DON’T touch me I’m thinking about how we never see Suki out of a uniform until the very end of book 3. I’m thinking about how the only non-uniform clothes she wears in the show are the clothes of the country that imprisoned her and separated her from her sisters and burnt her village down. I’m thinking about how, even in Suki Alone, we only see her wearing the same clothes as everyone she’s with. I’m thinking about how, even on a meta level, Suki doesn’t really have an identity outside of the people she fights with and the people she protects.

Korra: What goes up but never comes down?

Lin: The level of stress you bring into my life

[whattheflameo]

lin may objectively not want kids whatsoever...

but four dumbass teenagers really just walked into her life and all of a sudden she was actually a mom

(source: that time she caught korra at the pro bending arena, that time she literally broke all of them *out of jail* instead of even remotely going the legal way, giving mako a job, you get the idea)

[whattheflameo]

Can you do a small one shot of Lin getting hurt like maybe a cast on her dominant hand and she's mad XD

Thanks for the prompt, I hope you like this :)

Kya wasn’t sure whether she felt annoyed or amused. She had been standing on the threshold of Lin’s office for about half a minute, unnoticed by the woman inside. Lin was sitting at her desk, but facing away from the door. The cast was still on, which probably was a good sign, but judging by the way Lin was shaking her hand in utter anger and frustration, it was only a matter of time until she would probably cut it off.

“Hey,” Kya knocked lightly against the doorframe, announcing her presence.

The angry frown on Lin’s face only softened gradually as she looked at Kya. “Hello,” she mumbled. “Why are you here?”

Kya wasn’t perturbed by the unwelcomeness in the question. She knew it had nothing to do with her. She walked towards Lin and sat on the edge of the large metal desk before answering, “I wanted to see how you are getting along.” To make her point clearer she nodded towards the cast. “Not well, I take it?”

Lin grimaced at her words. “It’s unbearable, Kya. I can’t write and I can’t bend properly.” She curled up her fingers as if she were making a fist and one of the drawers rattled, but didn’t open. 

“See?!” Lin’s frown intensified.

Kya took hold of Lin’s hand without answering. With a frown of her own she examined the red skin around the edges of the cast and carefully palpated the bones. She heard Lin’s sharp intake of breath when she hit the base of the thumb and simply shook her head.

“I’m sorry, Lin. You will have to keep wearing the cast for at least another week.”

Lin groaned loudly. “Next time I see Korra, I will kill her!”

Kya couldn’t help but grin a little at Lin’s resigned statement. “Isn’t that the exact attitude that caused you to end up with this? Maybe you shouldn’t seek to compete with the Avatar.”

To her mild surprise Lin simply shrugged. “She challenged me, what else should I have done?”

“Hm...say no?”

Another shrug, accompanied by a faint blush. “I don’t like getting old.”

Kya smiled and lowered her face to brush a soft kiss against the palm of Lin’s hand. “Me neither, my love.”

Lin: "I'm a mature person, I apologize when I'm wrong ."

Korra: "I've never heard you apologize..."

Lin: "I'm never wrong."

[whattheflameo]

Lin: Don't worry Jinora, everyone's afraid of something.

Jinora: Even you?

Lin: No
