pov: you walk into a wedding afterparty thrown by the avatar’s brother-in-law and you see these two on the other side of the atla-world-equivalent of the beer pong table. you immediately know you’re screwed.

this piece was inspired by the early chapters of @the-power-of-stuff’s amazing fic ‘The Words To Keep You’ ! u should all 10000% go read it if u haven’t already!
also also also suki’s outfit was taken from @it-is-sooz-again’s art of the same fic! check it out here :)
i intended to make this piece fit the ‘an ocean apart’ prompt or generally the theme of reuniting. initially i was gonna draw them both separate but they looked too good together. oh sukka the power couple that you are…
There were so many great prompts; thank you everyone for submitting ideas and voting! There were also a lot of ties, so I took some liberties and combined prompts with a similar vibe to make room for all the top votes. Does this mean we technically have like 17 prompts for Sukka Week 2023? Yes, and I am not sorry about it.
And if that wasn't enough, I threw in some wild cards! Because we do have some repeats of prompts from prior Sukka Weeks, I grabbed a few of my favorites from this year's submissions and threw them into the mix, along with a handful of other ideas I had. These are freebies: feel free to use them on any day of the event if that day's prompts don't jibe with you. Or you can ignore them entirely! I hope this will give everyone plenty of fun stuff to choose from.
So! Without further ado...
Sukka Week 2023 Prompts
Day One (Oct 15): Wild West or One Bed Trope
Day Two (Oct 16): An Ocean Apart/Homecoming or Soulmates
Day Three (Oct 17): Family/Blade Babies or Fake Dating

Day Five (Oct 19): Superhero AU or Hair

“What's got you so distracted and so mellow tonight?”
For @sukka-week . Prompt: One Bed.
Happy @zukki-week sadly I am far to busy to contribute properly this year and match the days themes but I couldn’t not at least draw my favourite trio for the occasion!
@zukki-week starts early in these parts (because I wrote too much and need to lead in to the actual prompts)! Featuring the confusing line between best friends and dating, Zuko's lack of a blueprint for any and all new social situations, banter, flirting, obliviousness, getting together (for some people involved), and Toph realizing she's surrounded by idiots.
[Not that Zuko needed to be told, of course. It was always obvious that Sokka and Suki were together, or going to be together, or in the process, or…whatever. Zuko just didn’t realize they were finally together together. And it feels like he should have. They’re his friends, his two best friends out of the whole seven he tentatively thinks he can claim for himself these days, and it just feels…
It just feels like he should have known.]
OR,
Sokka and Suki are thrilled that they and Zuko are all officially together, while Zuko very abruptly realizes that Sokka and Suki are finally dating.
Which is okay. Obviously. He's happy for them. Really.
The most important rule is to have some Sukka fun! But here's a few guidelines to help us all have a good time
1) First and foremost, to submit a work for Sukka Week, please tag @sukka-week in your post.
You can also use the #sukkaweek and #sukkaweek2023 tags on your post, but the best way for me to see your submission is to @ this blog (and keep in mind that this blog has a hypen; there's another another blog without a hyphen so just watch out for that).
2) Sukka (romantic relationship between Sokka and Suki) should be the primary ship in your work.
Including other ships in your work is totally fine, but they shouldn’t break Sukka.
For the purposes of this event, poly ships that contain Sokka and Suki don’t count as Sukka. Stories where Sokka and/or Suki are in another relationship towards the beginning but Sukka is endgame are okay! However, the work should contain more Sukka than it does the other ship(s).
3) It's okay for the work to focus primarily on Sokka or Suki as independent people, as long as Sukka appears somewhere (and fits the criteria above).
For example, if I wanted to write a fic that's mostly about Suki's character development after the war, and Sokka appears in less than half the story, but they're still a couple and they think about each other/write to each other/visit each other once in a while, then that still fits for this event!
Or, if I wanted to draw a picture of a grown-up Sokka and a grown-up Foo Foo Cuddlypoops charging into battle, and I put Suki's face in the background with big pink heart eyes, that would also fit for this event!
4) Please tag all your content appropriately!
This includes mature or potentially triggering content like NSFW and violence, as well as content like additional ships.
5) Yes, NSFW content is allowed.
Intimate content should be consensual in nature, and please make sure to follow the guidelines of whatever platform is hosting your work.
As an FYI, this blog will use the tag #spicysukkaweek for any NSFW content in case you’d like to block these types of works.
6) Submissions should be previously unpublished.
One of the goals of this events is to inspire people to create brand-spankin’-new Sukka works! If you would like this blog to promote your existing works, I’m happy to do so during the lead-up weeks prior to the actual event week. Feel free to shoot me an ask or DM with a link.
That said, unpublished chapters to pre-existing works are okay! As are works that are cross-posted to simultaneously-occurring events.
7) If possible, it would be helpful to provide descriptions of visual or audio content.
e.g., image descriptions for fanart, edits, gifs, etc. and transcripts for audio content. I will do my best to remember to provide these descriptions when reblogging if they haven’t been included already.
8) Any kind of creative work goes!
We're not limited to fics and digital drawings! Want to create a new Sukka-Wild-West-AU-themed playlist? Please do! (I'd seriously love to hear what that sounds like.) Got inspired to do some Family-themed incorrect quotes? Have at it! Want to do a podfic of an existing Sukka story that gives you Battle Lovers vibes? That would be beautiful! (With the original author's permission, of course.) Don't feel like you have to write seven different 5k-word one-shots to participate in Sukka Week. (I'll try to take my own advice here, too. ;))
Any questions, comments, or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to this blog or Mod Myargalargan (@the-power-of-stuff) via ask or private message.
