Summary
“Ranger Nakayama,” says Marshal Piandao. “I’m glad to see you made it here in one piece. Welcome to Hong Kong.”
“Um, thank you, sir,” Zuko says. “It’s an honour to be here.”
Piandao’s eyes crinkle in what Zuko recognizes as a smile. “I’d like you to meet Ranger Aang Gyatso,” he says, and inclines his head in the direction of the man standing next to him. “Your co-pilot.”
—
With the Jaeger Program nearing the end of its life, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps brings in Zuko Nakayama, ex-Jaeger pilot, as a last-ditch effort. His role is simple: to act as co-pilot for the newly restored Avatar Fury, and hopefully bring an end to the Kaiju War, once and for all.
//For day 1 of Zukka Week 2023: Modern AU.

Summary
Chief Arnook never assigns Sokka to protect Princess Yue, so he goes to fight the Fire Nation with the other men. When the moon dies and the ocean spirit takes its revenge, Sokka is caught standing on the deck of a Fire Nation ship. Sokka should have drowned… and he would have drowned, if not for a certain Fire Nation raft fleeing the North Pole.
[An enemies-to-lovers season 2 rewrite, where Sokka is separated from the gaang during the Siege of the North, and travels the Earth Kingdom with Zuko instead].

Summary
Zuko was never banished from the fire nation, he tried to fight the agni kai, he got burned, but he was never banished. only for the fact that he was considered a national treasure for his kindness and compassion to the people. When the gaang finds this out, they hatch a plot hoping to end the war once and for all,
spoilers, nothing goes according to plan. -

Summary
Hidden in the deepest darkest corner of the Palace, the imprisoned Prince Zuko serves out his punishment and waits - and waits to be pardoned and released by his father.
Not knowing that Fire Lord Ozai has already declared to the world that his son has died.
Until a strange group of kids invade the Royal Palace, and accidentally rescue the formerly dead Prince Zuko...
— their invasion had gone to shreds since the Fire Lord had disappeared, and now there was an unconscious maybe-probably-enemy lying by his feet.
"Oh great, NOW what??” Sokka flailed both of his hands towards the boy. "When I said we could loot some stuff from the Royal Palace, I didn’t mean THIS!!"
As usual, Katara ignored his extremely valid point.
"We need to hurry," she said, as if Sokka didn’t already know that, it was his plan, "- can you carry him, Sokka? We have to take him with us."

Summary
The Jasmine Dragon comes into the mall, and apparently all it takes for Sokka to forget everything he's ever learned from the imaginary sales associate ethics rulebook are a pair of pretty gold eyes and plush lips turned up in a scowl.
(At least the cute but grumpy tea shop server has absolutely no qualms in giving Sokka the same energy right back.)
--
“Sometimes,” Sokka declares into his headset. “I feel like I’m going through the five stages of grief every time I walk into this place. Or like I’m capable of murder. I haven’t decided yet."“With those scrawny little arms? You better start asking for some heartfelt condolences cards from everyone instead, Sokka."

Summary
Disheartened after the failed attack on Caldera on the Day of Black Sun, Sokka is hunting in the woods by the Western Air Temple when Mai pins him to a tree and offers him a trade — Zuko in exchange for his father.
All he has to do is trick the Jerk Prince into breaking into the Boiling Rock prison with him. Should be easy enough. Shouldn’t awaken anything in him or anything.

Summary
Sokka looked around the throne room with interest. “I always wondered what the world was like from up here - must be nice looking out at your adoring subjects.”
“Being the Fire Lord is pretty dull,” Zuko said glumly, "unless you enjoy hearing people bicker about taxes. After a while, thwarting the occasional assassination is basically a form of stress relief."
In which Fire Lord Zuko and Ambassador Sokka get drunk, go fishing, watch theatre, uncover a conspiracy, visit a teahouse, destroy a historical monument, and reckon with the painful legacy of the past – but not necessarily in that order. [PODFIC AVAILABLE]

Summary
[“Zuko’s a fantastic chef and I totally respect him as my competition,” Sokka says sincerely to the interviewer. “His technique is unmatched in our field. But at the end of the day, he just doesn’t have the knowledge of the craft that I do. So, yeah, I’m pretty confident that I can beat him out for the title of Best Chef Alive.”]
[“Sokka? No, I’m not worried about him. I don’t really think about him much at all.”]
Tune in as Chef Sokka and Chef Zuko, the fiercest culinary rivals in Food Network history, face off to win the title of Best Chef Alive! Will one these two legends walk away with the cash prize of one million dollars? Or is there an even greater prize at stake?

Summary
Mid-Season-One Zuko is held for ransom by Chief Hakoda. Ozai's replies to the Water Tribe's demands are A+ Parenting. Hakoda is… deeply concerned, for this son that isn't his, and who might be safer among enemies than with his own father.
Podfic and translations in Dutch, German, Hungarian, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian now available! See chapter one author notes for links.

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
He can’t stop it. Aang sees it happening, but there’s nothing he can do. He hadn’t even expected Zuko to be there, though maybe he should have, because Fire Lord Ozai is his father and he would want to keep his son safe during the eclipse - if they were anything like family should be.
But they aren’t, and it's not him that Ozai’s lightning strikes.
It's Zuko.
(aka, zuko joins the gaang during the eclipse)
discontinued, sorry.

Summary
Zuko is courting Katara, and with every passing day finds new and insane ways of showing that he would quite literally move the spirit world and earth to make her happy.
In hindsight, it probably would've been better if Sokka had realised he was in love with Zuko at literally any time before this. Or preferably, never fallen for his best friend in the first place.

Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

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
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.
