Summary
“Sokka,” Fire Lord Zuko speaks up. “Are you done talking to them? Because if so-”
“Let's say I'm done, but we'll still have to talk,” says Older Sokka. “We have a problem. More precisely, five problems. These are not members of the New Ozai Society, trying to kill you by disguising themselves as us. It's us. From the past.”
“Hey!” objects loudly younger Sokka. “What are you doing, future me?”
Or: on their way to the North Pole, Aang, Katara and Sokka are ambushed by Zuko and his uncle. Somehow, this leads to them visiting the future.

Summary
She watches them suspiciously. Sokka and Zuko walk side by side—and then suddenly Sokka smiles slightly, leans toward Zuko and says something to him in a hushed tone—and then Zuko smiles back at him.
Their strange encounter in the clearing, how Sokka was willing to defend Zuko, the fact that they hugged...
Sweet Tui and La, Katara suddenly realizes. He’s not just infiltrating the group — he’s flirting. With Sokka.
Or: In which the years-long friendship between Ambassador Sokka and Fire Lord Zuko looks a lot like romance to 14-year-old Katara.
Alternatively: Five times Katara misunderstood Sokka and Zuko’s relationship, and one time the boys tried to clear things up.

Summary
Sokka doesn’t even see Zuko move. One moment, he’s several feet away, twin dao raised in a ready stance, and the next, something is sweeping his legs from under him, and he’s hitting the dirt hard, a blade against his throat.
Zuko looks down at him from above, crowned in bright sunlight. His eyes are very gold.
Sokka can feel all his thoughts go bye-bye.
“I win,” says Zuko.
“Hng,” says Sokka.
Distantly, he’s kind of proud of himself for getting out at least that much.
(Or: Zuko is hot. Everyone else is suffering.)

Summary
"Can you see from this eye?" she asked tentatively, hoping not to spook him. Zuko cleared his throat before answering her. "A little. Mostly just shapes and light."
Toph smiled when she heard that, which caused Zuko to furrow his eyebrow. "What? What are you so happy about?" he questioned, nearly defensive. "You're blind."Or
Toph learns Zuko has a scar, then learns he's half blind, and then proceeds to teach him how to use his bending like she does to compensate for the blindness (half blindness). -
