This moment in Sozin’s Comet where Toph and Sokka think ‘this is it, we’re going to die, we did everything we could’ is heartbreaking for so many reasons. Because it’s tragic and seems final and they were just kids. Sokka holding on to Toph with all his strength even though his leg is broken and Toph putting all her trust in Sokka because he’s the only thing saving her? Devastating. But can we think about something for a second?
Can we think about how the last time Toph saw her parents they rejected her and wanted to put her in a box, hide her away from society rather than accept who she was. How she thought she was going to see her mom in Ba Sing Se but got locked in a small cage where she couldn’t bend. How she decided she hated them but deep down actually missed them despite everything.
How she still wanted to have them in her life and did miss them and took the small step to send them a letter. That was the last time she interacted with her parents and for all we know, she never heard back. Hawky didn’t return. She never got her reply. Toph never got to know if her parents wanted her back.
She could have died without anything resembling catharsis or closure. She’s crying as Sokka tells her “it looks like this is the end” and she believes him. That was going to be it. After everything they went through, they weren’t going to make it out alive.
And then Sokka?
The last time he saw Hakoda was in The Southern Raiders. They barely had time to spend with each other after The Boiling Rock and they didn’t even get a full goodbye. All they got was Hakoda telling them “it’s not forever” and a quick hug in the heat of battle. Sokka was so sure they were going to see each other again because he didn’t know about the plans for the comet and he didn’t know what was going to happen in the coming weeks.
And right here? He could have died with this being the last time he talked to Hakoda. Sokka could have died with only this fleeting moment as the last time he talked to his dad. That could have been the end of it after years of separation with only a few weeks together in all those years.
And they were kids.They shouldn’t have had to be the ones to save the world. They shouldn’t have had to invent metalbending or save their father from a high security prison or march into battle without knowing if they would live or die.
Toph and Sokka were so sure they were going to die in this moment. They were so sure the quick goodbyes and attitudes that ‘it’s not forever’ were all they were going to get to leave behind to their parents. They thought they were going to die and had no idea if Suki or Aang would come out of it okay. They had no way of knowing if Zuko or Katara would live. And they never got the chance to get anything close to resembling closure with their parents.
They just had this trust in each other. Just this grip. That’s all they were left with in the end. Because the world never protected them the way they protected the world.

Hunting Season (Sam Wilson x Bucky Barnes)
Fake Dating AU
Summary: The Barnes family is your average rich people circus. With Bucky’s post-breakup financial depression, and a literal treasure hunt at stake, his best friend Sam finds himself in a mad situation in order to help him. They sure can pretend to be together, but that’s just the easy part.
summary: Bucky’s afraid of heights. Sam falls for him (pun intended). That’s it nerds.
Inspired by this picture:
A/N: ok! Ok so! In the comics Bucky is afraid of heights/of jumping from heights because his dad died in a parachute demonstration. It’s discussed in an early comic with Steve and mentioned a few times later, BUT then there’s that one sambucky interaction and I couldn’t stop myself, the premise is too cute, especially in the whole enemies to friends to lovers paraphernalia. Have a good read:)

“That’s a-” Bucky let out and stopped to clear his throat, staring down. “That’s a big drop.”
He and Sam were patrolling on a rooftop, routine procedure when sent out by the people on top. Facing down from the top of the forty-five-story building, Barnes couldn’t get rid of the knot in his stomach, as if he could slip any second now and meet a certain, gory death.
“You scared of heights, Barnes?” Sam mocked him, one side of his mouth curling into a mean smirk.
“Course not.”
