Summary
Sokka sighs, folds his arms so he can rest his chin on them. “Aang?”
“Mhm?”
“Can you Google—listen closely, this exact wording—how to get over your dream woman who is also the love of your life when it’s been three months but you’re still hung up on her and now she lives next door so she’s virtually inescapable and there’s no way to get her back ‘cos she’s dating your ex and is definitely not into you?”
-
Sokka was dumped by Suki. But they're still friends! And it's fine, he's fine. She's now dating his other ex, which is also just dandy. But really, Sokka's not fine, and while he might as well spend his last year of college pining after Suki, he'll be damned if she—or anyone else—knows that. Enter Zuko.

Summary
Sokka looked around the throne room with interest. “I always wondered what the world was like from up here - must be nice looking out at your adoring subjects.”
“Being the Fire Lord is pretty dull,” Zuko said glumly, "unless you enjoy hearing people bicker about taxes. After a while, thwarting the occasional assassination is basically a form of stress relief."
In which Fire Lord Zuko and Ambassador Sokka get drunk, go fishing, watch theatre, uncover a conspiracy, visit a teahouse, destroy a historical monument, and reckon with the painful legacy of the past – but not necessarily in that order. [PODFIC AVAILABLE]

Iroh insists they create a new life and identity in Ba Sing Se. Zuko wants nothing more than to bide his time until his next opportunity to return home, until he realizes ‘Lee’ can get away with things Zuko never could.
Zuko dons the mantle of the Blue Spirit again only to lose his focus when the Avatar comes to the city. This time, however, his attention is drawn to the annoying Southern Tribe warrior.- Language:

Summary
Zuko is courting Katara, and with every passing day finds new and insane ways of showing that he would quite literally move the spirit world and earth to make her happy.
In hindsight, it probably would've been better if Sokka had realised he was in love with Zuko at literally any time before this. Or preferably, never fallen for his best friend in the first place.

Summary
Zuko doesn’t have time to deal with pressure for an arranged marriage, especially since he isn’t even sure he likes women that way. (A realisation that has absolutely nothing to do with Ambassador Sokka - shut up, Suki.) Katara and Aang have broken up again, and the Northern Water Tribe are pushing for a match between the North and South.
Which leads Zuko and Katara to develop a genius, foolproof, only slightly drunken plan: they can pretend to date for the length of Katara’s stay in the palace, giving them both a brief reprieve from political pressures on their love lives.
What could go wrong?

Summary
"I hate your dad so much,” Sokka considers for a second. He tries to mix it up as often as he can when they play this game. “That I have considered starting an official petition begging Aang to reconsider his commitment to nonviolence.”
It’s quiet for a beat. He’s afraid he’s miscalculated, but Zuko laughs, broken and sincere.
(Or: 5, 8, 15 years after the war, Sokka talks shit about Ozai.)

Sokka should have drowned… and he would have drowned, if not for a certain Fire Nation raft fleeing the North Pole.

Summary
"I care about my baby brother," Osamu says, grinning, despite Atsumu's usual protests that he's not a fucking baby, "and I wanna make sure no one from the big city is sending him lewd materials and trying to corrupt a little country boy."
"We live in an apartment building and there are three konbini in walking distance, this ain't the boonies."
"Tiny little country mouse," Osamu sings, tearing open the envelope to reveal— "what the fuck is this."
You're on my shit list reads the card on the table, and Atsumu grabs it before Osamu can make an attempt for it.
"I can't believe he has more of these."
"More of them- what? Is this an ongoin’ thing? How long have ya been engaged in correspondence with this bastard?"
"Stop makin' correspondence sound like a dirty word, 'Samu, I ain't a Victorian maiden."
---
Five times Atsumu made it onto Kiyoomi's Shit List, and one time he stayed there.

Summary
In Zuko’s strict family, needing a tutor is just about the worst thing you could do. Failing a class, however, is even worse. The only rational solution? Take up Aang on his offer to find him a physics tutor and have Sokka—beautiful, smart, handsome Sokka—tutor him in secret.
When Azula’s arrival threatens to reveal Zuko’s secret, it’s up to Sokka to convince her this definitely isn’t what it looks like. See, he’s actually… Zuko’s… boyfriend?
Hmm. There’s no way this could get complicated, right?

“Could you hand this to Reo for me?” the girl asks.
Something twists in Nagi’s stomach. That’s funny—he doesn’t think he ate anything unusual today.
“Do it yourself,” he says.
(Or, today is Valentine’s Day and girls are lining up to give Reo chocolates.)

In their defense, they thought it was pretty obvious.
The Kingdom of Science may have maxed out their Intelligence stat; but, they rolled a 1 on Perception. Or, in other words, they might not have noticed the change in relationship between one scientist and one mentalist.
Sure, they could just tell them. But, where would be the fun in that?

Summary
Senku and Gen have never had to pay much mind to their endotypes. With weak senses and weak pheromones, the usual pitfalls never really applied to them, which they both gladly exploited. Perhaps that made them a little naïve when it came to their own biology, but, in their opinions, it was well worth the trade-off.
Then they met each other.

Summary
They didn’t talk about the football game. Not the bomb, or the kiss, or the fact that they fucking massacred a football team. And yeah, Hazel knew it was self-defense - as did the judge who didn’t really seem to believe that a gaggle of teenage lesbians and their miscellaneous straight girl sidekicks actually murdered people - but the eerie silence that trailed after her every time she walked down the hallway was starting to drive her crazy.
And then, about two weeks after the game, PJ showed up at her house in the middle of the night and didn’t say a single word before kissing her, and they didn’t talk about that either. Hazel, the fucking idiot that she was, just let it happen. Every time PJ texted that she was at the front door - or, in a genuine feat of athleticism, crawled in through her second-floor bedroom window - Hazel would just smile in spite of herself and kiss her hard enough to bruise.
It worked for them. It was fine.
OR: Hazel and PJ manage to make fame a competition.
