As Good As Brothers

by AnnabethLuna

Sokka's never sure whether to be irritated, awed, or protective when he's around Aang. But one thing he does know is that he wouldn't trade a second of it. 61 drabbles from Sokka's perspective (one per episode), showing his relationship to Aang.

20. The Siege of the North, Part II

Sokka was reeling.

With grief for Yue, shock at the destruction of the moon, and awe at Aang and the power he'd wielded.

This kid – this twelve-year-old – had embodied an eons-old spirit, had destroyed an entire Fire Navy fleet. This kid had saved a guy who'd tried to capture and kill him in the past (though the jury was still out on whether that had been a good decision). This kid – was – Sokka's hero.

Aang and Katara embraced, and Sokka went to join them. He laid a hand on Aang's shoulder, honored to be privy to this hero's epic journey.
