Upcoming: Zukka Week Fics
As a lot of you probably already know, Zukka Week 2022 happens this May! And I just wanted to give you all a heads up on what to expect from me so far.
Day 3, Spooning / Bed-sharing: “Titanic”
When Zuko was banished, he and his uncle hid themselves in Ba Sing Se. But now the Avatar has returned, and the war has ended with Fire Lord Azula on the throne. Determined to see his sister, Zuko sneaks aboard a ship headed for the Fire Nation. He doesn’t expect to fall in love with Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe along the way—and he certainly doesn’t expect to find himself fighting for his life in the freezing waters of the north. Titanic AU; 8k+ Words
Day 4, The Arts: “Dance and Be Gay”
Modern AU. The one thing Zuko has managed to hang onto over the years is his starring role in musical theater. When his father’s arrest results in him and Azula moving to be with their uncle in Ba Sing Se, though, the local high school has already started casting for the spring production of Cinderella--and the star role of Prince Charming is taken. But Cinderella herself remains un-cast. ... Never let it be said that Zuko would let anything stand in-between him and musical theater, let alone something like gender roles. 7k+ Words
Day 5, Disability: “Four Counts”
Sokka wakes up late one night and deals with his OCD, and Zuko is there to help. 622 Words
Day 6, Accidentally Dating: “Skating Into Love”
Zuko has always been his father’s disappointment. Deemed too weak to compete on his own in men’s single figure skating, he’s had to rely on a rotating stream of pairs partners to make it through season after season. But now that Zuko’s eighteen, his father has no lawful reason to keep Zuko around: And so Zuko finds himself both without a coach, and without a partner.
Sokka has always skated with Katara, but that changes when her boyfriend, Aang, comes of age for seniors and Katara decides she’d rather skate with him. At the same time, the International Skating Union announces that same-sex partners are now legal—and Sokka is determined to make a statement with his new choice of partner.

Bonus: “Honk,” a pre-Zukka fic, is already out and on AO3!
Zuko needs to make his way to Ba Sing Se to find his uncle. Sokka needs to go there to find the rest of the Gaang. They end up on the journey together—but with one teeny tiny problem. Zuko’s been cursed into being an ostrich horse, and Sokka doesn’t know the animal he’s taking care of is actually human.
