    Summary

    Fire Prince Zuko is meditating with his eyes closed on the floor of the Western Air Temple, and no one is attacking him, or even trying to, and it’s weird. Sokka will admit that even if no one else will.

    Or,

    Sokka makes some discoveries after Zuko joins the Gaang. Perhaps the Fire Prince has more honor than anyone had realized.

    Summary

    “My Fire Grandpa  — Fire Grandfather.” Sokka says. “He's in the palace, with Lala and my Fire Dad and Fire Mom. I don't see them very often. But they're there.”

    “Could I meet them?” asks Kya.

    Sokka thinks about it.

    “I don't think you can,” he says. “I'm not Sokka there.”

    Or: Sokka and Zuko are born on the same day. For as long as they can remember, twice a month they live each other's lives. People notice.

    Alternatively, the story of Sokka and Zuko, as seen through the eyes of everyone but them.

    Summary

    The man’s voice once again broke him from his thoughts; “In my dreams I see them tortured by Fire Nation soldiers. I see my entire culture wiped from the South, our footprint upon the ice shelves gone as though we never existed, our connection with the spirits and our ancestors forgotten.” He was silent for the briefest of moments, then, “You’re Fire Nation, aren’t you?”

    Zuko rolled onto his side, facing the wall, scar pressed into the arm that cushioned his head. “Once, maybe.”

    “Answer me this, then; when will this war see it's end?”

    Zuko, recalling the fire that had burned in Azula’s sunlit gaze the day she’d caught up to him, chose not to respond.

    Summary

    Her soulmate is not someone she can stop to think about often.

    She wishes she could.

    Serving at Roy Mustang’s side, she had gotten used to pushing things away. She had pushed away thoughts of how dangerous working with him was, thoughts of what the future might hold, and all of those small moments of indecision. Her gun in hand, her hands steady, her feet planted as she defended him and helped keep him alive.

    Riza Hawkeye was a woman who was used to pushing away the things that she could not afford to think about.

    She could not think about things like her soulmate, some unknown but named person. Her Name, dark against her wrist, was something she kept covered.
