    Summary

    It was the 7th year anniversary of the end of the war, and Sokka was ready to forget all about Suki breaking up with him and just spend some quality time with his friends, get drunk, wake up with a hungover and turn on a new lead on his life.
    Or that was what he meant to happen, not to wake up naked together in a bed with his friend Zuko the next day, almost have a heart attack, and then ruin the precious friendship he had built with the Fire Lord after many hardships.
    But god damn it, nothing, not even Zuko's incapability to process feelings, will stop him from doing what's right and take responsibility.

    Summary

    Sokka takes a strategic step back, but he also smiles: triumphant, like he baited Zuko into exactly what he wanted. Like it’s a challenge. It’s the same way he looked when they sized each other up at the prison, with Sokka in chains that left red marks around his wrist, in tattered prison garb, malnourished and angry. Back then, that was Sokka saying: I see your power. I see you. Now, see me.

    Zuko saw him then. And he sees him now; different, but the same. I see you.

    Zuko lights his daos in flame. Sokka grins, back to gravel and heat. “Come on, Fire Lord. Impress me.”

    Zuko burns. His vision flickers with fire. His heart races. His blood sings. His body is like a magnet, pulling ever onward to meet Sokka’s. He advances.

    He pins Sokka to the wall, blades against his throat.

    Or, Zuko found Aang first, Sokka and Katara were imprisoned in Boiling Rock for trying to rescue their dad, and all Sokka knows is he's pretty sure he's not supposed to think the Fire Lord is attractive but he's never let things like rules stop him before.

    Summary

    The man stared for a long time. The smile he bore had been completely wiped clean as he studied the scarring. Zuko’s skin itched with anxiety at the odd attention he was given and shot a scowl at the warrior, startling him out of his thoughts. The man offered an apologetic yet awkward smile as he patted his chest and started to speak. It took Zuko a moment to realize that what was being said was a very horribly butchered attempt at Fire Nation formal language. A horrendous introduction.

    “My name is Sokka, son of Chief Hakoda.” He introduced with what the savage may have thought was casual ease judging by the sideways smile and the warmth in his eyes. Then proceeded to ask, pointing at Zuko to get his meaning across. “Your name is Li, right?”

    ‘Okay so they don’t know who I am.’ Zuko didn’t let his sigh of relief show as he nodded slowly in confirmation.

    Or

    Zuko slips into the scouting party that is sent on a mission to gather intel on an Earth Kingdom encampment only to be ambushed by Water Tribe warriors and taken as a prisoner of war. Zuko finds himself masquerading as Private Li, the Fire Nation scout as he receives a one way trip to the South Pole.

    Summary

    Sokka's got his hands full raising his sister on his own and trying to scrape his way through college for a degree he desperately needs. He doesn't have time for cute boys, especially not irritating ones with scars who take theatre class way too seriously. Sokka doesn't have time for anything except for his sister and the future he's trying to build for her, and he's perfectly alright with that.

    As Iroh would say, however, life has a funny way of making time for itself.
