Crossroad Encounters of the Spiritual Kind

by MaferNajar23

Uncle Iroh- for some reason Zuko yet again failed to understand -refused to shoot lightning at his nephew. He had said something about it being for safety and health reasons, although it was still a bit unclear for whose health that was.

Zuko's luck had always been bad though, and if he wanted to really make sure he could get an upper hand in his family, he would have to go and look for one himself.

But people should really be careful of what they wish for because they might become true in the least expected ways.

Or: Zuko gets cursed by the spirits and things go different than expected, but also not much changes

Begs to Stick Around

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/HwXShL6

by glyph_of_wolves

The thing about soulmates is that it's more of a hint from the spirits than anything else. Someone somewhere someday will need you... for some reason. Sokka knows this, and he doesn't put too much stock into it. He has enough responsibility as is without the spirits giving him someone else to take care of. But when that extra responsibility comes in the form of an angry Fire Nation Prince who won't let him off his ship, he might just have to roll up his sleeves and get to work.

a matter of time

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/rudz9Wx

by Duckduck_Scribblerswan (Caellie_E_and_Vaye_Rue_Y)

Zuko is a smart kid. He knows many things, like the first five katas from the advanced set his tutors started him on, and the defeat of the Xachu Island rebellions of 44 AG. He knows that Azula was the one who stomped up all of the garden roses two weeks ago, even though she told their mother it was a servant boy. He knows that when he notices a faint burn on the inner curve of his wrist and hears the ticking of clock gears when there's no clocks to be found, he should tell exactly nobody. 

Or, A soulmate timer AU, where soulmates are those whose paths will have great impact on your own, but fate is more easily swayed by choices than it would seem. If both of you make it to a certain point in your lives and your relationship together, the timer goes off, cementing the roles you will have for each other. Until then, anything can happen.

Zuko has five potential soulmates. This changes surprisingly little, in the grand scheme of things.

(Requested by my friend for her birthday, who said, "you know what would be cool? More ATLA family soulmate AUs." And I said "what a great gift idea!" made it into a character study and proceeded to sit on it for two years. Whoops. Happy birthday!)

Hair About You

Hair in the Fire Nation is a private thing. Hair is not touched by anyone outside of family. And certainly never in public. This clashes with the Water Tribe views of hair.

"‘You know, I’m not sure there’s enough space for both you and Kaatuq anymore,’ he teased, running his fingers over the twine that bound the iron spike and curved bone prongs to smooth driftwood to ensure it still held tight.

Katara raised an eyebrow. ‘Like the two of you would catch anything without us.’

‘Hey! I’ll have you know I’m a full-fledged water tribe warrior. Best in the village. Right, Kaatuq?’ Sokka looked expectantly at the hare, who snorted and dipped her head in amusement.

‘Definitely better than the 8-year-olds. I wouldn’t bet against anaanattiaq though, she’s faster than she pretends to be.’ "

 Sokka and Katara catch a rather interesting fish.

He stands there, as young and handsome as the day Iroh lost him. Despite the scars that accentuates his face in a harsh look and the weariness that lines his expression, his eyes still hold a certain gentleness that the war hadn’t taken away, even in death.

And Iroh finds he can’t speak at all. He tries, but his throat is tight, and no words come out. He can only stand there, staring at the son he lost so long ago.

(a few years ago)

(a lifetime ago) - It is only after the war that Iroh sees Lu Ten one last time. And from him, he learns to let go.
