ughhh I just read under false pretenses and OMG this might seriously be one of the fics that altered my brain chemistry. it's Soo good holy crap.
AHHH!!! This is so, so nice; really making my day out here 😭
I’m so glad you liked that one. UFP was one of my favorite ones to write, and it was conceived during an insane bout of writers block, so I kind of owe it to it to have thrown me a life vest lol.
I know you didn’t ask for the fic’s history but imma tell you anyway LOL. I’ve always been intrigued by Azula lying to Toph so smoothly that there was no change in her heartbeat that T could detect. Azula couldn’t be the only person in the world to get one over on Toph, could she? It’s a concept that lingered in my head since I first watched the show (in 2020) and stuck with me until I finally caught this idea with a fishing hook as I sifted through my brain. Toph being so hellbent on sticking it to her parents that she allowed herself, accidentally, to be charmed by a man who seemed to have the very same intentions for his own father, only to come to find out that he’s wicked and conniving, and that she couldn’t catch his whole scam? It’s a major blow to her, especially when Sokka—someone other than herself, who is so used to reading folks and catching them in lies or fibs—had a bad feeling from the start (which might have had something to do with his thinly veiled jealousy but I digress).
It’s still one of my favorites to look back on. And I loved creating and writing and falling in love with and hating Hwan all at the same time. I refuse to be done with this character; he’ll make an appearance in other fics/aus that I write heheh.
Again, I’m so glad you loved it, anon, and happy you gave me a reason to gush about it LOL
Send me asks about anything!!
Best written fics I've read tbh
