#zukki week day 5

[zombiethingy]

a touch of blessing

For the @zukki-week prompt for day 5: "There was only one bed" but now it's THREE people

rated: M tags: modern AU, mutual pining, getting to know each other, oblivious Sokka, drunk dancing, kissing, a blow job, and getting together words: 4,290

Sokka was fucked. He'd done such a great job at keeping his lives separate for the last year, making sure his two best friends didn't meet. It's not that he didn't want to spend every second with both of them all the time, but he needed someone to gush to about how great Suki is, and he needed someone to talk to about his growing feelings for Zuko. And if those someones happened to be Suki and Zuko too, well, that was no one else’s business but his.

Until now that is. Until Katara, his dearest sister, decided to invite both, Suki and Zuko, to her party.

"Oh, and Sokka? They can both sleep in your room, right?" Katara asked. Sokka was so, so fucked (and not in the good way). [Read the rest on AO3]

Summary:

@zukki-week 2023 Day 6: Political complications

“Ugh. You.” One fan came spinning out and lodged itself into the pillar beside his head. “Make it fast.” Sokka stepped out from the gloom. “What did you think you were doing with the Fire Lord yesterday?” “Sparring.” “After that? When you plastered yourself all over him?” “Oh,” said Suki delicately, “I didn’t realise you own him.”

After a protracted civil war, the victorious new Fire Lord sends a call for a new bodyguard across the four nations. A Southern Water Tribesman and a warrior from Kyoshi Island respond.

@zukki-week Day 5: "There was only one bed" but now it's THREE people

AKA they all fell asleep in Zuko's bed after another assassination scare and are about to wake up like this except Zuko actually just might already be awake but is fine to keep pretending to sleep because he doesn't want to disentangle his leg from Sokka's quite yet because... this is actually... kind of nice?

everything has its place (i wonder what space i take)

@zukki-week

written for day 4 of zukki week (relationship negotiations) but this is a part of my pirate au (which is day 5) so i guess take it however you want (be warned that no actual piracy is done)

A few good seconds passed, none of them knowing how to broach the topic. Suki's eyes glassed over with a practiced calm. She should have thought of what to say. She should have known what to say. They'd already danced around it for too long, and it was a miracle they even took the time to sit down to discuss it like adults.

Sokka closed the door to Yue's quarters — the only place on the ship even remotely private — behind the three of them. Suki, plenty familiar with the space, flopped on the bed like it was the most natural thing she could do, while Zuko hovered over her with uneasy, fleeting eyes, before taking a seat beside her slowly, like there was a possibility the bedsheet might burn his ass off. Suki patted her thigh, motioning for Sokka to join them, and he settled with his back against the wall, with his knee pressed to her hip.

In the end, Zuko was the one to break the silence. He was always the blunt one, the one to rip the bandage off and get it over with as fast as possible. "I don't think this is a good idea." 'This' being them, of course. His eyes were set on the blanket Aang had gifted Yue, a poorly knitted thing, well loved by their captain if the rumpled state it was in at the end of the bed was anything to go by.

Daring a look at Sokka, she found him already looking at her. He was expecting — hoping? — she would contradict Zuko, that she would come up with an argument, a sensible solution, an emotionally intelligent response that would prove him wrong.

Could she really when she couldn't help but agree with him?

She averted her eyes.

Sokka'd always been a hopeless romantic.

"Maybe the two of you could make it work, but. I have a responsibility after the war is over, whether I like it or not," Zuko continued after a beat. Right. He would go back to the Fire Nation and fix the damage done by the war as best as one person could and put his country back in the good graces of the world.

After finding out that his uncle wouldn't become the Firelord, Zuko shut down on them, despite respecting his decision. When he betrayed the Fire Nation officially, he gave up on the thought of one day leading his country to greatness. By the time he joined them, he deemed himself inadequate to repair years of propaganda and colonialism. He spiraled into self-doubt for a good few weeks before the crew had a sit down and properly planned how to tackle the issue of the Fire Nation. Now, he seemed to be motivated by this responsibility.

Despite his reluctance, there was a fire in his eyes she couldn't help but look at longingly.

