Voices in the Night

Ikki couldn't sleep. The moon was too bright and there was a hummingbird moth that kept tap tap tapping at her window and her head was too full of thoughts. So up she went, using a cushion of air to glide down the hallways so her mother wouldn't hear her steps and be cross.

Once outside the moon was even brighter, like a big wheel of sky bison cheese. Ikki couldn't see the hummingbird moth though. What she did see was a butt. A butt with dangly legs hanging out of one of the open windows.

"Hello, Mr. Butt!" she chirped. There was a yelp and then a man tumbled out into the bush. When he stood he had sticks in his spiky brown hair. "Oh, hi Mako," she corrected.

"Shh!" Mako pressed his finger to his lips like a teacher. His face was all red and his shirt was unbuttoned. "I was only, um, looking for... yeah." Then he took off running across the grass.

"Bye Mako!" Ikki whispered, waving. He was funny. No wonder Korra liked him.

She turned and walked the other way around the residence. A lot of people had been staying on the island lately to help her dad with what to do after those scary Equalists and making a new council and stuff, so she wasn't surprised to see a flickering light on in one of the detached residences.

"I'd never leave you unsatisfied," said a low voice, followed by a wet sucking sound. "Until tomorrow then." The flickering light bounced a bit until it was outside, where it resolved into a tiny flame carried in the hand of a young man Ikki had known all her life.

"Hi, Iroh!" she called. "Can't sleep, too?"

Iroh jumped like someone had blown air up his pants. The flame in his hand winked out. When his eyes finally settled on her she saw him sag in apparent relief.

"What are you doing out of bed, munchkin?" he asked quietly, jogging over. "It's late."

"There was a moon and a hummingbird moth and Iroh, what are all those red smudges all over your mouth? Were you kissing? Oh it'd be so romantic! Who were you kissing, Iroh? Was it a princess? Are you gonna make her a princess? Where's your belt? Are---"

Iroh clapped a hand over her mouth and steered her back in the direction of the house. "I wasn't here," he whispered in her ear. "There's extra candy in it for you tomorrow if you can remember that."

"Mwhf frn nu---" Iroh released the hand over her mouth. "Okay, goodnight General Not Here, I like rock candy, the apple ones, and I hope it was good kissing and that you go home and have good dreams about your princess where you get married and I'm invited and you fly away on a dragon together into the sunset and have lots of babies."

Iroh rubbed at his mouth with the back of his hand, blushing. "Go to bed."

Ikki waved at his back and started back to the front door. The idea of candy made her remember there were leftover sweet buns in the kitchen which no one could tell her she couldn't have if they were asleep.

Suddenly a dark shape detached itself from the shadows of one of the far buildings. Ikki stopped in her tracks. There were no more Equalists, her father said, and no bad guys coming to get them. Still, something about the way this person moved screamed "bad guy" all the same. He wasn't walking so much as slinking. A slinky bad guy slinking away from who knew what badness.

Ikki opened herself and sent a jet of air at the man's back. He stumbled with a grunt and wheeled on her and he was old! Old like her daddy was old, with wrinkles and bushy eyebrows and a stripe of white down the middle of his gray hair like a skunk bear.

"What are you doing, kid?" he growled.

"We don't want any Equalists," Ikki said firmly, hands on her hips.

The big man's posture relaxed. Then, of all things, he laughed.

"Me, neither, kid," he said. "I hate those buggers."

Ikki snorted. Buggers. Like bugs. "So why are you slinking?"

"Visiting an old friend," he said. He rubbed at the corner of his mouth and smiled. "We're getting reacquainted. I like doing that on your island. It's fun for me. Do you know what irony is?"

Ikki did. "It's what auntie Lin bends."

A grin cracked across the man's craggy face. "She sure does bend alright," he said. Then he shook his head with a sharp laugh and started off in the direction of the ferry. Ikki wondered if he was going to meet Mako and Iroh for something. Maybe they were having a tea party.

