Mod News Welcome to the subreddit! - a brief introduction
Hello, "Pumpkin" here! I'm the one active moderator of the subreddit. I joined as a mod back in 2022 when the founder asked if anyone was interested to join as they had lost interest. It's been a while since then, and my introduction to you is a bit overdue, but since I am actively working on the subreddit for the first time (you may have noticed our new icon or remember I added rules the other week), I thought I might as well do it now (better late than never, after all). I'm new to subreddit moderation but I'm trying my best and hope you'll feel comfortable reaching out if you have any concerns. I'm an easily overwhelmed individual but I'll still try my best.
So! With your lone(ly) moderator's introduction out of the way...
What's up with the subreddit?
This is a subreddit dedicated to Zukka (note: the ship between Zuko and Sokka from the show Avatar: The Last Airbender, not the bikes, just so we're clear), of course.
We welcome art, fanfiction, playlists, edits, self-promotion, recommendations, shoutouts, headcanons, hot takes, cold takes, memes, and anything related to Zukka in general. We also welcome general discussion of the show (but remember we're still in a Zukka community).
All we ask is that you keep a respectful tone, don't spam, and always give credit where credit is due. For more detailed rules, please check our rules.
Feel free to introduce yourselves under this post if you wish, or stay a mysterious lurker if that's more to your liking.
Welcome, and happy shipping!

General Fanfic Discussion need help finding a fic
I need help finding this one fic I think might have been deleted.
i think it was a zukka fic but it could have just been platonic, my memory is fuzzy. a lot of it was from the pov of a teacher who worked at the high school everyone attended. she was suspicious about zuko's home life and eventually got him to open up about him being abused by ozai and helped him leave the situation. the author had given everyone last names based on their nationalities too (i believe zuko was zuko nomura and he was japanese, but i don't remember all the rest).
it's been on my mind for a long time and i can't seem to be able to find it again, so i would appreciate the help TT

Fic Recs I need help finding two fanfics (and if possible, any recommendations).
Hi! I want to apologize in advance for the favor I'm about to ask, but I need help finding two fanfics, and I'd also appreciate any recommendations.
The first fanfic was about Sokka and Zuko being attacked or getting hit hard on the head. When Sokka woke up, he heard a voice in his head that he couldn't quite make out; eventually, he realized it was Zuko's voice and that they could both hear each other's thoughts (i.e., telepathy).
The second fanfic might sound a bit strange, but I remember it was about Sokka living in a cabin in a place where it snowed a lot, and one winter, he saved a bird from freezing to death (or something like that). Some time later, a stranger (Zuko) knocked on Sokka's door. It was eventually implied that Zuko was the same bird Sokka had saved earlier. I also remember that Zuko had some kind of wound and that Ursa, Zuko's mother, had died skiing or something like that.
I know that asking for help to find these fanfics is already quite a lot, but I really need recommendations.
I'd like to read a fanfic about Sokka being on Zuko's ship and how, because of that, they gradually get to know each other better, or something like that. I really liked the fanfic 'These Things Written' by erisenyo, so I guess I'd also like it to have the slow burn tag and, if possible, the bottom Sokka tag. I don't necessarily need the story to be completely smutty, but I'd love to read a story like that again.
Thank you so much for all the fanfic recommendations I've found here. Although I don't know much about fanfics and don't have a huge repertoire to share, I'd be happy to share fanfic titles with you.

Fic Recs zukka fanfic recs!
Please drop your favorite Zukka fics! I especially love stories set in the ATLA universe (bonus points for post-war, but not required). I’m a sucker for slow burns, great characterization, and fics that really capture Zuko and Sokka’s personalities.
I'm currently reading The Art Of Burning and I've read Feels Like We Only Go Backwards and (Do You Takes This Jerk To Be) Your One And Only. Check them out if you haven't done so!

OC Fanfiction I've been OBSESSED with Zukka for weeks and i wrote a lot of post-canon stuff and just wanted to share my joy and love for them <3

https://archiveofourown.org/series/6211516
And if anyone who's already read them are viewing this post - hey :D
I wanna keep writing but i'm losing steam with the ideas, does anyone have any fluff and/or smut plot for one-shots or short multi-chapters they might enjoy seeing in a fic? 🤔

General Fanfic Discussion help finding fic?
the main thing i remember something about zuko being hired to do manual labor for a guy he’s given a meal and also a place to sleep which is better than other places he’s worked?
i think in this one he has fully exiled and the gaang finds him and takes him in for a bit (on a job premise) and then they separate before finding each other again?

Fic Recs Help find: sick fic after the storm
(FOUND!)
Trying to find a zukka fic I read years ago, the premise is after the storm sokka gets captured on zukos ship, and comes down with a terrible sickness (feverish etc.) and at first zuko is hesitant to help him, but as he gets worse he starts to take care of him and they get to know each other better. This all takes place on the ship and I think it ended with a cliffhanger for a part two that never got written
The fic name I believe was one word beginning maybe with a or e?
Thank you!!!

Discussion Star wars Zukka AU
I had this idea like star wars but it's zuko and sokka. I'm just inspired by Padme and Anakin, they're so tragic tbh 😭. And I kindaa wanna write them but I haven't continued watching the atla book 2 and 3 yet. So I kinda wanna continue watch it, so I could understand the characters. And at the same time, I want to write it immediately.
The thing is I'm not familiar with the star wars yet, I've only watched two movies of it. But I still wanna write it 🥹.
Any tips or other ideas how to start? I'm still thinking HAHAAHHAH

Fic Recs Can anyone recommend some Sokka bottom fanfics to me? I'm really hungry 🥲
r/zukka • u/Blue__Bat • May 18 '26
Fic Recs Plss help me find this fic:((
That's the fanfic where Sokka and Zuko are locked in a cold room at Boiling Rock (I don't know why the two of them had to be in there, hiding from the guards or something).
Finally, Zukka used his last ounce of strength to bend the fire and escape; that's all I remember. But those hours in the cold room with the two of them, the chemistry were really good:D
I read it a long time ago, probably around 2021, and now I can't find it again; it's like I'm haunted by it.

Fic Recs what's with the fandom's propensity to write pregnant zuko cuz he's been sa'd?
open ao3 under Zuko/Sokka tag, filtered Pregnant Zuko and the most popular ones are about Zuko getting r@ped by villains and got pregnant... i wont have a problem if it's just one fic but it's multiple, by different people 😭 I just wanna read zukka mpreg maybe find a fluffy and not get traumatized by this? the one where zhao is the father is just eeky to me

General Fanfic Discussion searching for a zukka fic—ghost zuko who only Sokka can see?
hiya! i read this fic a LONG time ago, before i had a real AO3 account?? it was something where Zuko died (i think it was at the northern water tribe) and he became connected to Sokka as a ghost (i think because Sokka was the once who decided to leave him in the snow)?? and then only Sokka could see him, and Azula had some kind of demon/evil spirit following her that she believed was her mother?
last thing i remember from it was that Sokka and Zuko ended up in a fire nation prison, and Zuko possessed Sokka's body, because he could waterbend with Sokka's body and escape? and the evil spirit was telling Zuko that he'd end up feeding off of Sokka in the same way that the spirit was feeding off of Azula?
i tried searching through the "Ghost Zuko" tag, but couldn't find it there, and i don't quite know what other tags to search? i remember it being a pretty long fic too?
