Request for recs

I have had this urge over the last week or so to read really good Toph fic.

Unfortunately, I recall from experience that searching for well-written fic that has Toph in-character is very difficult. I've read some by my favorite authors ([livejournal.com profile] the_flowergirl and [livejournal.com profile] yukinoomoni, for example), but I'd like to branch out a bit more. I was hoping a few of the Toph fans on my FL would have some recs.

I'm not picky about pairings - and it doesn't even have to be romance fic. I just want to read IC Toph fic.

Anyone have any to share?

This fic right here is a good one. It's Taang/Kataang (no zutara if you're worried)- and Toph seems pretty in-character!

I'd rec mine, but I think you've already read them.

The Full Metal Bitch (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5904011/1/The_Full_Metal_Bitch) by Lavanya Six. A great age-up of Toph, showing us all what she would be like ten years older. Unfinished, but Lavanya assures me it will be finished eventually.

Pretense (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5946980/1/Pretense) by Qwi-Xux. A post-war Toph/The Duke fic, one that realistically uses time and affection and makes it work into something quite beautiful.

Of Late Nights and Insight (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5424076/1/Of_Late_Nights_and_Insight) by Sylvr. A great one-shot of Zuko and Toph's friendship after The Western Air Temple.

Six Feet (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5033505/1/Six_Feet) by MaikoisForever is a HORRIBLY SAD FIC but still incredibly beautiful all the same.

Brave Soldier Girl Comes Marching Home (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4844985/1/brave_soldier_girl_comes_marching_home) by Serendipity1, this is so well-written and amazing, showing a scene of Toph's homecoming.

I HOPE THIS IS A GOOD START~!
