Title: makes a battle like a song
Fandom: Avatar: the Last Airbender

Summary:
Toph gets to rescue a princess, but Azula isn't exactly what you'd call grateful. For one thing, being held captive by vengeful earthbenders has rekindled the problems she hoped were left in the past. For another thing, she's uncomfortably drawn to Toph, the only woman in the world who can match Azula for power and arrogance. With the tenth anniversary of the Avatar's return nearing, Toph and Azula find themselves fighting to prevent another war.
This is the first third of the story! The second third is being edited, the final scenes are being ... well, scratched at. They would have been done last weekend, only I found myself mysteriously unable to write, which may or may not have been related to the emergency gall bladder removal I had to have on Tuesday.
Management recommends viewing the full work for a more satisfying reading experience!
