Summary: Jet is persistant to reveal that Zuko is from the fire nation. Pushing Zuko to the limit to get his results. The city no longer save for the three of you, but great news might perhaps persuade you to stay just a bit longer. [series]

Zuko felt a heavy pounding in his head. He tried to sit up, hand pressed against his forehead. Slowly his eyes opened, adjusting to the upcoming morning glow. A blurred figure calling something out. Blinking he tried to focus his vision. With a few blinks became you clearer as your voice. - "Zuko." - you called out worriedly. Shaking him by his shoulder awake. - "Y/n." - he said hesitantly as you helped him sit better up against the wall.

He weakly moved his hand up, touching your cheek brief. - "Princess!" - another voice came through. You leaned closer to Zuko, hands laying on his shoulder. - "He knows you're fire nation." - you warned him. Zuko tensed his expression, pushing you a bit aside for him to see. Jet. Jet stood a bit further away with his crew. Zuko wanted to stand as you assisted him. - "Did you take her?" - he needed to know, pointing at Jet. - "I had to tell her the truth!" - Jet replied.

You saw him get worked up, knowing very well how his temper went. You touched his shoulder, looking up at him. Slightly shaking your head. Zuko grunted soft, looking away. Jet pointed his blade at Zuko. - "He's from the fire nation." - he shouted loud, looking around. Some curious people opened their windows. Others who just stepped outside, stopped to stare. - "The fire nation is here." - he called out pointing at Zuko.

Zuko clenched his jaw. You took his hand squeezing it hard to tone his temper. Some people took a curious look at Zuko before shrugging their shoulder and continuing with the start of their day. His crew looked embarrassed around. - "Jet... knock it off." - one of them said tugging at his shirt. Jet shrugged his arm, throwing his grip off. - "No, I'm telling the truth." - he replied desperately. Some villagers stared questionable at Jet.

You turned to look up to Zuko. He met up with your gaze, untensing a bit as no one seemed to believe Jet. - "Jet... just stop." - another of his crew said between clenched teeth. Some people started laughing. - "The fire nation here? Ba Sing Se is too heavily guarded for them to enter." - one of the villiagers laughed out. It frustrated Jet that no one was listening. People started to move away.

Having enough of empty words. Jet felt his head burst with anger. - "I'll show you." - he called out, pointing with his blade firm at Zuko. Zuko moved a step forward as you tried to hold him back. - "I'm not going to fight you." - Zuko let out. Jet groaned loud. With his blade in the ready, he ran up to Zuko. Zuko shoved you aside, jumping back when Jet came slashing his blade down.

It clattered against the ground. Grunting loud he moved his blade up. Swaying it at Zuko. Zuko kept moving and jumping back to avoid being hit. - "Fight me." - Jet called out slashing his blade down. Zuko stumbled back against a cart with cabbages. Some cabbages rolled off the cart onto the streets. - "My cabbages!" - the vendor cried out. Zuko grabbed a cabbage throwing it at Jet. Jet sliced it in two with his blade when it came his way.

Jet came swingingly with his blade at Zuko. Zuko ducked down to avoid getting hit. Having slightly enough of Jet, he kicked him back. Jet stumbling back on his feet. Regaining his balance quick. Zuko threw a punch his way as Jet blocked it. Standing at the side-line, you watched anxiously. Hoping Zuko wouldn't slip his firebending through it and expose him to the earth Kingdom.

Zuko and Jet were fighting or rather Zuko more deflecting his moves. Jet attacking with a blinded rage. Jet got smacked against another cart with spices. Glancing over his shoulder, he collected some spice powder in his hand. Throwing it at Zuko to blind him. Zuko moved his arm over his eyes, turning away. The spices hitting his arm. Lowering his arm he gave Jet a glare.

You noticed more people had come to look. Whisper to each other and point at the fight. Jet's crew had backed away, not wanting to be associated with him. Jet raged like a mad man doing everything in his might to make Zuko firebend. Zuko fought back with only the strenght of his own body. - "You are fire nation!" - Jet called out with anger.

