Love the idea of Toph feeling the air and sky through absence. What isn't there is as important as what is. It's always a bit of a thrill to think that different people perceive the world differently, as though there were as many different worlds as there are people--and really, there are.
This also reminded me of Touch the Sky (http://archiveofourown.org/works/347198) by amyraine, an Avatar Toph AU where she learns to airbend.
