Summary
This story follows them through the years, focusing on their healing after the war. Zuko never learned how to rest. Sokka never learned how to stop holding everyone else up.
Snippet:
Zuko makes an expression like he’s about to plunge into ice water: “I visited my father again this evening,” he swallows hard, “If you ever see me turning into him I want you to…I want you to end me.”Everything tunnels in.
“No.”
Zuko pauses, runs his hand through his hair, hard, like he’s trying to dig something out of his skull.
”I’m not... right. Not inside. The war’s over, and I thought I’d be at peace. But I’m not,” he squeezes his eyes shut, “Two years have passed. I sleep, and I see visions, fire. I see myself burning everything. Sometimes it’s Sozin’s dragon. Sometimes it’s…memories.”
Sokka watches him and it’s awful, because he recognizes himself, his own version of this. And he wants to fix it, he needs to fix it, needs to get that look out of Zuko’s eyes, but he’s not even sure where to start.
So he says the only thing that feels honest: “It’s okay. I get nightmares too.”

Summary
A ship. As if one could simply sail to the Boiling Rock. One of the people walking between Zuko and Akira rushed ahead with the command. Zuko had to give it to them, the acting was impressive. Father had even gone so far and supplied them with palace guard robes. But they were truly going somewhere. Had Ozai forgotten he had promised that Zuko would never see a flame, and he could forget about the sun?
Or: Ursa flees the palace earlier. It changes everything and nothing.

Summary
As soon as Zuko heard the clang, his heart froze.
He had dropped the wrench.
The guards escorting him to the cooler paused. "What's this?" one of them asked in a condescending tone. "It looks like a wrench," the other responded, a smirk spreading across his face as he picked it up and weighed it in his palm.
"Planning to fix the cooler while you're in there?" the first guard sneered, holding open the heavy door.
Zuko didn't answer. He couldn't. His pulse was roaring in his ears, his heart pounding. Anything he said now could and would be used against him. "Search him, maybe he has more."Or

Toph Tickled in Boiling Rock by FeatherHeart22

Summary
This is a sequel to the following story:
https://www.deviantart.com/featherheart22/art/Chi-Blocked-and-Tickled-Azula-s-Punishment-1174889111Synopsis: While traveling through the Fire Nation with her friends, Toph's overconfidence leads to her capture and confinement. In Boiling Rock prison, Princess Azula takes advantage of Toph's extraordinary sensitivity, subjecting her to a tickling interrogation which pushes her sanity to the limit. Toph endures the ordeal with the help of an unexpected ally, until a daring rescue can be mounted. (Includes a bonus epilogue where Ty Lee is tickled.)
Timeline: This story wasn’t designed to fit perfectly into the official timeline, but it could be reasonably well inserted around the season 3 episodes, "The Runaway" or "The Puppetmaster".
Spoilers: Before reading this story, I recommend watching the show up to the season 3 episodes, “The Boiling Rock” parts 1 and 2.

Summary
“But you just said honor is about doing what’s right. You must have known that wasn’t right,” Sokka presses.
There’s a long moment of silence. Then, “I knew it didn’t feel right. But I always told myself that if I knew the first thing about honor, I would still be home.”
“I don’t understand."
“I didn’t, either,” Zuko sighs.
~
Of course Sokka has seen the scar. It’s kind of hard to miss.
…It just hadn’t occurred to him that it meant anything.

Summary
Zuko had thought being a refugee in the Earth Kingdom was the lowest he could be, but being a prisoner in the Boiling Rock put many things in perspective.

Summary
“I asked around. There’s one Water Tribe prisoner here, and I’m pretty sure it’s your father.” Zuko flips his visor up, looking Sokka in the eyes as he continues. “But look, he’s been here for a while, Sokka. The Warden–”
“Where is he?” Sokka asks. “Where’s Dad?”---
This is a canon-divergent AU where Boiling Rock is worse. I took the Warden's "special prisoner" line and ran with it. I also wanted to explore what would have happened if Hakoda had been the one who'd been in Boiling Rock for a while rather than Suki, and what that might have changed.
Zuko is the type of person to go all-in when he commits to a goal, and that does not always go in his favor! Here we follow him, Sokka, and Hakoda through Boiling Rock and the aftermath.

Summary
The man’s voice once again broke him from his thoughts; “In my dreams I see them tortured by Fire Nation soldiers. I see my entire culture wiped from the South, our footprint upon the ice shelves gone as though we never existed, our connection with the spirits and our ancestors forgotten.” He was silent for the briefest of moments, then, “You’re Fire Nation, aren’t you?”
Zuko rolled onto his side, facing the wall, scar pressed into the arm that cushioned his head. “Once, maybe.”
“Answer me this, then; when will this war see it's end?”
Zuko, recalling the fire that had burned in Azula’s sunlit gaze the day she’d caught up to him, chose not to respond.

Summary
Sokka couldn't abandon his father when the invasion failed. It was his plan after all, his failure. If the ship was sinking Sokka would go down with it. He needed to prove himself. Katara is a wreck. She can't lose Sokka too, she just can't. With the invasion failing and the unwanted addition of a certain prince, Katara feels hopeless. Zuko desperately wants to prove he can be trusted. He knows trust is something you earn and he'll do whatever it takes. Understanding Sokka's choice to stay behind, Zuko knows just how to earn that trust.
What if Sokka was captured alongside Hakoda and the others on the day of black sun?

Summary
Suki's done trying to make friends in prison. It just isn't practical. She makes it abundantly clear, and most people don't try and push it.
But a fellow warrior isn't the same as a friend. Oh, how Jet loves loopholes.Or: an excuse to write 6k of flirty banter and character analysis because the parallels between these two make me absolutely BONKERS

Summary
"We only have the Boling Rock prison left, Fire Lord, Zuko." The Captain of the guards, Tolkan, told him. "Great, we're nearly done then." He smiled, he guessed that the Captain was aware of the location of the files since keeping them was part of his job. But something in his gaze shifted. His look was calculating, seeming like he wasn't sure how to breach a subject.
"Yeah, but the prisoner records aren't kept in the palace. They're kept at the prison."Or
Zuko and Mai revisit the Boiling Rock. -

Summary
Hakoda eyes her warily. “Why are you telling me this?”
Because Suki is desperate for someone she can rely on, for someone who won’t stab her in the back, and he seems like a person who won’t be able to get on the guards’ good side no matter what he does, and also—“I have friends in the Water Tribe. They wouldn’t want you to have a harder time than necessary.” He reminds her of Sokka, and she misses Sokka with an intensity that hurts.
——
A spin-off to my longer fic “Fuel to the Fire”, but can be read as a standalone, just imagine Sokka doesn’t come to the Boiling Rock when he does in the original.Series
