Au idea where the gaang kids trying to setup their uncle sokka with azula. Mainly Bumi's idea and they just all go along with it, while Izumi thinks it's not going to work cause even if azula and sokka are cordial with each other she can still hear the hint of disdain and sarcasm when they talk to each other. Then there's Lin who says Sokka's heartbeat spike up whenever Azula is around while Tenzin will argue it could be out of fear 😭. Kya will just say fuck they should atleast try.

I know this will never happen in your dragon fic, but I'm kind of curious. How do you think things would work if Katara and/or Sokka somehow gained the same ability as their partners to go back and forth between being humans and dragons?
Sokka and Katara would be water dragons opposed to fire dragons so they aren't as big as the others in dragon form and can't breathe fire or fly. Thankfully, the ocean is nearby so they can figure out things there. They discovered their wings are meant for swimming (much like penguin wings).
If it happens at home, Hakoda and Kya would immediately rush them to the Fire Family's house. Ursa would be glad to teach them how to manage the shifting and being a dragon. She's also thrilled there are more dragons.
The siblings would have a hard time adjusting to the heighten senses though. They have to wear ear coverings for the first couple of weeks before getting used to it. Katara gets especially upset when she accidently rips up one of her dolls with her claws. They would also face more discrimination being both foreigners and "demons" now.
On the brighter side, Sokka would enjoy hunting with Azula in the forest and Katara would love sunbathing with Zuko. In return, the water siblings will try to teach Zuko and Azula how to swim. Fire dragons don't mix well with water, so it doesn't go too well. Zuko and Azula opt to sunbath on the sand whenever they go to ocean. All four of them would love rough housing especially now that the fire siblings don't have to hold back as much.
Also, Ozai would help Hakoda and Kya dragon proof their house and how to cuddle the pups without throwing out their back (much). They'll move to the lighthouse to be right at the ocean and away from prying eyes. It's also easier for the Fire Family to visit in dragon form.
Thanks for the ask 💖

I failed… because I needed you far more than I needed safety and peace.
I will come to you. I will see you again. I will set you free, even if you don't want me to do that. I will meet Hotaru, too. I will hold the two of you, and I'll never let go of you again, come what may. The world won't get in the way again. I know it won't.
So, here are my favorite lines from Sokka's letter to Azula. To read to full letter, you need to visit Chapter 345. I liked so many parts of the letter, but it would be too many edits. So I decided to share the ones I liked the most.
I would never fight you, not in this way. I would never let anyone bring you harm, either.
I hold your necklace every night
Every day spent recovering, waiting, preparing my next move, is a day I grieve over how badly I need to be near you again. To think we've as good as spent a whole year apart, Azula… the very concept is unthinkable. I could barely survive a day without you. You mocked me for it many times, didn't you? Even when you didn't, you would tell me I needed to learn to live without you, or so… turns out I haven't, believe it or not, even after a year. I can't shake off this anxiety. I can't shake off the fear of failure. I can't put aside my dread that I won't ever see you again.
… you have a place in the Southern Water Tribe, should you want it. There's so much I should be able to share, but I'll run out of parchment at this rate. Believe it or not, you've become the Tribe's hero in many ways.
I was terrified that you'd be alone, but if she's there, that's at least one small respite,
Her mother is safe, by the way. So is her fiancé. Him and his friends stand with me now. I know that might come as no relief for you… but it might be good for you to know they escaped the Fire Nation's reach. Maybe we'll fulfill our old promise still, huh? Maybe we'll be able to share another meal, the four of us, once again. Guess we might be more than four people by the time we can meet again… but you know what I mean, right? Of course you do.
Hell, this stupid parchment should be longer. They told me it was the biggest one they had. I don't buy it. This is frustrating. Everything is without you. I wish you could answer, but I know that's impossible. I settle for believing, for hoping, that you'll be able to read this letter and know that I'm still thinking of you, across every single day of this miserable life without you. I won't ever stop longing for you. My energy resonates with yours still. I feel you deep inside me, underneath my skin, in my heart and soul. I don't know if you feel me the same way… but I can only hope so. I can only hope that I'll see you in my dreams again. That soon, those dreams will become reality once I hold you in my arms again. The one hope that keeps me afloat, amid all this darkness, is that I'll be returning to your light one day.
I love you. I'll always love you. Don't forget that, no matter what comes next.
#sokkla#azula#sokka#hotaru#gladiator edits#gladiator moments#edits#*dreams*#screencaps:piandao#what touched me the most might be him saying him Azula Song and Rui Shi will sit and share a meal again *-*#it was their last good moment#and one of the best in the whole story#at least Azula and Song had some good moments#I mean after Hotaru all was better for them

