Title: Late
Challenge: Countdown (theavatar100)
Notes: Agh, I'm so rusty! Over 17 weeks of not doing Avatar fic, nearing two months of not posting any fic, but trying to plan out massive Fruits Basket!AU fic and Naruto!AU fic and IchiHime!30_kisses-type fic...without actually doing more than plan it out. Why? I really don't know. >.< I blame college.

But yeah. This thing? Post 3x11, and especially spoilery for That One Thing Azula Said.

Sokka does not keep the time device the mechanist made for him (what good is knowing how late you are?).

It did him little good during the (botched excuse of an) invasion, when almost (ha! that's a stretch) everything that could have gone (horribly, horribly) wrong did (Dad...). When so many things (nightmares) he never expected to happen (to come true) did (Suki...).

No, Sokka does not keep the time device (he broke it, afterwards). He can do a perfectly good job of telling himself how late he was this time (I failed you this time. Never again).
