So I just want to start off by saying that without a doubt this is the best Tokka story I have read no question bare non. Now since I just recently discovered that there was a Sokka and Toph relationship supporting community online via several different websites I havenβt been able to help but dive into this universe once again and take up all the Tokka art, stories, etc that there is. Growing up when Avatar the Last Airbender first premiered I fell in love with this show so much. When it ended it saddened be so. Now I havenβt watched Legend of Korra but I know some details about the show and from everything that I have read and watched it doesnβt seem like it measures up and in a lot of ways itβs garabage but I digress. Anyways my love for ATLA universe has always stayed with me and when I recently ordered the complete series on blue ray and watched it over again I was glad to see that my love for the show was still the same. Now since I discovered this online community back in July I have read a lot of Tokka stories from a variety of websites and the first one I came across I have used as a bench mark for all others. It didnβt end the way I wanted it to but it left me with a lot of tears and an overall strong impact which any good book/story should do. Now that isnβt to say that all the others Tokka stories I have read werenβt good because a lot of them are and I reread a lot of them and thatβs high praise coming from someone who isnβt a strong reader at all. But Iβve only found one or two that have had them same or similar impact that the first Tokka story I read had. Now like I said Iβm donβt posses the best reading skills and when I finished a Tokka story and wanted to find another I kept coming across this story but it always felt to donting so I kept skipping over it. But my love for the ATLA universe and Toph and Sokka relationship is so strong that I said screw it and took the plunge and Iβm so happy i tdrcided to climb this mountain. Without a doubt the best Tokka story Iβve come across. It is just so well written, captures all the characters traits/qualities so well that I couldnβt believe it. I never once while ready ever felt that a character was out of character, the story was always engaging and it all fit in the ATLA universe so perfectly. Now as a 25 year old man I have no shame in saying that I have sacrificed many hours of sleep to continue onto the next chapter because I never wanted to stop reading this story. But before I make this essay any longer Iβll finish by saying that I hope you are doing well old man and that you continue to finish this story. I know itβs been like 2 years since your last entry but if you read this just know that there are many people who love this amazing story that you have written and would be eternally grateful if you finished this exquisite piece of literature. Granted I have just recently discovered this community and a lot of the stories I have read and will read have been completed for months and or years so Iβve been spoilers in that regard of not needing to wait. Iβm a Tokka supporter for life and I pray that you are doing well.

Got confused between the deviantart saying chapter 62 and ff.net saying 60. I just want to say that I really hope you're doing okay and still working through this, you have an amazing gift for writing and I know many of us are desperate for more, you're very hard on yourself about your writing. If you're feeling down I hope this support helps you get through and hope to see more soon.

Glad to hear it, never doubt how great of a writer you are, this is without a doubt the best fan fic I've ever read, but maybe I'm just biased because I love tokka

Not bad but still a little.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm a little over 4,000 words in but still have maybe 6 to 8,000 to go. Sokka goes fishing, Toph gets carried around and then Katara and Aang show up, which hopefully will be fun.
