Summary
Sokka has been hated and abused his whole life for being a firebender, so when the Fire Nation comes to abduct him, it turns out to be a blessing. Everything changes when he meets Azula. Befriending the damaged princess, Sokka will learn that his new home is not nearly as perfect as it seems.
Meanwhile, Azula has never forgotten seeing her brother Zuko get murdered by their own father. Ever since, she has done everything she could to survive, even if she hates herself for who she's become. Befriending Sokka sets her on a new path, but will she continue to obey her father, or choose to make a stand against the war?
Everyone believes Zuko is dead. Little do they know he lives, trapped in a Fire Nation prison camp. There, he will discover the true cruelty of the war and suffer in ways he never imagined. When he finally returns to the Fire Nation palace, he will have to decide whether to enjoy happiness with the people he loves, or risk everything for a chance at stopping the hundred year war.
Sokka, Azula, and Zuko have all suffered terribly, but by finding strength in each other, they have a chance at ending the war and bringing peace to the world- if only they have the courage to try.

Summary
During the Day of Black Sun, a bolt of lightning meant to kill instead forges an ancient soul‑bond between Zuko and Katara. Now tethered by volatile forces, they must navigate the final months of the war as reluctant partners—sharing emotions, memories, even nightmares—as they fight not just the Fire Nation, but their own grief and guilt. As their bond intensifies, separating past pain from their future becomes nearly impossible. This connection could save—or destroy—them both.

Summary
He missed when Azula would sit by him at the turtleduck pond, practically hanging off of his every word, instead of throwing fireballs at the pond when he was near to see his beloved animals get cooked.
He missed when Azula would waddle after him, a small, rare gummy smile on her face, instead of hurt him in traps of words and fire.
He just… missed her.

Tides of a New Moon by TheMistyBlackCloud

Summary
Avatar Aang is found by the Fire Nation's circus and captured. Acrobat, Ty Lee, interferes and frees him, marking a start of a new journey for them both. Aside from being a survivor of a horrible genocide and his small, though harrowing captivity time with the Fire Nation, leaving terrible scars on the young Avatar, he was already in love with her at first sight. Alternatively Prince Zuko's life is more complicated, not only having to chase them, but on a journey with Katara of the Southern Water Tribe. Their past scars loom over them, past trauma and mutual loss leading to conflicting emotions of all type, that eventually flourishes into a unfamiliar road for both as well. The tone of this is going to be a darker, gritter, more serious, one of the Avatar's universe. (AU)

Summary
”Son, that doesn’t look good. You should get it checked out” Hakoda pointed at Zuko’s angled wrist while he walked Sokka to their car.
“That’s none of your business” Came Zuko’s fiery response.
“Hey! Don’t talk to my dad like that” Sokka yelled at him, gunning for Zuko again but his father held him in place.
“That’s ok Sokka. It’s up to you whether you want take my advice Zuko, and I really hope you do because that wrist definitely looks broken”
“It wouldn’t be if your son hadn’t been acting like an animal” The angry boy retorted.
“I am truly sorry. As an apology please let us drive you to a hospital” Hakoda offered.
“Dad!You can’t be serious!”Sokka complained in the background.
“Ok..” Zuko complied quietly.
Turns out, Zuko’s wrist really was broken. It was a good thing they insisted on taking him to a hospital,but Sokka was still mad and felt he had to explain his side of the story. He couldn’t stand his dad being disappointed in him.
“Dad..I didn’t break his wrist”
Sokka didn’t need to say more before he heard Hakoda’s heavy hearted answer.

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.”