From Zutara to Sokkla - Narrative Framing and Hypocrisy
Something that boggles me about the fandom is the complete double standard between Zuko and Sokka vs Katara and Azula.
A pretty noticeable example is how we frame the infamous “I’ll save you from the pirates” scene versus the Day of Black Sun.
The infamous pirates scene is often lauded (or condemned) as the birth of Zutara. Fans allege the tension between Zuko and Katara is palpable, and that their attraction is clear.
But let’s consider:
Katara isn’t a realized bender yet. She can’t defend herself. She’s surrounded by hardened adult criminals with weapons who have it out for her, and two firebenders (like the man who killed her mother!) who have been pursuing her doggedly, one of whom has shown he is quick to use violence even against civilians and the elderly.
Zuko dangles Katara’s necklace in front of her, the only item she has left of her mother, and threatens to take it away forever if she doesn’t sell out her friends.
If you want to read romance in this harrowing scene, feel free. It’s fiction and I’m not the morality police. Have fun!
What bothers me is the hypocrisy in how people frame this scene by comparison:
Consider this: Azula can’t bend. She’s unarmed. She’s pinned to the wall and has no means of escape. Her enemy is armed, is the architect of this invasion, has an army outside ready to follow him, and is currently flanked by an unstoppable earthbender and the friggin Avatar!
Azula is using herself as bait to protect her father (and ostensibly Zuko) knowing her life would be in terrible danger for minimum of 8 minutes. During which the enemy can do anything to her. The Fire Nation has done a lot of harm and there are surely many soldiers out there who would love to take their revenge on the Fire Nation’s pretty little princess who conquered the “impenetrable” capital of the Earth Kingdom.
The show goes out of its way to inform us that Azula is an expert at hiding her emotions. She can even fool Toph’s lie detector. Why?
Many people misinterpret this as a sign that Azula is an emotionless sociopath or whatever ableist pop-sci ideas they have about ASPD.
In reality, it’s the opposite. Azula being an expert at hiding her feelings is made clear so that we understand why she doesn’t look terrified, or vulnerable, or sad, or hurt until the finale when she finally cracks and her facade slips.
All she has at her disposal to protect herself is her wits (she had a knife and some Dai Li, but she has neither by this point). She smartly uses what she knows about Sokka to exploit his weakness and buy herself time. She’s so good at getting under his skin (which takes a sophisticated level of weaponized empathy) that even after he figures out what she’s doing, Sokka still can’t help himself.
This is all she can do to protect herself and her father. We as the audience know that Sokka and Toph aren’t going to kill or maim her, but Azula doesn’t!
So why in the world was this scene received as traumatic for Sokka?
Fans will claim that Azula’s mind games in this scene left Sokka with lasting trauma. That this is emotional abuse.
But who is the one pinned to the wall with no way to defend herself? Who is the one with weapons to threaten her with, and powerful allies who have it out for her?
If Sokka experienced any lasting trauma from this altercation, he sure never showed it! Sokka never seems to think much about Azula at all outside of wanting a rematch when it’s presented at the Boiling Rock. And even that is due to his feelings of inadequacy after the invasion. He even makes fun of Suki for being captured by Azula! Doubt he would do that if she had genuinely been tortured or if Sokka had been so traumatized by this scene.
Suki: Are you trying to get on my bad side?
Meanwhile, Katara does seem to have lasting trauma over her repeated altercations with Zuko. She talks about how he chased them all around the world threatening them. She refuses to trust him after he betrays her and fears he will get Aang killed. Zuko did hire an assassin.
In what universe can we read Zuko and the pirates threatening a helpless Katara as “romantic” but the scene with Sokka and Toph threatening a helpless Azula as “traumatic for Sokka”?
Only a universe where we have already subconsciously decided we are on Zuko and Sokka’s side.
These scenes can only be read that way if we have already decided Zuko isn’t that bad regardless of how Katara feels about what he does to her, and that Azula is pure evil regardless of what anyone does to her.
It’s a world where both Azula and Katara’s feelings are ignored.
If you want to read the pirate scene as romantic? Have fun. Enjoy your fics. It’s all good.
But let’s not pretend Zuko is some pure woobie in this scene that just needs some Katara loving, while Azula is some fearless psychopathic monster that enjoys putting herself in danger as long as she gets to “abuse” Sokka.
There’s a reason these two scenes exist this way. Katara and Zuko are parallels just as Azula and Sokka are. Katara and Azula are foils just like Sokka and Zuko are.
Fandom can and should do better by Katara and Azula. They deserve just as much consideration and empathy for their suffering and unmet needs as their brothers do. Even if Azula was a villain - so was Zuko for most of the show!
And as a pretty consequence, I can say this: Zutara and Sokkla are equally viable.
Goodnight, shippers.

I love water sibling/fire sibling ships in any combination because the gist of it is always "me and the water baddie I pulled by being a mentally ill teenager with violent tendencies poorly concealed self-hatred and parental issues"

Sokkla!
Princess? What are you doing here?
Saving your ass from the bad guys, obviously.
Ha! you kidding? I'm winning!
Sure you are, dear.
It's been so long since I made art for them, and two days ago, I had a scene of a protective Azula, and well.... Also, Sokka's abs, lol.