I was trying to write a scene for Falling Backwards but it turned into a ‘How Lin got her scars Au’

Tw torture, tw eye damage

Lin’s body started to shake and convulse, involuntary desperate movement trying to pull away from the men that held her head in place under the surface of the water in the troth. They pulled her back just as her vision started to blacken again and she desperately gasped for breath through the horrible cough brought on by the ice cold water in her lungs.

“She doesn't know!” Lin could hear Saikhan’s voice from beside her and she tried to shake her head but the men’s grip on her hair held her in place. She tried to steady her breathing but it was useless, her chest heaved as she caught her breath. Saikhan couldn’t break before she does. She’s been beaten and nearly drowned and he’s starting to worry for her, but soon it would be his turn. Lin didn’t have much time to collect her thoughts before she was being pushed back towards the water again. “No! No!” Saikhan tried to stop the men as they moved to push her head back under the water midbreath. Lin coughed and choked as the water splashed and spilled with her struggle. Lin’s vision faded as she thrashed and tried to kick out against her tormentors, her movements started to slow. She could barely hear Saikhan yelling, muffled by the water and her waning consciousness. Suddenly she was thrown onto her back on the floor, a wretched gasp pulled air into her lungs before she started to cough up the water.

“Boss won’t be happy you two were sniffing around.” one of the lackeys crooned.

“Yeah, best fess up why you’re here without orders.” another finished wrapping leather over his knuckles.

“Like I said, Zolt-” a painful blow to Saikhan’s jaw interrupted him.

“You’ll have to do better than that.” another painful blow. Lin rolled to her side to try to keep from choking on the water in her mouth, a harsh kick to her stomach rolled her back over as a boot pressed to her chest, limiting her breathing.

“Bastards-” Lin groaned as she struggled to breathe.

“Someone mentioned me?” Zolt himself appeared on the other side of the bars, his arms hanging into the cell nonchalantly.

“Zolt! Buddy, tell these idiots we’re here under orders.” Saikhan tried, but they knew they were made.

“Nah, there's no fun in that.” Zolt grinned then his smile fell as he saw Lin. “Wait a minute! Hold on a second my lovely gents. Is that anyway to treat the Chief’s daughter?” Zolt smiled wide now seeing who it was the two had captured.

“What are you talking about Zolt?” the heavy boot on her chest pressed down with more weight on her. Lin tried the ties holding her wrists pinned between the dirt and her back but they held fast.

“We’ve netted a Beifong, boys.” Zolt moved into the cell now.

“She- she's not!” Saikhan was floundering but trying, another harsh blow to his already swollen face and he was dazed, his eyes swimming as he tried to focus.

Lin scowled as Zolt came and pinned her with his own boot to her already aching shoulder, shoving the other guy away. “Hey Lin, remember me?” Zolt was more than enjoying this turn of events. It was only a handful of months ago he had been arrested in the streets after a confrontation with the young Beifong.

“You’re- Mistaken,” Lin coughed, her wet hair clung to her face as the water started to mix into mud under her head and shoulders.

“No, no I don't think I am.” he pulled a knife from his boot. “How about a lesson you learn this time?” He knew how they worked. He figured once they didn’t check in the place would be swarmed by RCPD officers and that was the last thing he wanted with the boss trusting him with this shipment. “A reminder to not try to cross me again?” His hand came down and gently brushed the hair clinging to Lin’s face away. Lin pulled her face away from the heated blade as he then moved to rest the sharp edge at the base of her jaw. His bending causing the blade to start to glow from the handle. Lin gritted her teeth at the burning cut.

“No! You can’t-” Saikhan received a quick kick to his gut in return.

Lin cried out as Zolt dragged the blade deep into her jaw and up her cheek, she tried to move her face away and he pushed harder the metal crossing her eye.

“One for trying to undermine me.” he growled, another harsh drag of his blade and a twin mark to the first appeared on Lin’s face. Lin couldn't help the scream of pain. The cuts were burned severely and her face was hot and stung as tears and dirty water fell into the new wounds. “And another so you won't forget me next time.” he kicked her so her damaged face was pressed to the mud now as he turned to Saikhan. Shock took hold of Lin as her vision blurred as she coughed and tried to bite back a sob. She heard Saikhan cry out in pain behind her before a heavy blow hit her from behind, her eyes rolled back and her body fell limp.

