Sokka/Yue is a het pairing in the series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Canon

In Book 1, Sokka met Yue when the Gaang reaches the Northern Water Tribe. Sokka is smitten and tries to ask Yue at; she returns his feelings but is already engaged to Hahn, a warrior in the Northern Water Tribe. During the Fire Nation's seige of the Northern Water Tribe, Yue sacrifices herself to resurrect/become the Moon Spirit.

Sokka talks about their relationship in later seasons of the show, including this fandom-famous quote:

Sokka: My first girlfriend turned into the moon.

Zuko: [pauses] That's rough, buddy.

Fandom

The ship is moderately popular within the fandom. Some tropes:

• Yue Lives AUs
• May-December type romances with Sokka as a mortal married to Yue as an immortal spirit
• Sokka also becomes a spirit, or joining Yue in the Spirit Realm after he dies
