Now and Forever
@atla-trifecta-modern-au-week Day 4 is a tad late, but I still hope y'all enjoy! Little Sukka for the dash :)
......
“You can’t play with us!”
The words stung, but Suki didn’t back down. “I can play with you!”
“You can’t outrun me!”
Suki frowned and gritted her little teeth. “Yes I can!” “Prove it! Race me, right now.”
She did, and she won.
To the boy’s credit, he didn’t cry, he didn’t whine. He actually…
Apologized?
“I’m sorry I was mean to you. You can play with us. I’m Sokka.”
Suki looked at the boy, surprised by the change of events. She took his outstretched hand and shook it. “I’m Suki.”
The boy’s grin went from one ear to the other. And when Suki saw Sokka’s smile, it was familiar. It felt warm and sweet and she knew that she needed to make him smile again. “Let’s play!”
……
Seven years later…
“Leave him alone!” she growled.
“What are you gonna do about it,” the kid mocked.
She didn’t bother to reply with words. Instead, she found a knuckle sandwich proved most effective, knocking the bully flat on his ass. Suki turned to face Sokka, and by the look on his face, he was either impressed, shocked, scared, or a combination of all three. “Are you okay?” she asked.
He smiled at her, the smile that made her straighten her posture and the corners of her lip twitch up with his. “You’re always gonna have my back, aren’t ya?”
“For now and forever,” she confirmed.
Sokka nodded, but the grin turned smirk told her that he was going to lighten the mood. “That was so cool, Suki. You gotta teach me that!”
Suki laughed, because even in stressful situations, he never ceased to make her smile. “Sure thing, Sokka. But, later. Let’s get out of here!”
“After you!”
……
Four years later…
She couldn’t stop crying.
They all knew this day was coming, but losing her grandmother was such a foreign concept to her. She didn’t realize how finite life was until she ran out of time with one of her favorite people.
It wasn’t fair.
It wasn’t fair, and of all the people that understood that, it was him. Because he held her as she cried, caring for her the way no one else could in her time of need. She didn’t want family, not a partner, not a colleague or a counselor or a classmate.
She wanted him. Her best friend.
He said nothing, because there was nothing to say. But she held his hand as it rested on her shoulder, because his hands were warm and supportive and they were always there to help her up when she needed it.
And for that, she was grateful, now and forever.
……
Two years later…
“Will you please tell me what’s wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing is wrong,” she replied curtly.
“Doesn’t sound like it.” Sokka wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, pulling her closer to him. “C’mon, babe. It’s gonna be fine! It’s only for the summer.”
And that was when she had it. For months, fear bubbled inside of her, and she managed to keep it at bay for this long.
Not anymore, though.
She pried his hands off of her and snapped at him. “That’s what you say now! But then college starts, and it’s gonna be another month here! An internship there, another summer lost. And what happens when you graduate?? You’re gonna move away and find someone else.”
“Wow, you really planned out my whole life after my study abroad program,” he teased.
Suki glared at him, and Sokka went to placate her. “Hey, Suki. You don’t have to worry, it really is just for the summer.”
“But everything else could still happen. You could leave, go off to school a thousand miles away.”
“I could, but I won’t,” he promised.
“Sokka, you can’t hold yourself back because of me—”
“I’m not. Listen, you said you’d have my back now and forever, and while I never told you this, but I made a promise that day you kicked that bully’s ass.
“I promised I’d have your back, now and forever. No matter how far away I am, I’ve got you.” He tilted her head up to face his, and she saw that smile. That smile that pulled her in when she was five, the one that made her smile through the best of times and the worst.
And when she stared at him, marveling at his dazzling grin, she knew that even if they were miles away for the summer, she’d be okay.
They would be okay.
Now and forever.
……
Four years later…
“I’ll take mine to go, please,” Sokka said to the cashier, then directed his attention to his friend. “Cheer up, buddy, you’ll find someone!”
“I’m not so sure Sokka,” Aang commented with a sigh. “We can’t all find our partner at the ripe old age of 5…”
“Okay, Mr. Gloom and Doom,” he mumbled with an eye roll. “Suki and I are a rare case. But don’t fret, friend! My sister found her boyfriend in the weirdest way, you know?”
