    Summary

    “How many catowls do you have to see to think it’s strange? Before you’d notice something was wrong?”

    It had taken Zuko all of two seconds to come up with his answer, a scowl on his face and fists clenched at his sides.

    “One. Catowls aren’t native to the Fire Nation: only the Earth Kingdom.”

    In the moment, Zuko was so sure and so strong-willed that it only made sense. But he was wrong.

    The answer was three catowls. The first wouldn’t seem real. After all, he’d never seen it before, so it was probably a fluke. The second would be real, sure, but he’d assume that would be the first catowl, and would think that maybe it was migrating. The third catowl would finally tip him over the edge. Because catowls didn’t travel in threes.

    There was only one eclipse. Somehow, he had lived three others in the last few days.

    The question was, Why?  What did the spirits want him to do?

    Summary

    "It's just two years, Sokka. Two years and I'm free."
    ---
    The ice has been Sokka's life for as long as he can remember. Learning to skate at his family's rink preceded learning to walk. The rink has been his safe place through everything; an ADHD diagnoses, an injury in his favorite sport, the death of his mom and his first girlfriend, and a myriad of mental health issues stemming from all of those things. If only he didn't have to share it with the stuck up rich kid that just moved into town. The rink needs the money Zuko's family brings in from renting it four days out of the week, but Sokka's not sure he can last dealing with the high demands of a professional figure skater.

    (Or: Zuko is a professional figure skater with expectations he can never live up to and Sokka is a college hockey player who really wishes the guy constantly getting on his nerves wasn't so gorgeous.)

    Summary

    It's his final year of university and Sokka doesn't have the time to be distracted by the stranger living next door- by his startlingly gorgeous eyes and awkward conversation and the way he always seems to be hiding something- yet for some reason, Sokka can't bring himself to look away.

    alternatively-

    The balcony at Sokka's new apartment is way too close to his neighbors', and he notices far more than people give him credit for.
