    Summary

    When Sokka tells him there will be a trial, Aang seems almost surprised.

    “A trial?” he asks. “But everyone already knows what they did.”

    Sokka massages his knee, hoping some of the relief will spread to his cast-bound leg. Everything seems to hurt more, now that the war is over. His other hand grips a brush, trying to find what order of words will make everyone do what he wants.

    “I know,” he replies. “But we need one anyway.”

    Finally, just before Sokka tells him to get out, Aang hesitantly asks if he will have to testify.

    Sokka holds his brush steady for a moment, and a drop of ink lands on the parchment. Before he has to ask, Aang gently lifts the mistake from the page and bends it back into the inkwell.

    “I don’t know,” Sokka replies. “I don’t know.”

    -

    Sokka works to bring the leaders of the Fire Nation to justice, and reflects.

    Summary

    All Azula wants is for things to go back to the way they were – her father on the precipice of conquering the world, her own position secure at his right hand. Now, the only secure thing is her, trapped in a gilded cage in her brother's new Fire Nation. Lonely and adrift, Azula would do anything to make it end, until an unexpected connection rekindles a light she long-thought had burned to ashes. But falling for Suki isn't something Azula can let herself do, especially with the world as they know it threatening to crumble around them.

     

    Or: Azula goes to therapy, has an identity crisis, stops actively trying to kill her brother, makes a few friends, and falls in love along the way.

    This is a story of fencing, fighting, torture, poison, revenge, monsters, chases, escapes, lies, truths, passion, miracles, and above all, true love.

    -

    “Return to me.” Sokka said, furtively, furious, passionate.

    Zuko put all of the undying devotion he felt behind the words and said, “As you wish.”

    Zuko turned, and went, and did not come back.

    Summary

    [Sokka is five when the first mark appears. 

    It writes itself in a deep red like a wound, as if someone had carved the word “nonbender” in a messy font across the knuckles of his left hand, as if it was handwritten with a knife.

    When he asks his mother, as she applies salve on Sokka’s knuckles, she sighs deeply and says nothing for a few moments. 

    “Sometimes, spirits don’t make much sense.”

    Sokka has yet to turn thirteen when he wakes up screaming in pain, about ten soulmarks all over each other between his left shoulder and his ear, red and vivid like burning flesh. Among the few words that are somehow possible to read out of the disastrous scribbling, “disrespectful” and “coward” and “burned” and “sorry sorry sorry” are the ones that stand out the most to Sokka. He thinks, at the tender age of twelve, whoever did this to his soulmate will be sorry too, one day.

    A month after Hakoda leaves him with the job of the protector at the age of thirteen, Sokka realizes, with a bitter taste in his mouth, that he’s got more soulmarks than his entire village combined.]

    Or, to have a soulmark is to carry the vilest things that your soulmate believes about themselves on your skin.
