Rating: PG-13/T (May move to R/M in later chapters)
Pairings: Sokka/everybody, (eventual) Zuko/Katara
Description: Sokka is an undercover cop for the L.A.P.D., trying his best to infiltrate the notorious White Lotus Society yakuza. While his plans have always been to take the yakuza down, will he eventually take his artificial oaths of loyalty to heart?
Excerpt:
She appraised him under the streetlight. As he pulled another long drag from his cigarette, lips pursed, Zuko looked almost cool — like one of those gangsters in an old black-and-white movie. The shadows created by the streetlight momentarily hid his scar as he stood there staring off into the night. For a moment, Katara considered that he would have been devastatingly handsome had he not received the scar. But, in a way, it also suited him she thought. Shaking her head, she returned to her original train of thought.

( It was dark, darker than any place Katara had seen during their travels, and she carefully followed Toph as the young blind girl quietly bent away the earth. )

Note: I wrote an Iroh-centric drabble for theavatar100 challenge this week. The prompt was "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," a poem by T.S. Eliot. The verse I chose (in italics below the cut) deals with the concept of time's role in our lives.
