This is, in my opinion, the way slash should be written. It's essentially a friendship fic that was taken to the next level, and so well-characterized that it could be canon if you wanted to read Sokka and Zuko's relationship that way. Zuko's vulnerability was extremely well-written, as was Sokka's confidence. I'm already a sucker for the epic bromance of these two, so shipping them just seemed natural.
