hmmm... what if... in a modern divorced zukka au.... Zuko tries to propose as a last ditch effort to save their relationship... and although sokka knows this won't work he still accepts... because part of him hopes hopes hopes it will work... and after realizing how the stress of the wedding is actually making it worse... they either a) break off their engagement or b) one is left at the altar (but now matter what, they still keep the items of their engagement)... going to bed now, thanks
Tumblr media
ahhhhhh.....modern divorced zukka? they could actually get divorced that way...
the tragedy of accepting knowing it wont work is wonderful, tho...and keeping the items....oof

If you haven’t read “feels like we only go backwards” by oldpotatoe on ao3
Do I envy you. I wish I could read that thing for the first time again. How did I miss this craze in 2020. This is the best thing I’ve ever read.
Perhaps I will draw something from it bc Oml.
Edit: GUYS WHAT WAS CHAPTER 19 IM CRYING IM DYING IM RIPPING MY HEART OUT.
also how did no one catch the marvel reference at the end.
Edit numero dos: My therapist will be hearing about the events in Chapter 23. WHAT. LIKE. WHAT. LIKE WHAT THE ATCUAL. LIKE.

DogBird is Zukka Coded
Sorry that I’m scared of thunder like a dog I know that you love rain
I’ve seen fics where Zuko loves the rainy season because it reminds him of his childhood but I raise you Zuko being afraid of storms due to trauma because what comes with thunder (lightning which two of his family members have tried to kill him) with each roll of thunder his scar burns. On the other hand I think Sokka would find the rain interesting coming from a place where it only snows, now that he doesn’t have to worry about camping in it he’d be able to see more of its beauty.
But I cry when something shakes the walls Tail between my legs I scratch while you relax Ruffling feathers watching storm clouds pass
Zuko has so many problems beneath the surface that come out at night as he can’t help but dream of them. Sokka to Zuko seems perfect, seems like he came out of this fine, relaxed he might even comfort Zuko when they happen. Zuko worries he’s ruffling Sokka’s feathers that he’s damaging him or at least inconveniencing him.
Hoping I’ll make you hate the thunder too Digging in my claws will make you hate me too
Zuko can’t help it though. He lashes out. He tries to make Sokka hate him sometimes because that’s what he deserves
I can’t stand you in my bed You’re too gentle I need you to hurt me back instead
Zuko’s not used to the gentleness that Sokka provides. He grew up in a household where hurt was common and love was less so. He knows he’s hurt Sokka and he doesn’t understand why Sokka won’t hurt him back. He needs Sokka to do it so things make sense.
I wish I could take you back to California Where you’ve never heard of creatures like me Little Bird won’t you fly away Little Bird won’t you fly away
Zuko doesn’t understand why Sokka sticks around with all that he’s done. He thinks it would better if he just stayed in the Water Tribe where he didn’t have to deal with any of the Fire Nation’s problems
And sorry that I roll over to my folks It’s not that I’m ashamed But they keep me on the leash to choke
Zuko feels bad that he keeps their relationship secret. He loves Sokka so much and he isn’t really ashamed of it. But years of his family and nation telling him that all this is wrong isn’t going to go away instantly. His advisors likely also urge him against making his relationship public as it would make his rulership even more unsteady.
I’m a hunting breed And bird is all they eat If they sniff you out, they gnash their teeth
The Fire Nation is a warring country. Zuko was taught for years to see Sokka as lesser, as something to be consumed to better the nation. He knows this aspect of his nation. Many of the Fire Nation nobles probably don’t respect Sokka.
I’m a coward scared of living outside Even if it means I crush you at my side
Being sent outside is a punishment used on misbehaving dogs which is the analogy used for the first lover (Zuko). Zuko’s afraid what the Fire Nation would do to him and Sokka if they found out about their relationship so he pushes Sokka away at social functions
When the bell rings My mouth waters I’m a habit That won’t alter
This lyric is so Genius it’s in reference to the Pavlov’s dog experiment. Zuko has behaviors that his dad instilled in him that are still there because they don’t just go away.
I’m an instinct Don’t you fear me? Hunting songbirds in my sleep
Zuko doesn’t understand how Sokka doesn’t fear him all the time despite what he’s done. This would be made worse if Sokka had nightmares about when Zuko hunted them (hunting songbirds in his sleep) Sokka doesn’t consciously fear Zuko but his subconscious still remembers being a kid who constantly feared sudden attacks.
Sorry that I don’t treat you like I should I only lick my wounds
Zuko feels bad because he can’t be everything that Sokka needs. He never really learned how to be soft and how to comfort Sokka. Sokka’s always there for Zuko after a nightmare but Zuko doesn’t know how to reciprocate especially considering he’s part of the cause. He only ever learned how to treat his own injuries which also makes it hard for him to accept when Sokka tries to help him.
Teeth bared, and snap “You’re all that’s good”
Zuko is convinced that Sokka is the only thing good in this entire relationship, the light of his life, he doesn’t bring anything good to the relationship, he’s nothing good
If I chase you away I’m back to chasing tail Running circles after what was real
If Zuko with all his jagged pieces convinces Sokka to leave him he’ll be back to chasing hopeless dreams of honor, and of earning love from everyone in his nation
And maybe one day I’ll catch it, and I’ll cry Wishing that little songbird was still mine
And maybe someday he will gain the love of all his nation, all the assassination attempts and the uprisings are over, but he’ll still have lost one of the only people who loved him unconditionally despite all his wrongdoings and harsh features
This song was too perfect for Zuko with its narrative of lashing out because of the homophobic household that Dog grew up in.

