Summary
“Your most exalted highness, it is an honour to be able to represent my nation and family by serving a son of the Water Tribe chiefdom. I hope to prove myself equal to the task, and worthy of the trust this great, distinguished nation has placed in me.”
Zuko bows again, lower this time, clearly subservient. It’s like the weight of the moment is physically bearing down on his shoulders; Zuko, the son of a genocidal tyrant, bowing to a man from a race his father tried to annihilate. A prince of the Fire Nation willingly submitting, volunteering to devote his life to the protection of a future chief of the Water Tribes. This is the kind of moment that echoes throughout history.
“…dude.” Sokka’s eyebrow, if possible, jumps higher. “Anyone ever tell you you come on a little strong?”
After an attempt on the future chief’s life by those who oppose the unification of the Water Tribes, it is decided that he, as a non-bender, requires a bodyguard to ensure his safety. A young prince of the Fire Nation is granted the privilege and honour of the task.
Zuko, after about a day and a half spent with Sokka, privately thinks it’s a fucking miracle no one’s tried to murder him before.

Summary
Zuko’s life, when he was still performing, had been an endless stream of attractive musicians; puffed up egomaniacs who thought they were god's gift to the music industry. He thought he’d known every type of rockstar, and at the end of the day they were really all the same.
Never any drummers, though.
Never anything like Sokka. -

If there's one thing Dex knows for certain, it's that the Force works in mysterious ways, and it wants him, personally, to suffer.

Summary
Zuko is courting Katara, and with every passing day finds new and insane ways of showing that he would quite literally move the spirit world and earth to make her happy.
In hindsight, it probably would've been better if Sokka had realised he was in love with Zuko at literally any time before this. Or preferably, never fallen for his best friend in the first place.
