    Summary

    Sokka isn’t stupid. Not that his sister is, mind you (at least, he’d never call her that to her face now that she’s honed her waterbending), or any of the rest of Team Avatar, although sometimes it feels like he’s living in a different world from the rest of them — a world where running out of food means starving, and walking into a town full of firebenders with the Avatar in tow will get you killed, rather than help you free a beaten-down Earthbender colony.

    Anyways.

    Sokka isn’t stupid, which is why he laughs directly in Aunt Wu’s face when she tells him that he will marry the Fire Lord.

    Summary

    The man’s voice once again broke him from his thoughts; “In my dreams I see them tortured by Fire Nation soldiers. I see my entire culture wiped from the South, our footprint upon the ice shelves gone as though we never existed, our connection with the spirits and our ancestors forgotten.” He was silent for the briefest of moments, then, “You’re Fire Nation, aren’t you?”

    Zuko rolled onto his side, facing the wall, scar pressed into the arm that cushioned his head. “Once, maybe.”

    “Answer me this, then; when will this war see it's end?”

    Zuko, recalling the fire that had burned in Azula’s sunlit gaze the day she’d caught up to him, chose not to respond.

    Summary

    “Thanks for coming with me,” Sokka said, leaning against the balcony.

    “Did I have a choice?” Zuko asked, wincing at how harsh it sounded.

    Sokka just scoffed. “Uh, yeah. Nobody can make you do anything, you’re the Fire Lord. There’s like, two people on this planet who can tell you what to do and you’d listen— the Avatar and your uncle.”

    “Three,” Zuko corrected.

    “What?”

    “Three people who can make me do stuff I don’t want to do,” Zuko said, softly. “The Avatar, my uncle, and you.”

    Approaching the 10th anniversary of his coronation, Fire Lord Zuko hopes that by the time they return to the capital he'll have another thing to celebrate: his engagement to Sokka.

    Summary

    “You are like. Stupid hot,” Sokka said, then blinked, as if he were surprised at himself for actually saying that out loud.
    Meanwhile, Zuko felt like he was spiraling into another dimension. Sokka. Hot, hockey-playing, literal heartthrob, Sokka, who had everyone at the school that was attracted to men (and even some who weren’t) thirsting after him, thought Zuko was hot.
    Yeah, the shitty jungle juice he’d had a single sip of must’ve transported Zuko into a parallel universe because how on Agni’s green earth was that even logistically possible?

    _

    Sokka drunkenly tells Zuko at a party that he thinks Zuko's hot. Zuko isn't really sure what that means or if it's just the words of a (beautiful) drunken dumbass. It takes some time, awkward-yet-sexually-charged interactions, and lots of meddling from their mutual friends, but eventually the two of them get their shit together.
