Why this piece is awesome: This is a gorgeous, soft portrait of adult Toph holding toddler Lin. The artist does a great job at believably aging Toph to adulthood, with an athletic build and visible muscles. And the gentle warmth between mother and daughter is beautifully conveyed.

Why this piece is awesome: This is an adorable installment from a series of posts in which the artist speculates that Iroh II might be an airbender (before his bending status was confirmed in canon - so now it's AU). All the installments are well worth looking at, but this one is my favorite because it's so sweet (awww Zuko!), and there's also a little story to go with it! (All the posts in the artist's airbender!Iroh AU can be found under this tag.)
