Summary
High Sage Kenji blesses Fire Prince Zuko with the resilience of the reed, who bends in the wind and never breaks. When he is done, Fire Prince Ozai narrows his eyes, seemingly displeased by this blessing. But Kenji does not speak for himself; he is only a vessel.
-
The newly-crowned Fire Lord Ozai offers his firstborn son to service in the temple.
This turns out to be a catastrophic mistake.

Summary
Zuko is courting Katara, and with every passing day finds new and insane ways of showing that he would quite literally move the spirit world and earth to make her happy.
In hindsight, it probably would've been better if Sokka had realised he was in love with Zuko at literally any time before this. Or preferably, never fallen for his best friend in the first place.

Summary
“Hey humanoids, cryptids, ghouls, and extraterrestrials: its ya boys, the Ghoul Bros, here with another chilling episode of Cryptid: Decoded, your one-stop channel for digging deep into the weird and strange. I’m Sokka, that’s Aang, and today we’re continuing our series on phantom soldiers and haunted battlefields.”
Or: Sokka runs a podcast on all things strange with his best friend, and remains oblivious for Far Too Long about his new—and Hot™—doctor listening to him religiously.

Are you playing Enya???
- Sokka
[alternatively: Sokka's a video game developer who moonlights as Wang Fire—a lo-fi hip hop and pipa aficionado—on Youtube. When Zuko Huo—heir apparent to the Sozin pharmaceutical empire and bona fide dork—moves in next door, Sokka finds his entire world tilting on its axis.]

Summary
Right after Boiling Rock, Zuko found Sokka sprawled in his tent with a bouquet of red roses, and a ring of romantic candles, and one final rose set between his teeth. With the littlest twinge of envy, Zuko realized the entire display was for Suki.
The point is Sokka's flirting is about as subtle as a buffalo yak. To miss it, you’d have to be a complete and utter airhead.

Summary
Prince Zuko is the son of Fire Lord Sozin. His older brother Azulon is destined to be the Fire Lord. Little does he know that he himself has a destiny of his own. After all, he never put it together that he was born just after the death of Avatar Kyoshi.
Throw out everything you think you know about the war and the characters involved. A lot can happen in a hundred years, and you'd be surprised how much one minor change can have ripple effects. This is tagged canon divergence for a reason.

Summary
On a whim, Sokka types out: ‘hey. would u be my fake boyf plus-one for a wedding in two weeks?’ He hits send and doesn’t really regret it because (1) it’s 3am on a Tuesday morning so he doesn’t really have the bandwidth to care (2) he’s actually thought this thing out and (3) he’s armed with arguments.
‘what?’
He’s too tired to text out a full explanation, so he dials Zuko’s number. The call picks up on the second ring, and Sokka says, “You would be the ultimate flex of a significant other on an ex. You’re, like, the most thoughtful, big-hearted person I know, and you’re beautiful and fashionable and accomplished. You’re going to be world-renowned famous in, like, two years.”
Silence stretches for so long Sokka wonders if he misheard the call picking up; then Zuko’s rasp, lifted from a baritone to a tenor by the electronic filter of a phone call, says, “Okay.”
—————
A sleep-deprived Sokka caves to the impulse to ask Zuko, his close friend of seven years, to be his pretend boyfriend for his ex’s wedding; Zuko is too ride-or-die to consider this a bad idea.
