Toph Breaks Through by GoldenHourglass

Summary
The Gaang finally makes it to Ba Sing Se…just in time for the Fire Nation to attack with a giant drill. Typical.
With Katara still missing, it’s up to Aang, Sokka, and Toph to stop the invasion from the inside. There’s just one problem: the drill is made entirely of metal, and Toph is blind in there. She can’t see and she can’t bend.
But when push comes to shove, and with the city’s fate hanging in the balance, she digs deep and does the impossible. Because when you’re the greatest earthbender in the world, you don’t wait for someone else to step up and save the day—you break through.
*Set between Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of Fanning the Flames, this one-shot explores what Aang, Toph, and Sokka were going through off-screen, and how Katara’s absence changed everything.*

Summary
When Katara chose to stay behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, nobody was concerned…until the library sank and Appa was kidnapped. Now, the Gaang is stranded in the middle of a desert without their waterbender, and things are falling apart fast.
Aang is unraveling, Sokka is hallucinating, and Toph? She’s barefoot, blind, and pissed…but somehow still the most capable one here.
She didn’t vote herself team captain, but it’s not like anyone else was qualified.
*Set during Fanning the Flames, this one-shot explores what Aang, Toph, and Sokka were going through off-screen, and how Katara’s absence changed everything.*

Summary
Left behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, Katara waits days for Aang, Sokka, and Toph to return. But when bounty hunters close in, her only chance at escape comes from the last people she ever thought she could trust: Zuko and Iroh.
Now traveling under false names, bound by a fake marriage, and with no room for mistakes, Katara finds herself on the road to Ba Sing Se. What begins as mutual distrust slowly turns into eating side by side, sleeping even closer, and something far more dangerous: comfort. She thinks it will end once they reach the city, but in a place crowded with millions of refugees, and stuck in the Lower Ring, she doesn’t have much hope of finding the others. With no leads and nowhere else to go, she resolves to wait for her friends to find her.
But in their cramped apartment, days turn into weeks, and Zuko and Katara begin to settle into something that almost feels like domestic bliss. It isn’t real. Or at least, it isn’t meant to be. But the longer they stay, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins.

Summary
“Your lungs have collapsed. You can barely breathe on your own. Aang’s been keeping you alive with airbending.”
Oh. That explains a lot. Zuko can’t do anything but choke in response.
Thankfully, the Water Tribe boy isn’t looking for a response. “Not even four hours ago, Katara was the only thing keeping you from bleeding out on the pier. You’re probably just minutes away from being back where you were then.” He accentuates his point by gently applying more pressure to Zuko’s injury. Fucking ow. “You need them. If you want to stay alive, you don’t try anything. Okay?”
Shit.
. . .
When his ship explodes, Zuko isn't so lucky to get away unscathed. No amount of firebending can protect him from the solid steel the explosion launches everywhere. His ship is lodged in his chest, and he can't breathe. He must rely on the Avatar to do it for him.

Summary
Based on the tumblr post by sleepdeprivationitself:
Toph goes to the Jasmine Dragon in Ba Sing Se and meets Zuko as Lee, knows he's lying about his name, but just assumes that he's trans but hasn't come out yet
She keeps dropping hints that she's an ally and not a snitch
———
In which Toph figures out that Zuko is trans before anyone else. Including Zuko.
