Summary
Sokka has never been into other alphas. He's always gone for soft, feminine betas and omegas like Suki and Yue.
But when Fire Lord Zuko, the alpha of alphas, finds himself divorced, heirless and cornered by enemies in his own court, he decides to ask his old friend to help him fix the succession problem. By letting Sokka fuck his alpha body into an omega's and breed a Fire Nation heir into him.
What can Sokka say? He's a giver.

Summary
Soulmates are chosen by the spirits and can hear each other’s thoughts. Sokka thinks it’s cheesy and dumb. Zuko thinks it’s poetic justice that he doesn’t have one because he doesn’t deserve it. Cruel irony is finding out that the prince of the Fire Nation (and the person currently hunting you) is your soulmate.
(Set during and after the events of ATLA, and during some of the events of the comics that follow. This was an excuse to write a slow-burn where Sokka and Zuko are soulmates)

Summary
When Sokka was ten, he didn't want to believe in soulmates.
If the Spirits were in charge of soulmates, then he didn’t want one. They took his mother from him, so they must have hated him. They’ll give him a bad soulmate.
He told his father this much, and Hakoda chuckled, pulling his son in closer. “The Spirits, Sokka, are mysterious things. They have a plan for each and every one of us. Mine involved your mother, and your’s will involve a soulmate as well."
“Thanks, Dad.” Sokka yawned, snuggling closer to his father.
---
When Zuko was ten, he prayed to the Spirits for a soulmate.He wanted so badly for someone to understand his pain, wanted someone to listen to him when he told funny stories that he made up, wanted someone who would love him for who he was.
He told his mother this much, and she smiled down at him, hauling her up into her lap. "The Spirits have blessed you already, my dear. Everyone will get a soulmate, but you have to understand that as a prince of the Fire Nation, your duties to the nation will always come first. Promise me you'll never forget that."
"I promise, Mom." he said, before bounding out of her lap and off towards the turtleduck pond.

Summary
Why Zuko singled him out? Sokka doesn’t know. Every single time they run into each other, Zuko has a new weirdly personal lie to tell Sokka. He knows they aren’t soulmates, so it’s getting rude the more he does it. Sokka just doesn’t understand why his lies are so…nice.
A Soulmate AU where you can’t lie to your soulmate! The more you try to lie, the more obligated you feel to tell the truth.

Summary
It's a week into Zuko's banishment when his soulmate severs their connection. And just like he doesn't deserve to be home until he's regained his honor, he figures he doesn't deserve a soul connection, either. It's all part of the same lesson.
(Soulmate AU: When your soulmate experiences a powerful emotion, you can feel it too. At any time for any reason, though, you can sever this connection to your soulmate so neither of you feel it anymore. Only the partner who severed the connection is able to unsever it.)

So Zuko was a vampire. It’s no big deal, Sokka’s last girlfriend was a ghost. He can get behind a few (love) bites.

Summary
“Craig Tucker,” the man introduced himself, his voice professional and his expression impossible to read. “I’m your physical therapist.”
Oh.
Oh, shit.
That was not what Tweek had been expecting.
After all the hype Bebe had given him, he’d prepared himself for someone attractive enough. He’d pictured someone along the lines of a Matt Damon type—good-looking, sure, but in a normal, approachable way (no offense, Matt Damon). Maybe a little older, with a few graying hairs and an aura that came with years of experience.
Not… this.
Not someone who looked like they’d wandered off the set of a Calvin Klein campaign and accidentally ended up working in sports medicine.
———
OR: Tweek's new PT is unreasonably attractive.

Summary
The war has affected everyone- there's no denying it.
Even the Fire Nation Prince was affected by it.
So, when Prince Zuko found himself attending a highschool in Ba Sing Se under the name 'Lee', helping his Uncle Iroh run his new tea shop, he doesn't exactly expect to make any friends.
He definitely doesn't expect to fall head over heels for who ends up being his best friend.
And he doesn't expect said best friend to get so pissed when his real identity is revealed.Bookmarked by Basically_basil

Summary
"I'm Zuko. I provide Aang with his monstrosity of a drink every morning and give him shit for it in return."
"Sokka," he introduces with a grin and slight wave, and Zuko nods, still smiling slightly before it slips off his face. Sokka distantly wishes that he could keep it there. "Think you can hook me up with one of those monstrosities?"
Respectively, Sokka and Zuko both feel like they’ve got their last summer before adulthood relatively scoped out. Spoiler Alert: they don’t.
*Unfinished! In the process of being completed.*

Summary
Zuko’s life, when he was still performing, had been an endless stream of attractive musicians; puffed up egomaniacs who thought they were god's gift to the music industry. He thought he’d known every type of rockstar, and at the end of the day they were really all the same.
Never any drummers, though.
Never anything like Sokka.Bookmarked by Basically_basil

Summary
Noelle Holiday has everything she could possibly need. Good grades, good friends, she even has time to sing at gigs occasionally. What else could she possibly want?
Or at least... that's what she thinks until she manages to stumble into not one but two people she's trying to vie for the affections of. The only problem is that they're both somehow in relationships already!
Kris doesn't really know who they are. At least their roommate's... fine, and their relationship's going somewhere. They're not quite sure where yet.
Things get a lot more confusing when their childhood best friend suddenly reappears in their life.
Susie is just trying to learn how to be a good partner. She's not really sure if she's any good at it, but she hasn't been broken up with yet so she's taking her wins!
Things have gotten a little more complicated though, since this really cute girl keeps showing up at her work.