“True,” Aang admitted.
“If she can find love at therapy, I’m sure you can find someone.”
“But where?” he asked. “I just feel like it’s been forever since I looked for dates or anything, and—I don’t know.”
Sokka took a sip of his latte, then said, “Just get active in different activities! You know, my sister is going to a Swing Dance class with her boyfriend tomorrow, you should go! Probably time you meet her and everything. How you haven’t met her yet is beyond me…”
“You’re her brother, you tell me,” Aang jabbed.
“Yeah, yeah,” Sokka replied with a flippant hand. “But listen, I gotta go. I’ve got a hot date tonight. We’ll talk later, yeah?”
Aang waved at Sokka as he sat down in his usual table. “Sounds good. I’ll see you around, buddy. Say hi to Suki for me!”
“See ya bud!”
But as Aang watched his friend exit the Jasmine Dragon, his heart jumped out of his chest when he saw her...

A Smashing First Encounter
Hey everyone! @atla-trifecta-modern-au-week Day 3 was a little late for me, but still. This story is also found on AO3. Thanks for reading :)
This is kind of a meet ugly. Kind of LOL.
......
He couldn’t stop bouncing his leg.
Like, good grief it was just one appointment, he could handle a shrink.
But really, he didn’t want to. And he really didn’t know why he even agreed to meet this Dr. Lee in the first place. Perhaps it was to get the patrons of the coffee shop to stop staring at him, or maybe he felt a sense of obligation to the woman in blue...
She was the calm in the storm, the voice of reason as he lashed out in the coffee shop, tossing his computer off the table. It was nothing to get upset over, but after a terrible conversation with his father and school wearing down on him with each passing week, Zuko momentarily lost it when he couldn’t figure out his stupid homework assignment.
Unfortunately for him, it seemed that every patron in the Jasmine Dragon saw his computer’s… uh… demise.
While he expected to get kicked out or to gather up the pieces of his laptop or perhaps get called a freak, the woman in blue just… helped him. She said nothing as she wiped away the spilled coffee and helped him clean up the mess, and when Zuko apologized to the cashier about his outburst, the woman in blue followed him out.
“Are you—” the woman paused. “Um, are you feeling better?”
Zuko stared at the woman, a little surprised at her question, but also, he kind of expected it. But before he could even answer her, he hesitated.
Her eyes were… sparkling. A piercing, fierce blue that actually matched her sweater. And her lips curled into a sincere smile as she waited for him to answer her. Her head, tilted ever so slightly to the right made her look… sweet. The combination of it all made Zuko pause. Here he was, throwing expensive pieces of technology in a tiny coffee shop in front of such a beautiful woman.
Not his best moment, to say the least, and he felt his cheeks redden.
It got worse when she raised an eyebrow at him, and then he realized that he’d been staring at her.
“Oh,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “Um, yeah. I’m fine. Rough week is all. I’m good now, though. Although I do need a new laptop, so… That’s unfortunate.”
“Yeah,” she laughed quietly with him. “Alright, well, if you’re okay, then I’ll leave you be.”
The woman in blue started to walk away, but then she turned around to say one final thing. “Actually, and this is definitely—you don’t have to take this or anything. But…” She pulled out a business card. “I know it’s not my place, and—and like I said feel free to ignore me. But you ever want to talk to someone…”
She said nothing else, just placed the card in Zuko’s hand when he met hers, and walked away. For real, this time.
He had the urge to tear up the card and toss it to the wind. He didn’t need help, he was fine!
Then again, talking to someone did seem nice… and perhaps the woman in blue worked there…
And there he was, sitting in Dr. Lee’s office, waiting for his appointment. But he couldn’t stop bouncing his leg.
It was only when she entered the room and he nearly gasped that his leg stopped bouncing.
The woman in blue.
Her smile lit up the room when she saw him. “Hey!”
“Uh, hey,” he replied sheepishly. “Do you work here or something?”
She didn’t stop smiling as she replied, “Nah, Dr. Lee is my therapist.”
