„ su I want to eat that also! And why is my meal different from all of you!?” you ask your wife while looking at her furious. Pregnancy made you mood swings and food cravings weird cravings and morning sickness but you were lucky that you have your wife and your kids there for you to comfort you.
„ dear you know you can't eat this so this meal of yours is very healthy for you and our baby girl.” she gave your belly a gently rub and smiled at your big belly.
„ no! I want that though please love!” you plead she shookly her head and shaking her hand to infront of your own face.
She gave you a deadpan face and saying to everyone at the dining room to continue to eat.
After you ate you didn't actually finish your food and you ate unhappily you carefully sat on the bench and let out a breath. Since you woke up you felt kind of weak in your stomach but you just shrug it off maybe just because of your back.
You look around your direction you were loving the view infront of you but the thing has been on your mind for a while but you and Suyin never really talk it about.
Before you made your next movement you felt a hands onto your shoulders you tilt your head to feel their touch you knew who it was, it's was Suyin you knew because of her perfume she always use you thought back then why she didn't always left one of those perfumes she have.
Why ask though? She's a Beifong their family is rich super rich If I would say.
„ You feeling any better dear?” you nodded then her hands slip away from your shoulders you whine missing her touches.
She sat besides you and you gave her a kiss on the cheek you saw a light blush on to her cheeks you both smile at each other.
„ Suyin I know you've been busy for the last few weeks but we haven't talked about what should we name out daughter.” you worriedly say and she look like she was thinking something or something to say.
„ you are right my love, well what do you want to name her?” you sigh and took her hand onto your belly and you both gently rub it together.
„ I don't know I thought you want to name her or you have already thought of a name.” you pout she quickly brush it away just by giving you a peck on the lip.
„ sorry dear but I haven't don't worry we still have a time left alright?”
„ alright.” after your short conversation with your wife you both go on to your routine where you would plant or water your little garden and Suyin would dance and do her paperworks after that you made your way to the dining room.
You were walking carefully because you were just by your self but the last few months Suyin would always be there at your side she wouldn't do her work because she was super over protective and worried to you because it was your first pregnancy but you made her sure that you're fine.
The doctor says your suppose to be due in two day or one day so all of the family are very careful with you.
You walk past through a open door but you move backwards again you saw it was Kuvira you smile softly before making your path through her.
Kuvira was the first one you had been always close with she was the one who made you comfortable in the Zaofu and teaching you how to dance for a little bit.
„ Hello there vira.” she jump away from shock it made you laugh hard.
She groan in frustration and turn to look at you you wave at her and sent a soft smile in return she gave you a playfully roll eyes.
„ what now?” you huff in her response when your beside her now you playfully nudge her arm.
„ why I can't say hi to my beautiful daughter?” you smirk and wiggle your brows she just scoff and look down to your body and stop at the sight of your big belly.
„ oh please! How about you being pregnant?” you gave her a sad smile and your hand made their way to your belly and you gently rub your own belly.
„ fine I guess I'm suppose to be due in two days or tomorrow, who knows!” you sigh and looking to the view infront of you Kuvira seem to gets it.
„ So uhm..when are you going to visit them? Have you told su?” she worriedly ask you and you put your hands on your hair she knew it will made you stress if she ask you more questions.
„ no I mean— I don't vira what if my parents don't accept that the fact I married a Beifong and I'm now pregnant and they— we.....we didn't have any connections to each other..” Her hands rubs your shoulders she's making you comfortable but it doesn't seem to be working.
„ well how about your brother?” you stare at nothing for a moment then shrugging your shoulders.
This been going for many years before your got pregnant, married and even though dating Suyin, this is why you are now is Zaofu. You're own parents didn't expect for you to like women your own father and mother were disappointed and disgusted over you while your supportive older brother was there protect you and told you to be away for awhile. And you decided to visit a new city The Metal City. Zaofu.
