[Image ID: A series of five traditional pencil drawings of Sokka and Suki from Avatar: The Last Airbender dressed similarly to Derek and Odette from The Swan Princess. In the first, they are young children. Suki crosses her arms and scowls at Sokka. Sokka sticks his tongue out at Suki. In the second, Sokka sits on the ground and scowls. In the background, Suki and Katara happily walk and talk together. In the third, they are older. Sokka lies flat on his back on the ground, his clothes and hair slightly disheveled, and looks up at Suki with an impressed expression. She walks away from him. In the fourth, they are teenagers and walking together. Suki speaks and gestures with one hand. Sokka listens to her and smiles. In the fifth, they are young adults. They are shown in profile from the knees up facing each other. Both smile and close their eyes. They lean together with their foreheads touching and their hands joined. Suki wears a betrothal necklace. /.End ID]

For as long as I remember

We've been told we'd someday wed...

Sukka Week Day 4: Arranged Marriage

Inspired by the beginning of The Swan Princess. Every summer, Prince Sokka and Princess Suki are brought to visit each other, in the hope that when they grow up they will agree to a politically advantageous marriage. Unfortunately, Suki thinks Sokka's annoying and Sokka thinks...the way he does in early Book 1 (she and Katara do become fast friends, which annoys Sokka to no end). One year, Sokka overhears Suki discussing her self-defense training and makes a disparaging comment about girls and sports. Suki challenges him to a sparring match right then and there. He accepts and loses within seconds...and suddenly this girl is a lot more interesting! He apologizes, and over the years they spend more and more time together, talking, training, playing games, and genuinely falling in love. The year after they've come of age, Suki arrives wearing the necklace that was given to her family by Sokka's years ago when the match was first arranged.

Sukka Week 2023 Prompts are Here!

There were so many great prompts; thank you everyone for submitting ideas and voting! There were also a lot of ties, so I took some liberties and combined prompts with a similar vibe to make room for all the top votes. Does this mean we technically have like 17 prompts for Sukka Week 2023? Yes, and I am not sorry about it.

And if that wasn't enough, I threw in some wild cards! Because we do have some repeats of prompts from prior Sukka Weeks, I grabbed a few of my favorites from this year's submissions and threw them into the mix, along with a handful of other ideas I had. These are freebies: feel free to use them on any day of the event if that day's prompts don't jibe with you. Or you can ignore them entirely! I hope this will give everyone plenty of fun stuff to choose from.

So! Without further ado...

Day 5: wild card

Finally figured out how to do art on my new phone, so here’s a regency Sukka piece that I’ve been wanting to finish for forever

[ID: digital art of Suki and Sokka in atla inspired regency outfits. Sokka is bent over and kissing Suki’s hand. /End ID]

Happy Sukka Week!

It’s been so long since I’ve posted a fic here that I’ve forgotten how I usually do it. 😅

Here’s a little something for Day 1 of @sukkaweek2022: Eloping

let’s get caught

Rating: T

Genre: Fluff

Summary: Reluctant to leave after an always-too-short visit to Kyoshi Island, Sokka attempts to lighten the mood with a (literal) proposal.

-----

“I don’t want to go,” Sokka whined. From his position lying in the sand on Kyoshi Island’s beach, the whine felt like a plea given up to the stars. Not that Sokka believed the stars were capable of or interested in fixing this particular situation, but he supposed it never hurt to have all his bases covered.

“I don’t want you to go, either,” Suki said from where she was lying next to him. Her plea was not directed at the stars. Sokka wasn’t watching her, but he felt her voice right next to his ear, the warm breath of it, the quiet rasp that toyed with the edges of melancholy.

Suki — his brave, practical Suki — usually kept things light until the moment when they were forced to say goodbye. She typically wouldn’t even let him pout on the walk to the docks; they had to be standing at the foot of the gangplank before she would begin entertaining the idea that he was leaving. But this night, with one more whole entire sleep to go before his departure, the looming separation had crept through.

