I was just thinking about how adorable it is that humans write au fanfiction. Like: Wow I love these two characters and their relationship so much so;

Let them fall in love as mermaids, as spies, as pirates and vampires, in space, in medieval times, in a zombie apocalypse, as hockey players and figure skaters, at a flower shop or coffee shop, the list could go on forever

I like to think of fanfiction collectively as a multiverse where all of these stories happen and they fall in love over and over again in many different lifetimes because I’m a sap like that

Okay that’s all

SUN, MOON, AND STARS - chapter three

a zukka mythology (not greek) au, ft. mutual pining, not-really-slow-burn-but-also-kinda-maybe-slow-burn, happy endings, dragons, azula <3, and the battle, where ozai is as much of a dick as usual! rated teen, chapter 3/4, x words so far.

The day of the battle approaches quickly and mercilessly. All too soon, Sokka finds himself standing in a large, deserted, barren plain a few miles away from Senlin Village.

“It’s almost sunrise,” says Zuko quietly from next to him.

Aang nods and stands up from where he’d been meditating. The dozens of people behind him stir as well, preparing for the impending fight.

“This is it,” Sokka murmurs, finding his head turn to look at Zuko.

Zuko nods, meeting Sokka’s gaze with his own. The rumbling grows to an almost unbearable decibel, and Zuko leans closer to speak directly into Sokka’s ear. “I’ll see you on the other side.”

Sokka swallows, nods, and takes a deep breath. Then, gathering his nerves, he turns and gathers Zuko in the tightest hug he can manage as the ground shakes below them. “Stay alive for me, okay?”

“Only if you stay alive for me.” Zuko hugs back even tighter, and the ground splits open with a roar.

SUN, MOON, AND STARS - chapter two

a zukka mythology (not greek) au, ft. mutual pining, not-really-slow-burn-but-also-kinda-maybe-slow-burn, happy endings, bonding, toph threatening hunks, Haru’s Fucking Mustache, and everyone’s favorite dilf! rated teen, chapter 2/4, x words so far.

Sokka gets kidnapped by Toph.

Literally.

also, they go to the south pole, visit haru, teo, + the mechanist, and receive some bad news. not necessarily in that order.

SUN, MOON, AND STARS - chapter one

a zukka mythology (not greek) au, ft. mutual pining, not-really-slow-burn-but-also-kinda-maybe-slow-burn, happy endings, dubious drinks that may or may not consist of frog eggs, and turtleducks! rated teen, chapter 1/4, 7342 words so far.

Sokka vaguely remembers ghost stories told around a crackling fire from when he was younger - formless spirits that would lure children away from their families, malevolent gods that would flip boats over, dragging their prey underwater - but he’s intrigued enough by this man to temporarily disregard any and all advice to stay away from Ozai and his family.

So he stays sitting and watches as the Yokai Prince stalks over to the opposite side of the table, flopping down into the seat in a decidedly un-princely manner.

zuko & sokka won my patreon poll this month

[ID: Two colored sketches made to look like FaceTime calls. The first one is of Bato, Hakoda, Zuko, Iroh, Piandao, and Sokka. In the first square Bato and Hakoda are looking down at the camera with their eyebrows slightly raised. In the second square Zuko is looking down at camera and you can only see his nose and eyebrows. Iroh is also with Zuko, but you can only see his forehead. There’s a text bubble to the left of the square coming from Zuko that says “Is that Sokka?”. The third square is blacked out and above it is written ‘Piandao (has phone to his ear). The fourth square is of Sokka with a blue hoodie on and pulled tight around his face. He’s looking up and away from the camera and talking. Above him is a text bubble that says “Hi guys... I just filled up my water bottle and missed all my dads”.

In the second image is a FaceTime call between Katara and Sokka. Katara is looking to the left and has her mouth open like she’s mid sentence. Above her is a text bubble that says “Dad and Bato turned your room into a gym”. Sokka is in a rectangle in the upper right looking at the camera with an eyebrow raised. Below him is a small text bubble that says “What..?” End ID.]

I feel like Sokka would be the type of college student who calls home a lot saying whatever little thing he just did as an excuse to talk to his family. Piandao does not know how FaceTime works but he loves talking to Sokka ���️