Past;
You sat down beside your mother while your brother sat beside your father, you thought for a while that they should've known your secret so that they would know but you were to scared that they wouldn't accept for who you were. To be honest you weren't really that brave for yourself you can't even protect your own self.
„ so y/n I expect for you to get married soon to Kuyuno their very generous people their generation has been well nicely I rather say.” your father chuckled while your brother didn't have any reaction at all and your mother smiled beside to you.
You deeply sighed as you've been used to this they been wanting for you to get married 'soon' and start a new family since you were the youngest and your the only one who is a girl in your family to your brother they were doing the same also but after your brother got married her wife or your sister in law divorce him and your brother fell into a depression and you were by at his side all the time like you both used to do when you were kids.
Your brother cleared his throat and stare at you blankly but you know behind does is worried for you you sent him a nod and before turning to your parents.
„ Pa..ma...I need to tell you something.. important.. It's about me actually...” you father was about to drink a glass of water before he looks up to you and your mother turn around to see you.
They both ask what is it and you fidgets your hands but a hand stopped them you look up to your mother who is now staring at you worriedly. You're father was thinking many things in his head the first question was 'Are you pregnant?' you quickly shook your head definitely not pregnant.
„ I-...I don't want to get married at a man pa...has it been oblivious to both of you? I mean—I...I like women papa mama..and—” you slowly spoke and before you even finished your sentence a glass of water was thrown of a wall that shock all of you you all look up to see your father furious like his gonna destroy you're home.
„ What did you say?” he ask in a heavy breath this is what you've been scared of always.
He was about to punch the table a hand stopped him from doing it and you could saw your emotionless brother stopping him from doing it and push him down that made your father stumble your mother quickly got beside him.
„ run y/n I'll take care of this!” you hesitantly ran outside you quickly pulled the door open and all you could hear is your mother screaming for you and your brother and father yelling at each other.
After that eventful night you're grandmother let you stay at her house for awhile you told her what had happened and she told you that she didn't need to accept who you are because it's what you want and it's you're only choice if you like women then so be it.
Many days had passed and you're older brother came to you to sometimes bring a gift your your grandma and a food for you both since it's just the two of you staying at you're grandmother's house. You're brother told you that you shouldn't show up for awhile since your parents is still processing this.
You were watering you're grandma's plants since you were a kid you've always like plants good thing you're grandmother always let's you water the plants in her garden you're grandma was buying foods for the dinner and you turn your head to the clock and look at the time.
You expect for your grandma to show up but maybe you thought many people are buying groceries that's way.
Minutes went by you're grandma was back holding a plastic bags and some other bags that had many foods you quickly made your way over to her and took all the bags that is in her hands she gave you a small 'thank you' you gave her a soft smile.
„ now y/n come over here.” you obey your grandma's order and sat down beside her you saw in her hand that she has a paper a newspaper?
„ look over here sweetie..It says Metal City it's called Zaofu and they have a Dance Troupe!..y/n I've known you since you were born and I think you know what I meant y/n.” you stared at the newspaper reading the article and turning your head to her.
„ but grandma how about you though...even though you will be alone in this house.”
She told you she would be fine at these age of hers it's time for her to relax after the dinner and cleaning the dishes and the house you hop in to your bed the newspaper is still on your hand.
You stare at it then huffing, should you be really doing this you don't know you thought 'spirits help me'.
And when you found a place in Zaofu you tried talking to the metal people in there how you would you join to that troupe they nicely gave you instructions and go to the guards to talk to there Matriarch.
After you've joined the troupe Suyin had fallen head over heels for you and you are now dating secretly for now.
You're brother would often visit you secretly without Suyin knowing and the other kids but that's when Kuvira caught him she even thought she was a intruder but you quickly ran to her and apologize and told her that his your older brother and told her to keep it a secret for awhile.
After you're brothers visit Suyin have been suspecting you she even thought you were cheating at her.