Zuko remained silent, not enganging with his accusations. Jet grunted loud that he wasn't getting Zuko to show his true self. His gaze fell on you on the side-line, watching with fright. - "If you won't show it, she'll make you." - he said. Zuko's eyes widened when Jet threw a dagger your way. Gasping loud you tried to jump away.

The dagger getting caught in your clothing, pinning you against the wall by your waist. Zuko came running over to you, pulling the dagger out. - "Are you alright?" - he asked touching your cheek. From over his shoulder you saw Jet make his way over. Shoving Zuko aside, you called upon water. Sending a flood to sweep him off his feet. Jet got hit, rolling backwards over the street.

Coming to a stop as a group of mysterious men stood behind him. Two of them grabbed him. Jet looked in a panic around as they dragged him off. - "No, he's fire nation. Take him. I'm not mad!" - Jet shouted but no one was listening. You held Zuko by his arm, watching Jet get dragged away. The townspeople seemed to give it little attention or they were too afraid to look.

Zuko took your hand, leading you away. Not caring who had taken Jet for it served him right. You swallowed nervously, following him on foot. - "Zuko..." - you started wanting to speak about it. Zuko remained quiet, simply tugging harder on you to keep up. You didn't like the silent treatment, but couldn't blame him. - "He saw Iroh heat up his tea." - you told him. - "I couldn't get it out of his head." - you went on out of breath.

He remained silent, dragging you back to the sleeping place. - "Zuko!" - you called out wanting to have any reaction out of him. - "I only seem to attract trouble...I'm really sorry. Maybe I should remain behind to not endanger your task any further." - you finished pained with guilt. Zuko suddenly stopped, turned round and pulled you close to him.

"No." - he answered hugging you tight. You embraced him back with a tight grip. Pulling back, he touched you chin to cheer you back up. The small gesture made you smile faintly at him. The two of returned to Iroh. When you entered he sat down with a cup of tea. Quirking his eyebrow up at the sight of you two. Something told you he thought you'd still be sleeping. He gently blew on his tea when Zuko sat down with a heavy sigh.

"It's good to see you bond. Bonding is good." - Iroh said receiving a glare from his nephew. You joined them quietly. Iroh noticed the silent tension wondering if anything happend. Quirking his eyebrow up once more. - "We can't stay." - Zuko cut through the silence, tapping with his fingers on the table, looking away. - "How so?" - Iroh asked.

You turned your gaze down, pressing your hands between the folds of your dress. - "It just isn't save." - he replied not throwing any accusations at his uncle for heating his tea so carelessly. Iroh drank his tea empty. With a deep sigh he got up. - "I'm in need of tea herbs. Anyone want to join me?" - he asked. You didn't return his look. - "I'll think I better stay in." - you responded not in the mood to get back outside.

"I'll stay with her." - Zuko answered after seeing his uncle turn to him. - "You... you don't have to do that." - you told Zuko not wanting it to be forced. He dismissed your words, sending his uncle off. After a moment of silence, you moved a bit closer to Zuko. - "How is your head?" - you questioned. Zuko touched his forehead, already forgotten about the stomp. He shrugged his shoulders not caring much.

You moved even closer to him as Zuko watched you tentive. - "May I?" - you asked moving your hands up. He slowly nodded. You let water flow from your flask. The water surrounded your hand as you leaned closer. Touching his neck as you brought your other hand to his head.

Zuko closed his eyes feeling the sweet sensation from the healing water. He opened his eyes once more, staring with wide eyes at you from how close you sat to him. Making him swallow nervously. Drawing his gaze down to your lips. You lowered your hand, mesmerized by his gaze. Anticipating the moment. Sucking in a breath, he neared his head.

Tilting it a bit to reach your lips. Kissing them tenderly. Zuko deepened the kiss, holding your cheeks. It was blissful as it made you tug at his shirt. Wanting him even closer. Zuko removed his lips from against yours. His gaze drifting shyly away.

