hello, i love your art so much! can you do 11C with zuko?
Tumblr media
i went a little extra with this one (thanks for the sweet ask!)
[ID: a comic featuring Azula, Zuko, Suki, Sokka, and Haru from Avatar the Last Airbender. In the first panel, Azula glares at Zuko and asks: "Brother, what are you looking at? Are you even listening?"
Zuko stares dreamily ahead, with a blush on his cheeks.
A closeup of Azula's eyes as she sees what Zuko is admiring. "Oh."
Suki, Sokka, and Haru are shown, and there is a brightness and focus on Sokka. They are dressed in athletic gear, and Sokka is grinning and gesturing as the other two smile and watch on.
"You're a fool, Zuzu," Azula finishes. /End ID.]

college zukka roommates where its 3 am, sokka walks into their dorm and sees zuko playing every version of “please, please, please let me get what i want” with candles light all around his side of the room and notes that say “passing grade” on just about ever surface while zuko is sleeping
(sokka turns around and closes the door to go bother suki into letting him stay in her room for the night)

cryptic and machiavellian ('cause i care)
Tumblr media
AMAZING BEAUTIFUL AND SHOWSTOPPING ART BY @lnuns !
This is my chance to look back. If Sokka had turned around to catch a glimpse of Zuko walking away, just to take in who the name belonged to, it would be Zuko’s sign to pursue his ignited curiosity. It would be a sign that they both wanted to know more. This glimpse would be the single moment in which Zuko either let this go, or let this consume him entirely. So, he did what any normal person would do if their future depended on it. He stopped to look over his shoulder. Or, a Zukka college AU inspired by the song "Mastermind" by Taylor Swift.
HELLO EVERYONE! I am happy to share with you my work for the @zukkabigbang2024 : cryptic and machiavellian ('cause i care), a college AU based on the song Mastermind by Taylor Swift :3 HUGE PROPS to my lovely & crazy thorough beta reader @kartoonkrazy who worked endlessly with me through schedule changes and helped shape this story into what it is.

I genuinely couldn't have done this without you guys, thank you for believing in this vision <3 I present you the first three chapters of this fic—expect the remaining six chapters over the next handful of Fridays! I hope you guys love it as much as we do :))
TAGS: Alternate Universe - College/University, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - No Bending (Avatar TV), Slow Burn, Eventual Romance, Happy Ending, Obsessive Behavior, This is like a romcom except the romance takes a minute and Zuko is not laughing, Friends to Lovers, OR: Zuko keeps 'bumping into' Sokka and Sokka doesn't seem to mind, Title from a Taylor Swift Song, Song: Mastermind (Taylor Swift), Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Implied/Referenced Child Neglect, Mention of past car crash and parental death (Chapter 7)

Zukka as roommates
Sokka: *Engineering major* - working on his third project of the week
Zuko: *PoliSci major, literature minor* - hanging upside down off his bed - “You’re from the south right? Do you think otter-penguins have feelings?”
Sokka: “I understand that you’re royalty but I will literally pay you to shut the fuck up”

Okay so College AU, Sokka, an engineering major juggling his undergrad studies, takes on a side gig as a math tutor in the library. On the flip side, Zuko, a philosophy major, has confidently avoided math classes. One day, while wandering into the tutoring section of the library, Zuko is star struck. A pretty boy is here and he’s teaching math?!
Intrigued, Zuko starts attending the one-on-one math tutoring sessions. He begged Mai to share her calculus homework with him, providing him an excuse to spend more time with Sokka. Sokka is very obvious to all of this. He doesn’t mind helping Zuko, he actually looks forward to it a lot, but by GOD somebody needs to get Zuko out of a math class. This boy isn’t going to make it in stem.

That Midnight Sky
read it here on ao3
In Zuko’s strict family, needing a tutor is just about the worst thing you could do. Failing a class, however, is even worse. The only rational solution? Take up Aang on his offer to find him a physics tutor and have Sokka—beautiful, smart, handsome Sokka—tutor him in secret.
When Azula’s arrival threatens to reveal Zuko’s secret, it’s up to Sokka to convince her this definitely isn’t what it looks like. See, he’s actually… Zuko’s… boyfriend?
Hmm. There’s no way this could get complicated, right?

