Summary
"Sokka knows that his dad totally loved his mom, he was a wreck after she passed, and he also knows his dad is a catch who deserves someone who’ll see how cool he is. He knows this, and he was prepared to watch his dad move on. Get his groove back, if you will.
He just doesn’t know if he ever would’ve been ready for Zuko."
-or-
Sokka's dad brings home his young, new boyfriend for Easter. It's a lot.

Summary
“I, uh…” Zuko shifted in his seat. “Well…” He gestured vaguely, hands following the movement of his wrists. “Yes,” he settled on finally, averting his eyes. “I’ve met my soulmate.”
“What?” Sokka leaned forward interestedly, ignoring the soft ache behind his ribcage. “Is it that goth chick? Mel?”
“Mai,” Zuko snapped. “And...no, it’s not her.”
“Then who?” Suki asked. “Do we know her?”
“Yes—No. It doesn’t matter.”
“You don’t have to tell us, Zuko—” Katara started.
“Good!” Zuko said, standing up. “Because I don’t want to!”

Soulmate AU Where you see in grayscale until you hear your soulmate laugh for the first time. Sokka laughs a lot, loud, proud, and bright. Zuko...barely even smiles.

Summary
Zuko almost said it. He almost said the words I think I’m in love with you, but he choked them back down at the last second.
Zuko would never be able to be what Sokka wanted. They might have needed each other during the summer, when two boys with too much weight on their shoulders found comfort in each other in the only way they knew how.
But now Zuko was Fire Lord, and Sokka was leaving.
Or, a self indulgent Ambassador Sokka & Fire Lord Zuko fic set to the tune of ‘peace’ by Taylor Swift.

Summary
“He imagined Zuko kneeling before his own father, a man who didn't have any reservations about hurting a child, begging in the same way. He imagined his own son being this scared of fathers. He threw up.
Watery bile from weeks on prison food spilt through his lips and he was hacking, choking on grief and horror. War had filled his lungs with smaug and ash and as he gasped for air through tears he couldn’t care less for his own misery, only that of the boy before him.”
or
the 5 times someone realises Ozai isn’t the best parent +1 time they manage to convince Zuko of that fact

Bookmark Notes:
Jee hated Zuko. He was bossy and smug. Each condescending smirk and harsh command caused the acidic hatred in his chest to bubble and grow.
On a small boat, hatred can fester like a mould, spreading through every crevice and crack. There is no escape from his burning hate when every day he must face the source of it.
The thing about hatred is it is not as far from love as people think, it too can make you blind. Blind to Zuko’s red scar, blind to how fucking young this boy was to be on a boat with only his uncle to trust, blind to how if maybe Zuko yelled even a little bit less would anyone even bother to listen to what he said.
Then came the storm. Then came Iroh’s story. And everything changed. Jee was not nice, he had served a tyrannical regime too long to ever be considered a nice person but he was, above all else, a good, honourable man.
There was no good, no honour in the firelord’s actions. To rule a nation obsessed with honourability and then to permanently burn your 13 year old son’s face for the crime of speaking out of turn even as he begged for forgiveness? It was wrong.
Jee didn’t sleep that night, too focused on the acidic bile in his throat and the pit in his stomach as he tried to imagine his own father hurting him like that.
He would lie in the morning, tell the similarly sleepless crew he hadn’t slept due to the thunder. They would agree (it was a boat of liars afterall).
And if after that he was just the tiniest bit kinder, just the smallest bit more generous with the banished prince’s food servings, even a smidge more conscious of Zuko’s face when they dueled with firebending… well the whole crew was doing the same.
No one ever talked about it. Not to each other or Iroh and definitely not Zuko. Jee couldn’t even imagine the proud prince being faced with what no doubt he would see as the humiliation behind his scar.
Zuko approached him a week after the storm, a week after the beginning of small kindnesses Zuko needed.
“Do you think I am weak, Lieutenant Jee?” There was no insecurity in the words, just anger.
“No, Sir, of cou-“ Jee scrambled for the words that would appease an emotional 16 year old.
“Then tell me,” Jee had not successfully found the words “why in agni’s name you are treating me like porcelain.” Zuko’s voice was hushed, a dangerous quiet laced with poisonous shame and frustration.
“Porcelain, sir?” Jee had been kinder, but only so that Zuko was now treated as he would any other 16 year old annoyance. Barely a difference, basic respect for a commanding officer- nothing Zuko should have taken offense at,
He was not a delicate man, no sailor was and that would never change even when faced with a 16 year old boy with a 3 year old scar.
“I know what you and the crew think of me.” Jee was mortified to see tears building in Zuko’s one golden eye. “I know you think I’m a tyrant and I’m weak and useless and-“
Zuko was cut off by a hug, warm arms wrapped around a far too skinny teenager.
“I don’t know who made you think these things about yourself, sir.” He did and he had some words to throw in Ozai’s pompous face if they ever met. “But you are young, you are learning. It is not an easy task you have been given but we, all of us not just your esteemed uncle, are on your side. Not the fire nation’s, not your father’s or sister’s, we serve you, Prince Zuko.”
The hug didn’t end for 10 minutes and the time they separated Jee’s shoulder was wet with tears where Zuko had buried his head.
“I promise you, Lieutenant, I will be a better leader, I will become someone you are proud to follow.”
“You already are, Sir.”
Less than a month later, Jee and the crew were with Zhao and Zuko would deny to the end of his days he missed them.

Summary
It’s Fire Nation tradition for one’s family to vet their child’s suitors before allowing them to begin a courtship.
Uncle finds out that Sokka’s been courting Zuko.
Busy with matters in Ba Sing Se, he sends a representative in his stead.
He sends Toph.
Sokka really, really wants to take Zuko out on a date, so it’d be really, really awesome if Toph would stop making it so difficult for him.

Summary
“Sokka…” She sighs. “What do you remember?”
He shrugs nonchalantly. “Some assholes attacked us and I took an arrow to the shoulder. Zuko hid us out in a cave. I assume at some point we were rescued. That or I’m dead and this is a not very interesting version of the spirit realm.”
Katara smooths his hair back like mom used to, and he’s struck suddenly by how grown up she is. They’ve both become adults since their world-saving adventures with the avatar, but it’s easy to forget that his little sister isn’t so little anymore.
“You were bleeding out, and we weren’t expecting you back for a while, so… Zuko used firebending to cauterize the wound. It saved your life, but he’s not taking it well.” She looks away from him and Sokka is silently grateful. He doesn’t want her to see the blood drain from his face at her words.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or what happens when Zuko is forced to use his bending in the one way he swore he never would.

Summary
"I'm okay, Sokka, throw up all you need to. We're both off work today, let me take care of you for the day, and hopefully you'll be feeling better tomorrow."
"I wanna feel better now, I just got done puking and all I can think about right now is how badly I want some stewed sea prunes and glazed donuts, maybe not together though, although they might be good together."
--
"Think of anything else you need?" Zuko stands in the doorway, leaning against the frame."Uh, actually yeah."
After a long moment Zuko says, "Did you want to share what that is or do you want me to guess?"
"Apregnancytest." Sokka mumbles, words all mashed together.
"Wanna repeat that for me? I didn't quite catch it."
"Popcorn shrimp."
"That's absolutely not what you said, baby."

"But-"
"No, Zuko, no buts. I came to the fire nation as an advisor but it wasn't because my dad wanted me to come, I brought it up, I offered to come because I wanted to see you. I know I should've sent a letter asking if you'd even want to see me but I was afraid you would say no."
"I would've said no if you asked." Zuko admits.
"I'm glad I didn't ask then."
