Summary
[Sokka is five when the first mark appears.
It writes itself in a deep red like a wound, as if someone had carved the word “nonbender” in a messy font across the knuckles of his left hand, as if it was handwritten with a knife.
When he asks his mother, as she applies salve on Sokka’s knuckles, she sighs deeply and says nothing for a few moments.
“Sometimes, spirits don’t make much sense.”
Sokka has yet to turn thirteen when he wakes up screaming in pain, about ten soulmarks all over each other between his left shoulder and his ear, red and vivid like burning flesh. Among the few words that are somehow possible to read out of the disastrous scribbling, “disrespectful” and “coward” and “burned” and “sorry sorry sorry” are the ones that stand out the most to Sokka. He thinks, at the tender age of twelve, whoever did this to his soulmate will be sorry too, one day.
A month after Hakoda leaves him with the job of the protector at the age of thirteen, Sokka realizes, with a bitter taste in his mouth, that he’s got more soulmarks than his entire village combined.]
Or, to have a soulmark is to carry the vilest things that your soulmate believes about themselves on your skin.

Summary
“It would only be temporary,” Ikem assures.
He says it so casually, as though taking care of a child wouldn’t uproot Zuko’s life completely. As though it’s just a simple favor and not something that Zuko could fuck up in so many different ways.
or: sometimes a family is you, your boyfriend, and your long-lost half sister

Summary
Sokka has been an unfortunate victim to many uncomfortable realizations in his life.
When he was sixteen it went like this: the deranged, reckless, fire-breathing prince that chased them across half the world was (as little as Sokka wanted to admit it at the time) actually kind of cool. Now, he’s twenty one, sparring across from that same prince (now a king) in a small courtyard at the heart of the Fire Nation, and he realizes that not only is the Fire Lord actually kind of cool– he’s also really pretty.
OR
After the war, Sokka goes to the Southern Water Tribe to help his people rebuild. Five years later, he accepts the role of ambassador to the Fire Nation and returns to a city and a man that are almost unrecognizable.

Summary
Sokka's always had more soulpains than anyone else he's known, and all he can do is hope the war ends soon.
"Things may well get worse for you both before they get better," Aunt Wu continues. "But your soulmate is coming closer, is chasing your fate together, and will find you soon enough."

gravity (and other forces not to be trifled with) by SyciaraLynx
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
14 Aug 2024
Tags
Summary
Sokka raises a brow as he takes in Zuko’s clearly run down appearance, head cocking in that irritating, knowing way of his. “Well I was planning to cuff you upside the head in front of all these people. But it looks like life has already done that for me.”
Zuko’s brow pinches, chest tightening at the frustrated tone he is treated to. “Are you mad at me for something?”
If anything, Sokka looks even more aggrieved. “Oh, I don’t know, it’s almost as if I received several letters from your council, and one very pointed one from your Uncle about this event.” His arms cross, and Zuko takes a deep breath to avoid staring at how his robes loosen in the front with the movement, splaying wider beneath the tension of his forearms. “I sure loved hearing from everyone but you that a search for the Firelord’s future spouse was happening.”
Or: Zuko is pressured into finding a spouse, and Sokka shows up to smack some sense into him (and get dicked down, nasty style)

"'Aren’t you…' Sokka narrowed his eyes. 'Aren’t you gonna tell anyone I’m here?'
Zuko tilted his head again. 'No. Why would I?'
'Because I’m an intruder!' Sokka exclaimed as he waved his hands around. 'You should be worried about me!'
'I’m not worried about you. You seem fine to me.'"
The one in which a ten-year-old Sokka tries to take a Fire Nation outpost, and Zuko couldn't care less.

Summary
[There are rules for sleeping with Zuko.
Sokka realizes that fact before he even starts doing it, back in those late days of the war when Zuko catches sight of the fresh bruise blooming over Sokka’s cheek one morning and teases him about getting distracted sparring with Suki, and Sokka doesn’t know how to say that actually, Zuko fell asleep by the fire last night and the reason Zuko woke up there too is because when Sokka tried to shift him to his bedroll, Zuko kicked him in the face in his sleep.]
Or,
From avoiding bodily injury to getting him to fall asleep in an actual bed, there are rules for sleeping with Zuko. Sokka might just find his way to learning them all.

