Sokkla

Sokkla is the het ship between Sokka and Azula in the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom.

Canon
Sokka and Azula were mainly enemies for the duration of the series. Sokka was a Water Tribe warrior who was helping Aang win the war while Azula was the crowned princess of the Fire Nation. They first met during a hostage exchange in Omashu. At this point in time, most of their interaction was limited to fighting, as Azula was attempting capture Sokka's friend Aang. They also met again during a standoff in Tu Zin, during which Sokka attempted to attack Azula before she escaped after zapping Iroh with her lightning. Azula later captured Sokka's girlfriend Suki and learned his name from her.

Sokka and Azula first really interacted during the invasion of the Fire Nation. Sokka tried to get the group away from Azula because she was just stalling them until she revealed that she knew Sokka's name. Azula said that her "favorite prisoner" Suki always mentioned his name and taunted him for not saving her. Sokka was enraged and attacked Azula after this, demanding to learn the location of his imprisoned girlfriend. Azula escaped at the end of the eclipse and Sokka was forced to flee as well, though his feelings towards Azula became even more bitter.

Sokka and Azula would meet a few more times while Sokka was helping his father and Suki escape from the Boiling Rock and again while she was attacking the Western Air Temple. Sokka was able to stand his ground against Azula in the Boiling Rock as he had been trained in swordsmanship. After the war, they would not see each other again for a year or two until Sokka joined Zuko to help him find his mother. Most of the group was afraid when they saw Azula completely free and Sokka volunteered to keep watch over her. However, he approached her with his boomerang and she casually zapped him. When Azula fled and left behind her mother's letter for Zuko, Sokka believed that this was an accident and believed that Azula was not capable of caring for anybody else but herself.

Fanon
Sokkla is a fairly popular Avatar ship despite the fact that it is considered to be a crack or enemy ship. Many fans ship them together because of the "opposites attract" belief or because they are from the nations representing water and fire respectively. A lot fans see Sokkla as an alternative or parallel to Zutara because they are the siblings of Katara and Zuko and also opposite elements, although Sokka is not a waterbender. Sokkla is commonly shipped with Zutara and tends to rival the Sukka, Chanzula and Tyzula pairings.
