Twice Burned

The story is an alternate timeline and romantic reimagining of Avatar: The Last Airbender focused on Sokka and Zuko. It begins during the final battle of the original series, where Zuko sacrifices himself to save Sokka from Azula's lightning-and both die moments apart. In a liminal afterlife, the fire god Agni takes pity on their shared regret and offers them a second chance: to return to the beginning of the story with their memories intact, bound by a mystical connection that lets them feel each other's emotions and pain.
Reborn as their younger selves-Sokka in the South Pole and Zuko aboard his ship-the two quickly realize the bond is real. Throughout the retelling of familiar events, they struggle to balance their roles as enemies with the growing pull of their spiritual and emotional connection. Their relationship deepens through shared dreams, battles, and stolen moments of trust, affection, and desire, all while they work to change the course of the war and rewrite their fate.
Essentially, it's a soulmate time-travel AU exploring redemption, love, and destiny-showing what might happen if Zuko and Sokka were given the chance to "get it right" the second time around.
