Zukka Week 2025

Hello everybody! Sorry for the long wait, but Zukka Week is back with new mods and we are ready to get things up and running again!

Our first order of business is nailing down the dates for this year's Zukka Week. We want to give everyone as much time as possible to create, so we're aiming to have it sometime in November, before everyone gets busy with the winter holidays.

Please vote for your preferred dates below! If you are not planning on creating anything for Zukka Week, we ask that you please abstain from voting—but feel free to reblog this post to get the word out to anyone who might be interested in participating!

Prompt submissions will begin once the dates have been decided.

Happy Zukka Week!

Sokka positioned himself and his skeleton fleet before the Fire Nation ships. He was in his element, back in his own ship, amidst the flurry of battle. The fate of the battle at his fingertips. He plopped himself across from Osha and pulled out a board. “Pai sho?” Her eyes boggled. “Are you mad?” “It’s hard to play by yourself.”

“I mean—” Sokka breathed out noisily. “You don’t have to keep it. I was just fiddling around, I know you’re not into… Anyway. Sorry.” He laughed. “Just— Look, don’t mind—” And Zuko’s hand snaked up to his collar to pull their mouths together.

Zuko turned around, lifted the spyglass to his eye. “Tell me what we’re fighting for. Tell me about your planet.” “Katara never told you?” The faint light of Emptiness III picked out the silver strands in Zuko’s hair. Like the threads that falling stars drew through the night. “I want to hear it from you.”

“Then what would you do?” said Zuko, batting his hand aside. “Let them succumb slowly and starve?” “No,” said Sokka. Then, “You won’t like this…” “Tell me anyway.” “We could make it quick for them. And no one has to touch them. Atmospheric entry.” He winced at the incredulity dawning on Zuko’s face. “I said you wouldn’t like it…”

“Zuko?” He put a finger under the seneschal’s nose, rested the back of his hand against Zuko’s cheek. A puff of air, a touch of warmth. Sokka could have sobbed out of relief, and when he registered the emotion it frightened him.

When they peeled the spacesuit off him, they’d found his body bleeding and bruised, a rib or two cracked. His room was now stuffed full, dangling charms and baskets of fruit, silk sachets of strong smelling herbs, wind chimes tinkling in the chill breeze on the balcony: the well-wishes of everyone on the planet who loved him. Like this, it was hard to stay angry at him for long. Sokka was determined to try.

“They’re going for the twins,” said Zuko. “They’re spreading out around the ice, they know—” and inevitably, like the scratchings on an oracle bone, the image was stuttering into view on their planetside radio map. Around the disrupted frequency of the Siqiniq and Taqqiq’s ice wall, the remnant Fire Nation ships were spreading out, the asteroids that had been fencing them in all scattered by now— “We’re going after them,” said Zuko.

When Zuko hit the floor the teacups clattered down with him: one shattered, one rolled under the brazier. Sokka pinned him down. He felt the pulse of each staccato breath under his sock. Zuko did not look too put out. The firelight shivered over his scarred eye. The exposed cleft of his throat bobbed. "You win."

Zuko spoke before the council, and he spoke like a war-worn general. Then again, Sokka supposed, he had become quite adept at speechmaking in the last few months. “I have asked much of you,” he said to the gathered council. “All our livelihoods, the war you escaped, and the peace you’ve found here. That’s going to be shattered, and for my part I apologise again for bringing it to your door."

Sokka splashed a line of water through his path. The fire fizzled. Zuko’s eyebrow raised, then he forged on. The path zigzagged out of the constellation, hopped eastwards through the galaxy’s north. Hiss. Hiss. Sokka met him each time with a streak of water. Zuko pressed on, building rhythm with each star he joined up.
