Fandom: Avatar
Pairing: Sokka/Zuko
Theme set: Gamma
Rating: R
Ok so my first try at anything in this fandom so I hope it's good.
#01 - Ring
He traces the scar that ring’s Zuko’s eye; first with his eyes, then, when he works up the courage, with his finger tips.
#02 - Hero
“I am not a damsel in distress,” Zuko hissed at Sokka who looked much too pleased with himself cutting the ropes binding Zuko’s wrists, “And you’re not my hero.”
#03 - Memory
It’s hard to remember a time when Zuko wasn’t a huge influence on his daily life; maybe unknowingly he always had been.
#04 - Box
Sokka nudged the box suspiciously with his foot; you could never be too careful with gifts given by Fire Nation princes even if you were sharing their beds.
#05 - Run
Katara would call him an idiot, make him run away like a coward, but he isn’t facing down an army and certain death with his sister.
#06 - Hurricane
Fact: While a hurricane can drive two enemies into a cave and force them to hide from its wrath, it is not the hurricane’s doing if they decide to have sex.
#07 - Wings
All his life he experienced unexplained twinges when watching his father’s men so, when he fights the Avatar’s peasant boy and the twinges come, like the fluttering wings of a swarm of thunder-bugs, he ignores them.
#08 - Cold
Having lived in the South Pole most of his life Sokka knows the best way to prevent freezing to death while trapped in a snowstorm is by sharing body heat; he admits later when they hurriedly redress that this plan doesn’t work if they pull each other’s clothes off.
#09 - Red
He always said he’d see the tribesmen in Fire Nation colours but he hadn’t meant blood stained clothing.
#10 - Drink
The Fire Nation has been the enemy of the water nation for generations; remembering stories of blood drinking fire benders Sokka lets out a high pitched screech when Zuko nibbles at his neck.
#11 - Midnight
Without a timekeeper Sokka judges midnight as the darkest part of day; it’s the time when he sneaks away from his bedroll and the only time they kiss.
#12 - Temptation
Sokka replies to the smirking Zuko with a growl, “Don’t try to tempt me with your masculine wiles.”
#13 - View
From a certain point of view their fighting looked less like wrestling and more like sex with clothing on; at least that’s what Katara thinks as she turns red.
#14 - Music
Sokka laughs when he learns Zuko plays an instrument, but is memorized when his lips wrap around the mouth of the horn.
#15 - Silk
Deep in the steel bowels of a warship the blue furs of a peasant and the red silk of a prince fall to the floor in a jumbled heap.
#16 - Cover
Zuko thinks love might mean saying “cover me” before running into an obvious ambush and knowing that Sokka will.
#17 - Promise
They made promises, children promises, echoes of wedding vows to never hurt or betray, to death do they part but every thing he does taints his honor and his father promises him forgiveness; both promises in mind, Zuko feels no regret as he shoves the blade into his sleeping lover’s chest.
#18 - Dream
In his dreams he’s out of this prison and the chains are gone from his legs but the Prince still watches him.
#19 - Candle
Zuko laughs but allows Sokka to light the candle by himself.
#20 - Talent
Zuko is a prince and therefore learnt all manner of things, from riding to fencing to music to courtly love, from the greatest masters of the Fire Nation, who honed talents and built greatness; Sokka snickers and presses their mouths together showing off his finely honed talent.
#21 - Silence
Zuko would cut the peasant’s tongue if he wasn’t so afraid of the silence.
#22 - Journey
The reason Sokka gets bad advice is because he uses weird euphemism for love and no one knows what he’s talking about; Aang thinks Sokka is talking about building roads or maybe talking a trip.
#23 - Fire
They both have a temper but only Sokka ends up with singed clothing.
#24 - Strength
In his day, Zuko’s Uncle had been as famous around the courts for his strength at wooing the opposite sex as he was for leading armies; however, Uncle Iroh had no helpful advice concerning the wooing of boys.
#25 - Mask
Katara is awed by Aang’s tale of capture and rescue and capture during his quest to cure the siblings but Sokka is mostly bemused by the fact that a prince of the Fire Nation wore the mask of a water sprit.
