    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

    “Don’t be stupid.” He says, letting out a puff of smoke from his mouth that climbed high into the sky as if Zuko was a dragon or a house fire.
    “I can be very stupid, so you might need to be a little more specific.” Sokka quips, good-naturedly, reaches a hand in waiting for his turn with the cigarette, smiles up at the face that’s forever half-scowling but momentarily half-smiling at him, golden eyes indulgent and fond. “How should I go about not being stupid, Your Jerkiness?”
    He takes one last, long drag and passes it to Sokka’s waiting hands, calloused fingers brushing against calloused fingers.
    “Don’t settle for me.”

    (or the Modern AU in which Sokka flirts with a cute boy in a nowhere town during summer break and gets far more than he wagered for)

    Summary

    Everything was burning. His whole world, crumbling and turning to ash around him.

    Zuko was aware he was shaking, he was aware of the sob building in his chest. But he couldn’t care. Not when that ugly red wound was staring at him, covering his uncle’s left shoulder. His clothes smoldered and the air smelled of burnt flesh.

    Someone touched his shoulder, and Zuko flinched. Hard.

    He whirled around, fist raised and smoking with the promise of fire.

    The Water Tribe girl, Katara, backed off with her hands raised in a peaceful gesture.

    “I can help,” she promised, her voice soft, her gaze sinking to Zuko’s uncle who was lying unmoving on the ground before him. “Zuko, I can heal him.”

    “No,” he finally spoke, his voice raw and hoarse and too quiet. He hated himself. He wished he could find the anger that drove him, but it was buried beneath the grief of the idea that Uncle was going to die and it would be his fault.

    Katara’s face contorted in frustration. Her fists balled at her sides. “Zuko, if you don’t let me help he’s going to die!”

    Or: What if Zuko let Katara heal Iroh after "The Chase", and that's when Zuko joins the Gaang?

    Summary

    Ever since Fire Lord Zuko had taken the throne, the Fire Nation had seemed to become a brand new nation.

    No longer are people jumping at the chance to fight and burn in their anger. Instead, the people are choosing to burn with a different kind of passion; one fueled by care and love, no longer afraid to live their lives for themselves and not their nation.

    A side effect of this new era of peace has been an upsurge of marriages and more public relationships.

    It’s only natural that in this time of peace and love, the people want their Fire Lord to find love as well.

    And thus, Operation: Get the Fire Lord a Boyfriend was born.

    Or, 5 times the people of the Fire Nation tried to get Zuko and Sokka together, and 1 time they realized they already were.
