taylor! i am offering you this: prince! sokka and appointed knight! y/n. no, i will not be elaborating. -🌈 anon
this is it. this is the final piece of my blog and i can pass away happily with this thought only, swirling around my head.
rainbow anon, HOW have i never thought of this before. you're the only one who can be blamed if i write a drabble based off of this now.
in an atla AU where There Is No War, the southern water tribe can still be a dangerous place, and it's even more dangerous when you're the Crowned Prince of your Nation. Or that's what all the advisors tell Sokka, not that he'd know, he's never allowed out of the palace unless it's for sanctioned activity; some party or some other boring meeting he has to go to.
But Sokka always been so curious!! He's given the best tutors the SWT has to offer and then they ask for complacence from him? they teach him the wonders of the world that live outside of this frigid palace and expect him to not want to go there??!!!! so no one can blame him if he wants to see the great city of Ba Sing Se and the huge walls they built long ago, when the world was a much scarier place. It's only the tutors fault if Sokka wants to travel to all the Airbender temples and meet with his friend Aang and learn all about airbender culture from the airbenders themselves! (plus Aang says they have the best fruit pies in the whole world, and Aang's actually gotten to travel the world, so he would know). Why wouldn't Sokka want to visit Zuko and Azula and Mai and Ty Lee in the Fire Nation without guards flanking his every move??
But Sokka has no means, and no way to get out of the Water Tribe and onto a boat anywhere without getting caught. I mean he's smart, but not street smart. He only mentions wanting to leave for a bit ("Just to get away, Katara! Not forever!") to Katara once before she's knocking at his door three nights later with a scheming look in her eye. "You said you wanted to travel the world? I can help you with that."
In enters Y/N. Sokka knows that he's never seen her around before, he'd remember that, so where exactly did Katara find her?!
"She's a knight-in-training, but she used to travel a lot with her family and she's really good. I see her training when I'm out practicing my waterbending."
Y/N gives a little bow, but the smirk on her face makes Sokka blush because that felt really mocking. "So Prince Sokka, what do you say? Are we going to run away together?"
