And here is one I failed even more at--six sentences, instead of three:

“Here,” Zuko suddenly says, shoving the assignment brief he’s been reading all night in front of Sokka’s face, like Sokka ever wants to look at the thing again. He doesn’t particularly want to dwell on the source of the crumbling ashes of his once-bright future at the moment—his final project that is due tomorrow and was going great up until it suddenly wasn’t.

“A loophole,” Zuko says, triumph on his face, and Sokka thinks he’s suddenly getting a glimpse of just the kind of annoying, pedantic, stubbornly persistent lawyer Zuko is going to be when he graduates, the kind that bases entire arguments around Oxford commas. “They said the student whose marble takes the longest to reach the bottom of their roller coaster without ever stopping wins.” His smile is just a little bit feral. “They never define what a roller coaster is.”

For the three sentence fic ask game!

For the 3 sentence fic prompts: pairing -> Zukka; AU setting -> law school!Zuko and engineering master's program!Sokka, attending the same university

Three sentences are hard! I do enjoy the challenge (even when I fail)

Mai purses her lips and eyes Sokka—slumped face-first on his notebook, drool slowly but dangerous creeping toward the inked lines of his problem set, every pen, pencil, and piece of paper he apparently owns scattered around him—and then Zuko, who somehow fell asleep half in Sokka’s lap, cradling his civil procedure textbook like the stuffed dragon he refuses to admit he owns anymore, as if hiding it in his closet when Sokka comes over means it isn’t still there.

“Should we wake them up before they get locked in the library overnight again?” Mai finally sighs, digging out her phone to capture the moment for posterity.

“No,” Azula says, already lining up the shot, her laptop—all you need for an MBA, as it turns out—neatly stowed. “We definitely should not.”

🛏️ ~ After an event, an OC gets reoccurring nightmares and memories to the point they turn back to the cause of the nightmares.

🌑 ~ During an Eclipse, an OC starts to act oddly, before gaining odd powers leading back to their Orgins.

[same OCs from 🛏️ & 🌑] 🛏️ Is worried out of their mind about their family visiting, but 🌑 ensures it won’t happen.

💞~ An OC is anxious about telling their partner about a secret that they fear may ruin their relationship.
