    Summary

    Zuko watched now, listening to the lieutenant’s deep voice singing an old folk song. He trembled, and that feeling burst through his chest with a terrifying, painful sort of clarity. His irrational anger at the lieutenant… it had been this all along. How could he not have…?

    Oh.
    Oh no.

    Summary

    Zuko’s eighteen years old and drinking a lukewarm cup of jasmine tea when Sokka turns to him and says, “You know I’m in love with you, right?”

    Zuko doesn’t choke on his tea. He keeps drinking it, then stops drinking it, then sets it down on the table with a quiet clink.

    “Yeah,” he answers, his voice almost inaudible over the faint crackling of the torch. “I know.”

     

    Or: Sokka's in love with Zuko. Zuko knows this. Zuko's in love with Sokka. Sokka knows this.

    They're not meant to be in love. Everyone knows this.

    Summary

    [Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.

    “Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.

    What the fuck?

    “Sokka, I—”

    Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.

    What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]

    Or:

    An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.

    But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.

    Yeah, nah.

    Summary

    Zuko wakes up.

    And Zhao, the incompetent, honourless bastard, hurt the wrong fish.

    [[Alternate Universe, where Agni, Tui, and La become involved in the lives of mortals. Zhao wounds the Ocean spirit, not the moon. And more importantly: Yue lives, which changes everything.]]
