Summary
The letter was never supposed to be read, least of all by Sokka. But then, things happen every day that aren’t supposed to, in war.
Or,
On a particularly hopeless night, Zuko sends out a messenger hawk to nowhere. He didn’t realize that his messenger hawk is deeply committed to completing the job. And that Sokka happens to be traveling straight through nowhere, at the time.

Summary
[“Hey, have you seen—oh,” Zuko breaks off, Sokka glancing up and doing a double-take, torn between his sketch and the sight of Zuko half-dressed and still flushed from training and a bath. “Are you blueprinting?”
“Drawing,” Sokka admits, tilting the board propped against his knees so Zuko can see, barely resisting the urge to reach out and smear charcoal and ink over Zuko’s skin. “Just woke up feeling inspired.”
“Mm, I like it,” Zuko murmurs, peeking over Sokka’s shoulder, his fingers sifting absently through Sokka’s hair. “Are you experimenting with styles here?” he traces lightly over the winding, curving lines. “It’s got some viper cobra symbolism?”
“Hm.” Sokka cocks his head, leaning into Zuko’s touch. “Yeah.” he finally says. He wasn’t quite going for that, but eyeing all his sketches and inked lines anew, he can suddenly see that it all is rather…ropelike.]
Or,
Sokka has something he can’t quite get off his mind. Something tangling up his thoughts. Something knotting up his tongue. Something wrapping around his imagination.
Zuko might be willing to help him out. He does know how to tie a clove hitch, after all.

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)

how to survive your hot best friend (a study in failure) by SyciaraLynx for sourkiwi131

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.
