    Summary

    “Can’t really ‘see’ me though, can you, short stack?”

    The painful kick he received under the table stung his knee, but it was worth it. Toph was quiet for a moment as Zuko laughed to himself, before she blurted out;

    “Aang told me you have a scar on your face. How did you get it?”

    Zuko stopped laughing immediately, completely caught off guard, and almost dropped the teacup on the table. He had always figured Sokka and his impulsive mouth would be the first to ask.

    Or; the Gaang finds out how Zuko got his scar + a lil zukka. as a treat.

    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 is five when the first mark appears. 

    It writes itself in a deep red like a wound, as if someone had carved the word “nonbender” in a messy font across the knuckles of his left hand, as if it was handwritten with a knife.

    When he asks his mother, as she applies salve on Sokka’s knuckles, she sighs deeply and says nothing for a few moments. 

    “Sometimes, spirits don’t make much sense.”

    Sokka has yet to turn thirteen when he wakes up screaming in pain, about ten soulmarks all over each other between his left shoulder and his ear, red and vivid like burning flesh. Among the few words that are somehow possible to read out of the disastrous scribbling, “disrespectful” and “coward” and “burned” and “sorry sorry sorry” are the ones that stand out the most to Sokka. He thinks, at the tender age of twelve, whoever did this to his soulmate will be sorry too, one day.

    A month after Hakoda leaves him with the job of the protector at the age of thirteen, Sokka realizes, with a bitter taste in his mouth, that he’s got more soulmarks than his entire village combined.]

    Or, to have a soulmark is to carry the vilest things that your soulmate believes about themselves on your skin.

    Summary

    Zuko was probably more involved in the gossip around the palace than he had any right to be.

    It’s not his fault, it’s really not. It’s just that sometimes he’s sitting in the kitchens (the best place to get the gossip) drinking tea and trying to relax for once, and some of the kitchen staff will start gossiping where he can still hear them. He doesn’t really try to listen in; it’s not his place and he won’t judge the staff based on whatever rumors are running around, but Spirits is it interesting. He tries not to listen too much, or get too invested in it though. Gossip is gossip after all, and rumors hardly ever turn out to be true.

    But Zuko absolutely needs to know if Maya from the laundry room broke up with her piece of shit boyfriend.

    Or, 5 times Zuko got invested in/meddled in palace gossip, and 1 time he was the subject of the gossip.
