The Blind Musician (Toph x Male Blind Reader)

Family Reunion

(Y/n Pov)

(45 years later)

It has been an exceptionally long time since I had seen Toph, Lin, or Suyin since we had our big fight, but I am still reminded of that day with the scars that come with it. Since then, I have lived here there and everywhere as a nomad and just played my guitar for money. 'This takes me back to my teenage days.' I was thinking as I was walking through a town that was not that far from Zaofu. 'Ya know what, let's go that way then.' And I start to make my way towards Zaofu.

After a few days of traveling, I arrive and get one of the warmest welcomes I think I have ever received. After arriving at a hotel, I decided to throw a spur of the moment concert for the welcome I received. I started walking around announcing to come see The Blind Musician in the center square at sunset. I did this for about 30 minutes and then went to the square and noticed through the ground that there were people already there waiting. I then started setting up and tuning my guitar.

It was time to perform and there was a lot of people here to watch me perform and it felt nice to do big gatherings again. "Thank you all for coming to my performance. It has been quite a while since I have done a good-sized show, but my voice is still strong! Please enjoy!" The crowd starts applauding and cheering as I got ready to start my first song.

(Remember When by Alan Jackson)

"Remember when...I was young and so were you and time stood still. Love was all we knew. You were the first and so was I. We made love and then you cried remember when." I could feel the aura of the crowd slightly swaying to the music. "Remember when...we vowed the vows and walked the walk. Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard. We live and learned; life threw curves. There was joy, and there was hurt remember when." I started feeling a little low while singing, but I kept going to the end. The crowd went wild after the song ended and just like clockwork, I bowed to them and thanked them for their love.

After a few more songs, the gathering was interrupted by some high-ranking official that came in and announced. "So, I heard that The Blind Musician was in the city, is this true?" and the crowd starting cheering and whistling to show their love to me. "Well then, if you fine folk don't mind, I would like to speak with this man and you all head home." The crowd awes in sadness, but I tell them that I enjoyed their company and love them all. I pack my guitar and walk up to the official and introduce myself. "My name is (y/n) (l/n) and who do I have the pleasure of meeting?"

"Well I thought it would've been obvious that you would be able to recognize your own daughter, right?" I froze and my brain had a time relapse to remember. "S...Suyin? Is...is that you?" I feel a tear crawl down my face and crack a smile. "Hi dad. (sniffle)" And I wrap her up in a hug that only a parent can give their child. I can hear her lightly cry as I am hugging her, and I just stroke her hair in comfort. "It's been too long Sue..." I set her down and place my hands on her cheeks and give her a kiss on the head. "Tell me, is your mother here?? What about Lin??" I feel her expression change, and then answers.

"Mom left years ago...no one's heard from her since, but Lin's here with the Avatar. She and her friends came to pick up my daughter since she's an air bender." My mind remembers the times with Aang after hearing about air benders but is quickly returned to reality realizing that I am a grandfather. "I'm a grandpa?! Oh, I must come see her!" "(laughs) Well then, come on home dad." I follow her and her guards back to her home, which was way too rich for my blood, but I was proud of her. Upon entering the house, I heard Suyin call for her kids, and I was extremely nervous the whole time.

Shortly after calling for her kids, several young adults came into the main room. They go over to Suyin and I hear her talk to them. "Kids, there's someone I want you to meet, The Blind Musician, also your grandfather (l/n)." I can feel the shock in the air as I then hear and feel several people run up and wrap me up in a group hug. "(chuckle) It is nice to finally meet all of you." As I am hugging them, I decide to ask them all a question. "So, who's the air bender?" the kids part a way and I hear a young girl probably in her 20s speak up, tells me her name is Opal, and she hugs me. I return the hug and tell her that I was good friends with Aang back in the day.

"Is that so?" I hear another voice come from a couple of feet away, and I sense a familiar aura of this person. I part from Opal and walk over to the person. "Aa...I mean...I'm sorry, my name is (y/n) (l/n). And you're Avatar...?" "Korra, of the Southern Water Tribe, and this is Asami, Mako, and Bolin." "Nice to meet you all. Now Korra, I'm guessing then you know Master Katara?" "Yeah, she's one of my closest friends. How do you know her?" "I met her in Ba Sing Se, along with Sokka, Aang, and Suyin's mother. That reminds me, where is Lin?"
