Summary
Sokka sat up and brushed the grass off of himself. He blinked once he got a good glimpse of the man in front of him, he was instantly taken aback by how attractive he was. The man’s fair skin and dark hair resembled that of Izumi’s, so there was no mistaking that he was her father, but what caught Sokka’s attention the most was the man’s eyes. Sokka has never seen eyes that were pure golden in his entire life, but looking in the man's eyes was like looking in two golden drops of sunlight. Maybe the sun came out after all, Sokka heard himself think.

A little parent au where Sokka panics and lies to Zuko telling him that Kya and Bumi are his children. Zuko finally made his first parent friend and wants to get to know him more (just as friends of course). -

Summary
When Zuko was born, he was sick. He wasn't supposed to live. Everyone said it was Zuko's fate to die. Agni disagreed. Zuko was blessed with life. He lived, much to Ozai's dismay. When Zuko is banished, he does not look for The Avatar. He doesn't believe The Avatar is still out there. Then, while Zuko and Iroh are sailing around the South Pole, they see that brilliant light in the sky. Zuko knows, this is where his life changes.
Or: Zuko, blessed by the Sun Spirit, joins the Gaang early as they're being hunted by Azula.

Summary
Zuko, Sokka thinks, is like a black cat. Looks elegant, but is in reality a ball of anger and disdain. Above it all, however, he's an ill omen, always present when Sokka's world is going to shit.
Aang is captured by the Fire Nation? Of course, that’s Zuko's fault.
Suki's village is set ablaze? Zuko's around setting things on fire.
The North Pole is besieged? Oh hey, Zuko's here.
Sokka is trapped on a remote island with no way to get home, his friends missing and possibly dead? It was honestly stupid of him to think Zuko wouldn't be there. Still, as days stretch into weeks without any sign of help, maybe it's better to have company than to try to accomplish the impossible feat of getting home alone.
...maybe.

Summary
Fire. Air. Water. Earth.
The sages used to tell stories of the old days: a time of terror when the tyrant Avatar suppressed all people and divided the land between the Fire Nation, Air Nomads, Water Tribes, and Earth Kingdom. But everything changed when Sozin’s comet allowed the Fire Nation to fight back. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, stood in the way of a prosperous and united world. But just when we almost managed to defeat him, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed, but the world cannot truly be united until the Avatar is found. Three years ago, my father entrusted me with a sacred task: to find and capture the Avatar, and thereby redeem a great shame and failure of the Fire Nation. And although many believe this is an impossible task, I still have hope. I still believe that, somehow, I will find the Avatar and restore honor to the Fire Nation and to myself.

AU where the Avatar Spirit left Aang in the iceberg and was eventually reborn in everybody’s favorite grumpy fire prince.

Summary
To Zuko, life is a stage and an important play is taking place in front of him. He believes that it is his destiny to keep the story on track no matter what and ensure everyone gets a happy ending. Things would be so much easier if the characters would stop dying, killing him, and/or ending up in some sort of catastrophic situation. It doesn't really matter, he will reset the stage as many times as it takes until everything is perfect.

Summary
Kiyoi runs away from her home on the Jasmine Isles by stowing-away on a Fire Navy ship hoping to make it to the Fire Nation mainland. But as destiny would have it, Kiyoi stows away on the one ship in the Fire Navy that is forbidden from those waters. Stuck on a ship that can’t take her to the one place she wants to go, Kiyoi pleads with the kind old man that catches her stealing from the kitchen to take her in as a servant. And Iroh has no problem with that; the more the merrier. His scowling nephew, though, that’s another story.
How ironic that the stow away that should have been the Prince’s enemy would become his best friend. It was like Iroh always said: Destiny is a funny thing. But now as Kiyoi
flies away from Ba Sing Se, she wasn’t laughing. She was crying. Choosing your destiny wasn’t funny; especially when the person you love most in the world chooses wrong.TLDR: Zuko and his best friend Kiyoi are in denial that they are more than just friends. Over the years they find them self asking the same question again and again... WWSD: What would Sokka do?