Lin and Saikhan were found the next morning out cold on the steps of the RCPD. The scars of her failure already too damaged to heal properly. Zolt’s brand clear on her face as a constant reminder. Saikhan vowed to never tell a soul and Lin left it out of the reports. The two were removed from the case. Lin was put on desk work until Toph was sure she learned her lesson about not reporting injuries correctly.

Still, rumors spread like fire in the under city and soon Zolt was promoted when people confirmed it was him who ‘took out’ Beifong.

🤍 Thoughts on Linzolt ? please and thank you.

Oh gosh, not my particular cup of tea 😅 just because I have such a hard time believing Lin would be attracted to a criminal- especially such a successful one!

Having said that, I've read some thoughtful fic for that pairing, like @nyamadermont and @slowdissolve's project Red Jade that sets up circumstances in which it could be most plausible!

Suyin singing "Paint the Town Red" by Doja Cat somehow feels right in a cringe way.

But also, "Bad Idea Right?" by Olivia Rodrigo is such a Lin x Zolt song.

And, Lin listens to "Daylight" by Taylor Swift when she's coping with falling in love.

Omg yh. Su totally gives that vibe lol. I feel like she’d just try rlly hard to be cool and her kids would just be hiding their faces and cringing so hard lmao.

And yess I can imagine Bad Idea playing in the background of linzolt before they make out. It’s soo them.

And the third one 🥹 i know it’d hit different for Lin after Tenzin. I can imagine her realising she can fall in love again even after everything that’s happened to her. The Lover album always makes me think of Lin.

This is Part 1 on a series of the speculative biology of Galar's fossils. Keep in mind that due to the incomplete nature of the fossil, the discussion here is primarily speculative.

Zolt is revived from the Fossilized Bird. It was likely an Electric type, though the currently incomplete fossils suggest it was possibly a Flying type as well. While a large majority of the head has been recovered as fossils, the lower half of its body has very few fossils found to properly reconstruct it.

Zolt was an avian Pokemon that existed somewhere between 70-140 million years ago. It was likely covered in feathers, as per its avian form.

Zolt was likely an omnivorous Pokemon. Rudimentary reconstruction of its lower half suggests large talons likely used for hunting small prey. Dracozolt and Arctozolt have been known to graze, but this could be a result of the hunger from their poor biology. Zolt's small stature compared to the known Pokemon of the time may have meant it struggled to hunt, leading to speculation that it was also an oppurtunistic scavenger. Based off behaviors of modern Electric types, it is also theorized that it was piscivorous. Electric types often electrocute bodies of water to kill aquatic Pokemon, then proceed to take the deceased prey that rise to the surface. Its avian nature would further allow it to swiftly grab prey it hunted using this method.

Zolt likely engaged in pack behaviors. Fossils have been uncovered showing groups of Zolt that have all died in similar circumstances, including young ones, leading to the idea that they hunted or engaged in pack behavior. This would also account for its small stature, a large pack of Zolt would be able to hunt prey larger than itself.

Because not much of its lower body has been recovered, there is little known of its mobility. However, it is believed that it could have flied with proper plumage around its arms.

Because of its Electric typing, it was possibly an ancient ancestor of the legendary Pokemon Zapdos.

(ooc: Thank you to @pokemoncenter for the clever idea of Zolt electrocuting the water to hunt for fish!)

sooo I’m insane about mako right. well. well ho hum well do you remember the other ball of repressed rage firebending member of team avatar.

yeah so imagine the timeline gets switched up a bit. aang (sorry aang ily but it’s for the plot) dies a lot earlier so the gaang is all in their early thirties late twenties when the krew start to be born. none of the major plot events are going to really change (gaang will be atla white lotus age by canon, almost 60s) and rc has for the most part been established.

boom around ten-fifteen years later they’re all around fourties. the krew is in the ten-fifteen y/o age range—korra’s training in the compound, asami is being groomed into a businessgirl, but yk what that means for my favorite bending brothers? the streets.

the gaang minus aang are still active and about (sokka is alive Because) so it’s zuko’s turn to help toph run the underbelly of rc. she always gripes that she’s doing fine in her old age (she’s like,, 38) and they can just leave her alone with the damned city to rot (she mostly hates her job. only reason she sticks with it is because it’s a sort of backwards way to take care of su and lin*. if the city streets are safe, there’s no reason not to let them off free) but of course the gaang has a rotation anyway. they try to stay sort of in contact after ending a hundred year war together because that’s kind of big.

