Notes: Written for the LJ community atlaland's Quick and Dirty Valentine's Exchange. Participants were assigned to a person's basket, and asked to provide a fanfic and a graphic based on the pairings listed in the basket. The person I was assigned listed Aang/Toph as their first favorite pairing, so I decided to write a drabble-ette about them (it was supposed to be a drabble, but it went over a little). It's the first time I've ever written an Aang/Toph, and I'm not sure it's very good. But it's all right, at least.
Summary: They were different, but they were exactly what the other needed.
Counterbalance
There was no doubt they were different.
She was Earth; tough and proud, like a rock unmoving in the ground. But there was a time she felt stuck, trapped in place until he blew into her life. And though he couldn't move her, he offered her something new, giving her room until she was loose enough to free herself.
He was Air; peaceful and agile, like a gentle breeze that drifted overhead. But sometimes he was lost in the turbulent gale of his emotions. No matter how hard he tried though, she was the one he couldn't push away. She waited until he was calm before helping him find the ground.
They were different, but they were exactly what the other needed. He gave her freedom; she gave him stability.
