    after the battle, grief and fear grab a hold onto the sully family like a vice. The metkayina grapple with the fact their peacefull way of life may not hold for long.

    Summary

    "I mean it." Sokka gestured at Zuko's shoulders. "You were not this big last time. What happened? Did you start lifting rocks? Did you start eating rocks?"

    He stopped in front of Zuko and punched him in the shoulder.

    The punch landed with a solid thud that would have staggered most men. Zuko did not move an inch.

    Summary

    "You think I hate you? You think I'd ever kill you?" Sokka holds Zuko's face in both hands, blood dripping from his lips. "I'd fall on my sword for you. I'd find you anywhere. What do you think that means?"

    Rescued, but imprisoned, Zuko finds himself no further from death on a water tribe ship. Sokka, the chief, would see him bleeding out on the boards of the deck as justice. He's a fire bender, the evil of the war that his father rages through their world. Zuko hasn't been a part of that war. Not for years. Now he's thrust back into it against his will, finding himself fighting on a side he never expected to be a part of. Maybe he'll find a cause worth fighting for; someone worth fighting for.

    Summary

    Zuko has been traveling with the Avatar gaang for three weeks, five days, and, if he’s honest, far too many emotionally compromising group bonding moments.

    Not used to sharing campfires without suspicion. Not used to laughter that isn’t sharp-edged or cruel. Not used to people standing close to him without flinching. And he is definitely not used to being grabbed.

    Unfortunately, Sokka has decided Zuko’s survival depends on fixing that. With firebending off the table, Sokka, self-proclaimed “tactical genius,” has taken it upon himself to teach him non-bending close-quarters combat.

    Specifically: grappling.

    Specifically: using Zuko as a demonstration dummy.

    Zuko hates it...He absolutely hates it.

    There is nothing dignified about being shoved, pinned, or manhandled mid-argument, and nothing strategic about the way Sokka keeps finding his wrists, shoulders, waist…

    This is a problem...A serious problem...And Zuko is handling it very normally.

    Summary

    “W…well!” Katara rushed to add, “I mean, they’re not married yet!” She chuckled nervously, fidgeting in her chains. “It was…uhm…spur of the moment!”

    “Exactly!” Aang cut in, “You know how lovebirds are! One minute it’s all ‘raa, let me kill you!’ Then it’s—‘no, my love, marry me!’”

    The king was not impressed.

    “Avatar,” his voice was a rumble, “are you telling me my bride, whom I was promised over ten years ago, has decided to become wed to this—” his eyes cut to the left, “—thing?”

    Aang looked over at Sokka, who was sweating profusely in the corner of their small cell, and turned back to the king. “…How mad will you be if I say yes?”

    —————————

    Or: When the Gaang is kidnapped by a very wealthy Earth Kingdom city, Sokka and Zuko must pretend to be a couple to keep the King from claiming Zuko as his bride.
    What the Gaang doesn’t realize, however, is that this King staked his claim on Zuko a long, long time ago.

    And he will not stop until he gets what he rightfully deserves.
