snuggling closer to his father.
    ---
    When Zuko was ten, he prayed to the Spirits for a soulmate.

    He wanted so badly for someone to understand his pain, wanted someone to listen to him when he told funny stories that he made up, wanted someone who would love him for who he was.

    He told his mother this much, and she smiled down at him, hauling her up into her lap. "The Spirits have blessed you already, my dear. Everyone will get a soulmate, but you have to understand that as a prince of the Fire Nation, your duties to the nation will always come first. Promise me you'll never forget that."

    "I promise, Mom." he said, before bounding out of her lap and off towards the turtleduck pond.
