Summary
Sokka receives an offer of an arranged marriage from the Northern Water Tribe. On the one hand, accepting would strengthen ties between their tribes. On the other hand, Chief Arnook has suggested Hahn as a potential match, and Hahn sucks. But with the future of the Southern Water Tribe Reconstruction project relying heavily on the good will of the North, Sokka doesn’t know how to say no.
(Katara doesn’t have to deal with this. Katara is dating the Avatar.)
Zuko has a solution. Sokka just wishes he’d realized he was in love with the Fire Lord before he agreed to pretend to date him.

Chest-Tightening Confusion by kkfunky

Summary
It wasn't a big deal, really; Sokka knew lots of queer people. Suki had a girlfriend now, he thought with a bit of pain, and that didn't bother him other than the sting of the breakup itself. He knew that Toph had girlfriends and boyfriends, and Aang had told him that the Air Nomads of the past never thought to put a label on anything, letting monks love whom they wanted to without judgment.
So why did the idea of Zuko liking a guy make his stomach churn uneasily? Why did his chest clench at the thought of him being with a man?
or
Sokka doesn't know why he feels weird about Zuko coming out. Stupidly, he mistakes his jealousy for homophobia.

Summary
Zuko tucked his face into the crook of her neck. She smelled like sea salt, and shower oil and likely his smoky cologne. "Wake up," he pleaded, pouting against her skin.
There was a soft interruption. The sound of feet padding on the floorboards as they got closer in the rhythm of the restrictive gait of someone who'd been told not to run in the hallway.
"Daddy?"
Zuko shot up in a jiffy, propped on one elbow, craning to see past Mai to the doorway. "Izumi, my little turtleduck!" he beamed, throwing his arms out.

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.
