Um. Don't drink while having a migraine

You can't tell me this family isn't ridiculous when they have free time.

"The light that filters through the window,

The gentle breeze that bids farewell to summer,

We find happiness in the most unexpected places"

This doesn't have much context, a modern setting where Tenzin enjoys his two girlfriends, who are deep after a while of giving each other affection.

I'm addicted to Lin's drawings of her leaving her lipstick on others.

*no one knows these two are married to each other and have four children together

[risingsoleil]

what if lin was pregnant when korra came to republic city like pema was? would that change things more or less?

If Lin got knocked up by Tenzin because they had a fling...

The drama.

The affair.

I'm not messy, but Tenzin certainly is.

Let's say Lin and Pema get knocked up at the same time.

Tenzin is on the fence about either divorcing Pema or staying in his marriage. While Lin continues to follow in her mother's footsteps.

I don't think Lin is in Chief position at this point due to her age and the risk of pregnancy. She might be consulting Saikhan on what to do while she's stepped away from this role she worked so hard for.

So Korra and Lin might not be building much of a relationship because Lin is focused on her health + baby's. But that doesn't stop Lin from having strong opinions about Korra based on what she hears on the radio, and from her annoying and "asshole" ex.

Lin and Pema go into labor on the same day.

But since Tenzin is already in the city, he's with Lin and delivers the baby. He protects her while Amon is causing havoc. Seeing the airships go after the island and his family too, Tenzin makes the decision to sacrifice himself so that Lin keeps her bending.

Lin is so out of it. Everything is painful, her body and mind are in shock. Bu she refuses to let Tenzin go. She's an earthbender, and he's an airbender.

That's when he kisses her hard.

"You can't protect me all the time, Lin."

"Yes I can," she whispers, shifting and trying to stand up.

Tenzin forces her to stay in the protection of (insert safe space that none of the Equalists find).

"Let me protect you and her," Tenzin says firmly, kissing her again and then the top of baby's forehead.

Lin doesn't have the strength to argue against Tenzin. But she does have enough to protect her daughter if she needs to against these Equalists.

Tenzin loses his bending, and is forced to watch Amon try to equalize his own children. Until Korra comes to the rescue.

Rec list for lok fics 👀

Buckle up, Buttercup!

I have read so many fics over the past four years that I cannot possibly do everything justice. The little fics that fit into very niche interests. Long fics that require some hefty time investment. While I include one unfinished work here, there are several more that are excellent. 

These are not ‘random’ choices, but neither are they in any serious order on this list. They range from stories where The Ship is the Point to ones where Yes There’s a Ship in Here Somewhere to Friendship is a Ship, and one where the only ships are ones in the water. 

My primary ship is Kyalin, so expect to see that one pop up more than once. I’ve left so many off this list - you’ll notice I don’t have a single Korrasami fic here. There are some excellent works that sail on that ship.

I was going to hold myself to 10. But I just couldn’t.

Warning: Nearly all of the canon compliant / conforming / complicit / contrarian fics here probably should wait until you’ve finished the whole series.

brave soldier girl, comes marching home by @toastweasel A realistic portrayal of Lin from the time she was hurt by Su through the end of the 3rd season, except she’s an alcoholic. Lots of trigger warnings, but absolutely worth it. Not a ship-focused story.

KyaLin’s Travels by @slowdissolve Part 3 of a series that tells the story of Lin & Kya, starting a while after the end of the series. Part 18 (!) is the only unfinished entry here. The first fic I commented on, and my original door into the world of fanfic.

Her Favorite Mistake by @wishingforatypewriter The first Linzolt (Lin/Lightning Bolt Zolt) story caught my attention for its sheer off-the-wall-crackiness. The author’s intelligence and humor won me over.

The Bender Suicides by Aiffe This is set right after Season 1, and is obviously not happy. But it’s one of the best under-2000-word stories I can name.

The Scars that Made Me by @sanrielle Lin Beifong’s story in Lin Beifong’s words, toward (but not quite at) the end of her life. Well-worth reading more than once.

Blossoms Softly in the Mountains by archer_nebulae This is a story of Huan and his father, set in Season 4. An interesting look at two mostly side-lined members of the Beifong family.

I Made a Difference to that One by @whattheflameo A modern non-bending AU that works remarkably well. Unfinished, but it remains one of my absolute favorites. I even shared it with my children, I love it so much. And there are dolphins, which is its own plus.

How I Always Loved You by @orangepanic The story of Yasuko and Hiroshi. At least so far as I’m concerned. I don’t give a flying fig if “canon” ever comes along and tells a different story.

Blazing Sunsets by @orangepanic This is the fic I read when I need a laugh. Lin and Bumi get up to shenanigans following the series finale.

Song for Our Daughter by @cobaltzosia Opal Beifong is just about the right age to have something of a different origin than the series leads us to believe. Canon contradictory, but an amazingly nuanced, poignant, and eminently hopeful story.

Inheriting the Wind by @athoroughlycommonpotato Tenzin’s story, from the death of his father up to just before he breaks up with Lin. Lovely, lyrical writing.

Discover (we can do it together) by @frooopsen A story from The Ship is the Point list, we have: Lin/Pema. Modern AU. Another comfort fic for me.

