That was so SAD! I have no idea about the canon of this show, but GOD! I was all noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Brilliantly written.

It's fairly canonical with a bit of imagination to flesh it out, I guess I would say? This doesn't even happen until season 2, though. SPOILERS! ;)

But thank you! I'm glad you think it's well-written. It took me about a week to really be happy with this, so.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tears. In my eyes. Poor Toph! Poor Appa! I always felt really bad for her when Aang got so upset at her for not being able to protect both them and Appa, and I just love the way you got into her head and were able to really describe their relationship. I could not have asked for a better fic. Flameo, Phoe. Flameo. <33333

Also, I got an I blame tag!! I feel special! :DDD

Awwww, why thank you, my good hotman! I always felt bad for Toph at that part too, especially since she DID do everything she could to keep everyone safe, and it just wasn't enough to save Appa. Not to mention that part in "The Chase" when Aang rounds on her for saying she's carrying her own weight when it's really APPA who's carrying everyone's weight. It was kind of tough for me to get into Toph's head at all because she's stubborn, but I'm really glad it worked for you!

I'm thrilled you liked this!! And of course you got an I blame tag, silly billy. I wrote it just for you! :)
