When Toph's smiled and opened her arms to accept the embrace, Sokka almost forgot to think about his empty stomach. She was his best friend after all, and they had been apart for much too long. When he wrapped his arms around her small figure, he was a bit surprised that she had grown a few inches. Her eyes were level with his chin, and the tip of her head almost reached the end of his nose. She smelled good; like jasmine and earth after a rainstorm. He took a small breath, admiring the smell, but came to a stop thanks to a punch in the gut.
Sokka staggered back, clutching his stomach and glared at

Sokka was miserable. After three hours of traveling on Appa with no one for company but a pair of newlyweds and a chattery monkey, he was considering jumping off the flying bison and walking the rest of the way to the Fire Nation Capital. He had lost his argument with Katara about getting to the palace by his own terms. He swore her secret motherly powers were strengthening. He felt bad for Aang; having Katara for a sister was bad enough, but a wife? He was pretty sure he knew who would be the dominant partner in their relationship. Even now he could here Katara carefully explaining to Aang why his blue and orange ceremonial robes might b
Toph awoke to find herself shivering in bed in nothing but her sleeveless sleepwear. She groped for her blanket only to discover it was gone.
Next to her, Sokka was snoring away contentedly. Reaching out for him, her fingers touched the soft cocoon of fabric wrapped around her husband's sleeping form. With a tired groan, she grabbed the hem of the sheet and began to unravel the messy heap. She tugged, and Sokka occasionally grunted or mumbled something incoherently in his sleep while she worked. He rolled over facing the edge of the bed, back turned to the woman beside him.
Finally, she extricated the fabric from her slumbering companion. M
This chapter takes place during events of 'The Promise,' so if you have yet to read it, a lot of the context won't make complete sense. Since there is a certain plot-ish kind of point that I think is a big deal for the story I want to tell, I've copied some dialogue from the comic to make sure this device is made apparent, while also adding in extra narrative and dialogue around existing pieces from the comic. A lot of these earlier chapters are directly connected to scenes from the series, but most chapters for this series will not follow that format.

I’m blind
Stubborn
Strong
And always covered in dirt
One would ask why I bother with love
But when they do I just laugh and say him
He’s smart
Funny
Kind
And even though I cant ‘see’ him I know he’s handsome
He’s…sokka
I know loving him is useless he has her
She’s
Demanding
Dumb
And I despise her
One would ask why I love him especially
To that I just say I don’t know cause I don’t
So when im alone I to ask my self my I put me throw the heart ach it causes
The little voice in my head answers
Cause you know he loves you too

“Alright, everyone, that will conclude our meeting for today. If you would like, you can stay after and help put together the teams.” Katara announced perkily from her side of the table. I just rolled my eyes. Sometimes, I hated her. So. Much. These meetings were a total waste of time.
I started to get up from the bench, desperately wondering why I had let Katara talk me into being on the soccer board for their community. It was ridiculous. I was blind, hello, what good could I do? But Katara thought because I had such a unique view on life and seeing, that I might be able to teach the kids a thing or two. Besides, who was I to

"He was trying to help, Katara."
"It wasn't his business to do that."
"And it's your business to try hooking me up with Toph?"
"That's different!"
"How?"
"That's not...a personal issue. That's just dating."
"Just dating. Because that hasn't caused any of us drama this year."
Katara's hands ran up through her hair with a huff. She paused, trying to contain herself.
"Can we drop this?"
"Can you drop this?" Sokka countered. "That's the entire point. You won't let things go."
"And you're so good at that."
"Well, I try. Yea."
"Mm. Like how you kept going back and forth with Suki."
"Come on, Sis. Let's not do this."

["What?"] came Meng's shrill squeak of disappointment. ["You haven't wished your parents 'Happy Easter' yet?"]
Toph huffed, rolling over on the couch. Meng frowned at the view of her cousin's back. Just because Toph couldn't see didn't make it OK to just turn her back on people...That was rude.
"Why would I want to?" Toph sighed out.
["Tophie...You can't just, like...pretend like your parents don't exist. How are ya ever gonna patch things up if...-?"]
"Not interested."
["Mmm..."] Meng's eyes rolled around at her grumpy-pants cousin. ["OK. Soooo...What are you up to, then?"]
"Nothin'."
["Nothing? You're with Katara and Aang, right?"]

The orange sun rose again and the night's mist began to clear. Toph was beginning to regret coming on the trip. She didn't want to feel like that ever again. Whatever feelings she had she was determined to bury today, at least until she was back home and away from the man.
The morning proceeded as calmly as could be expected. The morning's fire was lit and food was prepared. For breakfast Sokka broke out some preserved bacon and powdered milk.
"I can't take all the credit for this one of course. It was Teo's dad who came up with the specifics. Now just add some non-swampy water and "
After breakfast, the time to
