Two months have passed since Zuko was crowned fire lord and it has been more difficult than he could have imagined. When he invites Sokka and Katara to the fire nation, he unknowingly gives birth to a spark he didn't know existed. How will he deal with his newfound feelings, and what will he have to sacrifice along the way? (May eventually contain smut but there will be a warning if there is any)

enemies, to friends, to lovers. ______________ hi there. so, this is modern. they still have bending, ba sing se is a place etc. it's just like ATLA except with technology i guess? not sure how to explain it. but we've got zukka because im in love with it, kataang and then.. toph. but there is not firelord stuff or anything like that. i'm editing this 3 chapters in because it followed the plot line better LMAO suki died. i haven't put too much research into when she died, but i'm gonna say this is like a year or so after the last episode of atla. they need to be aged up LMAO sokka is 17, zuko 18. katara 16 and for the sake of the plot aang is also 16. toph is 15. mature content warning. minimal swearing if y'all care LMAO. its slow burn and a lot of beating around the bush. they don't wanna admit anything and sokkas just overall afraid to love again after every woman or girl he's loved has died in some form. minus katara and toph. zukos head over heels you could say, he's realizing what affection really feels like. so this leaves him questioning

Zuko has just joined the 'gaang' at the Western Air Temple, which is where he formally meets Sokka. The two quickly become good friends since the age gap is so small, but soon they realize they don't want to be just friends.

Zuko has been nurturing a crush on the jock in his AP Psych class but he has been too scared to talk to him until they get paired up for a project.
