Guys, I found the perfect Sokka creature.
So we all know the dragon Zuko au, where he turns into a dragon, right? And I thought "hey, what if other nations have that too?" So I started my research.
The first creature I thought of was Tangie, because it's perfect for a fanfic. It's a water horse beast, that can appear as either a horse or a handsome man. When someone mounts it in horse form it's pretty safe until Tangie smells water. Then the back becomes adhesive and human can't escape. Tangie takes human to water and eats it.
Zukka fanfic where Zuko wants to put himself in danger (again) with no consideration for his own safety (again) and self sacrifice for others (again), but Sokka in horse form turns on his adhesive trait and literally carries him to safety like "no you stay right here"? Yes please.
BUT!
I thought, why force our western mythology here? So I searched for Inuit creatures, since you know, water tribe is based on Inuit culture. There aren't a lot of them on Wikipedia, so it didn't take long to look through every single one and guys
Guys.
Akhlut.
Do you guys know what an akhlut is? You probably don't, so let me tell you. Akhlut is an orca that becomes a wolf once it steps on land. It also has a merge form.
Do you know what looks an awful lot like it was inspired by orca, or at least has orca colors?
THAT'S RIGHT!
Do you guys know what was definitely inspired by wolves?
EXACTLY!
He already is an orca wolf! What's more, most of ATLA animals are merged from two animals, so it even fits lore! Tangie is perfect for fanfics, but akhlut is perfect for Sokka.
Why isn't this common in fanfics? Why isn't it popular? Besides, look at this good boy.
Baby Sokka akhlut.
EDIT: okay so maybe Sokka's war paint doesn't look all that orca-ish, but not having it in front of my eyes I thought it fit so I kept it in the post even after I double checked it. It has the colors. That's enough for me.

FTS -
Either A) A moment just past realized devastation of losing someone most important, and tears streaming down their faces, thankful that they're both still alive.
Or B) Very similar to A except - it's this moment of a crippling release of emotion when they meet back up after an incredibly stressful time apart. Tears streaming down their faces as they kiss, desperately holding one another.
I foresee great tragedy in both the past and the future of this fic. And I AM FREAKING HERE FOR IT! </3
The North
Both? Both! The first one isn't technically a kiss...but it could be considered a spoiler ;)
