    Summary

    [“Don’t worry, love,” Sokka tosses over his shoulder, smirking as Zuko’s heat licks up his back. “Second place is still good enough to get your dick w—wait. Mine?”

    Zuko tumbles Sokka onto the bed. “Yours?”

    “You said mine doesn’t have posters.” Sokka shoves his loose hair out of his face, rolling onto his back just in time for Zuko to straddle him. “Meaning yours. Your—crush? You have a crush?”]

    OR

    Zuko has a crush. Detective Wang Fire is on the case. And Sokka--Sokka might have a few questions, too, once he gets past how fun it is to see Zuko so flustered.

    Summary

    Carlos is certainly aware of TK Strand. He wasn’t aware the man had cycled through quite this many teams before being traded to the Dallas Stars. His reputation as a hot-head and a trouble-maker precedes him, but there are dozens of players like that in this league. Carlos has never considered Strand to be significantly worse than any of the rest of them, but maybe he just wasn’t paying close enough attention. The person described in the article he just read doesn’t exactly sound like someone Carlos should be thrilled about having as a new teammate.

     

    Or, the enemies-to-friends-to lovers Hockey AU that no one asked for but I was perhaps born to write.

    Summary

    Love Game: when a player wins a game without allowing their opponent to score a single point.

    Since that fateful US Open semi-final, there have been two words used to describe TK Strand: 'unfulfilled potential'. There's a chance for redemption in there somewhere, and TK is willing to do whatever it takes to fight his way back.

    Carlos Reyes finds himself in New York City due to the widely held belief that although he's rocketed up the ATP rankings, he'll never be good enough training out of Austin. Carlos might be Austin all the way down to his bones, but he also wants to win.

    OR

    The tennis AU that no one asked for, but I wrote anyway, because I love tennis and I also love feelings.

    Summary

    Chief Arnook never assigns Sokka to protect Princess Yue, so he goes to fight the Fire Nation with the other men. When the moon dies and the ocean spirit takes its revenge, Sokka is caught standing on the deck of a Fire Nation ship. Sokka should have drowned… and he would have drowned, if not for a certain Fire Nation raft fleeing the North Pole.

    [An enemies-to-lovers season 2 rewrite, where Sokka is separated from the gaang during the Siege of the North, and travels the Earth Kingdom with Zuko instead].

    Summary

    At Sokka’s behest, the Gaang skips rescuing Zuko during the Siege at the North Pole. Instead they leave him, unconscious, buried in the snow.

    Summary

    [Sokka is five when the first mark appears. 

    It writes itself in a deep red like a wound, as if someone had carved the word “nonbender” in a messy font across the knuckles of his left hand, as if it was handwritten with a knife.

    When he asks his mother, as she applies salve on Sokka’s knuckles, she sighs deeply and says nothing for a few moments. 

    “Sometimes, spirits don’t make much sense.”

    Sokka has yet to turn thirteen when he wakes up screaming in pain, about ten soulmarks all over each other between his left shoulder and his ear, red and vivid like burning flesh. Among the few words that are somehow possible to read out of the disastrous scribbling, “disrespectful” and “coward” and “burned” and “sorry sorry sorry” are the ones that stand out the most to Sokka. He thinks, at the tender age of twelve, whoever did this to his soulmate will be sorry too, one day.

    A month after Hakoda leaves him with the job of the protector at the age of thirteen, Sokka realizes, with a bitter taste in his mouth, that he’s got more soulmarks than his entire village combined.]

    Or, to have a soulmark is to carry the vilest things that your soulmate believes about themselves on your skin.

    Summary

    Mike has lived in New York all his life, so he's not unaccustomed to seeing famous people in real life. He once stood in line at a coffee shop behind Hugh Jackman. He saw Matt Damon at a restaurant once. One time he got into a cab that Anne Hathaway was exiting. He doesn't really get star struck. Except now apparently. Harvey Specter just walked into his shop and Mike's body is reacting, heart beating hard in his chest, breathing becoming more difficult.

    Thankfully Mike is distracted from his minor freak out by someone attempting to rob him.

    [or: Harvey is a famous actor who walks into the bookshop that Mike owns, and yes, this is exactly what you think it is.]

    Summary

    When Jack kissed him at graduation over a year and a half ago, Eric had been too shocked to really think about what it might mean, long-term. They'd talked constantly over the next six weeks, enough for him to feel confident that Jack felt the same way he did, and to start to imagine what those far-off futures might look like together.

    And then Jack came to Madison for the Fourth of July, and Eric made the stupidest mistake of his life: He let himself and Jack talk themselves out of it.

    Summary

    “So I say, before I’m thinking through, I say am getting married,” Geno says and glances up at Sid and then back down again. “They say to American?” Geno seems reluctant to continue. Sid’s stuck on trying to figure out who Geno is marrying and why he didn’t tell Sid about it. “I say, ‘no, to Canadian.'”

    Sid makes a face. Because seriously, Sid feels like he would’ve heard if Geno was dating someone that seriously. But then again, he had no idea Geno had a kid until he was sitting in a hotel room in fucking Finland.

    “Who?” Sid finally asks when Geno seems like he’s not going to continue.

    Geno takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. “You.”

    “Me what?” Sid asks stupidly.

    or

    The summer Russia invaded Ukraine and Geno had to marry Sid: a love story.

    Summary

    “I always believe you can get it in, Jamie Benn.”

    “Dude,” Jamie’s giggle is a little higher pitched than usual, a little thready. “Are you- ”

    “I believe in you so much,” he continues, shuffling a half-step closer so that their arms are pressed together, a line of heat from shoulder to wrist, “that I’ll give you an advanced reward for the goal you’re gonna get in two days.”

    Jamie swears something beautiful when, just like that, Tyler slides to his knees.

     

    Or: it's a dangerous game to play, when sexual superstitions become habit, become falling in love with your best friend and captain.

    Summary

    It wasn’t that Jack was an unreasonable person, of course. He understood how things were supposed to work, that there was an order to them, and that deviations from that order led to problems that ranged from “Top NHL Draft Prospect Drops Out of Hockey, Drops in to Rehab” to “this might be a little hard to explain.” It was just that Eric Bittle made him forget that order.
