    Summary

    On days when they’re not too busy, Sokka will drag Zuko away to spar. They go to a courtyard that’s far away from everything else, they take off their bindings under their shirts, and they practice with their swords for a while. Sokka’s good, but Zuko’s better, and he almost always wins, but there are times when Sokka manages to sit astride Zuko’s chest, almost straddling his hip bones, and he’s sure that Zuko could push him off if he wanted to, but he always just freezes instead. And so Sokka cackles and grins and holds the tip of his sword a hair's breadth away from Zuko’s throat and waits for him to yield.

    Some days, though, when Zuko spends the daylight hours training Aang and sparring with Toph, while Sokka goes hunting or fishing, they don’t see each other until dinner time. On those days, Sokka will make some hollow excuse and walk with Zuko to his room, and they’ll sit back to back and drink tea until one of them either starts to fall asleep or until one of the others comes knocking.

    ~~~

    or, the story of two boys learning to be themselves, and maybe falling in love with each other along the way.

    Summary

    “I never thought I’d feel love like this, Yue,” he breathes after a moment. Hakoda’s chest aches for his son. “After- after Mom, and after you, for a while it was like the bottom just fell out from under my world. And he just makes everything right again.”

    Hakoda wants to find this boy that Sokka’s talking about, and he wants to hug him as tightly as possible. Whoever he is, he made Hakoda’s son happy again, and that makes him the perfect partner in Hakoda’s book.

    “It’s coming up on three years since we got together, y’know,” Sokka says suddenly. Hakoda chokes on his own spit.

    —-
    Or, the story of how Hakoda finds out that his son wants to marry the Firelord, via evesdropping on the moon.

    Summary

    Zuko woke and immediately realized what had happened. Sokka was still snuggled close to him underneath the pelts. Thank Agni he woke with the sunrise, he should still have time to get back to his ship before anyone-

    The flap of Sokka's tent opened with a snap.

    “Sokka, are you-” Hakoda stepped inside and looked straight at Zuko, modesty barely maintained beneath the pelts and lying damningly close to the Chief's son. Sokka stirred at the commotion and blearily lifted his head. “Huh? Dad?!”

    Zuko moved his body to block Sokka from his father's view. If one of them was to be struck, or dragged out by their hair to kneel naked in the snow in front of the whole tribe, shame on display, Zuko would rather it was himself.

     Hakoda walks in on his son after a night of pleasant company with the Fire Lord, his biggest question is simply why Sokka would hide something like this from him.

    Zuko, raised in a country where their relationship is punishable by death, deals with the fallout.

    Summary

    "I am Wan Shi Tong, He Who Knows Ten Thousand Things, and this is my library, my domain," he answered instead, "Who are you, mortal?"

    The boy hesitated but answered, "I... was Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. My... the Fire Lord has banished me, with no recourse to return."
