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.

And that missing piece, the piece that connected the jealousy, the embarrassment, and the laughter, the way he missed Octavius when he wasn’t there, the warm feeling in his stomach, the memories of touch, the thrill of their fights, the longing, that ever present, undeniable longing -

“Me?” the other man said, turning slowly on his heel. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets and a smarmy look on his awfully familiar face. "Name’s Jedediah."
“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” Jedediah said, and he turned tail and walked out.
A little addition to the West causes some big trouble.

Summary
He doesn't always remember at the same time. Sometimes he's well into that particular reset, or sometimes he's just always known.
But the one thing that remains is that the second it all comes rushing out to him, he goes out and finds at least someone else to try and make them remember. At least, most of the time he tries.

Summary
Soulmarks mean that you care about someone, and that someone cares about you.
Born without a soulmark, Grif does not care about anyone or anything.
It doesn't bother him - after all, if you can't care enough for it to matter, you don't give a shit.
But with time (and a maroon teammate) it becomes harder not to try to care.

Being a mage, Simmons is not used to being trusted. But tasked with studying a magical orb, he now has a chance to prove his worth.
He is thankful for that, of course.
The problem is just that Grand Duke Genkins has too many secrets to make the task easy - one of them being a lazy Qunari that has the audacity to break Simmons' concentration.
