Summary
People often are pleased with the illusion of choice, to feel as if they have control over their perception of the world once it turns its back on them. A wounded dog learns to lap at fresh wounds while at its attacker's side, and a hungrier one knows that the hand that can no longer feed it only becomes an opportunity for bloodlust. Once sweetness is detested, bitterness has already made a home on your pink tongue. When you get a taste of it, no one has complete control over that thumping organ that births butterflies of yearning for self-destruction. There isn’t a single person alive capable of easily ridding the pest of intrusive thoughts that chew at the integral wiring of your brain after you’re let down one too many times. No one can accomplish that.
At least, not alone.
Or
What better place to unpack and navigate your previous trauma than Ranshaw's Haunted Attractions? Sokka and Zuko find comfort in each other when they least expect it.

Summary
Zuko proffers the card, and Sokka takes it, their fingers brushing. Sokka tries to cover up the way he shivers at the contact by turning the card over and squinting at the text written on the front.
Zuko Sozin. Tattoo Artist. The Jasmine Dragon.
A single dragon curls around the characters in red ink.

Summary
Zuko’s life, when he was still performing, had been an endless stream of attractive musicians; puffed up egomaniacs who thought they were god's gift to the music industry. He thought he’d known every type of rockstar, and at the end of the day they were really all the same.
Never any drummers, though.
Never anything like Sokka.Bookmarked by mousedyke

Summary
The attack on the Northern Water Tribe goes differently, Aang and the ocean spirit don’t destroy the entire Fire Nation fleet, only most of them.
Zhao escapes, taking Sokka and a few other Water Tribe men as prisoners. Knowing Sokka is traveling with the Avatar he gets sent to Zhao’s “special prison camp” that is hidden near the Earth Kingdom colonies.
Sokka gets a taste of the real war, not the war that he thinks he knows from traveling with the Avatar. While Zhao’s prisoner, he struggles to survive the inhuman conditions. Alone and thought to be dead, he feels himself slowly losing hope.
Seeing a familiar face brings back his hope, even if that face is the scarred Prince of the Fire Nation.
Sokka and Zuko come together to survive and end up depending on each other for a lot more than they ever thought possible.

Summary
Sokka is so secure in his heterosexuality, he'll kiss boys and be chill with it. He'll hold Zuko's hand and shower him in compliments and be chill with it. This is unfortunate for Zuko, who is neither heterosexual nor chill with it.
