Summary
With his twenty-first birthday looming just around the corner, the Southern Water Tribe Elders have decided that Sokka, next in line to be Chief, needs to get married. Sokka does not want that, but he does need to get them off his back until he can figure his way out of it. What better way to do that than to pretend to date his best friend (and newly minted Ambassador to the Southern Water Tribe) Zuko?
Seriously, this is a foolproof plan. Maybe one of Sokka's best. Absolutely nothing can go wrong.

Summary
“How about a bet?”
Keith paused.
“If I can make you fall in love with the holidays by Christmas night, you’ll take the shift.”
Keith snorted, turning to face Lance. He kept that vaguely annoyed smile on his face, but nothing could hide the gleam of interest in his eyes.
“You’re not going to make that happen.”
“Okay,” Lance shrugged. “Then what’s the harm of taking the bet?”
Keith’s eyes rose to the ceiling, thinking.
“And,” Lance rushed in, “and I’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll work New Years as well.”
Now that got Keith’s attention.
They had drawn straws for who would work New Years Day weeks ago. It was one of the worst shifts for a toy store. Being deathly hungover while listening to kids scream and toys screech was the stuff of nightmares. Keith had lost and was stuck with the shift.
A slow grin tugged at Keith’s lips. “You’re insane.”***
When Lance gets stuck with the Christmas shift, he immediately turns to Keith, a self-proclaimed Scrooge, to cover the shift. When Keith refuses, Lance offers up a bet. If he can make Keith fall in love with the holidays before Christmas, Keith will take the shift. Nonsense straight from a Hallmark movie follows.

Summary
Seven years ago, Lance went missing. The Garrison informs them of this a week after his disappearance. They never really got informed of the details, something to do with military confidentiality. All they know is that Lance had snuck out one night, got into a fight with some personnel dealing with some top secret mission, and promptly vanished.
And just like that, seven years pass. Lance turns eighteen, then nineteen, then twenty, and then they stop counting, and at twenty four he comes home.
Or: Seven years after leaving Earth, Lance comes home, but there's a part of him still left in space.

Summary
The sun and the moon are opposites. The Fire Nation and the Water Tribes are opposites. Fire and water are opposites. Summer and winter are opposites. Princes and peasants are opposites. Zuko and Sokka are opposites. So, naturally, they don’t mix. Not ever. Not even if Sokka keeps going back, lying to himself by saying that it’s just for information and that he’s not totally and completely falling in love with a Fire Nation prince.
Or: Sokka finds Zuko at Pao’s Family Tea House, accidentally-kinda-maybe falls in love under the pretense of gathering information and thinks that maybe he and Zuko aren’t that different after all.