You turned your posture more to the centre. - "Where will we go then?" - you asked drawing a circle on the table with your finger. - "I'm not sure yet." - Zuko replied his gaze on your hand. Debating if he should take it. His hand was already going half-way up to you. Pulling the last second away when his uncle barged in. Panting. - "The avatar is here." - he breathed out.

Aang Convinces Zuko to let him be his Flower Girl

It took Aang weeks of consistent pestering - and maaaaybe a threat or two from Toph - but Zuko finally relented.

With only a week to spare and the season waning Aang begged, borrowed and stole - ok Sokka and Toph did that last part - every fire lilly the Fire Nation had to spare. Calling in a favor, Iroh arrived from the Earth Kingdom with more moon blossoms than they could count.

"A thank you for saving Bosco." Iroh explained.

The day of Aang hurried, gliding from ledge, to roof top, to balcony checking that each barrel was secured and held enough water to keep everything fresh. And all to soon the moment arrived.

The crowd rose as Katara appeared and Zuko's heart begun to race, his palms turning clammy. All eyes were on her, but a familiar whistle carried on the breeze pulled his gaze up. A wide grey eyed smile found him on the rooftops above, Aang flashed him a quick thumbs up before stepping off the ledge glider in hand.

Wind wound around the guests racing down the aisle it fanned Katara's long locks behind her. With a smile and yell she quickly waved at the gliding shadow passing above. It must have been some kind of signal because the lines of barrels suddenly erupted in streams of sparkling red and white, showering the throng of guests.

Before him the cheers of the crowd were deafening as they vied for a glimpse of the Avatar above. But he could only see her. Katara, taking advantage of the commotion, made her way to the alter.

Zuko met his bride under the fine rain of petals, taking her hand in his, "What's going on?"

"Your flowrer girl." Katara laughed, "He knew you'd be nervous and that you hate being the center of attention. He said the fuss would give you 'breathing room' "

Knowing his friend was right Zuko scowled, a chuckle slipped past Katara's lips and she kissed his cheek, "Come on hotman, let's get married." pulling him towards an amused Pakku and a beaming Iroh.

The crowd eventually calmed and the ceremony started, but off to Hakoda's right Suki nudged her fiance, "Does Aang know he's doing this for our wedding too?" she asked quietly.

Sokka grinned, "Not yet, but he will."

If Zutara isn’t canon EXPLAIN THIS:

Yeah *strikes an alpha pose*

[oceanview15]

Zuko: Katara, something changed when I was standing at the end of that tunnel. Something shifted.

Katara: What tunnel?

Zuko: You know, yesterday. The tunnel, the lightning, the brush with death.

Katara: Oh, ok, sorry. Go on.

Zuko: What terrified me most was all the things I hadn't done.

Katara: -Like a submarine?

Zuko: What?

Katara: I remember you talking about how much you wanted to go in a submarine, but I always thought-

Zuko: Yeah, I looked into it, but it was so expensive.

Katara: Really? How much?

Zuko: Could I just finish my point?

Katara: Yeah, go ahead.

Zuko: What terrified me most was all the things I hadn't done, and all the things I hadn't said because I'd been too scared, or... or too nervous. And...

Katara: Are you all right?

Zuko: I like me, Katara!

Katara:

Katara: Sorry?

Zuko: …

Zuko: You! Shit! You. I... (sighs) I like you, Katara.

Summary: Reader is Zuko's sister. You and Sokka always argue and fight. You keep infuriating Sokka as you won't leave his head, something he can't stand. Certainly not from a fire nation girl. When one encounter leads to an almost kiss. It draws a line when some guy starts flirting with you, leading to Sokka to show you just how infuriating you are to him.

Appa roared deep, flapping his tail up. Aang petted his furred friend as Momo sat on his shoulder. Katara was poking in the fire to keep it going. Sokka arrived with new wood. His gaze fell upon you from afar. Near the cliff were you practising. Performing graceful moves without actually bending. Your performances calm and at peace. Anything but what Sokka was used to seeing a fire bender do.

Mostly their sequences were brutal and hard. Their fire filled with anger. You seemed odd among them. Anger wasn’t what filled your bending. It was a combination of being soft and tough at the same time. Something your uncle Iroh taught you when you were younger.

