AW! I loved it. Lin is my favorite.

I realy enjoyed reading this. I love Toph and Lin, and we didn't get shown any of the good timed they had in the show, so this is nice. Thankyou and God bless.

I don't care if it is corny or predictable. It is ADORABLE!
Short, sweet, and just the right balance of introspective.

TT brings out the feels! Their so adorabe together and Toph is so f*cking brave to raise her kiddies by herself I can't even imagine her raising them by herself while she's BLIND DAMNIT! THE STRUGGLES they prolly endured! IM GETTING SO DAMN EMOTIONAL F*CK! Im sorry Dude it's just... feels! This was so beautiful and inspirational AF I probably won't doubt mom again!

So adorable!

Really great :3

It's so adorable! I can imagine Toph like that!

I always thought Toph could learn to read and write by drawing in the dirt! If someone face-planted in clay or something to leave an impression, would Toph know what they look like? I've always wondered this.
I love this cute one-shot!

FAN!

OMG! This is so cute!

Gotta love Toph! :)

[It required Toph to be a little less like Toph, to curb her Toph-ness.] This is interesting, because in the last fic I read about Toph becoming a mother she seemed determined not to change for her child.

[If there were a cure for her blindness, surely they would have found it.] If I recall, Toph's parents were nobles. I wouldn't be surprised if they threw money at every opportunity to cure her blindness. I wonder how Toph would have felt about that... I mean, she always seemed to have a lot of pride and used her blindness as a strength rather than a weakness.

[But she needed to see Lin, and everything connected to her, including her drawings.] Awww.

[Toph knew she was, not only because her friends insisted that she was, but because her heartbeat was beautiful.] This is sweet. However, blind people can learn to recognize faces by using their hands. Has Toph ever felt Lin's face with her hands?

[Then there was the sound of her laugh, like smooth pebbles clinking against one another, or stones skipping across water.] Beautiful.

["Since I can't see your paper drawings, do you think you could draw me a picture in the dirt?" She held out her hand for her daughter, waiting.] I was wondering how they would solve this dilemma. I must admit, this took me completely by surprise. Yet it's so simple I don't know why I didn't think of it. XD

[Toph was beautiful because she was strong.] This is the only part of the story that really felt off to me. It's a great sentiment, but not something I imagine Toph would ever think or say. Otherwise, great work!

Oh, this was far from corny, and let me just say you're a girl after my own heart because I adore Toph (she's my favorite ATLA character), and I do hope we get to see more of her adult background in the new season of Korra because I really would love to know who Lin's father was. But perhaps that's up for speculation.

Anyway, though, this was just an adorable story, and I really love that you were able to see Lin as a cute, adorable, loving child since the adult Chief Beifong seems far from that little, innocent girl, though we did start to see glimpses towards the end. I really love how, just like any normal child, she wanted to show her mother her artistic creations, and it must be difficult for a small child to understand and realize her mother can't see them because of her disability. And I have to say I really love how you captured the reason Toph wished she could see after having Lin. No, we all know she didn't care about that stuff when she was younger, and I love how you show some of that in this. But it makes perfect sense that once she had a child, she'd want to see.

I adored how you showed the first steps flashback. That was so cute and lovely, and I can't imagine what it would be like not to be able to see that, so I think it's awesome you were able to capture that and make it believable.

And I love that the flashback gave her an idea. And what a smart idea it was, too! I love what the drawing depicted and the message in this. It was really lovely, and I am so glad you did something with mother and daughter. I think it's fabulous, which is why I'm giving it a well-deserved favorite. Well done. :)

I like that Toph has to curb who she is because it takes patience to be a mother. It’s weird to think of Lin as a kid but I really enjoy it. It’s sweet. It’s also sad that she wants so bad for her mother to see her picture, but she can’t. I love how you talk about Toph being fine with being blind until Lin came into her life. That was really touching. I do love how she sees beyond though and the way you go into the way Toph looks at Lin. I kind of thought that’s how Toph would see the picture but I was still excited none the less. I like how Lin sees her mother. I think it’s the way Toph really is.

The only part I thought was a little slow was in some of your descriptions about Toph’s life. For instance the telling of what Toph told Katara. I felt it could have been tightened up a bit to help with flow.

However, I really enjoyed this. I thought it was sweet and definitely put a smile on my face. I thought you did a really good job.

Aaaah that was beautiful and adorable.

Awwwwwww
