hello, i love your art so much! can you do 11C with zuko?

i went a little extra with this one (thanks for the sweet ask!)

[ID: a comic featuring Azula, Zuko, Suki, Sokka, and Haru from Avatar the Last Airbender. In the first panel, Azula glares at Zuko and asks: "Brother, what are you looking at? Are you even listening?"

Zuko stares dreamily ahead, with a blush on his cheeks.

A closeup of Azula's eyes as she sees what Zuko is admiring. "Oh."

Suki, Sokka, and Haru are shown, and there is a brightness and focus on Sokka. They are dressed in athletic gear, and Sokka is grinning and gesturing as the other two smile and watch on.

"You're a fool, Zuzu," Azula finishes. /End ID.]

college zukka roommates where its 3 am, sokka walks into their dorm and sees zuko playing every version of “please, please, please let me get what i want” with candles light all around his side of the room and notes that say “passing grade” on just about ever surface while zuko is sleeping

(sokka turns around and closes the door to go bother suki into letting him stay in her room for the night)

#college zukka #modern!​zuko is a the smiths fan you can’t convince me otherwise !! #zuko only considers in the morning that MAYBE leaving all the candles lit thoughout the night may have been a fire hazard #IK YOU TYPICALLY CANT HAVE CANDLES/OPEN FLAMS OR CERTAIN ELECTRONICS IN COLLEGE DORMS BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE BIT #they just go to a really obscure college where it can happen #zukka college au #zukka #sclnposting

Zukka as roommates

Sokka: *Engineering major* - working on his third project of the week

Zuko: *PoliSci major, literature minor* - hanging upside down off his bed - “You’re from the south right? Do you think otter-penguins have feelings?”

Sokka: “I understand that you’re royalty but I will literally pay you to shut the fuck up”

modern au where zuko (who wears these glasses) is just minding his own business in his college English class and sokka tweets this from across the room

#Sokka isn’t even an English major he just needed to be in a class with slutty glasses man #ugh I love college AU’s #zukka #atla #zuko #sokka #nylamemes

[momos-servants]

Okay so College AU, Sokka, an engineering major juggling his undergrad studies, takes on a side gig as a math tutor in the library. On the flip side, Zuko, a philosophy major, has confidently avoided math classes. One day, while wandering into the tutoring section of the library, Zuko is star struck. A pretty boy is here and he’s teaching math?!

Intrigued, Zuko starts attending the one-on-one math tutoring sessions. He begged Mai to share her calculus homework with him, providing him an excuse to spend more time with Sokka. Sokka is very obvious to all of this. He doesn’t mind helping Zuko, he actually looks forward to it a lot, but by GOD somebody needs to get Zuko out of a math class. This boy isn’t going to make it in stem.

#Mai: if you’re going to be gay then you can at least do my homework #Zuko: okay bet #avatar the last airbender #zukka #zuko #sokka #college zukka #college au

That Midnight Sky

read it here on ao3

In Zuko’s strict family, needing a tutor is just about the worst thing you could do. Failing a class, however, is even worse. The only rational solution? Take up Aang on his offer to find him a physics tutor and have Sokka—beautiful, smart, handsome Sokka—tutor him in secret.

When Azula’s arrival threatens to reveal Zuko’s secret, it’s up to Sokka to convince her this definitely isn’t what it looks like. See, he’s actually… Zuko’s… boyfriend?

Hmm. There’s no way this could get complicated, right?

Sokka is the host of an obscure little radio show for his college's even more obscure little station, 96.1 FM KBRK. It's not always the glamorous work he imagined, but it's a fun way to share some of his tunes, stay connected with his friends, and monologue about his life—like the hot guy who's lately been occupying his mind far more than he'd like.

Zuko is a lonely philosophy student who finds solace in music. He's taken to listening to KBRK as he buries himself in his studies, and he finds himself especially fascinated by the show of one anonymous DJ Boomerang. But why does the mystery DJ keep mentioning his attraction for a guy who sounds a lot like Zuko? And who is the attractive, ponytailed junior who's reached out to Zuko seemingly out of nowhere?

@zukkaweek

A slightly late submission for Zukka Week Day 4, College AU/The Arts! (It’s an ongoing multi-chapter fic, so I’ll be updating even after Zukka Week ends.) Please enjoy, Zukka Nation!

confession casualties 

+bonus

[ID: A comic of Zuko and Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They are dressed in modern winter clothes, and Zuko is wearing Sokka’s water tribe scarf. It is snowing. They are walking with their shoulders touching, and as Zuko talks, Sokka stares at him fondly.

