dracomaleficium gets gay hunting trips for her birthday

[lepharus]

So. Long overdue fic for dracomaleficium's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I HAD NO CLUE WHAT TO WRITE FOR YOU! So here is an unnecessarily long, probably boring, awkward Zukka story. I'm not sure why but I wanted to try writing them. I used to be neutral on them together, but after doing lots of... um... research for this fic I'm kind of a Zuko/Sokka shipper.

Give me a moment while I love on this.

It's perfect. Absolutely perfect. I couldn't ask for a better b-day gift! I feel so honored that your first take on this pairing was for me and that you came to like it! :D The fic reflects it, the boys are just what they are supposed to be and the entire thing is utterly adorable. The bromance is wonderful, the dialogues perfect, the characterisation amazing and spot-on and the whole story is just lovely. Sokka trying his hardest to be a MANLY MAN and ooze MACHISMO was simply golden. And Zuko... oh, Zuko. <3 That is all.

Plus, THE ENDING. Very hot. You painted a very alluring image with the dawn, I could really feel the atmosphere and felt transported right into the forest. And you made Sokka the one with the initiative, which I really, really enjoyed. I don't know why, but Zuko in a more submissive position in slash is sort of my guilty pleasure and kink. So this is all kinds of awesome to me.

I do realize this comment is rather incoherent. I don't care, I'm not feeling coherent right now. I just feel like squeeing. So this is what I'll do right now, if you don't mind.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Oh pff, I think you're a little biased there girl. XD But thank you. I've never really written Sokka before for more than a few lines, it was fun and challenging to write a whole fic centering around him, haha. And I do totally see Sokka as the initiator, at least most of the time, and I also like Zuko as the slightly more submissive one... as long as he's not too uke-y or anything.

Anyway, I'm really glad you like it! I'm just sorry it's so late hahah I have such a hard time getting things done on time.
And thank you for the shout out in your entry, that was really sweet :D

Of course I'm biased and I regret nothing :D

And yeah, no ukefied Zuko please. People tend to mold him into those stifling yaoi stereotypes to ridiculous proportions. Sokka would be the one initiating, and so would Jet, and even Aang. Zuko has to feel safe and trusty before he can go anywhere with a person, methinks, and that takes time. I think that's why I like Zuko paired with people much older than him - it's hard to find him being all top and seme there ;) (Except for that one pretty good Zhao/Zuko fic in which Zuko topped and I still can't get this out of my head - yeah, you're welcome for the mental image...)

You're very welcome! Now I owe you a fic, I guess ^^

I like him topping and I like him on the bottom too, I guess I'm not really that picky, as long as it's done well and he stays mostly in character. Okay... maybe I like bottom Zuko slightly more. I just think it's more in his nature to kind of let other people take the lead in those sort of things, and he's more laid back about it. Or something.
And Zuko would be someone to hook up with an older dude, hahah, so I can't blame you there.

And it was a bday present, you don't owe me anything :D But hey, I would not be complaining.
