    Summary

    A few people have asked if I would make a series for my Fire Lord Zuko fics so they’re easier to read, so here we are! The fics aren’t linear, or necessarily connected (though I do recycle original characters, and occasionally reference an event mentioned in another fic) but you don’t need to read all of them in order to understand one of them, so you’re free to read whichever ones you want. Enjoy!!

    Summary

    Zuko loved his Father, like kindling loves the fire.

    Ozai just wished he would die already.

    (Or: Zuko’s father meant for him to die at the Agni Kai, but the spirits have a different plan, one that Hakoda didn’t recall signing up for.)

    Summary

    Zuko is in love with his best friends, and his best friends are in love with each other. That's the way that things have always been, and Zuko is okay with that. He's perfectly content watching them love one another from afar.

    Or- Sokka, Suki, and Zuko take care of each other after the war and find more than friendship along the way, while Toph bangs her head against a wall in the background. Post-canon AU.

    Summary

    [“Right,” Hakoda manages. “An honor.”

    “Once we will endeavor to meet with equal honor in return,” the Fire Lord says so quickly he starts almost before Hakoda gets out the last syllable.

    “Sure.” Hakoda has to forcibly unclench his teeth to grind out, “We’re happy to welcome the delegation.” As if they had any choice in it.

    Fuck, but it would have been a lot easier to say no if the Fire Lord weren’t dating his son.]

    Or,

    Zuko is nervous about making a good impression on his first visit South as Fire Lord, which certainly has nothing to do with meeting Sokka’s father.

    Sokka is excited to see his boyfriend after months apart, and is absolutely totally fine with not being involved in the week’s political negotiations. Totally.

    Hakoda already has a headache just thinking about how exactly he’s supposed to interact with a fellow world leader who is also a teenager, and also dating his son, and wait--Sokka’s old enough for dating now? When did that happen?

    Summary

    It's tragic, really. He discovers a massive new fetish, kink, whatever – seriously, how had it escaped his notice until now that male corsetry existed and that it looked like that – in the same sentence as Zuko's predilection for it. And he can't do a damn thing about it, because he's a good friend who promised not to make things weird.

    Sokka's hopeless crush on his best friend was bad enough before the discovery of certain habits of Zuko's, but now it really just feels like the universe is out to get him personally. If by the universe he means poor impulse control and his own imagination.