Summary
They hadn’t known Lava Springs Country Club was owned by the uncle of Drama Queen and her hench-brother until they arrived this morning and Azula was immediately peacocking, alternating between smirking at Katara and glaring at the rest of them: Sokka, the other East High first-liners, Teo, and Yue.
There’d been a whole thing, this past semester: Katara instantly being weirdly attached to the new student, Yue, and then coming out as a musical theater performer. Stuff happened, the hockey team and the drama department almost drove their entire high school to a civil war, then stuff got resolved, and Katara and Yue starred in the spring musical. Hakoda cried happy tears at his daughter opening up a new aspect of herself.
Sokka’s loose on the details; he mostly kept his head down and concentrated on hockey, because he’s always been an athlete and will forever be an athlete. What can he say? He’s a simple guy.

Summary
He hummed, brushing his hair back again- the touch was unbearably gentle, and Sokka longed to ask what it meant. “Would it help if I stayed with you?”
“Yes,” Sokka said immediately- he didn’t need to think to know that having Zuko at his side the rest of the night would help. It always did.
or,
Sokka's chronic pain wakes him up in the middle of the night, and Zuko is there to help... If only he knew Sokka was in love with him.

A Brief Essay on Lemons and Lemonade by TheRoseBlush
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
19 Mar 2021
Tags
Summary
He doesn’t need to justify his pain. That’s something he’s learned, recently. It wasn’t a sudden moment of clarity, but an unlearning of what he’d been raised to believe. There isn’t always a reason, there isn’t always an ultimate force acting behind something. Sometimes, you just get handed a lemon by life and you realize lemons just… kind of suck.

the wind is soft above (the shadows umber) by xseelenfrieden
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
18 Mar 2021
Tags
Summary
And there he was, right in the middle of the grass.
Zuko just seemed to stand there, smiling and admiring the moon and the stars above him and sometimes letting out a long sigh. The pale light of the moon and the absence of any fire whatsoever almost made him look otherworldly, like a spirit that was just on a visit to their world. It was still summer, so the night was almost as hot as the day, but the wind that swept through the trees was fresh and made the hairs on Sokka's bare arms suddenly stand up.
(...)
He felt himself being drawn to staring into those eyes, that with each second seemed to dilate more. They were so unbelievable beautiful, Sokka thought. Like a raging fire, like Agni himself, as if he had chosen to leave the sky and settle into the eyes of the man on top of him. And Sokka might have hit his head way harder than expected, because they seemed to be getting closer, and closer, and...
Oh.
xxx
Five times Zuko fell asleep on Sokka and one time Zuko helped Sokka fall asleep.

[I’m not looking to fuck right now, but my bathroom sink is currently flooding the bathroom
I know it’s kind of random, but can I borrow a flathead screwdriver by any chance?
I don’t really know my neighbors and you’re the closest person to me on grindr
That’s…yeah, that’s new. Sokka flicks quickly through the profile, trying to decide if it’s a joke or some slang, or a reference he’s missed and finally shrugging, because,
Yeah, he types out, why not]
OR,
Sokka has a new neighbor who needs some plumbing help. A lot of plumbing help, as it turns out.
If only he could figure out if that was a euphemism.

Summary
Sokka blinks. Why is Azula calling him in the middle of a weekday? “Hello?” he answers.
“You need to go to the hospital.”
Azula, the queen of without preamble. Sokka’s used it, but that doesn’t mean he’s not wary of it. “Why? What do you know that I don’t?”
She sniffs. It isn’t her usual sharp sniff of disdain. “I’m in Tokyo, and Mai and Ty Lee are in Beijing,” she explains.
Sokka’s stomach drops. Azula never gives context for her demands. “What happened?” he asks, dread clawing at the back of his throat.
—————
Zuko has an accident, and Sokka’s the only person left in this perpetually rainy city who can help him recover.

Summary
He takes a deep breath and sets his brush down, then turns so he can look at Zuko face-to-face. “Zuko, you know I—” the words get caught in his throat. He doesn’t even really know what he wants to say. Should he be offering a confession in case something goes wrong, or is that tempting fate? Does he even have anything left to say that Zuko hasn’t already heard? “I want this,” he gestures between them, “to last for…for a long time.”
It’s nothing they haven’t said before, but it holds a different weight now.
or: zuko helps sokka finish getting ready for a dangerous mission