“Wait. Really?” he asked.
“Yeah.” She leaned toward his ear and mumbled, “You’re not the only one who has freaked out in the Jasmine Dragon.”
For some reason when she straightened, he couldn’t stop grinning at her. Goodness, she lit up a room, even a small, dingy waiting room for therapy.
Zuko snapped back to reality when it was his appointment time and his name was called out. He stood up and faced her, still grinning like a fool, he assumed. “Well, better get going.”
“Yeah. I guess I’ll see you around… Zuko. Is that your name?”
“Yes, Zuko,” he confirmed. “I’ll see you around…” Zuko paused, hoping the woman in blue would become a name.
“Katara,” she finished for him.
“Katara,” Zuko repeated. “I’ll see you around, Katara.”
And in the back of his mind, he hoped and prayed that the statement would come true.
……
Next year…
“We’re planning on doing a fun and free date by going to Oasis Hall for the Swing Dance lessons tomorrow,” Zuko told her.
“Is that so?” Toph asked as they walked to the Jasmine Dragon.
“Yeah, it’s been really nice to try different things that campus has to offer.”
“Sounds to me like you just don’t want to pay for shit.”
“That too, but don’t tell Katara that.”
Toph laughed as she looped her arm around Zuko. “Still baffles me that you literally picked her up in the waiting room at therapy.”
“Technically, it was after I had a temper tantrum in the coffee shop.”
“Even worse, my friend,” she jabbed, turning her head so that Zuko could see her smirk.
Zuko chuckled. “Laugh all you want, because I’ve got a dance partner for Swing Dance and you don’t.”
“Wait, what?”
“Katara wants you to come to Swing Dance with us.”
The shock on Toph’s face was absolutely worth it when they entered the Jasmine Dragon and she stuttered out, “Fuck no!”
Zuko couldn’t help but smile at her outburst. Perhaps she’d get lucky and find a dance partner before tomorrow...

Beer Pong of Love
Chapters 2/3
Sukka for Day 2: College AU for @atla-trifecta-modern-au-week
Sokka has been pining over Suki for two years. With a little encouragement from Zuko, he finally shoots his shot.
“Dude, you’re staring.”
“Hm?” Sokka blinked and looked over at Zuko, who was looking at him with a mix of pity and annoyance. “I wasn’t staring.”
“You definitely were. I’m pretty sure your jaw was on the floor. In fact, I think you’ve got a little drool—” Zuko reaches out as if to wipe the corner of Sokka’s mouth, but Sokka bats his hand away.
“Fuck off,” he grumbles half-heartedly. He can deny it all he wants; Sokka was definitely staring.

Dance With Me, Partner
Happy Day 2 of @atla-trifecta-modern-au-week ! Here we've got the prompt college, and this features Taang :) Thanks for reading!
The story is also continued on AO3 :D
......
The first thing he noticed about her was her hair.
Long, beautiful raven locks either tumbled down her shoulders or was hastily thrown in an updo, and Aang always found himself marveling at its stunning length.
And then he heard her voice, throwing him back to reality as he sat at the table next to the register of the Jasmine Dragon.
“I am not joining that stupid club!” she practically roared. Her friend, who stood in line next to her hissed, “Keep your voice down, Toph! And yes, you are joining the dance club. With me. After this.”
“Just because you're being a nice boyfriend, does not mean I have to subject myself to torture by joining a dance class.” She tapped her cane impatiently, and the scowl on her face deepened.
So, Toph was her name?
Aang liked it.
Parts of their conversation became too muffled for Aang to overhear, but after they ordered their drinks and waited by the counter, he couldn’t help but hear the rest.
“So what am I supposed to do? Just stand in the corner while you go dance with Sugar Queen?”
“I’ll dance with you too,” the friend offered.
Toph shook her head. “No way. I’m not gonna the mopey girl in the corner that has to wait for their friend to leave his girlfriend so that she can dance.”
Toph’s friend shrugged as he grabbed their drinks. “Maybe someone else won’t come with a partner.”
And before he knew what he was doing, before he could even stop himself, Aang stood up (rather clumsily, he must admit), and spoke to the two individuals. “I’ll be your partner!”
