Fics like absence of heat, excess of destiny

Sokka is born in the dead of winter with a red dragon curling down the left side of his back. Zuko is born in the sweltering heat of summer with a sword down his spine. — He doesn’t want to talk about it when their gazes turn on him. They make assumptions— is it someone he left behind in the Fire Nation? He looks away when he agrees with them. Toph brushes past him when they all part ways. She says, “I know you’re lying.”