Suki sighed. "I'm not even sure what I'll do after this is all over. Logically, I would go back home and train the next generation of Kyoshi Warriors." Thoughts of Kyoshi Island flowed through her, from before she met Sokka and Katara, from before Zuko's rogue crew found them, before Zhao's destruction touched them. She thought of Hidemi and Shufen and their little Shigeo and Jingyi, who probably wasn't so little anymore, of the warriors' quarters, of food and mountains and unagi. She thought of loneliness and feeling othered, of the elders' decision to refuse aid, which almost led to starvation, of feeling useless in the grand scheme of things. "I don't know, though," she ended softly.

Something heavy settled over Sokka, a sort of finality, a hopelessness she didn't want to think she and Zuko tainted him with. "Yeah, I want to help rebuild my village, maybe even try out for chief after dad retires. I know Katara would have wanted to if Aang didn't put that wanderlust in her, so. Gotta seize the chance before she changes her mind." It felt a little like he was trying to convince himself. To what? To not throw away his future so he could... so he could be with them? She avoided looking at him, again, feeling a sort of shame at her thoughts.

They all avoided looking at each other, still not bringing themselves to say it, instead excusing themselves from the conversation by voicing everything standing between them.

It was kind of pathetic.

Sokka would have said it. He already talked to Yue, and even if Suki didn't know how it went down, she knew Sokka, and how much he felt and how hard it was to keep pushing it down. She knew Yue, and she knew she needed time to find herself, to find the world after living her whole life in a birdcage.

Maybe Suki just needed time, too.

The thought of leaving it all behind and just traveling to her heart's content, of breaking out of the isolationism installed in her by the Kyoshi Island made her feel strangely guilty. The war would end, but it wouldn't truly be over. Healing took a long time and a lot of effort, and starting back up again when it felt like it was all falling apart. She was supposed to be there and help, it was part of her duty as a leader and someone her people looked up to.

But oh, how tempting it was to fuck it all and join Yue, to take her place as her second when everyone would leave to fix their homes into a new normal, to discover everything again by her side like two children falling in love with the outside.

It was a selfish thing to want.

Duty was a hard thing to bear.

"I do... I do like you two. A bit more than I'm comfortable with," she braved out, feeling her heart in her throat. If Sokka could do it, she could. She could face her feelings and get it over with, and maybe after that, she could sleep for the next hundred years like Aang.

"Uhm... me too." Somehow, Zuko surprised her every time. His face was red as a shrimp lobster, the words sounded clawed out, and he frankly looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there, but it was a step forward.

Sokka buried his face in his hands, letting out a whimper. She patted his thigh in sympathy. Taking a deep breath, he uncovered his face, though his eyes were still closed. "I am in love with you!" he raised his voice, loud and clear, as if fearing they wouldn't hear him.

She knew. She knew, but it still felt like a punch in the gut, and warmth began traveling to her head, threatening to boil her brain straight out of her ears. Zuko was in a similar situation, looking at Sokka with big incredulous eyes.

That knowledge had sat in the back of her mind like a coiling snake waiting to strike when she was most vulnerable, but for some time she'd just put the lid over the pot, knowing it wasn't the right time (it would never be the right time). The intensity at which Sokka was able to feel always shocked her.

Tears began pooling rapidly in her eyes, and, in a fit of panic, she slapped Sokka's thigh as hard as she was able in that state.

"Hey! What was that for?" he howled, finally opening his eyes.

"For-for just saying that like that! Jerk!" Zuko snarled in her place, very eloquently, but she agreed wholeheartedly. Being loved was hard to hear, and even harder to accept. She was surprised he didn't straight up punch Sokka for just blurting it out when they barely managed to say they liked each other.

"You're a jerk, jerk," Sokka pouted, rubbing the place she hit him.

"So what do we do now?" Now that it was out in the open, Suki found herself at a loss. The duties that awaited them after the war weighed down hard on their shoulders, with seemingly no future for the three of them together without sacrificing something much grander than themselves.

Zuko, somber as always, pointed out, "There is a possibility one of us might not come back alive."