#26 - Ice
He’s an evil bastard but he’s unconscious and he has ice on his face so Sokka pulls his glove off to wipe it clear.
#27 - Fall
Sokka knows falling for royalty leads to nothing but trouble and suffering but that doesn’t stop him from doing it again.
#28 - Forgotten
Neither likes to be forgotten but somehow it ended with them lying side by side in a healer’s tent, the war that quickly forgot them raging outside.
#29 - Dance
Fighting is the dance of men; Zuko lunges and kicks the tribesmen’s legs out from under him, Sokka twists as he falls and with his boomerang blocks a broadsword from sliding through his ribs; it is all choreographed into a graceful ballet.
#30 - Body
Zuko doesn’t notice the summer’s heat but Sokka does; the water-tribesman strips off as much clothing as possible and opts to lie on top of his bed roll; Zuko can’t sleep.
#31 - Sacred
He defiles both the spirits and the Fire Nation monarchy when he fucks Prince Zuko’s brains out in an abandoned temple.
#32 - Farewells
The Avatar has saved the world and the ruins of the Fire Nation needs a ruler; how could he explain a water tribesman at his court?
#33 - World
His brother’s obsession, his world and conquest, grows like a hungry beast wanting to gobble nation and nation but his nephew’s obsessions, his world and conquest, shrinks, from the Fire Nation to the Avatar, and now, to this newest obsession: this puppy love and this common boy; Iroh can’t help but be pleased to see his nephew smile.
#34 - Formal
Sokka tugs the formal outfit with a grimace because the stupid collar thing is too loose; the reason for his discomfort is he grabbed the wrong stupid collar thing but, on the bright side, Zuko is probably uncomfortable too.
#35 - Fever
During fever-talk, people stumble in demented eagerness to spill their secrets and Sokka’s eyebrows rise at the strange ramblings and poetry Zuko directs at him.
#36 - Laugh
Laughter is a weapon and a shield that they hone with sneers and contempt and they laugh cruelly at each other whether clothed or not; no ones else understand but they know that their own laughter cancels the other’s out to make love.
#37 - Lies
“I hate you.”
#38 - Forever
“I hope you’re sure about this,” Sokka mutters even as he clasps his bleeding palm against Zuko’s similarly wounded hand, “because this means forever to my people.”
#39 - Overwhelmed
“I’m sure,” Zuko mutters back but he really isn’t because his mind is trying to suffocate him; with their bloody hands still connected, throbbing to their pulses, he captures Sokka’s mouth in a rough kiss.
#40 - Whisper
Zuko’s in love but Sokka whispers,”brother.”
#41 - Wait
He had waited for his father to tell him what to do, he waited ever hopeful that age would explain his emotions, he’d wait longer, even if he knew it was only his sister to come up with the answer because he really could use one but there are lips on his and he has no more time to wait.
#42 - Talk
Talk is cheap, the beer even more so, and the alcohol fuels the men to find more interesting things to do with their mouths; three coppers on the bar and two rather important figures in this war, the exile and his newly appointed general, take a room upstairs.
#43 - Search
Zuko search is for Aang but Sokka never fails to push himself to the front and force the Prince to fight with him.
#44 - Hope
“Hope is for girls.”
#45 - Eclipse
Zuko would never admit that Sokka’s affection for the moon makes him jealous any more then he’d admit his happiness when her pale face is hidden in the eclipse.
#46 - Gravity
Gravity, which is a principle that makes people who are not Aang, mainly Sokka, fall hard, fast and against their will, also seems to apply to emotions; he falls in love hard, fast and, most assuredly, against his will.
#47 - Highway
Sokka really has only one person to go to for advice but Aang, nodding sagely, says, “A highway is just a big road”; and Sokka has no idea how that relates to love.
#48 - Unknown
He’s about to stomp away angrily when Aang, tilting his head slightly, suggests, “maybe you should just go and talk to him.”
#49 - Lock
In the Fire Nation, it has always been customary for men to keep a lock of hair from the girl they court; it was tradition and expected but perhaps he should have asked Sokka before he cut it off.
#50 - Breathe
He’s not his sister; he can’t make a body breath again by removing water from lungs.
