Summary
Cultural Reciprocity (n.)
The dynamic or material exchange of knowledge, values, and perspectives between two or more different cultures.“In the Southern Water Tribe,” Sokka begins in a scholarly tone—like he’s about to recite an oral history, “warriors wear wolf-tails, and keep the hair on the crown of their heads pulled back.”
“Kids and bachelors keep the sides of their hair short. Since Bato witnessed my ice-dodging ceremony when I was sixteen, I’ve been considered an adult for a while now. Growing my hair out is symbolic of maturity,” And this is where Sokka breaks eye contact with Zuko for the first time, looking back down at the table and picking up his cup of tea (iced, which he insists is a Tribe thing but still makes Zuko cringe) to cradle between his wide palms. And then he opens his mouth, and in six words freezes Zuko’s heart and rattles him down to the core—
“And of my intent to marry.”
“Marry,” Zuko repeats dumbly.A/N: This fic spends a lot of time exploring the lore of the world of A:TLA, particularly its ties to real-world Asian and Indigenous cultures. It also happens to be a love story, too.

Summary
When news of the war's end reached the South Pole it was too little too late, at least for Sokka, Katara and their family. At two years later, Kya's death still left them floundering on a cracked foundation as they struggled to cope with growing up without their mother. But the rest of the world rejoiced, and time moved on.
Then, eight years later, the Fire Nation returned to the shores of the Southern Water Tribe, this time bearing a letter from the Fire Lord himself. A request was made for an Omega of high standing to be sent back to the Fire Nation capital of Caldera with the intent of being wed to the Crown Prince. In exchange, gifts of valuable resources would be sent back to the Southern Tribe at regular intervals over the course of a several years.
The only stipulation was the Omega could not be older than the Alpha in question, and at 20 years of age, Sokka fit the criteria. When faced with the possibility of bringing his homeland prosperity for perhaps the first time in decades, well, the answer was clear. Sokka would have to swallow any distaste he still felt for the Fire Nation and allow himself to be wed to a complete stranger, thousands of miles from his home, perhaps never to return.

Summary
[Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.
“Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.
What the fuck?
“Sokka, I—”
Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.
“What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]
Or:
An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.
But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.
Yeah, nah.
