Summary
[There’s a carefree smile on Bato’s face as he tells them, “You two seem great together.”
Sokka blinks at him a couple times, pretending he has no idea what he’s talking about.
Bato shrugs as he turns away. “It’s good to see you happy, Sokka,” he throws over his shoulder.
Sokka stares at him as he disappears out the door.
“Well,” he says without really thinking about it, “at least Bato approves.”]
OR
Well, four times Sokka didn’t tell his dad he’s dating the Fire Lord... and one time he did.

Summary
[“Uhm, I don’t know who you are,” Zuko grumbles into the phone, effectively cutting probably-drunk-guy off, “but this most definitely isn’t your sister.”
It’s quiet for a few moments and if not for the background noise on the other end of the line, Zuko would assume the stranger had hung up.
“Yeah,” the guy says at last, “you don’t sound like Katara at all.”
“Because I’m not,” Zuko mutters, not all too worried about sounding bitter or rude because it’s the middle of the night and most people would be pretty grumpy at being woken up by some probably drunk stranger.
“So who are you then?” the guy asks.
Zuko blinks a couple of times to himself. “Not your sister?”]
OR
Zuko's early morning starts even earlier when he's rudely woken up by a call from a drunk stranger. Turns out this drunk stranger is kind of endearing though.

The Unwanted Animal by pumpkinpatchwrites

Summary
[The hair on the back of his neck rises mid-step but by then it’s already too late, the air shifts and within the blink of an eye there’s a blade to his throat.
“You should watch where you’re going.”
It’s said like a threat but Sokka remains calm, letting out a slow exhale as he lowers his right hand to the hilt of his dagger. “Doing drills in the garden, or looking for a fight?”
“Tsk.” The blade is lowered and Sokka subsequently turns to face his current main lead in this investigation.]
OR
After receiving the blessing of the Moon Spirit, Sokka has the ability to trace spiritual energy and takes up work in the Spirit Guidance Council. One day, he’s assigned a case in a remote Earth Kingdom farming village that has been haunted by a dark phantom spreading misfortune and fear for multiple years. The case leads him to a boy who emits abnormal levels of spiritual energy; a boy who might be hiding a lot more than a dark past.

Summary
[“Here.” The boy holds out a cigarette for him. “You look like you need it.”
Sokka takes it with a grateful smile and is just about to get his lighter when the boy holds out his finger with a small flame flickering above it.
“Oh.” He brings the tip of his cigarette above the flame to light it. “Thanks.”
“No problem.” The boy jerks his head back towards the porch, a clear invitation for Sokka to join him, then he turns around and walks back to the bench. Sokka follows him without a word.]
OR
Sokka’s life slips into meaninglessness after Yue’s death. Nothing seems fun or exciting anymore, he mostly just allows himself to be dragged along with whatever his friends want to do in a desperate attempt to find something to hold onto, though it’s all mostly futile.
Then he meets Zuko, who’s moved into Yue’s old place. Zuko, who’s interesting and strange and kind. Who doesn’t judge Sokka even when he probably should. Who maybe gets it in a way no one else around him does.

Summary
Okay. Sokka is definitely zoning out in the middle of a business meeting. Sue him. It’s not that he doesn’t care about the upcoming anniversary livestream they are currently planning per se, but more like there are only so many ways you can go over repeated questions such as ”what color should the balloons be?” and ”at what point should the candles be lit?” before you stop paying attention.
OR
Sokka and Zuko make music, kiss, fake-date, and play minecraft, not necessarily in that order. All while being famous idols.

Bookmarker's Notes
As someone with 0 interest in k-pop (for a few different reasons), this was surprisingly intriguing! Very happy I read it because it was absolutely hilarious, I think the author captures fandoms extremely well and mange to mix these characters into this scenario pretty smoothly in a way I didn’t expect. Worthwhile read if you’re looking for some lighthearted fun with some nice depth to it (and are ready to excuse some OOC).

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.

This is possibly my all time favourite fic and I hate it. There is no fic that has ever brought me more pain and suffering than this fic. I hate this fic with a burning passion. Everyone should read it, it's perfect.

Summary
It seems like such a stupid thing, to be afraid of.
Zuko is the Firelord. He is in charge of a nation. He has fought in wars. He has survived horrible injury and abuse and come out the other side, maybe not undamaged but alive and healing.
And he has never had sex before.
Or: Sokka balks at the Firenation's terrible views on sex, and dicks his boyfriend down exactly the way he deserves.

Summary
“Hello there!” The kid’s head shot up, their body freezing. Big eyes staring back at him. Well, one eye actually. The other one was still pulled fairly closed, the side of their face covered in a heck of a burn scar. How does a kid get a scar like that?
“Do you live close to here? If you don’t, it looks like rain, I don’t mind giving you a ride if-“ The kid had already run off. In the opposite direction. And into the woods.
Because a strange man in a minivan had pulled up and asked where they live and offered to give them a ride, stellar work there Hakoda.
At least the kid had some survival instincts.
Zuko needs a new dad, and Hakoda volunteers. A story spanning Zuko's old life, new life, and beyond
