Summary
“Sokka?” Zuko’s voice is quiet and raspy as he shifts just enough that Sokka lifts his head up from Zuko’s shoulder. The confession Sokka had ready to go dies on his lips at Zuko’s expression - at the red he can just barely make out in Zuko’s eyes. “Sokka, I… need to tell you something.”
Sokka swallows and nods silently, not trusting his own admission to not slip out if he dares to open his mouth. Zuko must be confessing the same thing Sokka wants to. Which, admittedly, Sokka hadn’t actually planned for, but it’s fine. He can adapt to this. He just needs to shift a few words around in his brain, and--
“You’re my best friend, you know that right?”
And why does Zuko’s tone make this sound like a break up?
OR
sokka and zuko break up, make up, go undercover, thwart a rebellion, watch the sunrise, and change the course of fire nation history. not necessarily in that order.

tattoo the spaces between your fingers into mine by SmileHoney

Summary
Because suddenly, it all made sense- he was wearing a rainbow friendship bracelet, holding another guy’s hand, talking about the apartment they lived in together and the cat they shared, and the tattoo artist thought they were-
“So, are you guys close?” Suki’s voice was nonchalant, as if she was just asking about the weather and not if they were dating, but it still sounded like a death sentence to him.
Especially when Sokka- a genius with degrees in both astrophysics and aerospace engineering, as well as minors in math and chemistry- completely missed the unspoken question and responded easily, as if it was nothing, “Yeah, of course we are. That’s why I asked him to come.”
or
Sokka learns that rib tattoos hurt, a lot. Luckily, Zuko is there to hold his hand. The only problem is that the tattoo artist thinks they're dating, when they very much aren't.

Maybe Aang was onto something when he said dancing was always a good idea. For instance, it could lead to your first kiss with your best friend who you are very much in love with.

Summary
It’s not that Patroclus somehow has not noticed that his new favorite coffee shop seemed to only hire possible models, but, well. There’s a thin line between noticing and admiring a person’s looks and being creepy about it.
(aka the very, very cliche coffee shop au.)

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?

Summary
With his twenty-first birthday looming just around the corner, the Southern Water Tribe Elders have decided that Sokka, next in line to be Chief, needs to get married. Sokka does not want that, but he does need to get them off his back until he can figure his way out of it. What better way to do that than to pretend to date his best friend (and newly minted Ambassador to the Southern Water Tribe) Zuko?
Seriously, this is a foolproof plan. Maybe one of Sokka's best. Absolutely nothing can go wrong.

Yeah, attending university via Zoom sucks. But it sucks a little bit less when Sokka gets to stare endlessly at the pretty boy with the cool swords and the cute cats without him ever even knowing.
Or,
Sokka and Zuko "meet" in Zoom class. Flirtatious shenanigans ensue.

Summary
Katara was tired of not being able to waterbend, Sokka got that okay? He really did, but that didn't mean she had to leave as early as she could to go loot an abandoned castle. Sokka worried and she knew that. But she also knew he wouldn't intervene on this.
Maybe he should have.

Summary
(Alternately titled "SOMEONE GIVE LIAM A HUG" or "Stronk Farm Boyfriends")
Liam's just finishing up vet school, and he's a month shy of achieving the thing he's been working for since he was a kid. When he gets called out to a farm to witness a calf birth and notices something wrong, under-researched, and curable, it's the perfect thing to treat and document so he can write a paper that will jump-start his career. Of course, the fact that the calf is owned by a cute dairy farmer doesn't hurt, either.

Summary
Under the leadership of Fire Lord Iroh, the Fire Nation has made every attempt to restore peace and make amends for the harm they inflicted during the Seventy-Year War. Their newest proposal is a literal proposal: a marriage to unite the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes.
The Fire Nation offers Prince Zuko’s hand.
The Water Tribes offer Princess Yue’s.
Sokka is apparently the only person in the world who has a problem with any of this.