The man and Toph blinked at him, and he felt his face turn red. Toph raised an eyebrow at him, then turned her attention to her friend. “Zuko, who the fuck is this?”
Aang flinched at the crass language, but the man—Zuko—shrugged. “No idea.”
His wits finally came back. “Oh, sorry. I’m Aang, and I couldn’t help but overhear your dilemma?”
“You wanna go to the Swing Dance class. With me,” Toph asked, her eyes narrowing as she spoke to Aang.
“Um, sure! I love to dance, I’m even getting a minor in it.”
The woman raised an eyebrow. “A minor in dance?”
“Yeah, I had some free time to fill.”
“And what’s in it for you?”
Aang shrugged his shoulders, but smiled. “A fun night dancing? Getting to know people? All are positive things in my book.”
“And you think you can do a partner dance with a blind chick? Won’t make me seem like an idiot with two left feet and two terrible eyes?”
“I promise I’ll be the very best partner,” he replied. “If not, I’m here everyday after class, I’ll buy your favorite brew of Uncle’s.”
The two friends gave skeptical looks to Aang, but after a moment, both seemed to push away any hesitations toward the situation.
Toph waved her hand in the air, then said, “Ah, what the hell. If you ditch me, I know your voice and I’ll beat your ass.”
“She will,” Zuko added.
“I won’t ditch,” Aang promised. “Is the class tomorrow night?”
“Tomorrow at 7, in Oasis Hall,” Zuko replied.
“Don’t be late, Wang,” Toph added.
“It’s actually Aang—”
But his comment went unheard, for the two friends left the Jasmine Dragon.
Still, nothing could bring down Aang’s spirits, he couldn’t wait until tomorrow came.
…….
Six months later...
“C’mon, Twinkletoes, we’re gonna be late!”
Aang chuckled as he ran after Toph. “We’re not gonna be late, and even if we are, what are they gonna do? Kick us out of the club?”
“Definitely not,” she replied with a grin. “But I am sick and tired of hearing Hahn bitching at us every time we walk in a minute late. I only have so many clap backs stowed away in my back pocket.”
“You know what would be faster?” Aang asked.
“What?”
“If we skipped to class!”
“Oh wow, great idea! Let me just tap my cane on the ground as we skip in the air! Sounds delightful!”
“Or perhaps we triple step into class? Then it’s like we’re not missing a beat!”
“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” she retorted. But before she could walk briskly to Oasis Hall, Aang grabbed her hand and pulled her into his chest, pressing a light and warm kiss to her lips.
Toph smiled when they parted. “What was that for?”
“Just thanks,” he grinned. “Thanks for taking a chance on me, for finally learning by name but then properly ignoring it."
"Twinkletoes suits you better!"
"I'm not denying it," Aang defended. "And perhaps most importantly, for being my dance partner. And, you know, your actual partner.”
She chuckled as she held onto him tightly. “Well, thanks for dancing with me, partner.”
And then they kissed again, forgetting about their responsibilities, or the fact that they were in the middle of a sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to walk on either side of them. They kissed and relished the quiet moment before reality came back to them and they’d have to dash off to swing class.
Luckily, Toph and Aang were never known for their punctuality.
When they parted, Aang smiled against her lips and asked, “So, you wanna dance into class and disrupt the whole lesson?”
“I thought you’d never ask.”

Home for the Holidays ❄️
@atla-trifecta-modern-au-week
~
Suki felt her eyes heavy with sleep as she pulled the pillow closer. Sokka’s family stayed up so damn late. They had to drive back to university in the morning! (Wow, was it really their last semester of college already?)
Speaking of her boyfriend, he bounded into the room and practically jumped on top of her. How did he still have so much energy when it was past one in the morning? He snuggled up behind her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her snug against him.
His fingers trailed from her stomach to her thigh. “Are you asleep already, Suks?”
“Just about.” She murmured into the pillow. “Tired.”
Sokka only hummed, peering out the window into the snow. They had been busy today, with opening gifts and cooking food and playing games. But now the house was incredibly quiet, not even Hakoda’s loud snoring could be heard.
