He became Zuko’s shadow, two steps behind. Sokka memorized him, painted the picture in his mind, ink on vellum. Resting on his broad shoulders, a curl of black hair caught at the base of Zuko’s helmet, and Sokka couldn’t help the smile that crept onto his face.

Beneath the helmet, beneath the armor, he knew him. (x)

Mai: eat something

Zuko: there’s no time!

^^^ dialogue that didn’t happen in my fic but might as well have

Chapter 15 of Some Say Love is a Burning Thing is up ❣️

———

[Image Description: The six-panel meme format where two scruffy men are arguing. The first man is labeled “Mai” and the second is labeled “Zuko”. Mai points and says, “When’s the last time you ate?” Zuko looks aggravated and yells, “I’ve been busy!” Mai screams “There’s a food hall on the main floor!” Zuko throws a chair while yelling “I know!” Mai stands up and points, shouting “Then go eat something!” Zuko storms out of them room. End Image Description.]

#lots of awkward and angsting Zuko in this chapter boys #zukka #zukka fic #ATLA fic #maiko #some say love is a burning thing #ssliabt #yes this chapter took me ages and I couldn’t have done it if not for mari <3 #literallt wrote 2000 words then trashed them and rewrote the whole thing #feel great about it now though!!!!

yeah Zuko memorized a romantic play in it’s entirety what about it.

Here’s chapter 16 of Some Say Love Is a Burning Thing! 💖

———

[Image Description: a meme with four panels. In the first panel are two people. One guys is wearing a yellow shirt and jeans, and the other is just a peach-colored cartoon with no clothes, wearing a yellow mask. Both of the people are labeled “Zuko”. The guy with the yellow shirt asks the guy with the mask, “Hey, dude, why do you always wear that mask? In the second panel, there is a closeup of the mask, which reads “angry person.” The yellow shirt guy has grabbed the mask. In the third panel, he lifts the mask to read “an incurable romantic” underneath. In the fourth panel, he returns the mask, agreeing that being seen as an angry person is preferable to being seen as an incurable romantic. End Image Description.]

I would give anything for someone to make a podfic of my fic. I just put it into a text reading software out of curiosity and it made me so productive for some reason?? anyways I would cry.

I tried to read it out loud myself to see if I could podfic it but I would be a shitty narrator bc of my accent and how often I accidentally start talking way faster randomly. ANYWAYS hit me up if there’s anyone out there who wants to podfic something

#I would simply sob #the downside (?) is that my fic is long as hell #zukka #zukka fic #podfic #ssliabt

[paintedlight]

———

[Image description: There are two panels, both containing an animated orange flower with a cute little face. In the first panel, the flower is covered in thorns and screaming furiously, labeled “Zuko when Sokka asks him if he’s alright.” In the second panel, the flower looks bashful and sweet, and is labeled “Zuko when Sokka asks him if he wants some jasmine tea.” End Image Description.]

lmaoooo Part One (Chapters 1-10 out of 30) of Some Say Love is a Burning Thing is complete!!

enjoy these memes while I draft Chapter 11 🥰

—————

[ID 1: In the first panel, an Uno card says “Let those who love you help shoulder your burdens or draw 25”. In panel two, Sokka, stubborn guy that he is, has unfortunately drawn 25 cards.

ID 2: (this meme format is so weird to explain. Apologies!) In panel one, Sokka reaches for a weird yellow blob that says “the fact that may is super cool and her knives are awesome and her knife storage system is eloquent and efficient”. In panel two, a pink blob pulls him back from the yellow blob, and the pink blob says “the fact that Mai is scary and would probably take him out without a moment of hesitation”, which is making Sokka sweat with nerves.

ID 3: In panel one, Suki holds out two cards. The first says “Saving Zuko” and the second says “Betraying Zuko”. Suki says that corporate needs you to find the difference between the two. In panel 2, Sokka insists that “they’re the same picture.”

ID 4: This is the meme of the man pointing at a butterfly and asking if it’s a pigeon. In this case, it’s Sokka asking if “teaching Zuko to kiss passionately” is the same thing as “helping a bro who’s nervous for his arranged marriage.” Truly an idiot, for all his smarts.

ID 5: This is the meme where there’s a super ripped dog on the left and a little crying dog on the right. Ripped Dog is Sokka in Chapter 1 of Some Say Love is a Burning Thing, where he’s like “Zuko? Pshhh. All I want is MY DAD and a BAG OF GOLD.” The Crying Dog is Sokka in Chapter 10, in which hopeless romantic Simp Sokka wrote the haiku: “my prince of the hearth / I’d follow you anywhere / blessed by my full moon”]