Sokka threw the wood on the ground, startling Katara. – “Hey.” – she called out annoyed.  – “Sure let us prepare the fire while princess fire nation over there is just dancing.” – Sokka outed gesturing at you. Katara sighed loud. – “Can you only ever complain?”

Sokka grumpily sat down on a log. Glaring your way. Aang approached them holding a bag open. – “We’ll need to stock more food.” – he held the bag upside down. A fruit fell out as Momo immediately jumped for it. Sokka shooed Momo away, picking up the last fruit. – “And that isn’t for you!” – he called out to Momo who flew above his head. Katara got up holding her hand out to Aang. – “I’ll go see if a town is nearby.” – she suggested.

“No, no.” – Sokka answered getting up as well. – “Let fire girl over there do something.” – he pointed at you from afar. – “Her name is Y/n.” – Katara answered crossing her arms. Sokka came closer to her. – “and I don’t care.” – he outed with a sarcastic smile. Sokka whistled loud catching your attention.

You stopped your practise, making your way over. Sokka snatched the bag from Aang’s hand, tossing it at you. You caught it  as he was aiming for your face. – “We need supplies.” – he said bothered. – “Please.” – you responded wanting him to ask nicely.

Sokka puffed loud. – “I didn’t know you had manners.” – Sokka answered. – “Unlike you I wasn’t raised in an igloo.” – you responded loud. – “Yet I’m not the one banished.” – Sokka fired back. – “Sokka!” – Katara called out, shocked at his rudeness. As a response you threw the empty bag at Sokka. It bumped against his chest as he moved his head back to not get hit in the face.

“Apologize right now!” – Katara insisted with a sisterly scowl. Sokka looked back to you, seeing how his words made you feel. Somehow he felt a bit guilty for being so cruel. Yet he didn’t act upon it. He took the bag in his hand. – “I’ll just go by myself.”  - he spoke turning away. Momo flew on top of Sokka’s head making him stop with a deep sigh. – “We’ll all go.” – Aang spoke to maintain the peace.

The four of you entered the woods in search for food, hoping you’d come by a village soon. You were walking behind Aang and Katara when you noticed Sokka falling in step with you. – “No bending.” – he simply said to you. You mimicked his words like a child, teasing him. – “Oh real mature princess.” – he responded.

 “I’m just lowering myself to your standards.” – you answered with a smile. Sokka stepped in front of you, making you stop all of the sudden. He was brazing, glaring down at you. Your words annoying him. Sokka was glaring at your eyes, his face inches away from yours. His gaze fell down to your lips. He caught himself stare at them, making him turn away.

You gasped breathlessly, slouching back as if you were about to pass out. Sokka caught up with his sister, wanting to be as far away from you as he could. Looking briefly over his shoulder to you, falling in line. Grunting soft, he hated how much you messed with his head. Your presence consuming his mind as if you never wanted to leave. No matter how many times he casted you out. It infuriated him.

You were from the fire nation. Zuko’s sister, the one chasing Aang. The one who caused his village pain. – “You know you can just be nice to her.” – Katara spoke looking briefly at her brother. Sokka sighed loud. – “She’s from the…” – he outed as Katara finished his words in a voice that mimicked his. – “fire nation.” – she then giggled at her own imitation of her brother.

“Not funny.” – Sokka said annoyed as it made Katara just giggle more. Sokka looked over his shoulder again, seeing you chat with Aang.

Katara nudged him hard in the side. Sokka tore his gaze away from you. Some twigs snapped underneath his shoes. – “Aang needs her.” – she told him. – “I know, I know.” – Sokka sighed out. – “Then…” – Katara began as Sokka shushed her. She glared at him a bit for cutting her off. – “Don’t shush me.” – she said annoyed, moving her hands to her hips. – “Stop talking.” – Sokka told her, his focus elsewhere.