"I really don't want to think about that right now, Zuko."

Suki sighed, feeling the weight of the world settling on her chest.

"Are we willing to get attached when we know it won't work?" Like it was a certainty that no matter what they would do, it would end in heartbreak.

"Aren't we already?"

Well. Sokka was right, once again.

Second and final chapter for @zukki-week day 5 is up!

I'm mostly excited about it because now I can leave my writing bubble and go belatedly read and look at everyone else's contributions.

fic writer review

tagged by (one of my absolute favourite authors) @dameferre!

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

94! I am slowly creeping closer to that 100!

2. what’s your total ao3 word count?

360, 929.

3. how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

technically nine, but only seven for ao3 - check please, avatar the last airbender, miraculous ladybug, haikyuu, yuri on ice, 2gether the series & cherry magic

(more questions + tags under the cut!)

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

A slap to the face. (viktuuri)

Here in Your Arms (nurseydex)

Re-dib-flip (nurseydex)

It's (not) You (nurseydex)

New York at Christmastime (nurseydex)

anyone else miss the days when the check please fandom was active? i mean... i don't miss the racism i had to see every second of my life, but i do miss writing fic for the boys to combat that racism. and not hating canon!dex. i miss that too.

5. do you respond to comments, why or why not?

listen, why did ao3 make it so that author comments count towards the comment total? I always used to think it was cheating by artificially inflating your own comments now and I can't start now because how will i compare my fic if some of them have double comment counts? i know there are comment threads in statistics but consider - i don't care.

anyway i feel bad because i do feel as if more people would engage with me if i did respond but alas. maths brain won't shut up.

6. what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

the only fic i've written with a sad ending is Goodbye (nurseydex) where Dex confesses to Nursey and gets rejected (rip). It was a prequel to another fic i was writing where they met 5 years after college and managed to get together but i... never wrote the follow up (which i started writing first)

7. do you write crossovers? if so, what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

i write crossovers in that they are inspired by other media but not that characters from both media are present. I have 2 chapters of Checks, Chirps & Cellys (zukki set in the check please universe) up (and yes I am working on chapter three for the anniversary) and I have a Haikyuu x Cherry Magic crossover (kuroken!) ready to go up as soon as I have a free week to post.

8. have you ever received hate on a fic?

yeah so in New York at Christmastime someone told me that it was "abuse" for Nursey's sister to threaten to leave Dex on the side of the road if he was mean to Nursey when the Nurse siblings offered to take Dex home for Christmas since he didn't wanna go to his own family (even though he had been a dick to nursey previously, as per canon). This person left me this comment on CHRISTMAS DAY which makes it better.

also it's not hate but i get a lot of "wow i love this fic which is weird because bi zuko seems so wrong!" which isn't hate but i do take it as hate <3. bi zuko rights but more than that just leave people alone if they ship something you don't. you don't need to tell them you don't ship their ships or disagree with their headcanons.

also also this wasn't on a fic but do y'all remember when the parse stan told me I was drinking the "cool-aid"? Truly my favourite fandom interaction.

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

bitch please can you imagine?

10. have you ever had a fic stolen?

lmao who would steal my rubbish

11. have you ever had a fic translated?

i have! Because I love Adrien too (Alya & Adrien) was translated into Russian! I also have two fics that have been podficced! It's Chow Time!! (Chowder-centric) and Adam J. Birkholtz and the case of the missing clothes (links to translations and podfics at the end of the work)

12. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Anne and I worked together on 2gether 4ever (sarawatine).

13. what’s your all-time fave ship?

y'all are picking favourite ships?

14. what’s a fic you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

okay so the 5+1 fic The long way home (zukki) won't get finished. I don't think I'll ever go back but I loved it so much. It was such a fun concept. It was basically sokka and suki being like "okay can we love you know?" and zuko being like "no! you can't! honour!" and sokka and suki being like "okay! how about now?"

i still want to work on Checks, Chirps & Cellys (zukki) and am trying my best to get chapter three chugging along but i think if we're being realistic... its been eleven months since chapter one and i'm only just starting on chapter three. i don't think we're gonna get to the end on this one gang (unless y'all wanna hang around until 2024)

15. what are your writing strengths?

i don't know what i'm doing i just write a bunch of words and sometimes they're good.

