So excited to finally be sharing my @zukkabigbang2024 fic, betaed by the amazing @kartoonkrazy and with wonderful art from @lizardlicks (link incoming)!

Featuring culture sharing, culture confusion, gossip, a very sassy Kanna, a very over-it-already Katara, meeting the parents when you and the parent are both world leaders and also you have issues with parents, and Sokka's daddy issues.

[“Right,” Hakoda manages. “An honor.”

“Once we will endeavor to meet with equal honor in return,” the Fire Lord says so quickly he starts almost before Hakoda gets out the last syllable.

“Sure.” Hakoda has to forcibly unclench his teeth to grind out, “We’re happy to welcome the delegation.” As if they had any choice in it.

Fuck, but it would have been a lot easier to say no if the Fire Lord weren’t dating his son.]

Or,

Zuko is nervous about making a good impression on his first visit South as Fire Lord, which certainly has nothing to do with meeting Sokka’s father.

Sokka is excited to see his boyfriend after months apart, and is absolutely totally fine with not being involved in the week’s political negotiations. Totally.

Hakoda already has a headache just thinking about how exactly he’s supposed to interact with a fellow world leader who is also a teenager, and also dating his son, and wait--Sokka’s old enough for dating now? When did that happen?

To all the people who on my other longfics kept going 'wow, I cannot wait for the conversation with Hakoda about this one!' to which I kept going '…about that.' -- this one's for you :)

Someone: Hey, what’s up?

Me: Did you know that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood follows the structure of the monomyth complete with the three parts of departure, initiation, and return? Did you know that Edward Elric and Ling Yao’s time in Gluttony’s stomach can be seen as the hero’s archetypal journey to the Underworld? Did you know that Leto was also the name of Apollo and Artemis’ human mother? Did you know that supernatural aid comes to the Elric brothers only after they have tried to resurrect their mother, thereby subverting the “magical helper/guide” trope because Edward’s arguably supernatural ability to create alchemy without a transmutation circle was due to this childhood error? Did you know that Edward and Alphonse must not only confront and/or make atonement with their actual father, but with a villain who is literally called “Father”? Did you know the name Roy means king, and that Roy Mustang must usurp the throne of someone who is actually named “King”? Did you know Edward becomes master of two worlds by reconciling himself with the realm of Truth and the realm of reality, and becomes competent in both spiritual and material matters? Did you know Edward often sees/describes himself as the mythological character Icarus, who fell from the sky after flying too close to the sun? Did you know Edward’s figurative apotheosis actually occurs when he recognizes that he can never become a god? Did you know

Me: Did you know that Amestris was the queen of the Persian King Xerxes I? Did you know that Edward Elric’s signature outfit of black clothes, white gloves, and red coat correspond to the symbolic colors of the alchemic transformation of lead into gold (the color of his hair)? Did you know that there was a real man in the real world named Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, an alchemist better known as Paracelsus, who claimed to have created the Philosopher’s Stone? Did you know that the text around the human transmutation circle comes from a real-world alchemic text? Did you know
