Summary
[In another life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison outside Pao’s teashop, dresses himself in black, and resumes his mission with the kind of single-minded focus he hadn’t been able to muster for months.
In this life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison, stares at it for a bit with his insides roiling around his heart like a ship caught in a storm, and crumples it up in one hand before tossing it into the trash and going back inside.]
Sometime during late spring in the city of Ba Sing Se, Zuko serves tea (badly), falls in love (maybe), and deals with a chronic illness of the soul.

Summary
Zuko said nothing for a moment, turning the name over in his mind. Sokka. It was so insufferably Water Tribe that the name must have been created to irritate him personally. He loathed it immediately and completely, “You have a sharp tongue for someone who is at the mercy of the Fire Nation,” Zuko answered instead, "I advise you to be careful with it, since sharp things tend to get taken away.”
The corner of Sokka’s mouth lifted into a smirk, his eyes finding Zuko’s, “You could certainly try.”
With the Avatar vanished, the Fire Nation successfully eradicated the Air Nomads and Northern Water Tribe before heading south. The Southern Water Tribe's poor defenses allowed the Fire Nation to defeat them easily, and with the last benders either killed or captured, destroyed the Water Nation completely.
Now, nearly a hundred years after the Avatar vanished, waterbenders, like airbenders, have become a myth.Until a banished prince, with his honor in shambles and tasked to find and capture the long-vanished Avatar, discovers the myth to be untrue.

Summary
"What if the baby gets cold?"
The omega blinked. "Our child is currently the size of a mango."
"What if it's a cold mango?"
Zuko laughed so hard tears appeared in his eyes. Sokka smiled despite himself. The sound always made him happy. Always.
He watched his omega laugh beneath the evening sky. Watched the man he loved more than anything, the father of his child. The ruler who had survived impossible things. The boy who had somehow become his entire world.
And before his brain could catch up with his mouth-
"Marry me."
-
Summary: Zuko is pregnant. Sokka is thrilled. Unfortunately, the alpha's definition of "supportive partner" quickly becomes "overprotective menace." Zuko has survived assassins, rebellions, and most importantly, his own family. Surviving Sokka might be harder.Series

Summary
He has grown accustomed to ignoring his gut feelings.
Stretching years of tamping back instincts, or anxiety, or fury. In the name of keeping the appearance of regality.
He is the first born son, the prince who will inherit the conquered, who is currently journeying to the end of his life as he knows it.
Zuko can’t help but feel like his upcoming marriage is another little death in a line of many.
Or: Zuko is on his way to his arranged marriage, when he is kidnapped en route.

entre les braises on marchera (we will walk among the embers) by Lizardlicks, SyciaraLynx

Summary
Sokka waits, weighing the pros and cons of chancing stepping out into the lantern lit street once more, and ultimately deciding against it. He turns instead to head back down the alley, twisting his way around the narrowly cleared path filled with empty sacks and crates, and nearly falls flat on his face when his foot catches on something he tries to step over at the same time it tries to jolt away.
Still, he is shocked enough to go wheeling forward, and his bag of carefully procured supplies goes tumbling free to scatter all over the ground as he catches himself. “What the-?”
But the moment his eyes catch it, he is frozen to the spot.
The leg he had fallen over, being pulled beneath a body.
And there is a moment of icy dread, fear instant and instinctual before he can stop it but the sight of shredded clothing, of bruising, of the unfocused gold of a pair of eyes attempting to make sense of him, has a different concern immediately taking over. “Zuko?”

Summary
“W…well!” Katara rushed to add, “I mean, they’re not married yet!” She chuckled nervously, fidgeting in her chains. “It was…uhm…spur of the moment!”
“Exactly!” Aang cut in, “You know how lovebirds are! One minute it’s all ‘raa, let me kill you!’ Then it’s—‘no, my love, marry me!’”
The king was not impressed.
“Avatar,” his voice was a rumble, “are you telling me my bride, whom I was promised over ten years ago, has decided to become wed to this—” his eyes cut to the left, “—thing?”
Aang looked over at Sokka, who was sweating profusely in the corner of their small cell, and turned back to the king. “…How mad will you be if I say yes?”
—————————
Or: When the Gaang is kidnapped by a very wealthy Earth Kingdom city, Sokka and Zuko must pretend to be a couple to keep the King from claiming Zuko as his bride.
What the Gaang doesn’t realize, however, is that this King staked his claim on Zuko a long, long time ago.And he will not stop until he gets what he rightfully deserves.