He glanced down at his lovely girlfriend, admiring her profile. Her skin was pale and unblemished, and her russest hair was getting long, flowing down her shoulders. He’s gonna marry this girl. He already knows it. Maybe he should talk to Dad and Katara about rings and proposal ideas…
But that could all wait. Right now, Suki was here in his arms. His heart swelled with a warm love, just for her.
He leaned down and kissed her exposed throat, too tempted by her kissable neck. He nosed her shirt over to reach more of her delicious skin.
Suki giggled sleepily, “Don’t think that’s a good idea, babe.”
“And why not?” He playfully teased, smiling against her shoulder and slipping his fingers underneath her large shirt, rubbing his thumb along her hip bone.
“The house is dead quiet. And we are too loud.”
Sokka sighed, “That’s a good point. It’s just that we’ve been here all week. I miss you.”
“Tomorrow.” She patted his thigh. “Besides, I’m too tired. Let’s just snuggle.” Suki pulled his arms more securely around her and interlocked their fingers.
“Won’t ever turn that down.” He smiled and tucked his nose into her hair, closing his eyes as well. Whatever comes next, he knows Suki will always be by his side.
Best Christmas yet.

Play it Cool
Day One: Coffee Shop
Submission to the atla-trifecta-modern-au-week.
The words on the screen are starting to blur together causing Aang to rub his eyes with his fingers, trying to dig the tiredness out. Sliding his hands down his face, he moves to grip the back of his neck while he stares at the screen. His brain just won't seem to cooperate and try and figure out how to connect two points of his essay.
Only does he notice movement near him does he look up from the computer. It's a girl with dark skinny jeans and a graphic tee walking towards him with a white cane. She seems to know the layout of this shop pretty well because she easily moves around the tables, much easier than he's ever moved through this place. She comes to his table and pulls out the chair opposite of him and sits down.
Aang shoots a quick glance around the shop to see if anyone has noticed or maybe is waiting for her to sit down with them before looking back at her. She is folding her cane down into fourths and sets it on the table in front of her. Her milky green eyes seem to stare at him as if waiting for him to say something.
"Uhhh. I think you're at the wrong-"
"Shh, just play along okay," the girl quickly whispers.
"Okayyy. Well, um, can I ask what your name is and what role I'm suppose to be playing?"
"I'm Toph and you're my boyfriend, okay? What's your name?"
"It's Aang. Why am I your boyfriend?" he asks, his eyebrows raised.
"Because, I said so. Now, tell me what you're doing," she waves her hand in his general direction.
"Oh, okay. Well, I'm writing a paper for my World History class. It's suppose to be over the Industrial Revolution and how it is still relevant today," he hears her mutter that she remembers that class and the paper she had to write for it but she continues to nod, letting him rant on, "and it has to be 20 pages and its due tonight and I'm only a page and a half in-"
"Hey, Toph." Aang looks up at the guy he didn't realize had come up to the table. He has dark hair that is styled in that 'just-rolled-out-of-bed' way and is wearing black on black.
"Oh, hi Jian. Ruining anyone's lives recently?" Toph asks, tilting her face slightly in acknowledgement of his arrival. Her lips are pursed and her eyebrow is coked as if she is actually interested in his answer. Aang looks up at the guy and sees he's smiling at Toph like she's a child.
"Oh, don't be like that, Toph. I thought that we had moved beyond this," the guy- Jian- has taken on a slightly chastising tone. Aang looks back down at Toph to see how she's reaction to this. The murderous glint that shines in her eyes makes him jump into action.
"Hi, I don't think we've met," he sticks his hand out to Jian, "I'm Aang."
The guy glances over at Aang like it's the first time he's noticed that there's someone else at the table with Toph. He furrows his eyebrows and switches his coffee cup to his opposite hand so that he can shake Aang's.
"Oh, how do you two know each other?" he asks Aang.
"He's my boyfriend," Toph deadpans.
Jian looks shocked for a moment as if he couldn't believe she would have the nerve, "You're dating other people?"
