    Summary

    But as they passed under the equally spaced street lights, he didn’t want to miss chance to glimpse his friend’s face unnoticed-- the way he subtly continued to nod along with the radio, his strong hands tapping patterns into the wheel, the cut of his cheek when he checked both ways at intersections, the little comments he would make to Bato, who could not gather the brainpower to answer in more than hums.

    When he started to sing along with the radio under his breath, Bato closed his eyes to just listen, letting his heart ache just a little.

    Summary

    Sokka heard that story before. Of course he did, the turning point of Zuko's destiny, the single bravest and most noble (or stupid) thing he's ever done. He retold the thoughts that went through his head back then, the repercussions... but he left out a single detail.
    And it's that detail that changes everything.

    I need to see his soulmark. Sokka thinks, heart hammering in his chest.

    Summary

    Zuko wants to help people in a way that his family name would never allow him to, so he became the Blue Spirit, a vigilante that operates solely at night in an ornamental blue mask.
    Sokka is a photojournalist who just wants to write an article about this mysterious new vigilante who fights in his side of town.
    Zuko happens to work the same paper as Sokka, and he has no idea why Sokka hates him.
    Sokka can't decide if he hates Zuko because of his family name, or if he has just the teensiest little crush on him.

    Will the Blue Spirit be able to save the people who he wants to save? And who will be there to save him when he needs it?

    Summary

    Sokka does a shitty k turn in the parking lot across from the bus station, pulls up to the curb where the boy is looking determinedly at his phone, and rolls down the passenger window. “Hey! Which way were you going?” He may die, but at least his conscience will be clear.

    The guy blinks at him.

    “Don’t.”

    Oh, he’s prickly.

    ---

    Or: the hitchhiker au, featuring Sokka and Zuko falling in love without even realizing it.
