Summary
Sokka heard that story before. Of course he did, the turning point of Zuko's destiny, the single bravest and most noble (or stupid) thing he's ever done. He retold the thoughts that went through his head back then, the repercussions... but he left out a single detail.
And it's that detail that changes everything.I need to see his soulmark. Sokka thinks, heart hammering in his chest.

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
[“They might not realize it was unsafe,” Zuko says, nodding like that makes sense. “If it’s what they were raised with. Or if it changed slowly. So they might keep going back even if it wasn’t good.”
“Maybe,” Sokka says, scratching at the base of his wolf tail and making a strong mental note to dig up more information. Homework might be piling up, but it's not piled yet, right? And if Zuko is interested, well, Sokka is interested in seeing where Zuko's mind goes. “The ducklings not doing well would probably be an indicator, though.”
“Hm,” Zuko says, after what Sokka is starting to think—hope—might be a characteristic pause. “You’d think.”]
Or,
Sokka is nothing if not enthusiastic about his interests--Learning. Campus traditions. The campus turtle ducks. The guy who's watching the ducks so intently this year.
Zuko is nothing if not intense about duck watching. (It's not really about the ducks.) (Is it ever?)