Toph rolls her eyes, "Yeah. That's usually what happens after the guy cheats on his girlfriend and they break up." Both Aang and Jian flinch at how harsh her words come out. Her arms are crossed over her chest and her eyebrow is coked at Jian as if daring him to say something else.
"Right," he rubs his hand on the back of his neck, his eyes searching Toph's face looking for some kind of give that he can use to his advantage.
Aang decides to take this time and save both Toph and Jian from this conversation, "Hey, man. I don't want to be rude, but I have a twenty page paper that is due tonight that I still haven't started on..." he trails off, hoping that he picks up the very obvious hint.
"Right, right!" Jian says, snapping out of his trance. He glances at Toph once more before offering his hand to Aang once more and then wandering off back through the shop.
Toph lets out a deep breath and slides down in her chair slightly, "Fuck, that was emotionally draining. I could use a drink," she mutters and takes a small sip of her tea. Aang stares at her for a second, thinking the girl was going to get up and leave him to his paper. But instead, she just continues to stare in his direction, as if waiting for him to say something.
"Okay. So, that happened," he starts awkwardly. "How'd you even know I was sitting here?"
She rubs her face with both hands, "Yeah. Suppose I should give you an explanation, but I really don't feel like it. And once I realized he was here, I asked the barista if there were any young men sitting alone, and she told me about your table. Thanks for playing along though, I definitely owe you one."
A thought occurs to him then, "Oh, you owe me one?" a smirk plays on his lips. Toph's eyes narrow at his mischievous tone. "If my memory serves me correctly, I do recall you saying that you took this class and wrote the paper for it. You should 100% let me see it so I can... compare our work."
Toph lets out a bark of a laugh that instantly makes him smile, "I like your thought process on that. Sadly for you, that paper is on a laptop that suffered a tragic dip in a bathtub." Aang immediately feels his shoulders deflate and his will to finish the paper diminish even more so. "But!" she says loudly, "I think I may be able to recall some of the finer points and help you finish the paper. You want to come over to my place to figure it out?"

The Place To Be
Hi everyone, and happy Day 1 of @atla-trifecta-modern-au-week :D
Gonna try something different and I wrote this an hour ago, so hopefully it's not terrible 0-0. Still, I hope you enjoy, and thank you for reading! This story can also be found on AO3, just as an FYI LOL.
......
Of all the places for friends to gather, none held a flame next to the infamous coffee shop in Ba Sing Se University. Its small footprint but mighty atmosphere gave visitors the feeling that they were at home, even if home was miles and miles away.
Perhaps it was the warm and inviting decor that invited everyone in. The way the place felt like somebody's uncle’s home. Or maybe it was the fabulous aroma, the roasting of beans and the brewing of fresh tea that kept visitors lingering by the register for just a minute longer, hoping to capture all the delightful scents. Or quite possibly, it was the lovely owners that served their passion brews and blends with a smile that kept patrons coming and staying at the shop.
But at a certain point, why people visited the Jasmine Dragon didn’t matter. Soon it was just… the place to be.
It was the place to be after classes, the place to study until it closed at midnight and reopened at dawn. The place where friends gathered and caught up, it was the place where couples sat and sipped on their morning brew.
And for six of the coffee shop’s regulars, the institution was a sort of sanctuary for the group. A place where they felt loved and were loved by the owners of the shop, as well as each other.
But these six individuals weren’t just strangers in a shop. No, they were three distinct couples that found love in the most ordinary of places, and even the most hopeless of places. Each had their own love story, trials and tribulations along the way, and a moment in a story that somehow connected the whole group with one another and made them practically inseparable.
Because they were Toph and Aang, the dynamic duo, never one without the other, so cheeky and mischievous it was hard to discern which of the two wreaked more havoc. They were Zuko and Katara, the ones who have seen it all and were selfless through it all, but somewhere along the way, found time to take care of each other and more importantly, trust one another. They were Sokka and Suki, the sweethearts that went through thick and thin to stay together, and even when they were apart, they always managed to come back to each other.
And while all of this begins and ends in a quaint coffee shop at a university, this story in particular, is the story of how those couples came to be.

