Aang was not what Toph would consider a knight.
Knights were strong and brave and charged headfirst into battle. Aang was strong and brave in a very different way, and had a 'words-not-weapons' attitude, always trying to find alternate ways to solve their problems. Knights slay dragons; Aang danced with them. Knights were chivalrous and mannerly; Aang could barely pass as a busboy. Knights road in on a white steed; Aang flew in on a ten-ton bison.
But he had rescued Toph from her misery, like the knights in stories who always saved the princess locked high in the castle tower (though, she was not a princess and would kill anyone who thought otherwise). That had to count for something, right?
As far as fairytales went, theirs was hardly conventional – the monk in a vibrant toga saving the not-a-damsel-in-distress. But it was their story, and they wouldn't dare change it.
Author's Notes: So, I'm pretty sure this kinda fic has been done over and over, but I still like it. It's cute and fun to write.
Hope you guys like it!