“Azula said someone could smack me on the back of the head, and I wouldn’t realize they were into me,” Zuko says. “She’s crazy, right?”

With a smile on his face, Sokka hits Zuko on the back of the head, and Zuko cowers and makes an outraged expression. “Ow!” Zuko said. “Why the hell did you hit me?”

Sokka puts one arm comfortingly around Zuko’s shoulder. “Sorry man,” Sokka said with an apologetic look. “I thought I…saw a mosquito.”

“In winter?” Zuko said, with a confused expression on his face.

In the background, Toph snickers. “He did say it wouldn’t work,” she said.

The bonus comic is Sokka and Zuko studying at a table. The caption at the top reads “1 Week Later.”

Sokka drinks water, and Zuko calculates with a confused expression.

Zuko yells: “Holy Sh*t!” and hits Sokka on the back of his head, and water sprays everywhere. “You like me?!?” he said.

The final image is Sokka facedown on the ground, and Zuko standing over him.

“I like you too,” Zuko says.

“Y-Yay,” Sokka says from the ground, and small hearts float above both of them. /End ID.]

zukka college where they spent the last year nonsensically hating each other and now theyre roommates

they go crazy the first month trying to spend as little time possible in each others presence until one night sokka is up really late studying for a test playing music and zuko walks in, stunned sokka is still up, and listens to the music.

its “his music”. why was sokka listening to what zuko would listen to ?

and so he asks sokka whats up with the music choice “surely you would listen to anything else ?”. but sokka shakes his head and says “nope.”

zuko goes to lay down and when sokka gets up to go to the bathroom, zuko puts a bottle of water and a can of some energy drink on the desk for sokka before falling asleep.

Zukka Week 2022 | Day Four: College AU

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Zuko asks.

“I’m waiting for you to answer my question.”

Fuck. Zuko had been so wrapped up in his own thoughts he hadn’t even heard what Sokka asked. He could feel the heat rising to his cheeks and hopes it was dark enough that Sokka couldn’t see.

Sokka inches closer to him, huffing out a breathy, quiet laugh and reaching up to push a strand of hair behind Zuko’s ear. “You were lost in your own head again, weren’t you?”

Zuko nods. He can’t hide his blush now, not with Sokka’s hand brushing against his cheek, lingering.

“I said,” Sokka starts, voice barely a whisper, “would that really be so bad?”

Zuko’s mouth works faster than his brain, apparently, because before Zuko could stop himself, he hears himself say “no” with a shaky breath.

Sokka smiles softly, his thumb tracing Zuko’s jawline. His eyes glance at Zuko’s mouth. Their chests are pressed together and Zuko is sure Sokka can feel how fast his heart is beating. Sokka is staring at him, eyes flitting across his face.

“Zuko,” Sokka whispers and Zuko almost melts at the way he says his name. “Can I kiss you?”

Zuko lets out a breath he doesn’t realize he was holding in, searching Sokka’s eyes. His eyes are dark, dancing between sincere and anxious. “Yes,” he breathes.

Katara dragged him there to see the orchestra for one of his assignments, and Sokka doesn’t understand what was so special about any of this. It’s just instruments, he thinks, why would anyone watch this? Why would anyone study this? He'd rather be in his apartment finishing one of the other fifty things he has to do to round out his senior year fall semester with a chance of graduating next spring.

Until he sees a cello player who's also the most beautiful man he's ever seen, with eyes that burn him in the best way, and suddenly he can't stop going.

--- College AU where Sokka falls hard for cello player Zuko <3

CHAPTER TWO IS UP Y’ALL I’m so excited for you to read it!

[nadunacreates]

i had planned on writing a college AU fic in which to combine all the @zukkaweek prompts that i hadn’t gotten to yet... i procrastinated instead, so hard that i totally forgot about this. but i think today is actually the last day for late submissions, plus there's a summer thunderstorm outside right now, so have this very rushed snippet from the middle of said AU. it's supposed part of a 5+1 thing featuring people knocking on the wrong door of sokka and zuko’s rooms in the college dorms, and then the one time they get it right… but somehow this snippet isn't about that at all ^^ 

it’s set one night when zuko accidentally locked himself out of his own room, and features bedsharing, some chronic pain and a college AU where everyone has magic in addition to the bending... hope you like it, and please tell me if i should actually write this! <3

The sound of the rain would be so soothing, today, if the rain hadn’t also meant that there was a thunderstorm on the way, rolling across the countryside and steadily coming closer.

