Summary
It's been eight months since the start of the zombie apocalypse. It's been seven months and three weeks since the phone lines went down, and it's been exactly three days since Sokka stopped waiting for Katara to come home.
Going on the world's vaguest lead, Sokka has set off on a journey across the country to find his sister. Travelling at the end of the world is awful, and he finds himself struggling to fight off both the undead and the decline of his physical and mental wellbeing.
He needn't have bothered, though. It's been three hours since he met Zuko, and the dude is driving him insane.

Summary
“Will…” Sokka trails off before clearly steeling himself. “Will your dad be mad? Like, if we get a bad mark?”
Zuko freezes, noticeably so. From hearing about Sokka’s dad and how understanding he can be, Zuko’s not too sure how to play this. He could be honest that, yes, his dad will be furious to see a B, but that will undoubtedly upset Sokka.
“I just don’t want to disappoint him,” Zuko tries. “He’s done a lot for me and I want to prove this school wasn’t a mistake.”
Sokka nods, expression bare. “That’s tough, dude. I’m sure he’ll be proud no matter what, though. You’ve really been applying yourself.”
Zuko smiles lightly, pushing away memories of heat against his cheek. “Yeah, hopefully he will be.”
OR
When Ozai discovers Zuko is gay, he sends him to a boarding school, one meant for children of politicians and soldiers, not business moguls. Despite his rocky place in this new school, with distance from Ozai, Zuko grows and realizes just how much he needs to hide what happens during his trips home. Sokka sees more of this than Zuko wants.

Summary
Chief Arnook never assigns Sokka to protect Princess Yue, so he goes to fight the Fire Nation with the other men. When the moon dies and the ocean spirit takes its revenge, Sokka is caught standing on the deck of a Fire Nation ship. Sokka should have drowned… and he would have drowned, if not for a certain Fire Nation raft fleeing the North Pole.
[An enemies-to-lovers season 2 rewrite, where Sokka is separated from the gaang during the Siege of the North, and travels the Earth Kingdom with Zuko instead].

Summary
"Azula’s answering grin is bitter and horrible and broken as she leans in close to Aang’s face and says, ‘Listen Avatar, I can either join your group, or I’ll do something unspeakably horrible to your friends. Your choice.’”
OR: After Zhao’s failed siege, Zuko and Iroh are captured. A few weeks later, Ozai receives a ransom from the Northern Water Tribe signed in Zuko’s blood. Unfortunately for the Firelord, Zuko’s safety is all Azula cares about.
OR: Unfortunately for Sokka, that means the Gaang has not one, but two unstable, broken fire siblings to deal with. Y’know. Once they break Zuko out of prison. Because this is not a situation that calls for torture (probably. HE'S still on the fence about it, screw Aang and Katara and their stupid morals and how much he agrees with them)

Summary
Book one ends with two major diffrences: 1. Sokka went on the mission with Hahn (it did not go well) 2. Zhao survives the North Pole and that proves unfortunate for everybody (except Zhao, obviously)
Imprisoned on Zhao’s war ship, Sokka and Zuko have to work together to survive. They are not very enthusiastic about this prospect.
And they argue.
A lot.