Because you asked somewhat nicely:
"of course I love with, we've been friends for ages" for Zukka
They're all sitting around in Aang and Toph's living room playing Debate. The current two debaters are Toph and Sokka who are currently arguing over the best type of chair, using all sorts of situations and googling random facts to back up their argument. Alcohol has been flowing freely all night and and they're all a little more than tipsy as the argument continues.
Zuko is watching with such rapt attention, watching the way the words fall off of Sokka's lips, the way his eyes brighten at every new challenge Toph gives him, at the wild gestures he makes with his hands. He's so captivated by this site, he doesn't even realize that Katara has come to sit next to him.
"You totally love him," she whispers in his ear.
Zuko immediately jerks back and looks at her, surprised that someone had caught him staring so intently. "What are you talking about?" he can feel a flush starting to spread across his cheeks at having been called out, but he is going to feign innocence. "Of course I love him, we've been friends for ages, he's my best friend."
She gives him a small pitying look that makes his stomach sink, "You know that's not what I meant," she chastises. "You haven't taken your eyes off of him in the last fifteen minutes, since they started arguing," Katara jerks her chin in Sokka and Toph's direction.
He looks back over at the two, they're standing now, the argument getting heated. Aang is trying to get in between the two of them, his attempt at keeping his laughter at bay is failing, but he finally manages to get the two to sit down on opposite sides of the living room and call it quits. Sokka meets his eye, laughter dancing on his lips as he shoots him a look before looking away to engage with Suki in a conversation.
"Maybe I was just really captivated by the argument, did you ever think of that? Plus," he traces Sokka's jaw line, at the curve of his shoulders, the definition of his arms, "I'm not gay." Katara doesn't say anything to this, just lays her head on his shoulder.

Now, Sokka could clearly see Zuko’s face, and he was amazed to see how much the boy had really changed. The ultimate proof of his transformation was in his eyes, finally free from their usual fierce rage... and more beautiful than ever. Those gold eyes had haunted Sokka since the very beginning, since the day Zuko almost burned down their village. He had tried his best to supress his feelings, but now that Zuko became a different person, they came back stronger than ever. At the worst possible moment.
...
When Sokka gets attacked by Combustion Man, he is unexpectedly saved by Zuko. The two of them manage to take the attacker down together, but Zuko gets badly injured in the process. As Zuko’s time is running out, the two of them finally share their previously repressed feelings for one another.
Hey so remember the angsty idea I told y'all about? 👉👈
(Please read the warnings!)

Thinking about Sokka and Zuko loving each other but they both know that because of their responsibilities and positions they’d never be able to be together, so to protect each other it’s always just this unspoken thing, and they’re both often left wondering if it’s all in their head, and the other doesn’t feel the same way, then one day Zuko finally gives into the pressure and gets married to a woman of his advisors and the royal council’s choosing, and Sokka’s there because of course he’s there he’s always going to support his best friend. And he’s happy for him he really is, he’s so happy that Zuko’s happy, because Zuko is happy, right? All he want’s is for him to be happy, even if it’s not with him, which why would it be? It could never be with him. But as long as Zuko’s happy, he’s happy. Or at least that’s what he keeps telling himself.

Do NOT think about Zukka x Cardigan by Taylor Swift unless you want it to envelop your soul
~
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
~
Them getting so close leading up to Sozin’s Comet and then growing apart again after because of their respective duties
Mutual long distance reminiscing and pining over what could have been if they had met as emissaries of their nations in a peaceful world.
Zuko helping with the reconstruction effort and finding boomerang, Sokka building a fire and only being able to remember the warmth and smell of Zukos bending
They were both so young, so young, too young for the world to have been placed on their shoulders. They knew it was their responsibility, even now, they uphold their duties with straight backs and faces. They know, they know, they know it could never work, I mean- they never even confessed to each other.
But not even the brutality of war can stop children from dreaming.