Relationship: Sokka/Suki
Rating: Teen and Up
Words: 1645
Summary:
“Hi,” she replied, her voice kind, but somewhat strained. “Sorry to bother you, but all the other booths are taken by more than one person, and you’re sitting here all alone.”
Confused, Sokka looked around the cafe, noting that in the time that he had taken to write his paper, people had trickled in one by one, taking up each table so that the cafe was now almost packed.
He glanced back up at the girl, blinking slowly. “So….,” he started, furrowing his brow at her. “Do you… do you want to sit with me?”
OR: Sokka goes to Kuruk’s Cafe to “work”, knowing a certain girl he had his eyes on may be there.
Notes:
Title comes from Halsey’s “Finally // Beautiful stranger”

it begins with a cup of chai
Day 1 of @atla-trifecta-modern-au-week, Coffee Shop for Zutara
It’s storming outside, and it brings Katara right to the Jasmine Dragon seeking shelter, where Zuko tries to flirt with the pretty girl dripping water all over the floor.
“Mm,” she hums as she takes her first sip. Her blue gaze is on him again. “That’s really good, thank you.”
He gives her a genuine smile. “You’re welcome. Can I get you anything else? Muffin, scone, rice cake?”
“No, I’m okay. I just came from lunch with my brother, so I’m not hungry.” She sets the chai down carefully. “I’m Katara, by the way.”
“Zuko.”
She wraps her hands around the cup and smiles softly at him. “It’s nice to meet you.”
He smiles back. “Yeah, you too.”

Coffee Tea Shop - Taang
@atla-trifecta-modern-au-week
~
Toph bit her lip as she hesitated outside of Iroh’s tea shop. He’s just a boy.
She didn’t even know if he was a cute boy! All she knew was that she loved his laugh.
Shy was not a word to describe Toph Beifong, so she lifted her chin and entered the shop. She greeted Iroh regularly, and got her favorite bubble tea.
She’d barely grabbed her drink when, “Hey, Toph!”
His voice did not make her heart jump into her throat. No way.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you. It’s Aang, by the way.” He chuckled, and she could hear a nervous quiver in his voice. “I’m sitting over here, if you...want to join?”
She felt the corner of her mouth tilt up. “You didn’t scare me, I knew it was you. Lead the way, Twinkletoes.”
They’d met at this tea shop yesterday, when Toph had spilled her tea all over him when she turned around from the counter. He had definitely snuck up on her, cause she hadn’t heard him at all. He was lucky she didn’t also swat him with her walking stick. Who sneaks up on a blind girl?
“Ah geez, is that nickname really going to stick? I told you I didn’t mean to sneak up on you!” Aang complained as he gently guided her to the table. Toph pretended the slight touch of his fingers on her elbow wasn’t shooting sparks up her arm.
“It’s definitely sticking. Or I can come up with something worse.”
Aang laughed, and it made her heart soar. (Ugh, how pathetic!)
Talking with Aang was as easy as breathing. Being around him was…like walking in sunshine. His earnesty and passion was like a deep breath of fresh air.
Was it possible to fall in love within a day?
“So...it’s been really nice hanging out with you, Toph.”
She didn’t try to hide her smirk. “Has it?”
“Yeah, we should…y’know. Hang out more.”
Toph grinned and leaned forward on the table, resting her chin in her hand. She teased, “Are you asking me out, Twinkletoes?”
She felt his movements as he leaned onto the table as well, his breath hitting her face, he was so close. His voice was more confident this time. “Yeah. I am.”
She bit her lip, feeling her heart racing in her chest. Maybe this was moving too fast but…it felt so right.
“I’d love to, Aang.”

Can I do a fic that focuses on one of these ships but also includes a ship that rivals another (ie, a Taang fic with background Zuki)?
Thanks for the ask!
While us mods are multishippers ourselves, we ask that for this particular event everyone only focus on Zutara, Sukka, and Taang. We want to celebrate the 'trifecta' of ships as a whole!
Of course, it is your story, and you may write whatever you want. For other ships, we suggest submitting posts to @atla-multishipping-bingo for the modern au bingo board! You can get bingo with our prompts over there!