Katara groaned loud as he covered up her mouth. It was the only thing he thought would shut her up. – “Why have we stopped?” – Aang asked confused. Sokka was looking at every direction, listening in to nature. His eyes widened when he saw a fireblast fly their way. It hit a tree trunk close to them. – “Fire nation!” – he yelled out. The four of you started to run as more fire benders came from out of the bushes. – “It’s an ambush.” – Katara outed, puffing loud. – “You think?” – Sokka responded to her sarcastically.

Aang swayed his stick across, sending an air blast at some fire benders.  Katara stopped a moment to bend some water out of a puddle nearby. Letting it whip against a fire bender. Sokka grunted as they couldn’t outrun them. They needed to stand and fight. He pulled out his weapon, standing ready.

A fire bender was coming your way as you deflected his fire blast by ducking down. You then kicked at him. He stumbled back making you punch his stomach a few times. Sokka ducked down a punching arm, punching the man in his stomach. He then pressed the back of his weapon on his back. The man dropped to his stomach with a loud oof. He saw fire blasts coming your way as you kept avoiding them with just manoeuvring.

“What are you doing?” – Sokka called out to you. You looked back at him confused. – “Bend!” – he outed, stating the obvious. You kicked a guy away from you. – “You told me not to bend!” – you shouted back at him. Sokka jumped back from a blast. – “Just do it!” – he insisted upon annoyed. Suddenly you smiled with a new set off attitude.

Performing a sequence you conjured fire, attacking your fellow fire nation soldiers. Aang jumped above your head, landing in front of you as he flashed a blast of air at them. You moved back assisting Katara. – “I got it.” – she breathed out. You nodded at her. Looking over your shoulder, you saw Sokka getting cornered.

You ran over to him just as a blast of fire was coming his way. Sokka’s eyes widened seeing the blast come his way from his side. You jumped in front of him, arms forwards, palms pressed together as you split the blast in two. The fire flared beside Sokka and you. Sokka blinked stunned at you. You then attacked with fire of your own. Sokka was staring at you, admiring you despite his infuriation with you.

He was so caught up with you, that he hardly saw the punching fist come his way. He jumped back, avoiding the hit just in time. He was about to knock the soldier on his head with his weapon as a blast of fire pushed him away. Sokka looked confused, till he turned his head. Seeing you in a position, one fist out, panting. You had once again protected him. Sokka smiled admiring at you till his expression turned to shock. You were hit by a blast, sending you rolling on the ground. – “Y/n!” – Sokka called out.

You came to a stop, panting loud. Forcing yourself to get back up. Just as you almost stood up straight, were you hit with another surprise blast. It was if the soldiers were turning their anger towards you. One of their own fighting against them. You got hit as the blast pushed you back.

You screamed when you felt a loss of ground under your feet. An in-sinking in the ground made you slide down the hill. Tumbling and rolling down, you met with the ground hard and fast. – “Y/n?” – Sokka called out concerned. He threw his boomerang at the soldier, hitting him in the head. His boomerang returned as he caught it. Running up to the way where he lost sight of you. – “Y/n?” – he panted out nearing where you last where.

Sokka felt the ground underneath his feet crumble away. A scream caught in his throat as he slid down, arms swaying around. On the ground, you groaned in pain. Slowly pulling yourself up by your elbows. Your eyes widened seeing Sokka slide down. At the bottom, he came to a sudden stop, his chest falling forwards. He fell forwards falling hard against your chest as your back smacked the ground again.

Sokka groaned soft when he set his hands beside you, trying to pull himself up. He lifted his head up, his gaze catching yours as he paused. Paused as his face was inches away from yours. Heart pounding loudly as you were captivated in his gaze. Sokka’s gaze went down to your lips  as it made you feel shy. He neared his head a bit as you sensed he had an urge to kiss you. Your gaze flashed up and down from his eyes to his lips and back. If Sokka was about to kiss you, you wouldn’t protest. Sokka felt himself fall deeper, drawing closer to you. What if he wanted to kiss you in this moment. Would it be that bad?

You were bringing your chin closer to him to decrease the distance. Sokka slowly closed his eyes, feeling his lips tingle with the urge. A gush of wind caught him off guard. His eyes flashed back open, suddenly aware of what he was doing. He rolled over, away from you just before Aang landed down. – “So here you are.” – Aang said. You were staring at the sky, panting loud. Feeling extremely hot that Sokka was this close to kissing you.