She sent a guards running towards your brother who is scared and really too stunned to speak that made you woke up at the middle of the night and yes your brother visits you every night and sometimes that made you have eyebags.
„ S—...Suyin! Oh my spirits! Suyin that's enough Wha-what are you all doing?!” you yelled at them and you saw Kuvira beside Suyin who is scared to speak.
„ I erm..I tried telling to su but uhm..she didn't listen to me.” Kuvira slowly spoke and you told her to stop the guards to attack your brother she immediately understand and obeyed you.
After you introduced your brother to Suyin she immediately apologize to him she almost bow her head you told her to stop doing it and she was embarrassed what had just happened to her and your brother.
You're brother updated you always on his visits telling you how your grandma is doing and how your parents were doing.
After you're brother had left you hop again into the bed with Suyin she cuddle you and kissed your cheek.
Suyin ask why she hasn't met your parents and why was you're brother sneaking out to see you every night you hesitantly told her everything from the start you almost cried in her arms but she comforted you and hugged you the all night even morning.
And after Suyin had propose to you you told her you weren't ready to invite your parents and told her if it's fine that you're brother should be on the wedding she understoods why and she accepted what you wanted you're brother gave you a blessing.
Present;
After you have a dinner with your family you carefully layed down to the bed but ofcourse Suyin your kind wife help you lay down she then layed beside you. You both cuddle each other enjoying your peaceful moment.
„ Suyin I have something to tell you.” she stare at you worriedly she sat up the looking at you like you were a ghost.
„ is there something wrong? Are you hurt? Am I in trouble? Are you hungry?—” you shake your head them giggle at her questions she then ask why.
„ I think it's time su...I don't want our child to grow up not knowing their grandparents and that...we haven't great connection.” you sat down like she does and she stare at you like 'are you sure?' you just smile at her and then she nods in agreement.
„ I suppose that'll be good love, but right you need to sleep and rest you know I don't want to see you stress.” you playfully rolls your eyes before laying back down again.
You both sleep peacefully for hours just having this quiet and relaxing days will be enough for the both of you and you know that'll be all change when you born you're baby girl that is growing inside of you.
The next morning you have woken up seeing you're wife still asleep that's when you felt really weird like something had hurt your stomach you let out a shaky breath and do a exercise breathing it really does feel weird some painful had hurt the both of you and your baby.
You let out a ouch and heavy breaths that's when you realize it you quickly shook your wife beside you you scream her name and she quickly opened her eyes and turn to look at you. She saw you sweating and it seem like you had a hard time breathing she asked if there's something wrong to you you quickly shouted a no that you didn't know mean to shout.
And then she realizes that you're water broke she got up immediately and told you to stay and she will call the doctors you rapidly nodded at her and she made her way out of your shared bedroom after seconds you couldn't take it anymore.
You grip the ships so hard that you almost thought it will be ripped you didn't know that you'll be giving birth to your house you were expecting to be in hospital but that still not the matter right now.
You let out a shakely huff and you heard a loud thud you saw your wife running into you and told you the doctors is coming immediately you couldn't speak from the pain you just told her that it hurt so much that you will almost die.
You didn't expect for giving birth is so very hard that it will ripped you're vagina so bad.
You didn't remember what have happened after that just some short details you let out a scream and the doctors said keep pushing your almost there but Suyin wasn't your side you knew she is outside maybe panicking for the both of you and you're child.
After the final push you heard a baby crying it was beautiful sounds ever now you're a mother before the doctors could give you your baby they clean her and wash her they then gave you the baby carefully you felt so dizzy.
You gave you're newborn baby a lazy smile and you couldn't help but cries but you were so tired to even cry you didn't even notice that you had fallen asleep.
Now that you have woken up you're eyes opened slowly and all you could see around you is the Huan, Opal and Kuvira they didn't notice you to wake up but your body is responding that you can't wake up for now you let you're eyes slowly closed.