So now Sokka was sad about leaving and mad at himself for saying anything. Instead of agreeing with him, Suki should have — normally would have — scolded him for acting like they didn’t still have time left. “You’re still here!” she should’ve said, followed by, “Is there a reason you’re not kissing me right now?” A situation he would’ve gleefully rectified.

Sukka Week Day 2: Parenthood.

Zuko is so excited to be an uncle that totally had the court painter paint a portrait of the expecting parents.

Sokka and Suki would be the most amazing parents 🤍

[the-power-of-stuff]

Omgggggggggggggggg I am OBSESSED!!! They look amaaaaaazing!!! 😭😭😭 I love love love their jewelry, and Sokka's armbands, and their subtle yet extremely effective "you really think you can mess with us??" staredown faces. I love Suki's hand on Sokka's shoulder and her little bit of red eye makeup. I love all the warm colors and how comfortable and familiar the two of them look standing side-by-side. They look SO GOOD together. Perfect for each other, really. Thank you for bringing them to life like this!! This is such a treasure. 💗💗💗 (And I'm so happy you liked the fic!! 🥹)

it is done!! @sukka-week 2023 Day 2: An Ocean Apart/Homecoming or Soulmates

pov: you walk into a wedding afterparty thrown by the avatar’s brother-in-law and you see these two on the other side of the atla-world-equivalent of the beer pong table. you immediately know you’re screwed.

click for better quality or see below for closeups :)

this piece was inspired by the early chapters of @the-power-of-stuff’s amazing fic ‘The Words To Keep You’ ! u should all 10000% go read it if u haven’t already!

also also also suki’s outfit was taken from @it-is-sooz-again’s art of the same fic! check it out here :)

i intended to make this piece fit the ‘an ocean apart’ prompt or generally the theme of reuniting. initially i was gonna draw them both separate but they looked too good together. oh sukka the power couple that you are…

some closeups:

hope u like! 😁😁

Rigleen as Sukka!

Day 2 of @sukkaweek2021!! it is parenthood/first born, and I thought to replicate the family picture aang and katara had

[lydiahosek]

[Image ID: A two-panel comic of Suki and Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender as young adults in a modern office setting. The comic is sketched in pencil except for the words, which are written in pen. In the first panel, Suki and Ty Lee are standing at a desk, on which is a vase of flowers. Suki takes a card off of the vase and says, "Every Monday when I show up to work, a bouquet of flowers is waiting on my desk with a note from a 'secret admirer.' It's been going on for three years." Ty Lee says "Wooooooooooow! That's a lot of secret admirers! But what does Sokka think???" In the second panel, Suki smiles widely at the card and says "He thinks I still don't recognize his handwriting." /.End ID]

Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?

Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyyy!

He'll find a new way to show you

A little bit every day

That's how you know

That's how you know he's your love!

Based on this post from @boomerangguy. I'll add a link to the final product when it's done and posted (and the flowers are actually yellow!).

Thank you to our host and all participants for another successful Sukka Week!

[sukka-week]

~ Details & Rules ~

The most important rule is to have some Sukka fun! But here's a few guidelines to help us all have a good time

1) First and foremost, to submit a work for Sukka Week, please tag @sukka-week in your post.

You can also use the #sukkaweek and #sukkaweek2023 tags on your post, but the best way for me to see your submission is to @ this blog (and keep in mind that this blog has a hypen; there's another another blog without a hyphen so just watch out for that).

2) Sukka (romantic relationship between Sokka and Suki) should be the primary ship in your work.

Including other ships in your work is totally fine, but they shouldn’t break Sukka.

For the purposes of this event, poly ships that contain Sokka and Suki don’t count as Sukka. Stories where Sokka and/or Suki are in another relationship towards the beginning but Sukka is endgame are okay! However, the work should contain more Sukka than it does the other ship(s).

3) It's okay for the work to focus primarily on Sokka or Suki as independent people, as long as Sukka appears somewhere (and fits the criteria above).

