Don’t ever back me into a corner expecting me to break.

                           I do not go gentle.

             I will take every single tear I shed on your behalf and use it as ammo in the war that you started.

                               I will fight until I can’t fight anymore and I will win.

Because while I might seem fragile to you

                  { I have won more battles than you could imagine }

        and I am stronger than any warrior this planet could muster up.

                                                        You bite me and I will bite back.

           The trick is —-

                                         —- my teeth are [ s h a r p e r  ] than yours.

   Toph nodded at the acknowledgement, thinking little of the sigh she’d heard escape the monarch before her Given what she’d already seen in her short time in the capital, Toph was quickly getting used to being surprised.

    Maybe it was the promising tour of the city, the respect of the servants, or the civil - hell, even enjoyable - repartee between them… but Toph was starting to see things Azula’s way. And far be it for anyone to claim that the Toph Beifong was easily swayed.

    She waved off the questions and stood easily. “ No, I’m fine.” Thanks to the changes you made. “ And thanks. You’re not so bad an opponent yourself.” Toph allowed her a smirk.

    A few years ago, she might have taken offense at the idea that she needed help, but Toph wasn’t the same kid she’d been when she first entered the war. And maybe Azula wasn’t either.

     Still, she wondered.

“ I have to say I was expecting to get more push-back about this. The way you used to be, I thought you’d have thrown away the key to your brother’s cell by now. Why the red carpet treatment?” 

     “Oh believe me, I was tempted. After what he did to me... Well. You and I both know what it’s like to be prisoners, don’t we?” She played it as nonchalantly as she could, but the bitterness crept into her voice. In a rare display of vulnerability, she pushed up the sleeve of her robe, exposing the ropy white and pink scars that encircled her forearms like dragon’s breath. Toph couldn’t see them, she supposed, but the mere act of exposing them to the air was meaningful.

     “I got these scars when I tried to melt through my restraints. After that they started drugging me, chi-blocking me, sedating me. On Zuko’s orders. He didn’t know what else to do with me.” Azula tugged her sleeve back into place and shrugged, then looked away, a little sheepishly. “I was angry, when I could think clearly. I still am angry. But I stand little to gain by taking Zuko entirely out of the picture. I have the long term to think about, and he figures into those plans. Besides.” 

     Her voice became softer.

     “He’s still my brother.” She smiled at Toph, as though Toph could see it. She never felt truly comfortable talking to anyone about this, not even her therapist, but the words came almost naturally when she was speaking with Toph. There was a certain respect there, Azula thought. “You’re not so bad an opponent yourself” was high praise from the greatest earthbender alive, after all. 

     “And you are the Toph Beifong, inventor of metalbending, hero of the war!” Azula said it with purposeful, almost teasing exaggeration. “You’re on a mission of peace, and I think that’s something our world desperately needs. Besides, you’re my guest. Believe it or not, the Fire Nation once had very strict rules concerning hospitality and the treatment of guests.”

☘ : Does your muse believe in luck? How about fate?

☘ : Does your muse believe in luck? How about fate?

     I think she does believe in both, but only to a certain extent. She doesn’t necessarily believe there’s some conscious force between either one, and she certainly isn’t going to base her life on some ancient prophecy or religion. She makes her own way. 

     But as for luck, she’s definitely an opportunist. If events arise that are conducive to her goals, Azula will take full advantage of them. 

     Then as far as fate goes, Azula’s believes that it is the fate of the Fire Nation to conquer the world, and that it is her fate to lead it. For a while, that belief was thrown into a spin and she was thrown into madness, but when she recovered, she believed even more strongly. In fact, she could almost believe that some higher power, the spirit or the flame or of the sun itself, called her to glory.

    The heat of Azula’s blush radiated through the layers between them, and Toph unabashedly leaned into it. In moments like these it was easy to forget that the stuttering mess in her arms was the same woman who commanded armies, who cut men down with nothing but her silver tongue.

    Her smirk widened and she hummed as Azula’s lips left a hot trail up her neck. The she registered her girlfriend’s words.Oh spirits. She couldn’t help but snicker, brows rising comically. Of all the things her girlfriend was freakishly talented at, flirty talk was not one of them. Lucky for her that Toph found it charming, then.

“ Mmm, fine, but not because you told me to.” She closed the distance between them.

     Azula didn’t get the chance to throw in a snarky comment about being Fire Lord, about how the better part of her job description was telling people what to do. Instead, she felt Toph’s lips against hers and she positively melted into that kiss. Her body temperature shot up a few degrees, fire pulsing through her veins. Azula was in love: hopelessly, feverishly in love with the little earthbender who had once been her enemy. 

     “I like this much better than the old days,” Azula murmured against Toph’s lips, before stealing another kiss. “Though I admit, I was a little disappointed when we didn’t get some epic, final showdown.”

     She grinned, teasingly. “I would have won, of course, but it might have been fun.”

♬ : Does your muse sing well? Regardless of whether they sing well or not, do they enjoy singing?

     I think that while she was at the Academy when she was younger, Azula was trained in various forms of classical Fire Nation music--including singing. She understands all the necessary techniques, and she can carry a tune, but it sounds a little hollow and forced. 

     However, sometimes she’ll hum to herself, or quietly sing old songs when she thinks no one can hear her, and when that happens, the songs take on a different tone. Sometimes, she almost even sounds happy.

azula x toph in the fucken uhhhh, fog maze

So uuuuh Angie and I have this AU where Toph’s the Avatar and Azula and Zuko are the ones who find her. It’s not a nation swap as much as it is a role swap, but the cultures of the nations are altered, so the Air Nomads become the Air Kingdom, and the Earth Kingdom become the Earth Nomads, etc. I tried to sorta show that in changing Toph’s outfit but errr I don’t know how well it translated!

But anyways so yeah we decided that The Cave of Two Lovers would translate into an extremely dense fog that’s nearly impossible to navigate. Toph and Azula are really at their wits end here … hmmmm … wonder what’ll happen next …

I used to punch walls until my knuckles bled because I was filled with rage and anger, now I punch walls until they bleed just to fucking feel something, or to at least try.

I fear red will engulf me, That blood will turn to bone, Muscle, heartbeat fading.   Gently, Do it gently.   All I wanted was to be Something beautiful, to sew kindness gently into cracks.   “Draw blood,” they say, And oh, the countless times I’ve tried.   All I wanted was to be Something beautiful,    To bleed Something beautiful.    I can’t even Bleed properly.

Hey kids! Just a heads up, I’m gonna be going on hiatus for the next week or so while my girlfriend visits from out of town. I may do replies sporadically while she’s here, but they won’t be very frequent. 

After that, I’ll be back in action! If you need to get  ahold of me before then, send me a message or just ask for my discord. I’ll be back around the 26th!

One-Week Hiatus!