The sound of the rain would be so soothing, if his scar didn’t hurt because of it, the tissue stiff and aching dully in a way that boded very ill for the next few hours.

The sound of the rain would be soothing, if it didn’t mean that Sokka sighed and got up and opened the window; looked out at the dark clouds on the horizon and said “I love summer storms,” because of course he did.

Zuko rubbed a finger down his forehead, pressed it to the base of his nose, and sighed, too. “Of course you do,” he said.

That made Sokka whip his head around, glare at him in what was probably supposed to be outraged offense, but fell a little to the wayside of fond. “Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?”

Zuko chuckled weakly, because that fondness was dangerous. His tired brain misread it so easily. “Nothing! Just…” He waved his hand around in the air in front of him, let himself fall back down into the (many) cushions of Sokka’s bed. “I hate them, so I guess it makes sense that you love them.”

Zuko could practically hear Sokka frowning, but he didn’t bother to look up again. He wasn’t quite sure why he just said that, but… well, if he was going to stay here tonight it would probably be good that Sokka knew. Then at least he wouldn’t have to worry about (inevitable) Zuko’s nightmares.

The sound of the rain dampened again as Sokka closed the window.

The bed dipped as he sat down at its foot.

They didn’t say anything, for a while.

Zuko didn’t even startle when Sokka eventually lay a hand on his ankle, splayed his fingers when he noticed the cold skin there.

He tapped his thumb against Zuko’s achilles heel, as if he was subconsciously aware of some deeper meaning, as if he saw the irony in it, protecting the very part he made vulnerable (on a metaphorical level), or maybe it was just his magic kicking in. But when Zuko opened his eyes to check, Sokka looked normal — no glowing eyes or tattoos, and when he spoke his voice didn’t have that hollow quality to it that it usually took when he had a vision. Just a coincidence, then, Zuko thought to himself, and scoffed at the very idea of it, right when Sokka asked, “Do you want to talk about it?” and then he promptly choked on his next breath.

It was with much regret that he removed his ankle from under Sokka’s hand, but breathing was kind of the bigger necessity right now, and to breathe he had to sit up, so— at least he got a few pats on his back, until the coughing fit was finally over.

“Sorry,” he said, voice rough, and cleared his throat.

Sokka sat up against the headboard next to him, bumped his shoulder with his own, threw him a smile. “That’s what friends are for, right?”

Yeah, he was absolutely going to ignore the way this made his stomach clench in something like pain. He was going to ignore how he still felt astonished at the concept of having friends; how he still (so very selfishly) wished for more.

“… right,” he said, and ignored how his voice caught all over again.

A flash of lightning illuminated the room, day-bright, for the fraction of a second. Zuko flinched, and stayed tense as he counted down the seconds until thunder followed with a roar. Fuck.

When Sokka pulled at him, he just went with him, and let his friend rearrange them on the bed until both their heads were on the pillow, and Sokka was able to cling to him like a koalaotter.

“So,” Sokka said. “Do you want to talk about it?”

Zuko took a few moments to think about it. He’d known Sokka for long enough now to know that he was always allowed to think, to take his time, and even to answer in the negative should he wish to do so, and Sokka would not be mad. It was one of the things that had made it so easy to fall for him.

The next flash of lightning made the answer rather easy, surprisingly. The thunder did not take long to follow, and Zuko swallowed hard, then said, “yeah.”

Zuko spoke, and Sokka listened, and when the storm had finally moved on, Zuko was out of words, and Sokka was still right there.

Zuko did not go back to his own dorm room that night.

He did not have any (bad) nightmares either.

And when he woke up the next morning, he found himself wrapped around Sokka in turn.

(And when he let himself drift back to sleep, he felt Sokka stir, felt his fingers ghost over a burn scar on his arm, heard him whisper, “love you, too,” and promptly ignored that so hard, because surely that was already the next dream taking him and pulling him under, making him wish for things that could never be true.)

Rating: M

Pairing: Sokka/Zuko

Summary:

Heavily inspired by the Neon Trees album of the same name. Zuko and Sokka haven't spoken for a few months. Things have gotten weird between them. Zuko has a new girlfriend and seems to have moved on. Sokka is trying to grieve what could have been between them. Each chapter follows a different song in the album and a different stage in Zuko and Sokka's messy relationship.

Note: I highly recommend that you listen to each song in the album to set you up for each chapter. I'm not exactly paralleling the themes from each song, but both stories more or less follow the same arc: A poorly defined romance and two broken people who just keep coming back to each other.
