Summary
"You think I hate you? You think I'd ever kill you?" Sokka holds Zuko's face in both hands, blood dripping from his lips. "I'd fall on my sword for you. I'd find you anywhere. What do you think that means?"
Rescued, but imprisoned, Zuko finds himself no further from death on a water tribe ship. Sokka, the chief, would see him bleeding out on the boards of the deck as justice. He's a fire bender, the evil of the war that his father rages through their world. Zuko hasn't been a part of that war. Not for years. Now he's thrust back into it against his will, finding himself fighting on a side he never expected to be a part of. Maybe he'll find a cause worth fighting for; someone worth fighting for.

Summary
Sokka is captured by the Fire Nation just as Ba Sing Se falls. Due to be executed on Fire Lord Ozai’s orders, Zuko steps in and claims Sokka as his war prize, taking him as his First Consort.
It’s not a match made in heaven, but more of a fight to the finish line. Sokka wants to be free and Zuko wants to take down Ozai. Neither of them know if the Avatar lives, but they need to work together if they want to succeed.
There’s just the small matter of both of them having to convince the Fire Nation court that they are lovers, rather than mortal enemies…

Summary
“Thanks for coming with me,” Sokka said, leaning against the balcony.
“Did I have a choice?” Zuko asked, wincing at how harsh it sounded.
Sokka just scoffed. “Uh, yeah. Nobody can make you do anything, you’re the Fire Lord. There’s like, two people on this planet who can tell you what to do and you’d listen— the Avatar and your uncle.”
“Three,” Zuko corrected.
“What?”
“Three people who can make me do stuff I don’t want to do,” Zuko said, softly. “The Avatar, my uncle, and you.”
—
Approaching the 10th anniversary of his coronation, Fire Lord Zuko hopes that by the time they return to the capital he'll have another thing to celebrate: his engagement to Sokka.

Summary
Sokka is born in the dead of winter with a red dragon curling down the left side of his back.
Zuko is born in the sweltering heat of summer with a sword down his spine.
—
He doesn’t want to talk about it when their gazes turn on him. They make assumptions— is it someone he left behind in the Fire Nation? He looks away when he agrees with them.
Toph brushes past him when they all part ways. She says, “I know you’re lying.”

Summary
Zuko pulls away first. He stares at Sokka and raises his one brow.
“You do realise,” he says dryly, “that you just instigated a major international incident?”Or: Sokka is impulsive. This is a problem. Especially when he ends up kissing the Fire Lord and immediately running away.
Rated T for swearing.

Summary
Sokka is convinced that nothing good ever comes of dealing with spirits. Nothing. They cause nothing but trouble.
So it would be just his luck that he stumbles into one a little too interested in his love life. After the spirit senses Sokka's conflicted feelings for Zuko, his friend and former enemy that he may or may not love, she decides to help him out. The problem is that her help is more of a curse! As each day goes by, it seems like something new and weird is happening to his body! It doesn't help that being near Zuko is driving him crazy in ways it never has before. What did the spirits do to him?!In which A/B/O doesn't exist in the world of ATLA yet, but I make Sokka patient zero, and then it becomes everyone's problem.

Summary
Sokka’s fascination with fire creeps up on him slowly and sneakily.
Zuko is leaping into the air with his leg rotating in a high arc. Flames trail off of his foot like he is drawing them right in the air with his toes.
Two months previous, it’d be the kind of move that would have had Katara pull the entire ocean up right then to smother Zuko, which would be a shame. It is a very pretty outcome, especially as the flames spark out into embers that dance in the air for just long enough to be appreciated.
He can’t really bring himself to stop watching from that point forward.
Or:
Sokka and his obsession with fire. Then his obsession with one firebender in specific.

"Alright." Desmond closes his eyes to carry on, "This is going to sound fucking crazy. But. Ezio Auditore da Firenze is a regular at my bar. He's partial to the dark lager we had on tap last month."
There's absolute silence in the van. Even Shaun has stopped muttering swear words at the traffic.

Summary
Booktoker Alex didn’t mean to start an internet feud with beloved writer Henry Fox, it just kind of… happened. One off-hand comment on a TikTok live, and suddenly he’s public enemy number one. But when he finally reads the book he trashed, all he can do is hope for Henry’s forgiveness, and maybe, somehow, a chance to win his heart.

