Does Katara ever meet Hakoda and Sokka in your Half Blood AU?

Omg yes!!! That's basically the scene that gave birth to this entire AU, in fact. I love confrontations, family discord, and internal conflict in narrative, so most of my AUs have at least a little bit of that. I don't want to give too much away yet, but Katara, Sokka and Hakoda's encounters are Huge, Important Scenes in the HalfBlood AU.

Hakoda has no idea Kya was pregnant when he left her, so he doesn't know Katara is his daughter when he first meets her. Not for long, though. She looks a lot like Kya, and the necklace around her neck doesn't leave much room for denial once Hakoda notices it.

Sokka had been a part of his father's fleet for years at that point—he will be at least five years older than Katara, already a child when Hakoda met Kya. He will be the first to meet Katara, possibly while looking for a healer for the Southern warriors after a battle, or something like that. Katara would have been traveling with Zuko for a while now, and they're helping a group of refugees when Sokka comes along asking for help.

Sokka knew nothing about his father's lover. The only one aware was Bato, and he disapproved of it because he Hakoda's wife was his younger sister, so their relationship is strained and uneasy.

And Katara doesn't really want to have much to do with Hakoda at all. I'm toying with the idea of Hakoda trying to create a bond between them once he realizes she's his daughter, only to explode in his face once the truth comes out. Or, he could mention Kya early on, maybe whisper her name in astonishment when he notices Katara's resemblance, and she catches up pretty quickly.

Point is, Katara isn't happy, Hakoda is conflicted, and Sokka is facing a side of his father he never knew existed.

Sokka and Katara's relationship is surprisingly easy going, though. They have some issues, of course, especially at first, but they bond pretty quickly. They're nowhere near the relationship they had in canon, but they can get there with enough time.