It was as he was staring at the stranger in his kitchen that his hand decided to stop doing hand things and drop his keys. The set clattered to the floor jangling all the way down, alerting the stranger of his presence. Quickly, Zuko snatched them off the floor just in time to see the man turn, a grin spreading from ear to ear on his face.
  He was covered in flour, sugar, was that...egg? In his hair? It occurred to Zuko as he took in the sight of the mess coated man that his entire kitchen was a mess, decorated wall to wall in miscellaneous baking ingredients. No counter had been spared, no cupboard untouched, the place needed either crime scene tape or a wet floor sign, Zuko wasn’t sure which. He shifted his attention back to the strange man after surveying the extent of the damage, the intrusive urge to commit murder suddenly present in his mind once again.
  alternatively
 Katara's brother comes to visit unannounced, but...wait since when did Katara have a brother? and more importantly, since when did Katara have an insanely hot brother?
Chapter 10 has been posted (:

confession casualties 
+bonus
Tumblr media
[ID: A comic of Zuko and Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They are dressed in modern winter clothes, and Zuko is wearing Sokka’s water tribe scarf. It is snowing. They are walking with their shoulders touching, and as Zuko talks, Sokka stares at him fondly.
“Azula said someone could smack me on the back of the head, and I wouldn’t realize they were into me,” Zuko says. “She’s crazy, right?”
With a smile on his face, Sokka hits Zuko on the back of the head, and Zuko cowers and makes an outraged expression. “Ow!” Zuko said. “Why the hell did you hit me?”
Sokka puts one arm comfortingly around Zuko’s shoulder. “Sorry man,” Sokka said with an apologetic look. “I thought I…saw a mosquito.”
“In winter?” Zuko said, with a confused expression on his face.
In the background, Toph snickers. “He did say it wouldn’t work,” she said.
The bonus comic is Sokka and Zuko studying at a table. The caption at the top reads “1 Week Later.”
Sokka drinks water, and Zuko calculates with a confused expression.
Zuko yells: “Holy Sh*t!” and hits Sokka on the back of his head, and water sprays everywhere. “You like me?!?” he said.
The final image is Sokka facedown on the ground, and Zuko standing over him.
“I like you too,” Zuko says.
“Y-Yay,” Sokka says from the ground, and small hearts float above both of them. /End ID.]

zukka college where they spent the last year nonsensically hating each other and now theyre roommates
they go crazy the first month trying to spend as little time possible in each others presence until one night sokka is up really late studying for a test playing music and zuko walks in, stunned sokka is still up, and listens to the music.
its “his music”. why was sokka listening to what zuko would listen to ?
and so he asks sokka whats up with the music choice “surely you would listen to anything else ?”. but sokka shakes his head and says “nope.”
zuko goes to lay down and when sokka gets up to go to the bathroom, zuko puts a bottle of water and a can of some energy drink on the desk for sokka before falling asleep.

Zukka modern AU where they all work at an ice rink:
- Zuko and Azula have been ice skating their entire lives and have done a lot of competitions as children
- after the scar thing Zuko and his uncle moved and Iroh reconnected with an old friend who owns the ice rink (Piandao)
- now he sells tea there and Zuko teaches kids how to skate
- Katara is manager of this whole mess because I can't really imagine her on skates but I very well think she was born with a clipboard
- Sokka is part of the college hockey team that trains there (defence)
- Mai and Ty Lee are defying gender norms and do ice dancing together (slay)
- Suki and Toph are playing hockey for fun because Toph would definitely be a goalie and Suki would scare every single one of the guys on the college hockey team
- Aang is referee and skates for fun
- Jet is the weird kid that hands out the renting skates
- anyways, Zuko has too many kids in his class so Katara signs Sokka up to help him teach
- they initially clash because Sokka really wants to be Zuko's friend but he comes in a little strong and Zuko is very awkward
- but they eventually manage and Zuko is very impressed with Sokka's teaching skills
- Sokka says: "bitch, hold my hockey stick" one way or another (no you don't get context)
- Sokka really wants to learn ice dancing so Zuko teaches him (or tries)
- Katara takes matchmaking upon herself and arranges a same sex ice dancing competition and Sokka jumps at the chance to skate with Zuko

uhm zukka/zuko/sokka enjoyers would you guys be interested if I were potentially to start posting a fic (on Ao3) I’ve been chipping away at. asking here because I haven’t actually posted on Ao3 before and idk what it’s like over there.
anyway it’s a Zuko centric (but with much Sokka, and appearances from the Gaang (including Suki) and naturally Iroh) hero/villain/vigilante slash modern college au that follows the two boys when they accidentally end up roommates in the same dorm sometime in the equivalent of Season 2 Ba Sing Se and decide to go with it because they both think they can get information from the other. meanwhile in the wacky world of vigilantism Sokka ends up tailing a mysterious vigilante he’s heard is called The Blue Spirit because the guy seems to be active in the area, supposedly saved Aang’s life once, and if he’s a good guy, he could be a useful ally to take down Ozai, corrupt super-powered politician and secret lead of the city’s crime underworld.
Sokka has no powers/bending, Zuko swears up and down that he does (even if he can’t firebend, not like his sister or father or anyone else, even if he can’t really prove it right this second), and I’m working on a superpower system that is largely based on the Avatar spirit world. It’s a relatively slow burn, but we’ll get there, and I will be doing my best to give theatre kid Zuko justice. I’m working on main themes rn but I also hope to dip into sub-themes exploring disability, sexuality, and healing, and there will be an eclipse.
I have the plot outline and various details of the whole story, I’m most (probably?) of the way through Chapter 1 (4000 words and counting), and I’d probably start posting once I finished up the chapter and also decided on a title.
Kataang will also feature relatively canon compliantly :3 and also major character death. mostly temporary but i might change my mind

