for the prompts ask. It's more of a question- in a zukki a/b/o verse, what do you think each of them would be?
Ooooooh!! I love me some A/B/O drama. And I know most of of zukka fics portray Zuko as the omega, but I have a thing for omega!Sokka that I just can’t explain.
Now hear me out. It really depends of the biology in the verse, because every fic makes up its own. But I read plenty in other fandoms where betas are “soothers”, so they are not only unaffected by pheromones but their presence dilutes them and anchors the alphas and omegas onto themselves. So.
___
Sokka as the omega that hates being an omega. (cliché, I know) but he honestly doesn’t feel comfortable with the traditional omega roles, the expectations, and how meek and submissive the hormonal haze or his heat makes him. He’s a protector, a strategist that works with his mind, a leader... he’s lowkey afraid of letting go and just being vulnerable.
Meanwhile Zuko is an alpha terrified of hurting someone he loves or of being too rough. His father was a prime example of a dominant alpha and Zuko would rather cut his dick off than become like him in public, much less in his personal life. So he does his best to avoid acting on his alpha instincts and impulses.
Like, they love and trust each other, but they don’t trust themselves. Needless to say, it’s not doing any favors to their relationship, both being too reluctant to take the next step despite the overwhelming sexual tension.
Cue in; Beta Suki getting fed up with their angst and taking matters into her own hands. She offers to be in the room, in the bed even, with them. So that they can both have a safety net and won’t be so affected by their primal instincts.
Zuko trusts her to keep him under check, Sokka figures that her hormones will be enough to prevent him from slipping in too deep.
Except that relying on her turns into clinging onto her, and because they are all horny she ends up fully involved in the sexy times, and it works better than expected. Everyone finally enjoys themselves and can relax.
Sexual dynamics turn into relationship dynamics. Sokka and Zuko learn to better manage themselves and to trust their instincts, sorta healing/sorta adapting their hangups. But neither of them want to give up Suki there because they love her now just as much as they love each other. And she is completely enamored with her dumb, cuddly bois.
