    Summary

    It wasn't a big deal, really; Sokka knew lots of queer people. Suki had a girlfriend now, he thought with a bit of pain, and that didn't bother him other than the sting of the breakup itself. He knew that Toph had girlfriends and boyfriends, and Aang had told him that the Air Nomads of the past never thought to put a label on anything, letting monks love whom they wanted to without judgment.

    So why did the idea of Zuko liking a guy make his stomach churn uneasily? Why did his chest clench at the thought of him being with a man?

    or

    Sokka doesn't know why he feels weird about Zuko coming out. Stupidly, he mistakes his jealousy for homophobia.

    Summary

    Zuko tucked his face into the crook of her neck. She smelled like sea salt, and shower oil and likely his smoky cologne. "Wake up," he pleaded, pouting against her skin.

    There was a soft interruption. The sound of feet padding on the floorboards as they got closer in the rhythm of the restrictive gait of someone who'd been told not to run in the hallway.

    "Daddy?"

    Zuko shot up in a jiffy, propped on one elbow, craning to see past Mai to the doorway. "Izumi, my little turtleduck!" he beamed, throwing his arms out.

    Summary

    “I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.

    “I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”

    “You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”

     

    In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

    Summary

    “Oh no,” Garrus said. “I know that face. That’s your problem solving face. That’s your I think I can fit through this air vent and drop down behind their reinforcements face.”

    “What if we do it first?”

    He stared at her. “Shepard. I fear the consequences of the next four words immensely. What do you mean?”

    A smile lifted the corner of her mouth. “What if we find you a mate before your dad gets here?”

    “Spirits,” he said, the word half curse, half exhalation. “That’s what I was afraid you were going to say.”

    -----

    They survived the end of the world. They've had a few (relatively) normal years with no catastrophies. But with Garrus’ dad breathing down his neck about finally settling down, they've only got 48 hours to produce a suitable partner.

    Garrus has just the girl in mind. If only she wasn't the one trying to set him up.
