HEY!! HI!! im desperate and i've been looking on and off for a few years for this fic that i vaguely remember

if anyone could find it i'd really appreciate it!!

i remember it was zukka, and i know it was on ao3, and i know i read it before / in 2021 so it had to be published before then

i remember it was an alternate setting (modern? definitely not canon compliant) and that zuko had gone up to alaska on business and met sokka, who was there to like welcome him??

i'm almost certain zuko worked for his dad/his dads company, there was lots of mentions of the sun not setting in alaska and zuko having trouble sleeping with all the light, i also feel like there was a scene where he and sokka were outside smoking cigarettes?? (they were both adults)

other than that i've got nothing, and if anyone can find this or if you know of it you're the best ever, i don't think i ever finished it and i keep thinking about it cause i remember it being pretty good so if i find it i'd love to give it a second chance now

The Dragon of Tui Avenue

Sokka’s life slips into meaninglessness after Yue’s death. Nothing seems fun or exciting anymore, he mostly just allows himself to be dragged along with whatever his friends want to do in a desperate attempt to find something to hold onto, though it’s all mostly futile. It’s not until he starts getting to know the mysterious boy who’s moved into Yue’s old place that something shifts, and although his presence doesn’t magically fill the emptiness inside Sokka, he does a pretty good job at helping Sokka keep his head above water.

I wrote another short! I hope you’ll enjoy

Fire Lord Nap Time

It's finally winter so I couldn't help drawing zuko in their cozy best!

A Crash Course in Tea Shop Dating

I’d honestly just love to hear what people think of it. I know it’s not amazing or anything but I just needed them to be silly idiots without the danger of the world ending or shit like that. So yeah, constructive criticism is welcome, just please be nice about it, I’m sensitive lmao

I am a staunch believer of Bottom Zuko. I cannot read anything with Top Zuko at all. I admit some of my reasons for believing Zuko is a bottom is stereotypical but I can’t help it. My guy is a twink through and through

This is my update draft if anyone want to read it. If you see any Grammer mistakes or something else please put it in the comments

One year after Wan and the same year as his brother Liǎng was born a child was born in the water lion turtle tribe but the parents thought the child looked like a monster because their eyes were slited and they had a mark on their wrist of a wolf print. So the father and some of the men took the child off of the lion turtle back without seeing the lion turtle giving the child a gift of spirit speak.

Soon the father left the child under a tree and left to go hunting and inorge the child crying. What the man didn’t see was a spirit watching everything, this was the chaos spirit Vaatu.

Vaatu came over and held the child in his tentacles thing and took off to a hidden cave and rest with the child when a wolf spirit and some of her pups came forth and looked at the wolf who started nuzzle the child close as the child suck on the wolf Vaatu watched and smiled, “from this day forth they will be a child of chaos and the name I give them is Kiseki.”

A few years later Vaatu made a village with the help of some spirits and other banished humans from the lion turtles and they named the village Hōfuna meaning bountiful his child along with the wolves will guard the village from hunters and those who will cause pain. When Kiseki turned 19 he came across a boy his age and was a fire user but not only that he was different from the others by living with the spirits as they and the village does so the young person came to him when he slept but always left before the person woke up.

This been happening for a few weeks until one of the wolf brothers helped carry the boy as he slept. Kiseki led the way to the village, the boy woke up a few moments later and gave his name Liǎng to Kiseki who was blushing. Raava looked more beaten than Vaatu who was glaring at the ground.

Kiseki came over and was in shock “Father! Auntie Raava! What happened you two are split!?”

Liǎng woke up in a bed and was taken to the two spirits who were being healed but sadly there was no way for Raava and Vaatu to link back up.

Liǎng looked over “what happened to these two spirits?”

Raava saw Liǎng and glared at him, “Some humans found us fighting and split us apart I think all the fire users should leave.”

