SRU - Fussybritches and Mudslug by Sa-Dui
(Depicting SRU!Katara & Toph from Chapter 70.)
“I can’t…do this. Being a loner, and…and all that shit. I guess…maybe I’m not so independent like I thought…”
“Toph, you know…having people here for you, that doesn’t mean you’re not strong, or that you can’t be who you want to be.”
“Mm…” Toph was still unsure about that idea. She just cried like a little child in her friend’s lap. That wasn’t strong. That couldn’t be.
“But do you get it, now?” Katara wondered.
“What’s that?”
“That I’m not going anywhere. That you’re stuck with me.”
Toph smiled brightly.
“Yea.”
“And I know the others feel the same way, Toph…We all have been missing our little Mudslug.”
“Heh. I’ve been…missing my Fussybritches.”
