Summary
[Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.
“Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.
What the fuck?
“Sokka, I—”
Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.
“What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]
Or:
An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.
But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.
Yeah, nah.

Summary
"Can you at least explain how we ended up in the Fire Nation after the war? Or why I’m teaching some kid to throw a boomerang? Or why Zuko was holding my hand?" That last one tastes sour in his mouth. He’s about to fire off a few more, but Katara stops him.
“No, Sokka. That’s what I’m saying. That’s exactly what we can’t do.”
“Well why don’t you just waterbend heal me? Swish swash, two minutes, all better!” he proposes.
“Sokka, I just told you we can’t rush this. Do you want me to mess up your head?”
“Well you’ve never had any problem hitting me in the head with water before now!"
After waking up from a training accident with no memory of the past seven years, Sokka is desperate for answers. But any wrongly triggered memory could risk permanent brain injury. No one will answer his questions about his new life. No one will talk about whatever weird thing is going on between him and Zuko.
Luckily Sokka is the greatest detective and most brilliant mind of his generation (according to himself).
Five times Detective Sokka discovers something he didn't expect plus one time he puts it all together.

Summary
Zuko wakes in a Water Tribe home with no idea how he got there, just the memory of the war balloon burner flickering in his mind.
Naturally, he must have been captured on his way out of Caldera City.
Naturally, he tries to escape.

Summary
Zuko is going to unscrew the bolts inside the cooler and they’ll make their easy escape. Then the guard fractures his rib, and suddenly his fire-breathing isn’t possible anymore. He has to muscle through though for Sokka’s plan, hypothermia be damned.
He looked around, feeling panic set in. Sokka was relying on him to get this done, and they only had one shot, and his breathing hardly generated any heat.
Zuko didn’t know how much time had passed, but he only had a little over half the screws out when Sokka opened the door. The cold was tucked into every pocket of Zuko’s being. It would have been far easier if his hands weren’t shaking so damn much, and it took his left hand holding his right hand steady to get a good grip on the bolts. The small breeze of air that blew in when the door opened felt like a blessing on Zuko’s skin.
“I can take you back to your cell if you’ve learned your lesson,” Sokka said in a deepened voice, standing with his arms crossed. Zuko tried his best to hide the shivers that racked his body.
“I don’t think I have,” he responded.Series

Summary
Zuko doesn't exactly know what came over him when he reached out to stop a hit that was never going to come, because Hakoda is someone who loves his children, and Sokka was never in any danger. One way or another, it happens, and that's all that matters.
"Zuko, may I talk with you?"
"Of course, sir."