Soon after you woke up you could see Suyin you're wife is rubbing your hand and kissed it you couldn't help but smile at her she closed her eyes then staring up to see you awake her eyes began to widened.
She quickly pulled you into embrace which you tiredly accepted.
„ I love you so much suyin.”
„ I love you too so much to the moon and back my y/n.” you just chuckle at her response and looking around to see your surroundings.
„ wh-where's Raya?” Suyin raised an eyebrow at you and then it hit her she gave you a deadpan look.
„ you seriously gave her already a name without me.” you nodded proudly.
„ but seriously su where is she?” your insecurities began to rise up she cupped your cheeks and look at her.
„ Don't worry love she's with your parents probably playing with her right now.” you really can't believe what she had said you we too stunned to speak you gasped your eyes swelled up with tears your wife quickly brush it with her hands.
When you both heard the doors creek and opened you saw three figures and for many years you seen them again.
You saw you're own father holding his now grandchild rocking her gently your mother and your father stare at you proudly and your older brother gave you a tearful eyes and gave you a thumbs up.
You were greatful to have your little one because she changed you and between your family.

an: this is just another lazy writing and so uhm I think it's bad.

Mako x Female Reader Request: Part One
Imagine being placed with Mako to guard Wu and instantly not getting on. However as time passes and the war progresses you come to be each other’s greatest allies.
Tumblr media
Part Two Here
Part Three Here
Part Four Here
Mako was done with being Wu's bodyguard. He hated everything about the job and just wanted out. He was hoping Lin was going to tell him it was all finally over and he was free but no. He was now going with Wu to Ba Sing Sei after the coronation, his worst nightmare. "But I have some good news" Lin said and Mako rolled his eyes "what? I also get to sleep curled up at the foot of Wu's bed every night?". Lin shook her head "no but don't give him any ideas, you are getting help. Suyin is sending over one of her finest guards to help protect Wu with the upcoming coronation. Her name's y/n and she'll be here later today. This is her file, read it sometime before then" she said pressing a folder into his hand. "I don't need help while I babysit" Mako protested but Lin shot him a look "you were just complaining about how annoying Wu is and now you're upset you'll be getting help?". "I don't want to guard him full stop!" Mako began to argue when Lin held up her hand "I don't want to hear it! Just meet y/n at air temple island this afternoon. Help her settle in, introduce her to Wu and then bring her to me later today" and that was that. Mako wasn't happy but he did as Lin said and arrived at Air Temple island just after your ship had arrived. He didn't know you by name but he did recognise you when he saw your face from his brief time in Zafou. He couldn't recall having a conversation with you but if you were so high up in Su's regard you must be good. You were rather small for a guard he noted, barely 5 feet and you didn't look particularly threatening as a good bodyguard should. You were talking to Tenzin and Jinora happily and seemed pretty social and bubbly. Mako got a sinking feeling this was going to turn into his babysitting two people. He was inwardly cursing Su Yin for sending you when Tenzin looked up and spotted him.
