Summary
"Buck, just come stay with us,” Eddie said again.
Buck looked at him like he was crazy. “Where would I sleep?”
“Where are you sleeping here?” Eddie asked, not missing Buck’s guilty glance at the pillows and sheets piled on his couch that answered his question. “I guarantee you my couch is just as comfortable.”
Buck seemed to really consider it for the first time, jaw twitching as he weighed Eddie’s offer but then he shook his head sadly.
“You just feel bad for me, laid up and staying here alone.”
Eddie shrugged. “Is that a bad thing? Caring about you?”
OR
After the ladder truck explosion Buck moves in with Eddie and they both help each other heal in different ways.

Summary
It feels new, and good, and not just because it’s been so damn long since anyone has touched Eddie like this. It’s just—it’s Buck. Of course this is something they know how to do together. They’ve done just about everything else two people can do together; maybe this was always inevitable.
-
Or: Eddie and Buck start sleeping together when they're all stuck at Buck's place during lockdown. It still takes them almost three years to notice that they're in love.

Summary
“It’s just that—I died,” Buck continues, voice unsteady enough that Eddie wonders if this is the first time he’s acknowledged that out loud. “I died, and there’s so much more. There’s so much more I want to do, things I don’t even know I want to do yet, and I almost had the chance to have and live them taken away. I don’t want to die and regret missing out on everything else, Eddie.”
“So let’s make a list,” Eddie says. “Let’s do them.”
or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along

Summary
“Didn’t know you were seeing someone.”
Buck just laughs. Like, honest to god giggles. Eddie is stuck fighting off doubly massive waves of butterflies and confusion, all while Buck just gazes down at him.
“That’s cute,” he hears Buck mumble, just before climbing into the truck, calling Eddie after him.

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
“I have an appointment in half an hour!” Zuko huffed. “I need to finalize my sketches and make sure I have the proper gauge needles-”
“Did someone put a stick up your ass? Or did you shove one up there yourself so you had an excuse to be a total prick?” Sokka asked, cutting him off.
Zuko’s scowl deepened. “Go back to making your shitty latte’s or whatever,” he scoffed, waving Sokka off and falling back into his chair.
Sokka and Zuko do not like each other. However, unbeknownst to them, they're actually best friends online, going under the pseudonyms of thebluespirit and boomeranguy15. When Blue and Boomerang find out they both live in Hong Kong, they decide to meet up in person as soon as possible.
Suffice to say, things don't exactly go to plan.

Summary
[In rare moments of whimsy and indulgence—usually accompanied by cake—Azula would sometimes think of herself as one part of a triangle. Half of a paired dao. The northern point of a compass, even, always guiding straight and true.
But she thinks, as she contemplates the single cowering candleflame and the stifling darkness, that perhaps she’s been a lone flame all along.
No matter, though. Zuzu claims to have changed. Maybe Azula will change, too. Maybe she will forge herself into a spear, instead, striking straight and true. Or an arrow in the night. A knife in the dark.
Her eyes flick up to where Zuko just disappeared from her sight, and she snaps, sharp, precise, and feels lightning-tinged fire arc off her fingertips.
Or in the back.]
Or,
Six years after the war, Azula has finally reached her age of majority and is about to be crowned Zuko’s heir. If only Sokka could shake the feeling that she’s plotting something…
If only Azula could keep Water Tribe from bumbling into her plots.

“911, what’s your emer-”
“My son’s possessed!”
Buck’s so glad that he didn’t still have a mouth full because he would have, for sure, choked. Spluttering, and hoping to God that the guy on the other end of the line can’t hear him, he asks, “Sorry, what?”
The guy takes a calming breath. It doesn’t seem to work. “My son. He’s possessed. He has to be-”

Summary
Sokka did not expect to find an Airbender while fishing with his sister. He did not expect a Fire Nation ship to crash into their village, demanding the Avatar—who just so happened to be the aforementioned Airbender. And he did not expect a hot, sword-wielding, wise-cracking Firebender to not only help them hijack the ship, but then declare that he would be the Avatar’s teacher.
But when did anything ever go the way Sokka expected it to?
(OR: Within minutes of its formation, the Gaang encounters a Zuko who has long since begun working against Ozai. This has consequences for just about everyone.)

Summary
Sokka tamps down the urge to roll his eyes. The Fire Nation absolutely adores this guy and he has to play nice. For the Tribe, he thinks, for the Tribe.
“Zuko! Buddy!” Sokka greets loudly going in for a hug. When they’re close enough, he lowers his voice to a rough whisper. “I'd rather be doing anything else right now,” he mutters in the prince’s ear, a fake, wide smile plastered on his face.
Zuko stiffens but scoffs at him in the same volume. “Do you think I have nothing better to do?” he says, and the two break apart, both brandishing false grins at the other.
(IN WHICH: Prince Zuko and Prince Sokka accidentally cause an international scandal and now have to pretend to be best friends, which is a little difficult when they, of course, hate each other)

“What do you mean I have to do therapy in order to be an Avenger? No one ever mentioned that! That was not on the paperwork!”

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]