Kiseki looked at Raava “Antie Raava then the hunters and some spirits will kill them, Liǎng stepped forward letting out his Alpha scent “I agree with the person even though it was fire users I think they will be ruthless why not let me leave insead I don't mind,”

Raava stopped and smiled. “It was a test human if you prove to us you have light and dark that never wavers even when all are against you we will let you stay.”

Kiseki nodded “yes see my father and aunt like to do that but they weren't lying about the human separating them.”

Raava nodded then Wan a Alpha came on his cat deer, and Liǎng waves to his brother and after talking to the two spirit and learning the truth agrees to learn from Raava to help keep the balance while Vaatu took upon himself to train Liǎng, after discussing it with Kiseki and Liǎng.

They were gone for a year Liǎng trained fire then earth then water and finally air. Wan started his avatar cycle being fire air water and earth, when they returned to the village, the some of omega villagers and Kiseki were taken so Wan and Liǎng took off to find him with the spirits Raava and Vaatu leaving the village covered in thick mist.

Several centuries later….

Vaatu sat pushed and pushed against his tree cage thing and soon heard a prayer from a young woman.

“Please to spirits please protect my son he should live.” Vaatu heard the voice and it broke him out so Vaatu stretched, before following the voice to the fire nation palace when he saw a young beta woman panting as she held a baby boy who was barely crying instead sleeping but his breathing was shallow. Vaatu touched the boy when someone called out “Firelord Azulon, Fire Prince Ozai”

Two alpha men came into the room as Vaatu hid but was still able to listen in.

“Ursa! Is this our son?” Ozai glared down as he took the child away before the mother could speak and the baby opened his eyes looking at the man before seeing Vaatu. Ozai glared at the baby, “he has no spark of a firebender.”

Vaatu looked down at the newborn and saw not only a spark but his spirit fire. It was white and pure unlike his father which was wild and out of control, his mother was not a firebender.

Azulon came forth and looked down at the baby, “he may not have a spark but he is still my grandson.” He turned to Ursa as he gave the baby back to her. “Do you have a name for him?”

The Alls Fair series by Lovely_Elbow_Leech is my favorite fic I’ve read out of any fandom. It’s a canon divergent series, starting at the end of season 1. Sokka and Zuko are both captured by Zhao after the invasion of the North Pole. The first fic, War Crimes, focuses on their imprisonment. The sequel, War Games, is a complete rewrite of the series following their escape.

The first fic is mostly from Sokka’s POV, and the second adds in Hakoda, Katara, Azula, and Jet’s POV, along with some OCs. All of the OCs are incredibly well written and fit right into the ATLA universe. Captain Shen has become one of my favorite characters and it’s a shame he’s not part of canon.

One really interesting part of this fic is that despite the series heavily revolving around Zuko, we never actually get his POV. I really love this decision because it makes it so we as the reader are trying to figure out what’s going on inside his head as much as the other characters are.

It is a zukka fic, with Sokka and Zuko’s relationship being extremely slowburn. I absolutely adore both of their characterizations and dynamic in this. Especially dealing with the fact that they are on opposite sides of the war, and this is season 1 Zuko, so he is still heavily brainwashed by his father’s beliefs.

This is a much darker take on the series, so be sure to read the tags. But I cannot recommend this fic enough

War Crimes

“Book one ends with two major diffrences: 1. Sokka went on the mission with Hahn (it did not go well) 2. Zhao survives the North Pole and that proves unfortunate for everybody (except Zhao, obviously)  Imprisoned on Zhao’s war ship, Sokka and Zuko have to work together to survive. They are not very enthusiastic about this prospect. 

And they argue. 

A lot. “

War Games

“After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.

Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.

Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)

Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.

Her father may have made a slight tactical error.”

I’ve read the Alls Fair series by Lovely_elbow_leech and I’m obsessed with Sokka and Zuko’s relationship in it. Does anyone have any other fic recs where they have a similar dynamic?