16. what are your writing weaknesses?

i don't know what i'm doing i just write a bunch of words and sometimes they're not good.

17. what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages on a fic?

i think it can be confusing to understand but i do occasionally throw in some better known words into my fic.

18. what was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

if we're counting unpublished, then pirates of the caribbean self-insert when i was ten. the first fandom i actually count is Miraculous Ladybug.

19. what is your favorite fic ever written?

I can't pick a favourite from my own fics so I'm interpreting this as my favourite fic by someone else and it is without a doubt A Mile Away by @dameferre. I remember reading it, a beacon of light in the messy racism that was the nurseydex fandom and just... everything felt right in the world for once.

Hey, Zukki. I woke up sick 🤒 today; send hugs lol! How was your week though? (and don’t just say busy, that doesn’t mean anything 😝) Do you have any plans for the weekend? What is it you even like to do when you’re not too busy teasing boys on the internet?

Aw, poor baby! Remember to get plenty of rest. My week was (sorry I gotta say this) busy. I flew out to the east coast for 5 days and I just got back home two days ago. I’m slowly starting to slow down a bit but things always seem to get wild around me. I recently had someone from my past hit me up and that’s been interesting. Aside from that, pretty uneventful. In my free time I like to travel, cook, read, and hang out with my cat. You know, normal stuff 😸

[zombiethingy]

all i want is the here and now - fucking fuck

For day one of @zukki-week: bi awakening

(It probably makes more sense to read the other part first)

wc: 528 | rated: T (for language and to be safe) tags: modern au, slice of life, feelings realization [AO3 link] [prologue] [next part]

It's the best thing that happened to Sokka. It was a mistake. It's a dream come true. It's torture.

1 week, three days and 5 hours after moving into the perfect apartment with his two best friends, Sokka starts to really question his sanity.

For some reason, he misses Suki and Zuko all the time now. It doesn't make sense. He gets to spend more time with them than ever before, they ate dinner together most days, spent the evenings assembling furniture, playing games, watching movies, or doing their own things next to each other. Their bedrooms are so close, he's pretty sure he heard both of them masturbate at least twice. He's usually greeted by one of them when he gets home and when they get back and he's still working, they'll stick their head in his room to say hi anyway.

He sees them all the time and yet he misses them so much, he has to keep himself from wrapping his arms around them and then just staying there, attached like a pentapus.

Whenever he walks into the living room and Zuko sits at his piano practicing quietly, Sokka wants to walk up behind him, press in close against his back and lean his chin on his shoulder.

Whenever Suki walks through the door, he has to keep himself from sprinting towards her, bundling her up in his arms and spinning her around until she giggles.

He misses those giggles too, the ones he always gets when he hugs Suki.

And then it finally hits him; he sees them more often, but they hug way less. All those hello and goodbye hugs aren't a thing anymore since they see each other so much.

He doesn't miss them, not really, he misses the hugs.

He makes a point of hugging his friends more often. At least once a day, more if he can get away with it.

---

2 weeks, 4 days, and 6 hours after moving into the perfect apartment with his two best friends, Sokka is sure he's lost it.

He still misses Zuko and Suki.

He re-established the hugging into their lives, gets the same amount of or even more hugs again. But he can't get enough of them.

He doesn't really want to let go of them, wishes them back into his arms as soon as the hug is broken, wants to move closer on the sofa when they watch a movie together, wants to stand closer to them when they prepare dinner next to each other in the kitchen, wants to slip his fingers under their soft sleep shirts and really feel them for a moment when they hug him good night, wants to snuggle–

Fuck.

He wants to snuggle close and feel them and bury his nose in their neck and maybe, possibly, just stay there the whole night.

Fuck.

He hasn't felt that much affection and that much of a need to be close in a long time.

Fuck.

He's got a crush on his best friends. Actually, scratch that, he's in love with both his best friends and roommates as of 2 weeks, 4 days and 7 hours.

Fuck.
