(This first one about Sokka is sort of a Sokka/Yue pairing, but also someone else. Whether its Toph or Suki, that's for you to decide) (The second story is one of my favorites)
SOKKA
My life was once predicted to be a dull one.
It was said I wouldn't be happy with it.
I'm proving that wrong.
I've found love.
My heart was broken when I lost her.
It was mended again.
My tears flowed freely without her.
They were dried.
I thought my life was ruined.
I was so wrong.
Because my family is here,
My love his here.
It's all perfect now.
Every last bit of it.

SWEETHEARTS
Toph Bei Fong: Loving mother and wife. Teacher and friend. Daughter and Earthbender.
He studied those words carefully. They meant nothing. Who would do something like that? Who would write such dull words on her stone?
The stone! Oh what an ugly stone. She never would have chosen a stone like that. It was an ugly brown, with little detail to it.
But, of course, they didn't know her. Well, they did, considering she was their mother… she was someone's wife… but they didn't know her, not like he did.
He had been her friend; her best friend. He had been there for her all those years. He'd proven his friendship to be pure and it blossomed into something more. Something so much more, that neither of them could hide it from each other.
But that was just it; they couldn't hide it.
The others would find out soon enough and they had to make a decision.
They made the wrong decision.
She'd stood before him… she'd poured out her feelings again and again, stating quite clearly she didn't care if the others knew. But he did. Him, being him selfish self, did. And he ruined it.
"It can't work Toph," he held her face between his hands, kissing her lightly. She pulled away.
"But-"
"It can't." he let her go. He walked away. Just like that.
He regretted that day for the rest of his life. He wondered and wondered what became of her. He wondered and wondered if she'd ever forgive him.
But he knew she wouldn't be able to. He'd broken her heart once, she wouldn't risk it again.
He stayed away.
But as the years wore on, he had to find her. He had to make sure she understood that he always loved her; always. Even if he ended everything they had. He loved her; only her.
But this was where it led him. To the grave in center of the Bei Fong garden; the resting place of his Toph; his sweetheart, but nothing more.
