BEND HIS CONFIDENCE
Chapter 1: The Crown
Now posted on ao3! Will be posted on Wattpad in the coming days!
Synopsis:
Among the many changes of time, Aang and Katara have opened their relationship. Leaving the door wide open for a certain Firelord to step through. Only one problem- The crown has made him even more unsure. What was already fragile in childhood was exacerbated after the years of sitting on a throne made of the fuck-shit the previous tyrants have left for him to clean up.
After Toph encourages him to listen to his heartbeat, she realizes that though he has physically built muscle, he's been working out with his insecurities.
One vulnerable conversation later and she takes it upon herself to master the art of confidence bending; An act that will spiral the unsuspecting misfits into a series of tangled, breathless events where heartbeats become their secret handshake, and bodies make up, and make out out where words cannot form. With the sweet scrape of rock against his, she will spark his desires and mold him into a confident man fit for any lady like Master Katara.
Only to realize that he may have the ability to bend her heart in a way she least expects.
