Most people know they're a bender since birth. Sokka just had to discover it at twenty when he accidentally burns his own house down.

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
The ‘thing’ in question is a roughly-cut stone, attached to a length of blue leather with a simple steel clasp. Zuko looks up at Sokka. “What is this?”
Sokka grins. “It’s a betrothal necklace!”
Zuko chokes on his own spit.
Or: five times Zuko catches Sokka with a betrothal necklace, and the one time he doesn’t.

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.

not a lack of creativity, but rather a lack of time to think of an appropriate comeback by glowingshadows

Summary
And so the rest of Zuko’s bad luck from there was less to do with such emotional tragedies, and more to do with personal pride. For example, the situation with soulmates.
Now, when Zuko first got his words, he assumed that his soulmate was probably some sort of bee fanatic. That was what anyone else would have assumed before the fateful day of the 14th of December, 2007.
But then came the references. Oh the many references, and jokes. Zuko swore to himself that the next time someone asked him if he liked jazz, he would punch them in the face.
OR:
Everyone gets their soulmarks when they’re thirteen. When Zuko wakes up on his thirteenth birthday to a soulmark that almost completely covers his arm, he isn’t sure what to expect.
(Zuko’s take on “It’s the lack of creativity for me”. Can be read as a stand-alone, but reading the two together completes the experience!)