Summary
When Sokka was ten, he didn't want to believe in soulmates.
If the Spirits were in charge of soulmates, then he didn’t want one. They took his mother from him, so they must have hated him. They’ll give him a bad soulmate.
He told his father this much, and Hakoda chuckled, pulling his son in closer. “The Spirits, Sokka, are mysterious things. They have a plan for each and every one of us. Mine involved your mother, and your’s will involve a soulmate as well."
“Thanks, Dad.” Sokka yawned, snuggling closer to his father.
---
When Zuko was ten, he prayed to the Spirits for a soulmate.He wanted so badly for someone to understand his pain, wanted someone to listen to him when he told funny stories that he made up, wanted someone who would love him for who he was.
He told his mother this much, and she smiled down at him, hauling her up into her lap. "The Spirits have blessed you already, my dear. Everyone will get a soulmate, but you have to understand that as a prince of the Fire Nation, your duties to the nation will always come first. Promise me you'll never forget that."
"I promise, Mom." he said, before bounding out of her lap and off towards the turtleduck pond.

Summary
“I’m literally the Fire Lord. I could buy you the clothing store itself and it would barely make a dent in my finances. Don’t worry about the expense of a simple set of robes,” Zuko brushed off Sokka’s concerns. He didn’t want to make the man uncomfortable with his gifts.
“That’s irresponsible and a complete humble brag but, touché,” Sokka said and the thought seemed to relax him.
“Besides, I like buying things for the people I care about.”
Zuko wasn’t sure if he was imagining the faint blush on Sokka’s cheeks or if it was from the glow of the candles on his friend’s face. He didn’t have long to try to decipher before Sokka was jumping into action.
“I’m going to put these on right now!” Sokka said excitedly.
And then proceed to strip down to his skivvies in Zuko’s bedroom.

Summary
The Fire Nation's royal accountant lunges towards Zuko, brandishing a stack of receipts like a shield. “I’m referring to the flowers you bought him.”
“That was a matter of cultural exchange."
“What about the jewelry?”
“That wasn’t jewelry, it was just gem-enhanced accessories!”
"But you ordered him five sets of custom nightclothes!”
(For some reason, the whole world's convinced that Zuko is Sokka's sugar daddy.)

Summary
Zuko almost said it. He almost said the words I think I’m in love with you, but he choked them back down at the last second.
Zuko would never be able to be what Sokka wanted. They might have needed each other during the summer, when two boys with too much weight on their shoulders found comfort in each other in the only way they knew how.
But now Zuko was Fire Lord, and Sokka was leaving.
Or, a self indulgent Ambassador Sokka & Fire Lord Zuko fic set to the tune of ‘peace’ by Taylor Swift.

Summary
Sokka felt his gaze being drawn back to the table – back to the boy. He was staring back with an odd expression that Sokka couldn’t explain – he seemed simultaneously curious and frustrated.
Sokka dropped his eyes and asked the table, “Which one is the boy with the black hair and the scar?”
“That’s Zuko,” Suki said, and Sokka felt an inexplicable warmth in his stomach at learning his name. “Totally gorgeous – the straight girls here are all in love with him. Total waste of their time though, he doesn’t date.”
Sokka laughed at that and then, without thinking, glanced back over at the boy – at Zuko. He had turned his face away, but Sokka swore he was smiling too.

Summary
Prompt: AU where everything is the same, except everyone is born with a insignia, a mark that is unique to only two people in the world, that tells them who their soulmate is. Usually the two people are born on the same day, at the same time, but that doesn’t mean that aren’t circumstances where an age difference has happened.
Leonard McCoy was born without an insignia, only for one to appear on his 20th birthday. He always hated the idea that the one person he was supposed to be with being a child, and maybe that was why he married his high school sweetheart. And maybe, that was the fact their relationship fell apart six years later, and he made the choice to join Starfleet.
He had never really forgotten about his supposed soulmate, but it certainly wasn’t expected to be confronted with the seventeen year old Russian genius whose insignia, his insignia, their insignia, plastered so obviously on his neck…
I tweaked it just a little, but it's essentially that. Hope I didn't butcher the idea!