Katara had climbed down joining Aang. Sokka had gotten up, dusting some dirt off him. Aang decided to head back to Appa and search a town from above. All of you agreed, walking back to Appa. You climbed on Appa, sitting at the back. Avoiding eye contact with Sokka. Sokka was staring down at his own hands.

Katara looked from you to Sokka. – “Is something going on between the two of you?” – she asked. – “No.” – Sokka answered loud. You lowered your head on Appa’s saddle, watching the scenery you were leaving behind. Momo came landing on your head, laying himself down.

Appa roared loud as he descended. Aang had spotted a town. A small village at the edge of the earth kingdom. Appa landed as all of you climbed down. You held the empty bag following Aang into the village. There were many curious heads turning at your friends. They certainly stand out with their watertribe attire and air nomad clothing. You didn’t receive that much attention as you were earth kingdom clothing.

You had left your fire nation clothing long behind. The moment your father banished you after Zuko’s banishment, you gave them up. There was no hope in finding a new home when you wore enemy clothing. Zuko had been given an ultimatum to return. You never did. Not acceding his expectations and questioning the flaming fist of his way of ruling led to your banishment.

The youngest of your siblings, apart by just one year with your sister Azula. You saw more to fire bending then power and anger. Fire could be beautiful if one found a balance between them. Harmony. Your father found that a weakness. Soft. Not something he could have in his daughter.

You went over to a stall where they sold fruits. Sokka’s eyes fell upon a different stall, making his way over to it, without his friends knowing. You bargained with the owner for some of his best fruit. Katara wondered where her brother was, spotting him at a stall that sold herbs. She furrowed her brows, watching her brother buy a patch of leaves. He turned around holding a little patch as he suddenly noticed his sister watching.

Sokka cleared his throat from afar, moving the patch behind his back. It made Katara quirk her eyebrow up. He joined the others once more letting his sister know to stop staring to weirdly at him. – “Look Y/n a herb stall!” – Aang pointed out. You turned your head to look as well. – “You can make that delicious tea of yours again.” – Aang said pushing you towards it.

“Actually…” – Sokka started feeling the patch in his hand. No one heard him as Aang was too enthusiastic to show you the herbs. Aang pulled you to a stop after having pushed you all the way over. – “Anything you like?” – the owner asked as you looked at his products.

“Do you have any jasmine leaves?” – Aang asked for you. – “I certainly do boy.” – the owner answered. – “Actually I…” – Sokka began wanting to let you know he already bought the jasmine leaves. The owner presented Aang with a patch of jasmine leaves. Aang nudged you to accept them. – “Aang we really don’t need them.”  - you told him. – “Of course we do, you love jasmine tea.” – he encouraged you to take them.

“Your uncle taught you to make it.” – Aang added with a smile. – “Y/n I…” – Sokka spoke wanting to place a hand on your shoulder and reveal his patch to you. A new pair of hands grabbed the patch from the owner. – “I’ll pay for her.” – all of you turned your head to a boy. He smirked flashing a wink at you.

His wink baffled you as you weren’t used to that kind of attention. The boy tossed some coins in the owner’s hand. Sokka got shoved aside as the boy wanted to be closer to you. He held the patch up for you to accept. – “You really don’t have to…” – you said feeling a bit embarrassed someone paid for you.

“Nonsense.” – he grabbed your hand, facing your palm up, placing the patch in your hand. – “Anything should be paid for a pretty girl like you.” – he finished. Sokka puffed with a roll of his eyes. The boy slid his arm over your shoulder, moving you away from your friends. – “You look like a girl who likes tea.” – he spoke as Aang followed behind him. – “How does he know.” – he asked happily astonished that he had guessed. – “We literally stood by a herb cart.” – Sokka answered bothered.

