Summary
Sokka has been hated and abused his whole life for being a firebender, so when the Fire Nation comes to abduct him, it turns out to be a blessing. Everything changes when he meets Azula. Befriending the damaged princess, Sokka will learn that his new home is not nearly as perfect as it seems.
Meanwhile, Azula has never forgotten seeing her brother Zuko get murdered by their own father. Ever since, she has done everything she could to survive, even if she hates herself for who she's become. Befriending Sokka sets her on a new path, but will she continue to obey her father, or choose to make a stand against the war?
Everyone believes Zuko is dead. Little do they know he lives, trapped in a Fire Nation prison camp. There, he will discover the true cruelty of the war and suffer in ways he never imagined. When he finally returns to the Fire Nation palace, he will have to decide whether to enjoy happiness with the people he loves, or risk everything for a chance at stopping the hundred year war.
Sokka, Azula, and Zuko have all suffered terribly, but by finding strength in each other, they have a chance at ending the war and bringing peace to the world- if only they have the courage to try.

Sokka has always been high functioning. When his mom died, he stepped up. When his dad left, he stepped up. When him and his sister found the Avatar, he stepped up.
Then… the war ended.
And everyone’s slowly finding out that, maybe, Sokka isn’t as great at dealing with things as they thought.

Summary
Sokka wraps himself around him like an octopus, pressing a kiss to the back of his neck. Zuko makes a soft sound, craning his head around so he can kiss him properly. It’s an awkward angle, but that hardly matters.
“You know,” he says, his hand settling on the dip of his waist. “We don’t have to join the Avatar if you don’t want to. We can just… become refugees.”
But Zuko shakes his head, sighing wearily. “I think you’re underestimating my father’s influence. Besides, I’m tired of living in fear. If I don’t take a stand now, I think I’ll be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life.”
And Sokka gets it, he really does, but there’s a feeling of quiet dread in the pit of his stomach that he can’t quite shake.
After the events of Flirting with the Enemy, Sokka and Zuko search for Aang and Katara. Along the way, they meet old friends and new. As they race against the clock to outsmart the Fire Lord, they may find that the biggest challenges come from unexpected places…

Summary
Seeing bloodied snow is not something strange to a child who grew up in the Southern Water Tribe. Bloodied snow meant prey, and meant warmth and full bellies. It meant safety. Or, it was what it should mean.
Because Sokka will always remember the day the black snow came, and the natural meaning of safety the red snow gave him would forever be tainted.

During one of Zuko's middle-of-the-night palace wanderings, he accidentally stumbled upon a secret passage that leads to a cell containing one very much alive Lu Ten.
That was two weeks ago. Iroh and Zuko are delighted, and Sokka is delighted that they're delighted.
Only problem is? Sokka and Lu Ten do not get along.
At all.... Until an assassination attempt comes a little too close to success, leaving Zuko badly injured.
It turns out Sokka and Lu Ten get along pretty well when they're going on a roadtrip across the Fire Nation to hunt down the person who almost killed their precious turtleduck.