*by the way sokka is not their dad. they were made in a terrarium because toph Built kids out of boredom and aang gave them bending as a joke and they just. grew. became alive. idk it seems more in character than toph having kids the normal way.

so anyway zuko is out patrolling. he’s on gang-spotting duty, so basically toph has the aging fire lord running around after guys who graffiti gang signs on walls and Politely Asking where their hideout is. today he happens to stumble upon an inter-gang scuffle. it’s pretty typical, and he’s moving to stop it when—boom, lightning and screaming. now, it was mostly thanks to his (and a reformed azula, because she will be getting in here somehow) efforts that lightningbending masters took hold and spread the subbending more commonly, but it’s still not typical to see it in poorer areas. yet there’s one person with a gang rumored to have it—you guessed it, zolt!

so zuko goes chasing after the source of the lightning, thinking toph is gonna be so happy she won’t punch him for a week and keep her griping to a minimum once he brings in one of the biggest thorns on her side.

but it’s not zolt he’s chasing. it’s twelve year old mako, scared shitless that the firelord is chasing him down and nowhere near fast enough to outrun him or hide. none of zolt’s cronies are dumb enough to try and bail him, he knows, but he also doesn’t want to leave bolin waiting on a dead brother.

zuko catches him, baffled that ‘zolt’ is so small. mako says nasty shit (because in best impression of 12 y/o mako voice : royalty. You are the 1% that makes Us like this) trying to wriggle free, revealing himself as definitely not zolt.

Zuko stares at this grimy, angry little twelve year old with old, peeling burn scars (I’ll make a post soon about the scars he definitely has from like,, everything) and fresher lightning scars and is like,, hmm. tiny angry firebending child with scars and likely insurmountable levels of trauma=me as a child who just needed some guidance and turned out fine (not really but it’s the thought that counts)

and then he uses his brain really hard and decides he will give tiny angry firebending child with scars and likely insurmountable levels of trauma guidance. so mako gets picked up by the scruff and is dragged, kicking and screaming, by the firelord to the police station.

toph hears a child shrieking and is immediately like no. get it away. out of my police station NOW. and mako is like YES get me out of her police station NOW. and they have a moment of commiserating mako’s presence in the police station together.

but then zuko is like what if we gave him Guidance. toph says bring that bullshit to katara and gtfo. cue lin and su, annoyed teenagers/young adults around canon krew’s ages for highest potential siblingism. btw the beifong relationships are much better in this. su is immediately like. can we keep him mom please. lin agrees with toph and wants it OUT she just started working here and tenzin’s yapping about kids does not need to follow her to the bullpen.

mako is put into police custody (su drags him around with her and watches him overnight). he wheedles her into finding bolin and becomes much more agreeable when he has his brother to hold in a death grip. when asked to separate, he threatens multiple creative methods of murder.

this got really out of hand but the idea is that katara and sokka side with zuko and they all gang up on toph, who somehow caves and agrees to let zuko give Guidance to tiny angry firebending child with scars and likely insurmountable levels of trauma. she forces bolin on suyin but she doesn’t mind too much, shoving metalbending down his throat.

korra meets them earlier on, finally having some friends her age! they’re all really really weird though so none of them are well adjusted when korra finally runs away to rc (they follow her everywhere). how terrible. but mako and bolin are like 5000x stronger without even trying and they also have money.

all three teenage freaks meet asami (who is immediately endeared by their weird asses), shit goes down, but this time featuring nebulously-father zuko, favorite person-without-title-but-probably-scary-aunt azula definitely mom-adjacent katara, weirduncle sokka, toph who goes to the swamp whenever she wants because lin is basically chief of police already and big sisters lin, su, kya and izumi. also featuring cousin-ish iroh II and long distance/reluctant (respectively) older brothers bumi and tenzin.

