Summary
Inspired by tumblr and "The Swan Princess:"
--
If you asked Zuko, he and Azula saw far too much of Chief Hakoda of the Northern Water Tribe’s children growing up. It wasn’t until they were older, and Azula pointed out that - duh - their families were trying to set them all up, that he realized why.
He was told by his mother to be polite. These people were their friends and allies, and though their nations were as different as they came, harmony between nations was the most important thing.
It wasn’t his fault the Chief’s children were so annoying.

Summary
At Sokka’s behest, the Gaang skips rescuing Zuko during the Siege at the North Pole. Instead they leave him, unconscious, buried in the snow.
In completely unrelated news, Sokka’s haunted by a ghost now.

Summary
Zuko narrows his eyes back at him, and he doesn’t even try to tamp down the open taunt in his toothy grin. “Can’t blame me that you make me lose my mind enough to start shouting.”
“Sometimes I think you try to make your voice echo on purpose,” Sokka snarks back in amusement, but then his lips purse together in silent consideration, and he sighs. “I suppose I’m not…exactly practiced at it,” he says carefully, and if it were any other situation Zuko would snort at the vaguely disgruntled look on his face at admitting his novice in something.
“If I’m bad at it, you can’t make fun of me.”

or: Zuko wants to hear Sokka in bed. Really hear him. Sokka figures he's willing to try.Bookmarked by ijustwant2befree

Summary
Eventually, Zuko realizes that Sokka searches for ways to let his hands linger—and he gives Sokka every opportunity he can, until they're standing on the precipice of naming what they are, and what all of their gentle touches really mean.
All they need, it turns out, is a ruined tassel, some yarn, and an excuse for Sokka to reach out to Zuko's hair, yet again.
--
He sighs, and very nearly misses it when Sokka softly asks, “helping?”Zuko can only bring himself to languidly nod, and savor the feeling of being so fully held.

Summary
“You’re not carrying me.”
“I don’t mind,” the lifeguard says easily.
“I can just hop over.”
“On sand?”
Zuko will never admit it, but being carried feels pretty nice. The lifeguard sets him down and eyes him warily.
“Are you really all by yourself?” he asks in a worried tone. “No friends in town you can call to check on you?”
“No,” Zuko confirms. Tears are forming again with alarming speed; his foot throbs painfully with every passing second.
“What kind of burrito do you want?”
“You don’t have to —“ Zuko repeats.
“I’m getting al pastor. You like al pastor?”
AU: Zuko falls for Sokka, the super hot lifeguard who helps him after an unfortunate encounter with a stingray.
