awww, now I kinda feel bad for both of them :(

That's how I felt for Toph, since, she never did get the guy in the show. She had to watch as someone just as tough, determined and interesting as she was get the guy she had been crushing on and travelling with for months.

But I don't feel too bad for Toph. She is tough, determined and interesting after all. She'll get her own harem when she's legal no doubt. And Sokka moves on. He never did stick to the past like Katara did =D

Awww. This was so sweet, and so sad. Bittersweet. I love these two goofing off together, but their quiet and introspective moments are important, too. And I don't think those moments get enough attention in fic.

I think so too. I'm not very good at writing funny, and since the picture was so bittersweet and beautiful, I wanted to try and write a serious scene with these two very funny characters.

It was difficult to write Sokka, but it was interesting trying to convey the guilt he would have regarding his girlfriend dying in his arms, and how he kept trying to blame others for that guilt. Not that I blame him, but it was just sad to see how easy it was to write.

Thank you for your comments =)

Thank you! I'm not a huge fan of Tokka, but the picture was just so beautiful I had to write for it. The whole piece was difficult to write, so I'm glad that you thought it turned out great =D

I loved Toph's conclusion too, and I really wanted to end it there, but I wanted to end on a funnier note than that. So Toph punched Sokka in the shoulder. Classic.