I believe both mako and bolin, if possible, would be considerably more batshit insane considering who they were raised by, but also more calculated on mako’s part because azula absolutely got her time in with him. I think katara would’ve taught them, for an absolute worst case scenario, how to handle bloodbending, so they would’ve wiped amon. I think mako, considering azula, definitely wanted the kill with that lightning on amon but, considering azula, knew it would only turn him into a martyr for the equalists to rally behind without exposing him first.

also puppy love makorra in the compound. then korrasami in rc because pretty girl with a bike but then ‘sorry I kind of have a crush on your childhood best friend korra but I’m still in love with you’ ‘WOAH sick really? same lol.’ ‘we should all kiss.’ then makorrasami!!!!

so yeah I totally lost my train of thought but that’s like. generally it(?)

Thinking about young, broke Zolt and his crush on the earth kingdom heiress.

“Zolt was never one for cactus powder or any of the other hard stuff his friends all tried. When it came to vices he liked something relaxing, a smoke out in the fresh air or a smooth drink. Him and Lin were the same in that regard. Only she drank the finest fire whiskey yuans could buy and took drags from cinnamon flavored cigarettes. He drank whatever liquor he could afford.

He laughed as he lit a cigarette. Lin wouldn’t touch this ‘cheap shit’ if her life depended on it. He couldn’t disagree with her. It tasted awful. But taste wasn’t the point.

It was the ritual. The few minutes respite in the icy night air. Watching the smoke disappear. Focusing on his breathing as he took a drag and then exhaled. It kept his mind from wandering, kept him from thinking about her. Her pretty hair. Her curves. Her biting remarks. How cute she was when she was angry.

He didn’t need to think about that now. He had work to do. He put out his cigarette and returned to the warehouse ready to finish the job. Some nights he regretted getting tangled up with the Agni Kai’s. Tonight was one of them.”

Any Linzolt headcanons 👀

Here's a few:

Both Lin and Zolt consider themselves to be living a double life- their relationship is their big secret-other-life. Zolt is Lin's "friend from the bad part of town" and vice versa.

Zolt likes to massage Lin's feet at the end of a long day. It starts off with feet, winds up with her legs until they end up in bed together. Lin knows "massage" is code for something else now, but she makes sure to get a good massage out of it anyway.

Mako is the first person from Lin's life to find out about the two of them. It takes him a looooong time to process their relationship.

Lin has a secret case file wherein she has been working on finding traces of Zolt's family to reunite them. She has been working on this for decades to no avail.

Zolt has had lunch with Kanto once- he had no idea he was Lin's father, and Kanto had no idea he was Lin's boyfriend.

Lin starts bringing Zolt to family reunions and events after the events of this fic and nobody is allowed to freak out.

Zolt buys lacey lingerie for Lin and she thinks it's hilarious how his motors start running when he sees her in them.

Bolin hears Zolt refer to Lin as his best friend (at the time he didn't know who Lin was/that she was a cop) when he's a kid and figures that's the kind of love he wants when he grows up.

Gossips at the RCPD

It was one of my fave #linbeifongsweek prompts and I'll post it right now because I'm not sure if I'll have time for it in november.

I have a young police officer OC ( the middle one) who shamelessly litteraly ships his boss with one of their biggest old targets and apparently he's not the only one...

“You've got some fucking nerve showing your face in here.” Lin stood, her fingers leaving indentations on the steel surface of her desk. “I ought to have you booked for trespassing.”

The threat seemed to fly over his head as he drew closer, his gaze fixed on her abdomen. “It’s true,” Tenzin said, his eyes clouded with emotion and voice reduced to a broken whisper. “Lin, you’re…”

“I’m on my fucking lunch hour,” she said. “So if you haven’t been the victim of a crime, I suggest you get out before I start throwing things.”

“Do your worst,” Tenzin replied, finally meeting her gaze. “Throw things, swear, call me every name in the book, but by Yangchen, Lin, explain!”

Being a Pikachu is the pokemon version of carcinization. Environmental pressures will always produce a small mammal with electric cheek sacks.