Summary
Smell is an interesting thing, as far as senses go. He learned in undergrad anatomy that it’s actually responsible in part for encoding memory, and it’s a powerful trigger for it. Alex has experienced this plenty of times; his mother’s perfume reminding him of their years in Texas, his father’s cigars. This time, with the smell of this room, Alex is hit square in the chest with the memory of short blonde strands of hair sliding between his fingers, a perfect mouth opening against his own, a smooth accent curving a dulcet voice that whispers into his ear. Alex is spinning suddenly, as though he’s in midair and falling, and the nostalgic feeling in his chest is replaced with something far more intense and less pleasant. Alex steps backwards suddenly out of the room and slams the door shut, his breath shuddering and fast, and he rakes his hands through his dark curls as he storms off down the hallway.
Alexander Claremont-Diaz returns to the White House the first day of his presidency, intent on carving a new future for America and laying the ghosts of the previous administration to rest. He stumbles on a ghost of his own, one that's never quite stopped haunting him since the summer of his mother's second campaign.

Summary
Henry begins to gingerly remove the bandage, sucking in a small breath as it pinches his skin. With one side of the tape unsealed, he pulls the rest of the material back and freezes in place.
For a moment, he thinks this is just some kind of sick nightmare, so he reaches down to pinch his thigh, but nothing happens. Where his soulmark used to be, is now only a line of stitches, held tightly together by a bunch of steri-strips.

Summary
“Does it… make you frightened about your soulmate? Or add more stress for you to find… them?”
Alex runs a hand through his hair and stops at his neck, squeezing. The pressure keeps him held together as he listens to Henry’s breathing on the other end of the line. “A little. I don’t want to – I can’t get it wrong like they did. Not that I’m not happy to exist or whatever, but everything is so strained any time we’re all in the same fucking room. I just don’t want that.”
“I’m sure…” Henry hesitates. “I’m sure your soulmate will be the most wonderful thing, Alex. I can’t imagine anyone destined to be with you ever doing anything other than… well, other than loving you completely.”

Summary
Henry stares at his family. Stares and stares and stares as their words settle in his mind and travel down to his heart, then further down over his ribs and over the soft ridge of his stomach to settle on that mark sitting on his hip.
It doesn't quite make sense, what they’re saying, because his mark has been public knowledge for at least twelve years now, having been leaked by a scumbag journalist, spying on him while he relaxed on a private beach with Pez when he was only twenty.
He’s all but resigned himself to the belief that his soulmate had decided he didn’t want him. And that’s fair, because he’s a bloody prince and not everyone is willing to subject themselves to that level of scrutiny. It’s fine. Acceptable. Henry’s accepted it and moved on.
Only.

Summary
There’s a man in Henry’s bedroom. That, itself, isn’t noteworthy. He’s become rather proficient at smuggling men in and out of his room at Kensington Palace and his first-year flat at Oxford.
It’s not even especially noteworthy that the man is quite arresting. For better or worse, Henry’s title and reputation tend to help him pull gorgeous men with somewhat astonishing frequency. This man is, of course, particularly gorgeous. He’s tall, with olive skin, dark hair, and a bone structure that would send the old masters into a frenzy of pigments, linseed oil, and canvas.
But, perhaps, the most noteworthy thing is that the man in Henry’s bedroom is quickly and awkwardly wiping his eyes with the backs of his hands. That he seems just as surprised to see Henry as Henry is to see him.
Or, the handwavey, time-travelly, astral-projectiony, canon-smooshy AU nobody asked for, but we're giving it to you anyway.

Summary
For years, Alex and Henry have feuded privately. But when Alex shows up for Philip's wedding, he finally decided he's had enough - enough arguing, enough of the comparisons to the perfect Prince. The wedding had already been a subtle but constant reminder that he is not one of them, that he doesn’t belong. So instead of arguing with Henry, he leaves the ballroom to get some air on a balcony. What happens when Henry follows him out to the balcony? Will Alex snap and tell him to leave? Or will it completely change a relationship marked by misunderstandings?
This is the story of Alex and Henry if the cake never falls on them, with 4 major moments coming on balconies around the United States and the United Kingdom.
Now with a bonus 5th balcony in the Epilogue :)

“He loves me,” is the first thing Henry says after Arthur asks what’s got him so torn up.
“Okay,” Arthur says, as if it was a given. Mostly because it was.
Henry turns his head to the side, a confused expression on his face. “Okay?”
“Oh,” Arthur stares back, just as confused. “Did we not know this?”
“We?” Henry asks, bewildered.
“I guess not, then.”
