Fics like The Velocity of Water

If she could, Toni would spend the vast majority of her time in the forge. Would spend her days working the metal to create everything from horseshoes and nails to finely worked daggers that match the razor sharp blade of the one she wears on her waist, a gift from Yinsen that she cherishes. She would exist bathed in the heat of the fire, sprinkled with soot and matching her breathing to the rhythm of the bellows. But, like with so many of her other dreams, so much of what she wants, Toni knows that isn’t possible. She’ll never be allowed to work the forge to her heart’s content, to birth creations from metal and fire until the pounding in her head can finally ease. She’ll never be allowed to take to the seas, to explore the waters beyond the inlet where Jarvis, with awe inspiring patience, had given into her childish pleading and taught her to sail so many years ago. Instead this is her life. Pain and cruelty are her norm with her few bits of peace and happiness snatched where and when she can find them.