For example, if I wanted to write a fic that's mostly about Suki's character development after the war, and Sokka appears in less than half the story, but they're still a couple and they think about each other/write to each other/visit each other once in a while, then that still fits for this event!

Or, if I wanted to draw a picture of a grown-up Sokka and a grown-up Foo Foo Cuddlypoops charging into battle, and I put Suki's face in the background with big pink heart eyes, that would also fit for this event!

4) Please tag all your content appropriately!

This includes mature or potentially triggering content like NSFW and violence, as well as content like additional ships.

5) Yes, NSFW content is allowed.

Intimate content should be consensual in nature, and please make sure to follow the guidelines of whatever platform is hosting your work.

As an FYI, this blog will use the tag #spicysukkaweek for any NSFW content in case you’d like to block these types of works.

6) Submissions should be previously unpublished.

One of the goals of this events is to inspire people to create brand-spankin’-new Sukka works! If you would like this blog to promote your existing works, I’m happy to do so during the lead-up weeks prior to the actual event week. Feel free to shoot me an ask or DM with a link.

That said, unpublished chapters to pre-existing works are okay! As are works that are cross-posted to simultaneously-occurring events.

7) If possible, it would be helpful to provide descriptions of visual or audio content.

e.g., image descriptions for fanart, edits, gifs, etc. and transcripts for audio content. I will do my best to remember to provide these descriptions when reblogging if they haven’t been included already.

8) Any kind of creative work goes!

We're not limited to fics and digital drawings! Want to create a new Sukka-Wild-West-AU-themed playlist? Please do! (I'd seriously love to hear what that sounds like.) Got inspired to do some Family-themed incorrect quotes? Have at it! Want to do a podfic of an existing Sukka story that gives you Battle Lovers vibes? That would be beautiful! (With the original author's permission, of course.) Don't feel like you have to write seven different 5k-word one-shots to participate in Sukka Week. (I'll try to take my own advice here, too. ;))

Any questions, comments, or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to this blog or Mod Myargalargan (@the-power-of-stuff) via ask or private message.

And let's have some fun!

day one of sukka week: blending culture (or, alternately, suk’s bi awakening)

[Image Description: a set of six gifs featuring Sokka and Suki from Avatar: The Last Airbender. In the first, Sokka goes to attack Suki by kicking her, but she flings him to the floor. In the second, Sokka looks in distaste at his Kyoshi Warrior uniform. He feels proud for a moment, but then Aang sees him, and his feelings return to distaste. In the third, Suki lunges towards Sokka with her fan, but this time Sokka repels her, and she lands on the floor. In the fourth, Suki stands up, embarrassed, while Sokka laughs and points at her. Suki pinches his outstretched hand. In the fifth, Suki is laying on the ground while Zuko throws fire at her. Sokka saves Suki in the nick of time, dispersing the fire with his fan. In the sixth, Suki kisses Sokka on the cheek, then he touches where she kissed him. End Image Description]

I just found this super cute Sukka Fanart 😻 who is the artist ?😩

[boomerangguy]

Sukka Week may have ended on the calendar, but due to my horrific procrastination habits, I’ll probably be dropping my Sukka Week fics for another week or two! 😅😅😅

Three Weeks Out by GeneralKenobi212

Summary: For Sokka, nothing beats walking into his kitchen in the middle of the night and discovering his pregnant wife gobbling jerky like she’s trying to drive tiger-seals into extinction.

(Well…maybe except making love to her afterwards.)

Rated: E (for explicit sexual content)

Pairing: Sukka

And as a devoted Sukka stan, it would be remiss of me not to take this opportunity to broadcast to everyone who will listen that @the-power-of-stuff, aka Myargalargan on AO3, wrote her own Sukka prego smut fic titled this beauty i’d missed as part of our fic swap…and it’s absolutely incredible! 🤩🤤 If you love Sukka, even just a tiny little bit, you have to go check it out!
