    Summary

    Katara's cell phone rings at 3 in the morning and she hates that she didn't turn on do not disturb.

    "Hello?"
    "Katara? Hey, uh, Zuko here...sorry to call so late but I need some help. Could you come pick me up outside the Jasmine Dragon?"
    "Zuko, are you drunk?"
    "No, no, no everything's fine. But could you maybe bring a first aid kit? And don't tell Sokka?"

    Or

    Ozai is physically abusive and Zuko's managed to cover it up until he's 22 and calling Katara to come help him with his injuries. She's pre med and discrete.

    She's also probably going to murder Ozai when she figures it out

    Summary

    It's a week into Zuko's banishment when his soulmate severs their connection. And just like he doesn't deserve to be home until he's regained his honor, he figures he doesn't deserve a soul connection, either. It's all part of the same lesson.

    (Soulmate AU: When your soulmate experiences a powerful emotion, you can feel it too. At any time for any reason, though, you can sever this connection to your soulmate so neither of you feel it anymore. Only the partner who severed the connection is able to unsever it.)

    Summary

    Sokka is so sure that Zuko is being a sneaky, conniving jerkbender - he just had to catch him in the act! He really doesn’t expect for the guy to keep unveiling horrible childhood trauma every time Sokka steps in it, though, and it’s really starting to get awkward and concerning.

    Summary

    Zuko hasn't worried about that part of himself for so long; it was buried by the exile, buried by the war, buried by duty and responsibility.

    Then, Sokka returns to the Fire Nation after time away at sea, and Zuko can't ignore that part of himself anymore. The boy he once fought at the South Pole has become a man, and Zuko's feelings can't be hidden much longer -- no matter what the laws of his country say.

    Summary

    “I’m going to go practice some firebending forms,” Zuko says stiffly, running a hand through the tangles in his hair. “Tell Aang to join me if he wants to once he wakes up.” Gold eyes dart up to where Aang had strung up a makeshift hammock and was still sleeping soundly, snoring like a buffalo yak.

    “Alright,” Sokka says, watching as he walks out without another word, evidently having reverted back into his usual brooding self. “Have fun!” He calls after Zuko loudly, which he means to be sarcastic, but comes out painfully, embarrassingly sincere. His face burns, and as soon as Zuko passes out of sight into the the temple, Katara turns to him, leveling him with a Look.

    “You like him.” She says, and it’s not a question.
