Zuko, ex-fire prince, angry asshole with daddy issues, teaches Aang to firebend in order to overthrow his father and take back his throne. Sokka, soon to be water tribe chief, sarcastic dumbass with a boomerang, is not happy. Both boys seem to be caught in a downward spiral. Will they find comfort in each other? Or will their issues cause them to be hurt even more? after ba sing se and before the invasion. almost everything leading up to it is canon ⚠️TW⚠️: self-harm, depression, ssuicide, smut