"Here he is now, y/n this is Mako Wu's bodyguard, the person you'll be working closely beside". Mako sighed slightly and not looking at you held out his hand "nice to meet you, looking forward to working with you". You grabbed his hand and he was surprised how strong your grip was "likewise, I know Bolin well through Opal so if you're anything like him I'm sure it will all go smoothly". Mako didn't reply "Wu is waiting for us back at the hotel so we should go". You paused before nodding "sure" and Mako went to reach for your bag but you grabbed it instead "I'll take my own stuff". Mako shrugged in response and set off. He heard you saying goodbye to Tenzin and Jinora before you caught up to him. "So what's the prince like?" you asked trying to make conversation. It didn't work. Mako shrugged "haven't you met him before?". You shook your head "Wu was kept locked up tight until recently. That's why Su sent me along, he's never been this exposed before and someone could easily see it as an opportunity". Mako couldn't doubt your logic but didn't see how having you around would help. He didn't respond and you lapsed into silence. When you reached the hotel Wu was living in Mako figured you'd need a few minutes to rest or want to unpack but you practically threw your bag on your bed and nodded "I'm ready". Mako led you to Wu's room where Wu was pretending like he hadn't been excitedly practising his greeting the entire time. "Enter" Wu called in his most dignified serious voice as Mako knocked on the door. Wu was sat in a large chair and had obviously gone to a lot of effort to impress you with his royalness. "Y/n" Wu smiled brightly "it's most wonderful to meet you! Su gave you a glowing recommendation so I'm thrilled to have you as my guard". You smiled "Su is too kind but I promise you I will be a diligent bodyguard and will protect you with my life". Mako almost snorted to hear such a big statement come out of something so tiny but Wu seemed to like it. He nodded solemnly and bowed to you "thank you y/n...now come sit! Let's get to know one another!". You and Wu talked for the best part of two hours. Mako felt like his ears were going to fall off and he knew this wasn't going to work. So when he took you to meet Lin he asked her if he could speak with her privately. She refused, telling Mako she was too busy so anything he had to say would have to be said in front of the group. You looked at him curiously and Mako sighed but wasn't going to shrink away just because you were watching him. Meanwhile, you'd only been here 3 hours and already you weren't keen on Mako. He seemed cold, robotic and lifeless. You understood being professional at work but he just clearly didn't want to be here and didn't seem to care that the prince was your nation's best hope at restoring stability. So you weren't too fond of the man and then his next sentence consolidated your negative opinion of him. "Fine" Mako nodded "I don't think y/n is qualified to guard Wu". Your eyes nearly popped out of your head "excuse me, based on what? You've known me a few hours". "Yes and in that time you haven't shown any of the telltale signs of a good guard. You're loud, love talking and aren't much of a fighter. If she is placed as Wu's guard it won't be a help but a hindrance". Mako was honestly expecting you to burst into tears so when you started laughing he froze before looking to Lin "see?". "I'm laughing because you're an idiot. Creerse la última coca-cola en el desierto, el burro sabe mas que tu!". Mako blinked at your sudden language change but Lin smirked. "Pardon?" Mako asked and you smiled sweetly at him "I basically said you know nothing about me or anything in general. For instance do you know I'm the head guard of Zafou? Or that I speak 4 languages? Or that I was trained in metal and earth bending from Suyin herself?". Mako shook his head "I did not". You smiled "Also as for my loudness and love for talking have you ever worked as an agent? People skills and the ability to get people to like you can get you far, something I'm sure you know nothing about. Plus where I come from kindness goes a long way, you didn't even look at me when you shook my hand at the docks and you've been rude ever since. Have you ever thought it's not me whose inexperienced but you?". Mako blanked "what?". You sighed "should I say it in Spanish?" and you went to repeat yourself when Mako held up his hand "I heard what you said". Lin was chuckling slightly and Mako turned to her "are you going to let her speak to me like that?". Lin smiled "after the way you spoke to her I think you deserve it. Y/n has been a guard longer than you which you'd have known if you'd read her file. She's not just here to guard Wu, you could also learn a thing or two from her". You thought Mako's face was going to explode and resisted the urge to laugh. Lin looked at you and her lip quirked in a smirk "y/n why don't you head back to Wu, I'm going to have a word with Mako here...and if nobodies said it already welcome to Republic City. We're pleased to have you". You smiled and bowed "happy to be here chief" and walked from the room. You practically swanned back to the hotel still laughing at the shocked expression on Mako's face when you cursed him out in Spanish. When you reached the hotel room you dismissed the temporary guard and smiled at Wu "your majesty, how are you?". "I'm okay but a little stressed." You nodded "that's to be expected, your coronation is in a week". "I know and my outfit is all wrong, help me choose something different" he said going to his closet. You paused surprised but smiled "of course". Your job here was going to be different than what you'd expected. After you'd diverted the disaster Wu collapsed onto his large sofa with a sigh "being royalty is hard work". You nodded "I'm sure it is" and Wu sat up "but look at me going on, I'm sure you've had a much more tiring day, how's it been so far". "Good" you nodded trying not to think of Mako "the city is very beautiful". Wu nodded "it is isn't it...what about the people?". "Well so far the only people I've met are you, Mako, Tenzin, Jinora and Lin...and you're all very different". Wu chuckled "we are! What do you make of Mako?". You paused "he seems...strict". Wu snorted "that's an understatement". "Is he always like that?" you asked. Wu shrugged "Nah he's a big softie really, he's just got that resting fire nation face and hard exterior. He's a lot more likeable when that drops, trust me you'll be friends in no time. Like me and Mako!" Wu said happily and you nodded half-heartedly. There was probably a greater chance of Wu and Mako becoming best friends than you liking Mako. Or so you thought...how fate likes to screw people over.

