Summary
‘…H-how am I still alive?’ Zuko thinks.
Sokka flinches back. Whoaaa, how in Spirits name did Zuko project his voice like that? Sokka didn’t even see him move his lips.
As if he can hear Sokka’s thoughts, Zuko turns his head to look directly at him, eyes bewildered.
And this is where Sokka realises something is very, very wrong.
Two minutes later: “No way!” Sokka shakes his head wildly, just as prince jerkbender across him curses. “I’m soul bonded- To him?! No way! That’s just spirit mumbo-jumbo!!!”
-or, through some freak Spirit accident involving Zhao, the Avatar, and the continuous joke that is both their existence, Sokka and Zuko have been soul-bonded and mentally linked. Neither of them are particularly happy with this.

Nothing Gold Can Remain by Stardust_Steel for fallen_ophe

Summary
In the next few minutes Jet witnesses the tension in Zuko’s prone, shaking frame head towards a peak. It’s odd to see how his features go slack, the perennially sullen mask that Zuko’s had on ever since Jet met him finally falling away- not in relief but in surrender, like he can do nothing else but submit to the pain. Zuko's chest rises in jerky bursts, a shudder of starts and stops that’s frankly disturbing to watch.
Sokka reaches out to gently tousle the scruffy hair, but Zuko makes a sound that’s somewhere between a whimper and a grunt and shifts weakly to curl on his side, so Sokka lets his hand fall back instead.
It should be satisfying to watch an ashmaker suffer this much, but after all he's learnt tonight, what Jet feels is a lot less like vindication and a lot more like sympathy.

Summary
Some days, when the scent of dew is heavy in the air and Agni’s rays lend an iridescent quality to the colors of the sky and the grass, Sokka finds himself in the company of the Sun Spirit.
“You are sad today,” the Sun Spirit observes.
“Yeah.” Sokka exhales.
“You are… missing something?”
“SomeONE,” Sokka corrects. “A… long-lost friend.” The Sun Spirit frowns a little, lips that had once been capable of the most endearingly awkward smile pulling down. Sokka looks at the soft waves of dark hair, more lustrous than they’ve ever been in the Spirit’s actual lifetime, and the way it curls over once-familiar golden eyes. He feels his heart hollow a little more.
Sokka had thought he and Zuko would have had more time together.

Summary
“What’s Sifu Hotman doing?” Aang asked, craning his neck. “That was so close!”
Sokka looked back up sharply. The air around them was becoming almost uncomfortably hot, and the flame petal expanded ever further. Still Zuko stood at its centre without moving, his head tilted back, eyes closed, almost creepily serene.
The flames scorched his skin, but Zuko didn’t move. He only tilted his head back further, like it was an invitation to the falling flames around him.
Like he was asking for it to hurt.
When the next expansive firepetals fell in, Sokka knew, knew before it happened, that Zuko would let it burn himself in a coffin of fire.
--or, Zuko and Sokka have a series of not-conversations about self-harm, and moving forward. (The cuddling and affection is a plus.)

Summary
The first thing Stephen felt was the pain…not the one he’d come to expect with every waking breath he took, not the bone deep ache that started in his wrists and moved in either direction to encompass the entirety of his arms and hands, not even the deeper, burrowing sting that came from sleeping wrong and cutting off his circulation.
No, this hurt.