The guy was leading you to a tea shop. His arm was still around you as Sokka found himself glaring at it. Katara and Aang clearly unbothered with Sokka’s concerns. – “Has anyone told you, your smile is like a blossom on a spring day?” – he said. It made you touch your lips shy. – “No.” – you answered. Sokka tensed his jaw. You were about to enter the tea shop when a pull on your wrist pulled you to a stop.

You slowly turned as Sokka had taken a hold of your wrist. Aang, Katara and the guy walked further in. – “Something wrong Sokka?” – you asked confused. – “Are you seriously following a guy like him? Just because he flashes a smile at you and gives you a compliment, you girls fall hard.”

You smiled teasingly. – “What’s so funny?” – Sokka expressed loud. – “Nothing.” – you answered with a shake of your head. – “You are cute when you are so worked up.” – you patted his cheek teasingly. The guy came standing behind you. – “Are you coming sugar?” – he asked placing a hand on your hip. Sokka saw it almost making him lose his mind. – “She’s not!” – Sokka stated clear, grabbing you by your wrist. – “Hey!” – the guy called out when Sokka dragged you away. – “Sokka… Sokka.” – you breathed out as he kept pulling you away.

He went into an alleyway, pushing you against the wall. Sokka groaned loud as you could only stare confused at him. He turned around, grabbing you by the waist as he pressed his lips on yours. Eyes wide with shock, you blinked startled at the touch of his lips on yours. He pulled away half angered at himself for kissing you.  – “Why are you so infuriating.” – he outed. Sokka noticed you were still holding his patch with herbs so he slapped them out of your hands.

“Hey!” – you called out as Sokka gave you his with some roughness. – “I bought these because I knew you liked them.” – he told you. – “I don’t know why I bought you them, because I shouldn’t. Certainly not for a fire nation girl!” – he went on. – “So why do I care for you. Why can’t I get you out of my head, and why did it bother me that, that guy was hitting on you!”

You smiled coming up to Sokka. – “Oh hush.” – you told him, grabbing him to kiss him. Sokka gladly accepted your kiss, holding you by your waist. – “You are cute when you get worked up over things.” – you told him, making him smile sheepishly. Sokka held you again, kissing you once more just because he could. Certainly now when he made peace with himself and simply let himself fall for you.

Look you can’t dismiss Zukka as a crackship when they, overall, had more positive interactions with each other than many other fanon Zuko or Sokka ships that are taken more seriously because they’re het.

Like okay, you’ve got

the episode 1 armor parallel

 Sokka saying “if there’s one thing I know about Zuko, it’s that he never gives up”

Zuko’s time at Western Air Temple where Sokka’s the only one who’s helping him to his room and even smiling at him.

Then we get TWO WHOLE EPISODES(TWO) of Zuko and Sokka working together extremely well and the narrative itself showing how they complement and support each other positively.

Need I talk about the tent scene, yes its funny but also Sokka felt comfortable enough with Zuko at that point that he talked about his mom with Zuko.

The SWORDBENDING KAI

the fact that Zuko, Sokka and Suki become a little sub-trio during Ember Islands

the Search comic where they’re the only ones awake and they’re talking about family.

every zukka shipper knows this one, *ahem* “The prince and the fool, is that all you were, or were to one another?”

If we’re talking on Zutara terms, Zukka is equally as valid. Like yeah it’s funny as a dynamic but also, it’s not like this is completely out of nowhere. There’s stuff in there that backs up the ship rather well.

I think overall, Sokka saw Zuko as more of a person? The crystal caves thing put Zuko on Katara’s shit list, rightfully so, but it’s because Katara’s an idealist and sees the best in people. Unfortunately it goes the other way, she’s a lot more black and white about people than Sokka. Like if it were Sokka in the crystal caves and Zuko had pulled the mom story, Sokka would empathize but he’s not going to trust Zuko in any capacity or see him too differently unless he showed results.

Like he knows to some extent Zuko’s capable of good and even says that just being capable of good isn’t enough. He needs to show it. Zuko betraying them in the Ba Sing Se definitely would’ve pissed him off but like, to some extent, he’d have seen it coming. Sokka’s always been more nuanced on the morality thing than Katara and Aang. Which is why I think he more quickly was willing to give Zuko a chance at the Western Air Temple. Zuko was acting on his ability for good. Sokka being a skeptic actually helped them a lot(oh, Jet my boy).