Summary
**CAN BE READ AS STANDALONE..anything before is just silly little lore**
Zuko and Sokka got close...maybe in a way that was too close to Zuko. Whatever it was, Zuko is left to deal with the consequences of their noncommittal, idiotic choices after he starts getting sick.
Their whole lives, there has never been the sense of stability and permenance, and Zuko has never experienced raw, genuine love after Mai, arguably ever. So, with their relationship undefined and complicated, Zuko chooses to navigate this particular consequence on his own, but it's a lot harder and lonlier than he would have ever imagined.
Until it's not.

Or Sokka and Zuko are emotional messes that cannot communicate and somehow manage to procreate.Series

Summary
The spirits have a terrible sense of humor and Zuko is the butt of the joke. Now only about 8 inches tall, Zuko is determined to prove he's not a failure. If he can just figure out how to regain his size, take the Avatar captive, and get back to Uncle in one piece, he'll finally regain his honor.

Summary
Sokka is a practical kind of guy. Reasonable. Science-minded. A connoisseur of facts. This makes traveling with the Avatar and his prodigy baby sister on a quest to save the world one wacky adventure at a time... a little stressful. He could do with a day off. But hey, they're his family now, and he's prepared to go through whatever he has to to keep them safe. He's less prepared to be saddled with the care of his worst enemy. Even if the kid is more quiet and adorably determined than scary when he stops being angry. Even if he's careful with his bending around them and sounds desperately sad whimpering in his sleep. Even if he only knows who they are sometimes, and the rest of the time he's shy and sweet and gentle in a completely not-Zuko kind of way. They're breaking this Spirit curse and sending him back. They are not keeping him. Sokka is putting his foot down, and not allowing anyone to get attached.
-Or-
The Gaang want to be rid of Zuko, return balance to the world, and stop the war. Zuko wants to drag the Avatar back to his abusive father, and continues to get in the way of returning balance. A 'helpful' Spirit sees a simple solution to these problems.Series

Summary
He’s not stupid. In fact, Sokka’s the smart one. He’s the one playing Zuko. So, why does he feel like it’s the other way around?
Or
Sokka finds Zuko working in a tea shop with his uncle. He starts frequenting the tea shop to keep watch over Zuko and get information. To make sure he’s not up to no good. That’s definitely the only reason.

Summary
Sokka was never sent to guard Yue, he was too busy scouting ahead with some of the Northern Tribe warriors before the Siege. He was catch and capture being taking too Zhao's ship. He barely managed to escape with his life due Aang and a giant sea monster. Now he's stranded in the middle of the ocean with no one except Prince Zuko and his uncle for company.
Sokka should have died, if not from drowning then the burns he received from his time on Zhao's ship. But he survived. Why? Maybe the white streak appearing in his hair may have give him an answer.
Inspired by 'Will We Last the Night' by CSHfic, VSfic but with Moon Spirit Sokka AU
ie: Sokka never makes it out of the North Pole with Aang and Katara. Zuko He travels through the Earth Kingdom with Zuko and his Uncle instead. -

Summary
Вождь Хакода утримує Зуко з метою викупу. Відповіді Озая на вимоги Племені Води свідчать про виховання на всі дванадцять балів. І Хакода… глибоко занепокоєний цим не його сином, і тим, що він в більшій безпеці серед ворогів, аніж з власним батьком.

Summary
The Fire Nation's Royal Family was blessed, they had been for centuries. They had the sight. Individual members of the royal family could see into the past or into the future of those they touched. If the gift was powerful enough their eyes would almost glow.
And then Zuko was born. With glowing eyes.
Ozai is ecstatic- until he realizes that Zuko can't see into the future. When he touches people he sees their pasts.
It is usually very hard to hate someone who is entirely human to you. It is hard to hate someone when you understand them as well as you understand yourself.
And Aang is very, very human.

Summary
Zuko knows his father does not believe the Avatar is alive, he does not truly expect him to find them. He's being punished for his disrespect, for not living up to what his father demands. He might deserve it, but he won't spend his life looking for someone who hasn't existed in nearly one hundred years.
If he's going to be a disappointment, he may as well do what he pleases, and if that means joining a pirate crew, chasing some spirits and blowing up whatever Fire Navy harbors are on the way, so be it.
-or-
A few months after Zuko's banishment he finds himself on a pirate ship.

Sokka/Zuko is endgame, but it's the slowest of slow burns.
MCD is not either of them.
There are original characters, I promise they don’t suck — I’m also apprehensive about ocs in fanfic but hopefully you end up loving them as much as I do —
