Avatar Dark-fic Meme!!!!

[avocado_love]

Hey all! beckyh2112  is having a anti whump-Zuko meme. It's gonna be good, but I thought it would be fun to explore the... darker side of our favorite fandom, in contrast.

This is not just Zuko-whump meme, per say. All Avatar characters are welcome in order to explore their darkest sides. After all, the road to hell is paved with good intentions isn't it? *Grin*

So go on and reply with up to 4 requests. I promise to do at least 1 from everyone, so do your darnest to be dark. (Although I'm drawing the line at rape and incest.)

Hakoda's Secret Weapon PART 5

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

“I’ll talk to my dad,” Sokka says, squatting down carefully out of arms reach. He doesn’t want to touch Zuko – doesn’t know what to do for him at all. “They can’t treat you this way. I’ll tell him that the Fire Lo—your father—.”

“There’s been enough time for him to receive the letter and send back word three times already,” Zuko snaps. “I wrote the letter myself. I begged. I may not have honor, but I’m still his son. I—he doesn’t want me, think’s I’m weak…” he trailed off, lifting his head, looking at his hands and wrists that were skinned to blood. The words ‘He’s right’ floated in the air afterwards, unsaid.

Then Zuko turned to Sokka. His voice is flat. “Your father is worse.”

Sokka stiffens. “Shut up.”

“He killed my uncle. Killed him even when he had us surrender! Executed my crew—”

He cringes when Sokka grabs his arm, although only for a moment, catching himself as soon as he does it. But it’s the cringe that stops Sokka short from hitting him. Besides, it looks like Zuko’s been knocked around enough as it is.

“Chief Hakoda knows what’s going on,” Zuko continues, after a tense moment. “He allows it. Probably orders it.”

Sokka swallows hard. “The Fire Nation killed my mother.” He’s not trying to make excuses. He’s not. He’s not.

“I’m sorry.” And to his surprise, Zuko looks away. But he speaks again and he’s not apologizing for Sokka’s mother’s death. “I know what it’s like when your family turns out different than what you think.”

“Shut up,” Sokka repeats, and to his surprise, Zuko does.
