    Summary

    [“Well, I already have the plans in place to be back mid-June,” Zuko says, firm. “My classes won’t be started yet, so I can be there to—”

    “Don’t worry about it,” Aang repeats, laughing. “There’s plenty of time!”

    Which is true in its own way, two and a half whole months until the little sucker arrives, so Sokka isn’t quite sure why hearing Aang say hits him in the gut quite so hard.

    Must be that indigestion.]

    OR,

    Sokka and Zuko have been roommates and best friends through college and graduation, through first jobs and new jobs and promotions, through friends getting married and sisters being pregnant and everything in between.

    But that all ends in four days.

    Four days to pack up an apartment. Four days before Zuko goes to law school and Sokka stays behind. Four days to untangle two lives that Sokka and Zuko have spent ten years weaving together.

    Can you call it a divorce, if you were never actually together in the first place?

    Summary

    [“—So when you lost consciousness and fell down like an overwhelmed Victorian woman—”

    “I fell normal!” Sokka protests, trying to get off the ground and allowing the EMT to stop him. “I fainted in a normal way!”

    “You put the back of your hand to your forehead and spun around,” the EMT says, dry, snapping a fresh pair of latex gloves onto his hands.

    “That never happened,” Sokka protests, feeling his face coloring despite himself. “I fainted in a normal or maybe even masculine way.”]

    Or,

    Sokka passes out at a carnival. Zuko is his EMT.

    Summary

    [I’m not looking to fuck right now, but my bathroom sink is currently flooding the bathroom

     

    I know it’s kind of random, but can I borrow a flathead screwdriver by any chance?

     

    I don’t really know my neighbors and you’re the closest person to me on grindr

     

    That’s…yeah, that’s new. Sokka flicks quickly through the profile, trying to decide if it’s a joke or some slang, or a reference he’s missed and finally shrugging, because,

    Yeah, he types out, why not]

    OR,

    Sokka has a new neighbor who needs some plumbing help. A lot of plumbing help, as it turns out.

    If only he could figure out if that was a euphemism.

    Summary

    [“It is a good thing to have, armor,” Uncle murmurs, shaking his head as he looks at the damage to the backplate that was probably from…the third time going through a wall, maybe, and Zuko knows he’s concussed when he nearly responds you have no idea out loud before managing to yank that thought back, too.

    Zuko knows all about plausible deniability, after all.]

    OR,

    Zuko keeps meeting the warrior again and again. Keeps crashing into the warrior. Literally, sometimes.

    And he knows he should be focusing on the Avatar, on regaining his honor, on what he's supposed to do. But from Kyoshi Island to the Earth Kingdom flats to Ba sing Se, somehow Sok—somehow the warrior is always there. Masked and hooded, fighting and grappling, straining for position, sometimes the only touch Zuko knows until he has it again.

    Which is the only reason Zuko can’t stop thinking about it, of course. The only reason he can't get it out of his head. The only reason he can't stop wondering how much further they can go and still call what they're doing fighting.

    Summary

    [“You already know how this will end,” Sokka mumbles as he lets Zuko back him through the door, “Right?”

    “Mhm,” Zuko says, eyes intent on his lips.

    “We’re gonna—we’re gonna get divorced,” Sokka says as Zuko kicks the door shut behind them.

    “After years of long distance,” Zuko agrees, fingers skimming up Sokka’s sides.]

    OR,

    Sokka and Zuko have a habit of pulling off bad ideas.
