Summary
It is a horrible realization to have, that perhaps Zuko hadn’t thought this entirely through.
Because Sokka is everywhere.
He is in council, he is in the palace, in the barracks, the merchant yards, the gardens. He is bouldering his way into Zuko’s rooms without a second glance at the guards and dragging him out to go sightseeing, to go to the markets, to lay in the sand and watch the stars.
He is everywhere, and he is beautiful.
Or: Zuko asks his friend to come to the Fire Nation as a new council member, and struggles to survive under these conditions.

call me a monster (and I will call you beautiful) by SyciaraLynx

Summary
“Well, don’t you have a barnacle in your side, sweet thing. Why the grumpy face?”
Zuko scowls, slamming the door to the lower deck behind him to keep the echoing lilt of the voice from reaching his crew above. “This is how I always look.” Whatever attempt he makes at crossing the distance calmly turns into more of a tromp, especially as the glowing sharp blue gaze narrows in amusement.
“Come now, I already know that isn’t true, I have seen you all blood flushed and dreamy before.” A pair of arms reach above the wooden tank to fold themselves along the lip, and the creature smiles as he rests his large head down across his forearms. “Even if you did manage to break from it, clever princeling. Shall I sing for you again?”
Or: Zuko catches a siren, and instantly regrets it (until he very much doesn't)

gravity (and other forces not to be trifled with) by SyciaraLynx

Summary
Sokka raises a brow as he takes in Zuko’s clearly run down appearance, head cocking in that irritating, knowing way of his. “Well I was planning to cuff you upside the head in front of all these people. But it looks like life has already done that for me.”
Zuko’s brow pinches, chest tightening at the frustrated tone he is treated to. “Are you mad at me for something?”
If anything, Sokka looks even more aggrieved. “Oh, I don’t know, it’s almost as if I received several letters from your council, and one very pointed one from your Uncle about this event.” His arms cross, and Zuko takes a deep breath to avoid staring at how his robes loosen in the front with the movement, splaying wider beneath the tension of his forearms. “I sure loved hearing from everyone but you that a search for the Firelord’s future spouse was happening.”
Or: Zuko is pressured into finding a spouse, and Sokka shows up to smack some sense into him (and get dicked down, nasty style)

stick a straw in me baby, cause I'm a walkin talkin SNACK by SyciaraLynx

Summary
Sokka’s ability to trust is limited at best.
It hadn’t always been this way, but nothing grows suspicion like being kept in a constant state of fight or flight. Learning to survive, but barely, and dealing with a constant influx of betrayals from every corner, quickly grew him into someone with limited confidence in others.
So having Zuko join the group does a fantastic job of ruffling every one of his feathers.
Or: Sokka has his hackles up the moment Zuko joins the gaang, and only grows more suspicious when he notices him sneaking off into the woods at night (spoiler alert, that firebender is ALSO a vampire)

Summary
In real life, unlike formal logic, all the premises can be true but the conclusion can still be false.
