bc @reigncorps got me thinking about lin cooking…….

“Shoot, fudge, flameo fu—!” Lin hops on her good foot as she leans to pick up the metal tongs that had landed squarely on her poor uncovered toes. Spices and sauce have sprayed everywhere, a red-and-brown tableau coating the wall like modern art.

There was a reason that she’d left the cooking to Toph growing up (and Toph had been a… less than stellar cook), and then to Tenzin after that. It wasn’t until they’d broken up that she’d picked up her first cookbook and struggled through a simple stir-fry — who knew that you had to blanche broccoli to make it taste less green? Or that baby bok choy wasn’t just one big bok choy cut into tiny pieces? In fairness, baby carrots were bigger carr— not the point.

Anyway, food has never really been about flavor or fun for Lin. It’s always been about sustenance — what’s on the menu is usually whatever’s quickest (or whatever can be made from the leftovers in the fridge). She manages not to go hungry, or to make things that are too inedible, but she’s had her fair share of close calls. Thank goodness for the takeout place next to the station with their 5 yuan noodles — she’s not sure why they’re that cheap, and twenty years down the line, she’s not sure she wants to ask.

So when Kya waltzes back into her life and declares that they’re going to host a family brunch — together — Lin can only stare in growing wonder as her girlfriend whips up tongue-numbing Sichuan peppercorn and sriracha with hand pulled buckwheat noodles topped with freshly-harvested onions and watercress and Daikon radish. She must’ve been staring for a touch too long, because Kya notices her and just winks.

Lin drops her tongs again.

I can’t even decide what I love the most about this - Lin being a clumsy chef is classic, but struggling with stir fry? the whole baby veggie rant? the five yuan noodles that she probably orders like three times a week? or maybe it’s the way she’s in such awe at Kya’s cooking, because who wouldn’t be ??😩💖

Do you talk to your mutuals?

Telepathically more than actually

Thoughts on the ways kyalin tease each other for their height difference? :3c

generally they both don’t really care about it, but alas….the jokes do happen

- Lin hates when the height difference is brought up, so she tries to avoid it. 

- Anytime Lin says something like “just a short while” Kya will take the opportunity at hand and say “short like you?” She will interrupt Lin’s sentence for it and Lin always has to contain this fury she feels because she does not want to give her the satisfaction. 

- after Kya had made three height-jokes in one night (which had all been very valid, because Lin gave the perfect preparatin) Lin made a joke about how she “downgraded” and she meant that Kya was slightly shorter than Tenzin, but while Lin is a bit rusty on slang, Kya knows it rather well and so Lin kind of accidentally actually hurt Kya and her preddy face showed as much and Lin was lowkey traumatized into not making a joke about Kya’s height again (dw, lots of kisses, affirmations and cuddling to make up)

- when Kya wears heels for something she always uses Lin’s shoulder as an armrest (not because it’s comfortable, because it’s definitely still an awkward angle, but because she wants lin to know that she can)

- when they eat over at ATI Kya always reaches the food with her long arms and Lin always glances at the thing and then Kya and has this “please don’t make me say it” look and Kya always gives her the things (with a wink though)

- Kya sometimes complains about how the kitchen counters are just the annoying amount of too low for her -> Lin says they’re the perfect height

- sometimes Kya opens a door for the two of them and she always puts her arm very high on the door and keeps holding it, so Lin has no other option than to walk through under her arm and Kya never fails to point out how Lin almost doesn’t have to duck, Lin rolls her eyes, but she find it cute how amused Kya is by this

- if anyone in the family dares make a height joke abotu the two of them, they will fight that person together but then for the following week bring up the exact joke at home anytime it fits and laugh about it a little

I know this says “tease each other” but….have these thoughts, too:

- Kya loves it when Lin gets on her tippy toes to kiss her, so sometimes she pretends like she doesn’t notice that Lin’s trying to give her a kissy, so she does it on her tippy toes

- Lin gets very soft and melty when Kya tilts her chin upwards

- Lin is turned on to the max when Kya stands very close to her and kinda glances down at Lin right before she says something that immediately turns into ✨ horizontal exercise✨ -> Lin will deny this, but it’s a thing

- one time Lin was annoyed and cornered Kya and she simply booped Lin’s nose and spoiler alert it did not end in ✨ horizontal exercise ✨ it ended in Lin holding a twenty minute lecture on reasons why to never ever do that again

listen i know we all agree it’s a bun and all but it is beyond frustrating that i cannot understand how her hair works

like. what is that? is it all held together by bobby pins she metalbends into place? is that a hint of a braid we see? how long is it actually? does it get caught on that little cable cruncher thing??

i need answers

damn it i wrote a fic about her hair

did i make a post yesterday about lin’s hair and find out exactly how she styles it thanks to some a+ tumblr sleuthing? yes. 

did i then write a multi-chapter fic entirely about lin’s long hair? also yes.

please accept my humble offering, aka: five times lin puts her hair up (and one time she lets it down)

(cw: none, ch: 2/6, wc: 3300+)

I miss having my fur niece around so how about Lin and Kya on the couch watching tv, reading the newspaper, radio one, etc with a corgi puppy on Lin's lap. 🥺

Soft prompt: Kya sleepily cuddled up by Lin while Lin does a crossword?

Lin cuddling with a sky bison plushie in Kya’s room.

Kya lifting a sleeping Lin

i imagine lin ends up falling asleep on the couch more often than she likes to admit, so kya always scoops her up and tucks her tired gf into bed <3
