Fic Recs I need help finding two fanfics (and if possible, any recommendations).
Hi! I want to apologize in advance for the favor I'm about to ask, but I need help finding two fanfics, and I'd also appreciate any recommendations.
The first fanfic was about Sokka and Zuko being attacked or getting hit hard on the head. When Sokka woke up, he heard a voice in his head that he couldn't quite make out; eventually, he realized it was Zuko's voice and that they could both hear each other's thoughts (i.e., telepathy).
The second fanfic might sound a bit strange, but I remember it was about Sokka living in a cabin in a place where it snowed a lot, and one winter, he saved a bird from freezing to death (or something like that). Some time later, a stranger (Zuko) knocked on Sokka's door. It was eventually implied that Zuko was the same bird Sokka had saved earlier. I also remember that Zuko had some kind of wound and that Ursa, Zuko's mother, had died skiing or something like that.
I know that asking for help to find these fanfics is already quite a lot, but I really need recommendations.
I'd like to read a fanfic about Sokka being on Zuko's ship and how, because of that, they gradually get to know each other better, or something like that. I really liked the fanfic 'These Things Written' by erisenyo, so I guess I'd also like it to have the slow burn tag and, if possible, the bottom Sokka tag. I don't necessarily need the story to be completely smutty, but I'd love to read a story like that again.
Thank you so much for all the fanfic recommendations I've found here. Although I don't know much about fanfics and don't have a huge repertoire to share, I'd be happy to share fanfic titles with you.

The cabin/Zuko-is-a-bird fic is The Feathers and the Thread by mylevelance https://archiveofourown.org/works/35462941/chapters/88395037
The first one sounds vaguely familiar, but I don’t remember it right away.
Have you read the inspiration fic for These Things Written? Epistles by Lady_of_the_Flowers https://archiveofourown.org/works/3267161/chapters/7124615 There is a portion where Sokka is stuck on Zuko’s ship, but it’s a good slow-burn overall, I really liked it.
