When Ty Lee returned to the Fire Nation they called her a hero for helping conquer Ba Sing Se but she didn't feel like one.
Memory
The first thing Ty Lee said when she met The Boulder was, "Hey there, cutie."
Box
Not that he'd say it out loud, mind you, but The Boulder always felt romantic relationships boxed him into a corner.
Run
His handsome face was set in a deep frown at the behavior of the small group of thugs but Ty Lee had disabled the leader and sent the others running before he could do anything.

Drink
"The Boulder would like to buy you a drink, ma'am."
Midnight
"I'm sorry, Azula has a very strict curfew."
Temptation
The open road had taunted him ever since they were wed though the idea of actually leaving her behind was frightening.
View

Talent
Both of them had a talent and both had once used that talent to entertain until an unforeseeable event provoked a career change.
Silence
When Ty Lee had told him that she was pregnant, there had been a quiet minute then The Boulder had fainted (though, out of pride, this is another thing he will not admit).
Journey
"Are we there yet, Boulder?"
Fire
Though Ty Lee would like to admit that she was never a part of the Fire Nation, the fact still remains that her son is a Firebender.

He calls himself "The Boulder" because he wants a name that seems as strong as he feels.
Mask
When The Boulder finally returns to his birthplace, he has to play the part of a son that wants to settle down.
Ice

She dances beautifully, The Boulder thinks to himself.

Ty Lee liked how he looked standing there with beads of sweat dotting his body from a hard day of training.
Sacred

Farewells
Knowing that he can't stand saying goodbye, Ty Lee left for the Fire Nation without saying goodbye but she promises to herself that she will return one day.
World
The world is a logical and stern place so Ty Lee had long ago decided to be as illogical and positive as she can just to spite it.
Formal
Against the wishes of Ty Lee, the wedding is a formal and traditional affair.
Fever
Ty Lee had to disable The Boulder once when he had gotten himself sick because that was the only way she could get him to rest.
Laugh
Out of all her traits, he likes her laugh the best just because he hears it so often.
Lies

Forever
Even Ty Lee understands that nothing lasts forever.
Overwhelmed
The Boulder's old mother eyed Ty Lee wearily and said, "You finally came home, Lao, and you brought a tramp with you."
Whisper
"Don't be hard on her," The Boulder had whispered to Ty Lee afterwards, "She's just surprised."
Wait
"Don't leave yet, please," Ty Lee had called out to his fleeing back and to his surprise he came back.
Talk
Rumors spread fast in small villages and as soon as The Boulder heard the one about his son he knew they couldn't stay there any longer.
Search
"The Boulder is sorry but we should search for another place to live."
Hope
They had hoped the child would look like an Earth Kingdom citizen and he did but unfortunately their son had inherited Firebending from an uncle Ty Lee couldn't remember the name of.

The Day of the Black Sun had passed without event for them, safe out of the Fire Nation's reach.

As soon as they could, they started out on the road again.

The unknown loomed up like a great mountain but they weren't afraid.
Lock
There was something about the acrobat's eyes that had locked his into place.
Breathe
When their son was born, he had to leave to catch his breath alone and to think.
Done for the 1sentence livejournal community. Yep, another Ty Lee/The Boulder fic. A pure crack pairing but that's why I like it so much. No complaining on the pairing, please.