Summary
For as long as he can remember, Zuko knew he would have no say in who he would marry. Anyone familiar with basic royal customs would realize it as well. Marriage wasn’t a luxury or some grand display of love; marriage was for convenience and a power move if done correctly. It meant nothing to Zuko. He was raised with the knowledge that he would one day be sent off to live with a stranger for the sake of his nation, and it didn’t matter if he ended up happy or not. His happiness didn't matter.
All this to say, when his father tells him that he is to marry a stranger from the Southern Water Tribe and use their marriage as an opportunity to spy on the enemy, Zuko knows he has no choice. It's just...he didn't expect this stranger to be so kind to him.

Summary
Years ago, Prince Zuko told a stubborn Water Tribe boy that someone without bending could never defeat him.
Sokka remembered.
Years later they meet again. Older, stronger, and far more dangerous. Zuko still expects to win.
Unfortunately for him, Sokka has spent years learning exactly how to prove him wrong.
That was only the beginning...
Now, a diplomatic meeting brings them back together, along with unresolved tension, a few misunderstandings and absolutely no chance of things staying professional.

Summary
"Azula’s answering grin is bitter and horrible and broken as she leans in close to Aang’s face and says, ‘Listen Avatar, I can either join your group, or I’ll do something unspeakably horrible to your friends. Your choice.’”
OR: After Zhao’s failed siege, Zuko and Iroh are captured. A few weeks later, Ozai receives a ransom from the Northern Water Tribe signed in Zuko’s blood. Unfortunately for the Firelord, Zuko’s safety is all Azula cares about.
OR: Unfortunately for Sokka, that means the Gaang has not one, but two unstable, broken fire siblings to deal with. Y’know. Once they break Zuko out of prison. Because this is not a situation that calls for torture (probably. HE'S still on the fence about it, screw Aang and Katara and their stupid morals and how much he agrees with them)

I could love you violently, if I let myself by zukofreak

Summary
When Sokka moves from Alaska to Massachusetts with his family, he doesn’t expect to end up next door to two loud neighbours who all they seem to do is fight. He definitely doesn’t expect to befriend Zuko, a quiet, angry boy who makes Sokka feel how he’s never felt before.
Together, they’ll show eachother what love feels like, and how close that feels to pain.
All Zuko knows is how to fight. It doesn’t matter if the love heals or burns; it’s all a fight, a fight he can’t win, but he can’t give up. He doesn’t know if he can trust this new stranger with bright blue eyes and a far too trusting smile. Zuko already has a life, a life with Zhao. And Sokka threatens all of that.
The feeling of love, desire, creates such impossible happiness, but it is all-consuming, and can’t be held. Like trying to capture the sun with cupped hands, but the warmth it provides is so beautiful, and so temporary, because if he stays like this, he’ll burn.

Summary
Summary: It'd been 11 years since Zuko was banished. The war waged on, and the avatar had yet to be seen or heard of. With no crew, no Uncle, and no place to call home, Zuko struggled to survive outside a war-tattered Ba Sing Se. Between the Fire Nation skirmishes and the muggers of the Lower Ring, every day alone had been a battle.
So when a ruffian group of rag-tag fighters came along, offering him a spot among the ranks and the shield of safety in numbers, Zuko was both wary and drawn.

Look, it wasn’t like Harry planned to end up snogging — and maybe sort of sleeping — with Draco Malfoy the night before Ron and Hermione’s wedding.
And it definitely wasn’t like he planned to spend the entire wedding day half-hard, half-murderous, and fully out of his mind because Malfoy wouldn’t leave him alone.
But apparently everyone else had seen this coming since sixth year.
Everyone except Harry.Bookmarked by DragonTree

“Camping, Carmy?” Sydney hissed, “Have you lost your fucking mind? We have three consecutive days off – which is already a miracle – and we’re turning it into a work event? A camping work event? I was gone a fucking hour! What fucking happened to trust? I’m never going to the doctor’s again – I’ve been fucking betrayed!”
“Do I look fuckin’ happy about it, Syd?” Carmy snapped, keeping a careful watch on the doorway. “I found out five minutes before you.”
“How do we get out of this?” Sydney asked, flipping to a blank page in her notebook, like she had put the answer there sometime in her sleep the night before. “Carm? Don’t look at me like that, I’m not sleeping on the ground.”
