---An excerpt of the scene, written by :icondestiny-smasher:---
It was an awkward moment of silence as snow-white eyes stared blankly through Sokka's vulnerable form, his mind still shaky from the memories he'd been sifting through. Traces of a smirk formed on Toph's face as she awaited a response to her question.

"Uhhh...Ya OK there, Meat-Head?"

Her words seemed to wash past him in that moment, so lost in those eyes he was. They glowed at him with a familiar, warm admiration...like Yue's once had. This was a new and strange experience. In those eyes -- windows to places unknown -- the round, pale circles became twin moons, shimmering with the memories of stargazing with Yue, and the girl's obsessive love of all things lunar.

{...and I know that maybe it's a little too sentimental for your tastes, my Love, but...No matter what happens, I will always be watching over you, Sokka. Even when I'm not nearby, I will still be with you.}

Yue's handwritten words from that old Christmas card invaded the void of solace his mind had slipped into. Sokka found himself suddenly enchanted with a fanciful thought: that Yue still watched over him through Toph's elegantly empty eyes. He molded together this fable that Yue lived on as a guardian angel, still determined to help Sokka find happiness in this world. Toph was the vessel for that happiness, and Yue had led her to him through blinded eyes that glimmered like moonlight.

"Hello?" Toph's serenely neutral expression shifted to impatience. "Hey, Snoozles, I asked you a question. I know you can be pretty brain-dead and all, but...gimme something."

Sokka was amazed. Never before had a girl's face elicited such a mythological swell within his normally logical, scientific brain. And never before had Toph's porcelain face looked so...damned beautiful.

"Erm...Yea," Sokka finally blurted out, his face burning, his body tingling. "Let's, uh...Let's go do that, Toph. You and me."

A comission for :icondestiny-smasher:, for his A:tLA.Lok based AU fanfiction "What I Learned at SRU". It's really wonderfully written and creative, and I urge you to take a look at it :D He was wonderful to commission for, and I really enjoyed drawing this.

*goes off to work on the rest of the comissions now*

If you are interested in comissioning me, please feel free to note me ^_^

This is definitely a future scene, yes. xD That text above is literally what will be incorporated into the scene. =) (though perhaps with editing or something, maybe)
