    Summary

    [I’m not looking to fuck right now, but my bathroom sink is currently flooding the bathroom

     

    I know it’s kind of random, but can I borrow a flathead screwdriver by any chance?

     

    I don’t really know my neighbors and you’re the closest person to me on grindr

     

    That’s…yeah, that’s new. Sokka flicks quickly through the profile, trying to decide if it’s a joke or some slang, or a reference he’s missed and finally shrugging, because,

    Yeah, he types out, why not]

    OR,

    Sokka has a new neighbor who needs some plumbing help. A lot of plumbing help, as it turns out.

    If only he could figure out if that was a euphemism.

    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.

    Simply EXCELLENT

    Summary

    What if Sokka and Zuko were able to know each other as more than enemies? What if they became confidants and friends through letters without ever realizing who was on the other side? How would that spark of a connection change the course of their lives?

    A spark is a little thing, yet it may kindle the world.

    Summary

    [“They might not realize it was unsafe,” Zuko says, nodding like that makes sense. “If it’s what they were raised with. Or if it changed slowly. So they might keep going back even if it wasn’t good.”

    “Maybe,” Sokka says, scratching at the base of his wolf tail and making a strong mental note to dig up more information. Homework might be piling up, but it's not piled yet, right? And if Zuko is interested, well, Sokka is interested in seeing where Zuko's mind goes. “The ducklings not doing well would probably be an indicator, though.”

    “Hm,” Zuko says, after what Sokka is starting to think—hope—might be a characteristic pause. “You’d think.”]

    Or,

    Sokka is nothing if not enthusiastic about his interests--Learning. Campus traditions. The campus turtle ducks. The guy who's watching the ducks so intently this year.

    Zuko is nothing if not intense about duck watching. (It's not really about the ducks.) (Is it ever?)
