Summary
Of all the places he could have walked into--of all the tea shops in Ba Sing Se--(of which there are many)--he had chosen the one that Prince-fucking-Zuko worked at.
Or: Early on during his time in Ba Sing Se, Sokka stops for a cup of tea. This small action changes everything.

Summary
"The thing is, we live dangerous lives," Sokka says. "You’re alive right now, and thank every goddamn spirit in existence for that. But we don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. We just don’t. It could be you. Or it could be me. And then all of this would just be over. And Zuko, I don’t think I could live with myself, here or in the afterlife, if that happened and you didn’t know how I feel about you.”
Sokka invites Zuko to his tent to talk. Inspired by this fanart by ponury-grajek on tumblr.

Summary
The spirits can provide guidance for many things. In the Southern Water Tribe, it is traditional for those who near adulthood to ask the spirits to guide them to their soulmates, someone whose spirit completes their own.
Sokka doesn't believe in any of this spirit mumbo-jumbo, but spirit mumbo-jumbo has a habit of finding him, anyway.- Language:

Summary
Sokka is asked to go to the Fire Nation to teach the crown prince how to sword fight. When he arrives, he's surprised to learn he has to pose as a companion before he can teach the stubborn prince because he rejects every teacher. Far from home and among new customs, Sokka struggles to gain the prince's trust and friendship despite the uncertainties of the customs and dynamics he sees. As he slowly finds answers to his questions, his bond with the prince grows until it becomes something far more ardent than friendship. Doomed as it may be with the prince's approaching wedding ceremony and coronation, Sokka and Zuko find themselves consumed by what they find in each other.