Anyways Zukka rights

the moon will sing a song for me (i loved you like the sun)

zutara month, day seven: divine intervention, @zutaramonth.

summary: when zuko takes the lightning aimed for katara, it takes a little more than her usual healing to get him back from the brink. feat. yue's words of encouragement and empowering influence on katara, medically necessary bloodbending, and a zuko who is too out of it to understand much of what is going on, but that's okay. katara has him.

content warnings: general references to violence and wounds, nothing more explicit than the show.

notes: title is from "the moon will sing" by the crane wives. yes i do too many lyric titles. no i will not stop <3. idk when sozin's comet officially ended but for fic purposes we are imagining the timing makes sense for the moon to be out after the agni kai. two pieces of dialogue were taken from the show.

Zuko groans as he's being turned over. His bones feel like liquid, his skin set alight, his heart like a crater in his chest.

Katara, he thinks, he tries to say, he doesn't know.

Katara looks at him with a worried expression, her lips turned in a frown, her eyes wide with fear and sadness as she presses a watery hand to his crumpled, prone form.

She is worried but alive. She is alive, and if she is here, then she must have defeated Azula.

Katara is alive. That is what counts. This was his destiny, then. To save her.

It wasn't a bad note to end on.

Zuko closes his eyes. There's a hammering thud in his chest. He is so tired. Normally, he'd associate the feel of it with exertion, or else desperation, and he would feel frantic. But he is so tired. He has been so tired.

"No," he thinks he hears Katara say. It sounds like she's underwater, or perhaps he is. "No, Zuko, don't you dare."

He struggles to open his eyes again because he doesn't want her to sound so angry with him and doesn't want her to be sad. It only feels like a moment has passed, or maybe it has been hours.

She is looking up. Pale, yellow light shadows her.

Katara is speaking with the moon.

The moon is also a girl.

Someone told him a story like that once.

A spirit, he thinks a little redundantly, with white tresses of hair and a glowy form and a gentle smile. The moon spirit?

Zuko jerks, a spasm of his body as he lights up again with the pain, and Katara looks back to him, alarmed.

"—but you know another way," the moon-girl insists softly to Katara, whom Zuko looks at as her mouth sets in a thin, determined line. Unless he's imagining it all, which is possible. "And I am here with you now."

After a moment's hesitation, Katara nods and sets her left, water-encased hand against his chest again and raises her other in a motion he faintly recognizes.

"This is going to hurt," she says warningly, sadly. "But it will help. I think. It has to." She shakes her head, torn.

Zuko doesn't know what's going on, but if Katara says it will help, that's all that really matters.

"I trust you," he slurs. Is that him? Does he sound like that?

Katara blinks. Zuko watches tears slip from her cheeks.

And then, it starts. She did not lie about it hurting. Despite himself, Zuko feels his body rising from the ground in pain and panic, and Katara has to keep him pressed down. His blood is boiling, his chest swelling. This must be what dying feels like. But then, he's pretty sure he was dying before. He supposes it's a process.

"—sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry—" Zuko makes out the words, faint in his ears, though Katara sobs them out.

Eventually, though, the beat of his heart evens. His blood begins to simmer down. The pain melts.

He watches as Katara pulls back, resting on her knees. The moon-girl smiles down on them before fading back into being just the moon, high in their war-torn sky again.

Nothing that just happened makes any sense, Zuko decides dazedly. But it was Katara who saved him, and that made all the sense in the world.

"Thank you, Katara," he rasps, looking up at her through heavy eyes. Looking at her made everything in the world seem alright again.

She looks down at him with a soft expression and a watery smile.

"I think I'm the one who should be thanking you."

Katara: I can’t believe you made us late, and messed up my lipstick!

Zuko: You have to take a little responsibility. Tarting around in that little soft, pink robe, not expecting to get kissed.

Katara: Tarting around?

Zuko: I'm only a man, Katara! Pink robes are my catnip!
