Summary
“Go on then,” stupid Zuko challenged, even as his voice cracked, because he was an idiot Fire Lord who didn’t know when to shut up, and Sokka liked that undying fiery streak but also wanted to kill him a million times when they get out of this-
But all thoughts of throttling Zuko himself came to a halt because because Tezuka was smiling with perverse affection, then he was gripping Zuko’s face with one hand---
--lifting a burning palm in the other, and then--
--Zuko was shrieking, his voice high and terrified and so damn young --
--Sokka shouted, shouted because he was so useless --
Or,
Sokka and Azula bond over their mutual desire to keep Fire Lord Zuko alive. Post-canon.

Summary
After years of his Uncle begging, Zuko finally agreed to start attending group therapy sessions. The night he got his scar has crept into his dreams and he just wants to sleep through the night again. All he expected to get out of the program is the resolvement of the trauma he experienced five years ago and coping mechanisms for all the anxiety that followed. Friends were at the very bottom of his list of things he wanted to find in therapy. But life is a funny thing. You never know how it’s going to turn out.
Modern American High School AU where the gAang meets at group therapy and slowly become friends/build their own little family through a series of adventures. Follows a lot of themes/events from the animated series, but adapts them to our world. It’s like a medium-burn platonic story with a bit of magical realism.

Summary
“But you just said honor is about doing what’s right. You must have known that wasn’t right,” Sokka presses.
There’s a long moment of silence. Then, “I knew it didn’t feel right. But I always told myself that if I knew the first thing about honor, I would still be home.”
“I don’t understand."
“I didn’t, either,” Zuko sighs.
~
Of course Sokka has seen the scar. It’s kind of hard to miss.
…It just hadn’t occurred to him that it meant anything.

Defeating the Fire Lord does not equal defeating the Fire Nation and ending the war.
Sometimes the GAang forgets this. Zuko does not.

Summary
Zuko gets hurt during training but insists that he's fine. However, the new angle of his nose - and the honestly impressive amount of blood streaming from it - tell a very different story. So when he runs off, refusing Katara's help, it's Sokka who follows. Because Sokka and Zuko talk sometimes. And Sokka gets a fuzzy feeling in his stomach when they're alone sometimes. So, since they're somewhat close, it stands to reason that he can change his mind somehow.
When Zuko actually opens up to him, Sokka is trapped between the fuzzy feeling of being trusted and the nausea of cold hard realization - because Zuko's refusal to get his nose fixed has everything to do with the mysterious scar covering a third of his face.

Summary
Something's been bothering Zuko all day, and nobody knew what to do to get him to open up to them about it. Taking a page from the Water Tribe's traditions, the Gaang decides to share stories around a campfire to get him to open up.
In retrospect, they probably should've thought a bit more about what they were getting themselves into.