An Annotated Bibliography of the Wars of Unification by HopefulPenguin A non-story fic that’s just what it says on the tin: a bibliography. This author put together a series of what academic writing in the universe might look like following the events of LOK.

So there ya go, a baker’s dozen of fantastic fics.

Have fun reading!

ROUND 3, MATCH 3

Pemzin previously defeated: Borrili, Sokkla

Zukka previously defeated: Makorrasami, Zutara

[brynnsasha191]

I feel like Tenzin and Pema got the reputation of being a boring ship and I thought that too until I actually thought about it. And I know a lot of people prefer Linzin but now that I'm actually thinking about it...Pema and Tenzin's love story is honestly really cute and the opposite of boring. Let me explain why (tw: my opinion, head canons, and speculation)

Tenzin has always been a major part of rebuilding the air nation and he was always kind of Aang's successor, and Pema just started out as a simple air acolyte (which obviously means she had an extreme love for the air nation) like any other. And she probably developed a crush on Tenzin pretty quickly. Which makes sense! He's an air bending master who's older than her (if you're attracted to older people pffft couldn't be me *sarcasm*) anyone would have a huge crush on him. But Tenzin was already in a relationship with Lin, so she tried to stay away. But she still had to work at the air temples and be around Tenzin a lot. I hc that they had a lot of long, entertaining, friendly conversations that tortured Pema but Tenzin probably truly thought they were platonic. And Tenzin felt like he could confide in her and she made him laugh and vice versa.

But eventually they both must have picked up on the fact things weren't ideal between Linzin. And that's when I imagine Pema was put on Tenzin's radar and he started reciprocating her feelings. Which I bet he was really in denial about because he didn't want to be a cheater. But the more he started to realize that he and Lin weren't good for each other and that their futures weren't compatible, his feelings for Pema probably became harder for him to deny or hide. But gosh, was he trying to deny it. And he probably started to much prefer Pema's company to Lin's, and that probably fed Pema's not quite so delulu that she might have a chance with him, this along with the fact she had already believed with all her heart that she was his perfect match, as she told Korra.

Now, all this probably led to Pema confessing to Tenzin in a You Belong With Me by Taylor swift way. And hearing this from Pema probably connected all the dots and he realized he couldn't keep doing this to himself, Lin, and Pema. And Tenzin decided to break up with Lin and become a couple with Pema.

AND THEN LIN DESTROYED AIR TEMPLE ISLAND AND TRIED TO THROW PEMA IN PRISON??? Pemzin's story is anything but boring, it's a damn soap opera. And I love it.

Pemzin is adorable and imo really cute.

[kingwuko]

Underrated idea: Mako and Wu on a double date with Pema and Tenzin. Discuss.

[lis-muerta]

Random thoughts about Pemlinzin (but about AUs)

🪷A universe with kaiju where people with affinities for combat robots are bred for combat and used as little more than weapons. Tenzin becomes a robot engineer to be close to Lin, who is the best pilot of her generation. With sacrifice they gain permission to marry but the higher-ups want to introduce Lin to a "seedbed" program to preserve their bloodline even if it is against her will. To "balance things out" they are assigned a caretaker, Pema. Unfortunately things don't go the way the higher-ups want.

🪷Pema and Tenzin are "something", two boys in high school (he is about to graduate and she is just starting), their love story begins when she moves in next door and from there it seems like a classic shojo... Until one night something crashes in the yard, a creature that comes from the depths of the sky and calls itself "Lin Beifong"

🪷Lin is an untraditional woman in the 70s, she has always felt out of place in the feminine standard, her choice of a career as a detective does not improve the treatment of society either, but it is okay, she is married, she has a healthy daughter, at least that cushions things... Until her husband is kidnapped and she must enter a cult to bring him back, but she is not alone, Pema, a young woman in her twenties who ran away from home looking for freedom and meaning in her life sees in Lin (and in Tenzin) the opportunity to escape from that place that distanced her from everything, even from herself.

🪷Pema and Tenzin are summoned to the religious school because their eldest daughter was discovered kissing her best friend, that should serve as a push for both of them to get Jinora out of that school... But not before getting the number of Opal's aunt, whom they would meet at that meeting... Or at least Pema, Tenzin has things to confess.

🪷Tenzin is a university professor who is about to marry his lifelong best friend, a police officer who has finally given in after almost ten years of relationship. However, one of his new students, the very outstanding Pema, begins to get closer to him little by little, but it seems that it is not him that she is looking for in his cryptic paintings.

🪷Pema's life is perfect, she's married and has her spectacular children, she doesn't have to worry about anything but her family, however, her oldest daughter insists that she accompany her to her ballet classes now that her father has changed shifts at work. Pema accepts, discovering from the stands a complicated passion for that type of dance and for the woman who instructs him, perhaps hell is not the only thing that lies beneath his scarred face.

🪷Lin is a lonely girl. She was just a child when the world succumbed to the plague that destroyed society and now she wanders on her steed, evading death day by day. Her days seemed doomed to that until a strange couple at the wheel of a fortified motor home saves her from dying at the hands of the infected... Maybe living in the apocalypse isn't so bad.

And that, expect it in fic or drawing format, whatever comes up.