Zukka fic list part 2
On ice we fall (in love)
Zuko and Sokka rivals to friends to lovers slowburn competitive figure skating AU.
Foolsong
Zuko is an idiot trying to get over a breakup, Sokka is a hockey boy, and online dating isn't really that awful.
Blue
Iroh insists they create a new life and identity in Ba Sing Se. Zuko wants nothing more than to bide his time until his next opportunity to return home, until he realizes ‘Lee’ can get away with things Zuko never could.
Zuko dons the mantle of the Blue Spirit again only to los e his focus when the Avatar comes to the city. This time, however, his attention is drawn to the annoying Southern Tribe warrior.
winter solstice: an addendum
Zuko gets imprisoned with Sokka and Katara during the winter solstice, and some very unfortunate things come to light. Alternatively: the gaang kidnaps adopts Zuko in book one after discovering just how awful his father is.
I'll Come Back Someday (For You)
“We’ll be together someday. I won’t stop looking until I find you again.”
Those words, Sokka thought, were a blessing.
After living through several lives without Zuko, they now feel like a curse.
They were the last words Sokka muttered to the Fire Lord on his death bed after saving Avatar Korra from an attempted kidnapping, and while he meant them, he didn't know that they would come true.
Yet, he tried, tried, tried again, and after cycling into his fourth life, he's starting to give up hope.
All until he walks into the Jasmine Dragon right next to Republic City University's campus.
(i'm sorry but) i'm just thinking of the right words to say
Zuko is the last person Sokka expects to end up as his roommate when he starts college. Sokka is the last person Zuko expects to befriend when he starts his whole life over. And no one who knows a thing about their shared past expects them to end up together. Except, maybe, Toph.
There's Bound To Be A Ghost At The Back Of Your Closet
Zuko needs a new dad, and Hakoda volunteers. A story spanning Zuko's old life, new life, and beyond
running right back to you
the air conditioning stops working at the Jasmine Dragon, and it's miserable until a cute stranger makes it a bit more bearable
Sorry, I Have to Move to Alaska!
Following a lengthy legal battle with Ozai, Iroh has full custody of his niece and nephew. Desperate to get Zuko and Azula away from Ozai (just in case) Iroh buys a tea shop in Anchorage, Alaska.
Sokka has been living in Anchorage since birth and nothing interesting ever happens in this city. Except less than a month into this school year, the mysterious new kid with a facial scar beats up a well-known student in first period.
purrfect for each other
because sometimes, it takes going to a cat café four times to realize you're in love with your best friend
The World We Dream About
A HS Theatre Kid AU where the gaang is in Hadestown, featuring all our favorite high school nostalgia moments and way too many tropes
when i'm set alight
“I’m going to go practice some firebending forms,” Zuko says stiffly, running a hand through the tangles in his hair. “Tell Aang to join me if he wants to once he wakes up.” Gold eyes dart up to where Aang had strung up a makeshift hammock and was still sleeping soundly, snoring like a buffalo yak.
“Alright,” Sokka says, watching as he walks out without another word, evidently having reverted back into his usual brooding self. “Have fun!” He calls after Zuko loudly, which he means to be sarcastic, but comes out painfully, embarrassingly sincere. His face burns, and as soon as Zuko passes out of sight into the the temple, Katara turns to him, leveling him with a Look.
“You like him.” She says, and it’s not a question.
Born Lucky
Zuko knew this would happen one day.
He really should've prepared better.
Of course, he'd imagined something like this many times. He'd see him-- or anyone from high school, really-- and he wouldn't even be recognized. They'd be immediately enamored with him and wouldn't even pause to think he looked like that one girl from high school.
Instead, he has a 24-year-old Sokka cradling a swollen wrist and smiling awkwardly up at Zuko.
like we're made of starlight
When former High Imperial Prince and Sith Acolyte Zuko defects to the rebellion Commander Sokka is tasked to keep an eye on him and bring him into the fold.
