Summary
A world where the Avatar has disappeared from memory. Where Sozin’s Conquest was successful. Where the unsteady order of the empire is threatened as members of the royal family are picked off one by one and lines are slowly drawn in the sand.
One last chance for peace forces an unlikely alliance between a homesick waterbender, a carefree Air Nomad, a runaway Earth Kingdom heiress, and the fire lord's inscrutable son. Together they must learn to shed old enmities and become the balance they seek to restore to the world.
OR:
The avatar has four heads.

Summary
‘I’m Katara, by the way. 12B.’
‘Zuko. 12A.’
‘You don’t say much.’
He shrugs. No, he doesn’t. Not anymore. He has less than nothing of value to say, why bother wasting anyone’s time with it?
-
Zuko has made some life shattering mistakes. Recently sober for the first time since he dropped out of high school, he finally has a chance to make something of this life— if he can just choose to live it. Katara has never felt more alone. She’s weeks away from receiving her degree, already crafting her cover letter for the job she’s been working towards for five years… but life feels empty without her friends and family.
Lonely, and with a shared balcony and interest in tea and gardening, they help carry each other’s burdens and learn something along the way.

Summary
On days when they’re not too busy, Sokka will drag Zuko away to spar. They go to a courtyard that’s far away from everything else, they take off their bindings under their shirts, and they practice with their swords for a while. Sokka’s good, but Zuko’s better, and he almost always wins, but there are times when Sokka manages to sit astride Zuko’s chest, almost straddling his hip bones, and he’s sure that Zuko could push him off if he wanted to, but he always just freezes instead. And so Sokka cackles and grins and holds the tip of his sword a hair's breadth away from Zuko’s throat and waits for him to yield.
Some days, though, when Zuko spends the daylight hours training Aang and sparring with Toph, while Sokka goes hunting or fishing, they don’t see each other until dinner time. On those days, Sokka will make some hollow excuse and walk with Zuko to his room, and they’ll sit back to back and drink tea until one of them either starts to fall asleep or until one of the others comes knocking.

or, the story of two boys learning to be themselves, and maybe falling in love with each other along the way.

Summary
“You know I’m a little bit in love with you, right?” Sokka says after a while, muffled into Zuko’s hair. The other boy makes a little noise of surprise and stiffens up for a moment, but then he melts back into Sokka, as if he’s trying to eliminate every bit of space between them.
“Really?” Zuko whispers.
“Really,” Sokka says, raking a hand through his hair.
“Oh,” Zuko says. “Well, that’s good, because I’m a little bit in love with you too.”

Or, in a world where you start having prophetic dreams about your future with your soulmate after you first meet them, Sokka and Zuko struggle to find their place. (They'll find it eventually, I swear.)
