Finally got around to reading this, now that I've seen the show. I especially like the very last part, about the songs in the different kingdoms. ;D

This is a great story.

I love the way that Toph felt about sight and blindness. Her thought of the unreliability of sight was wonderful, and her almost superior-feeling attitude about her connection to the earth was spot-on.

I love the bittersweet ending. The story was heartbreaking for me, but so believable. The way Toph thought of her parents; she loves then, craves their acceptance, and ignores her other wants, just so she can have her family back.

Not many people remember that Toph is still just a little girl, which I thought you did wonderfully here. You kept her tough demeanor, her feeling of still being old and better than everyone else, but added in her age and everything that comes with it.

The wording was fabulous, as was the sentence structure.

All in all, fabulous story. I don't think I've ever seen anyone just GET Toph more.

Kind-of depressing, but sweet.

sad but very believable.

This is beautiful. Deep, insightful, thoughtful and wonderfully executed. Exactly the kind of study the fandom has been sorely lacking, especially as of late. Much commended.

That was ... phenomenal. 0.0

Truly. Beautiful, and poignant, and just ... REAL. So true to character, too. I'm in awe.

Beautiful. You've captured Toph in such a way that I can hear her voice and see her move within my mind's eye. You've really outdone yourself with this piece of artwork. Thank you for posting it!

Brilliant story. I love how you captured the way that Toph sees the world differently because she isn't limited by sight. You struck a nice, poetic balance not only between the warrior and the child but also in the way that everything has changed, but nothing has really changed after all in her relationship with her parents.

God, this is so beautiful. I love how you write Toph; how you make her walk the line between the strong, willful girl we know and the child she remains, the little girl who still wants her parents. This is such a great take on that journey for Toph, and I -love- that you kept in mind that the whole world wouldn't learn about the end of the war at once.

Some crit - at the beginning you wrote Bei Fong a variety of ways, and there were a couple other typos in there. Other than that, great job. -sniffles and favs-

Wow, this is beautiful. Both happy and melancholy, in sort of a way showing that the family is back together, but everything has changed and who knows what will happen next. You also do a good job of capturing how Toph perceives the world without sight.

Wow, this is deep, I would have never imagined this side of toph's story. You had so much detail, I felt like I was actually in the story with her.

You should defenately keep doing stories like this. I really liked it!