So that’s part one! Hope you liked it @idkatpsworld​

So I’m obsessed with Kuvira now. Imagine you’re cast off but taken in by a woman who gives you everything as long as all you are becomes hers. Your talents, your achievements, your friends, your life. You’re a prodigy but without her you would be nothing. So you have everything but only as long as you’re grateful. Always grateful. So fucking grateful for everything you are. But people are hurting, people like you, orphans who never even got the chance to be grateful, and it makes you sick to know you’re all of this (brilliant, and strong, and privileged) but you can’t share it because none of it is yours—none of you is yours—to begin with. And you meet this beautiful boy who you’ve known since you were a child and he gets you—like more than anyone ever has he sees you, he makes you laugh. And he looks at you and understands what it’s like to always be grateful, which really means always be in debt. And you know you’ve never belonged anywhere, but you belong with him. And he wants to help people, too. So you run away together, to help people. It’s helping people at first—it’s not dictatorship. It’s not. And at first it’s just helping people—making things better—but to do that you need respect, you need an army, you need people who will back you and build for you and lend to you on nothing but your promises and charisma. And the crazy thing is: you do it. You get people to lend to you and build for you and fight for you. And one day you look around, standing side by side with this beautiful boy—this genius boy who has become a brilliant man, who you made a man, and you realize that everything you’re surrounded with is something you earned, you built, you made, you fought for, you took. And you realize you never ever have to be fucking grateful, never have to feel indebted, to Suyin Beifong ever again.

Wish they'd leant more into the Beifongs being nobles in tlok. Like in atla Toph was a runaway twelve-year-old, but the lok Beifongs are rather open with who they are.
Like think of the possiblities.
Lin, as the beifong backelorette getting marriage requests and just. Tossing them straight into the fire
Her getting invited to so many balls and shit and being mad about it.
Suyin being frowned upon because she married a man of lower status and her children being told that their blood is sullied and all that nice stuff
Dumb idea, nobility tried to get Opal and Wu engaged, but Su SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN. Also one of the reasons Su dislikes the Earth Queen
Su's kids having etiquette lessons and HATING THEM. They hated to be during the lessons and got upset and restless. Baatar Jr would just be thinking about where else he could be. Huan would be doodling and Opal would be reading under the desk. The twins would be wiggling in their seats.
And Kuvira would be confused and upset ugh. I can imagine the other noble kids in the Beifongs' circles would exclude her. The Beifong kid would be so mad about this but Kuvira would take it to heart.
And she sorta starts disliking the nobility. But like i feel like in her child head the Beifongs are sorta seperate from the nobilit and it's not until she's in her teens that she realises that the Beifongs are also part of the problem.
I can see Huan being super resentful of the title. He wants his art to be judged by its merit not by his own status. So he might like spread his art under an alias or smth maybe.
Opal becomes very against it when she starts air nomading. But I'm absolutely sure she used to be a bratty lil princess when she was younger
I imagine she sometimes uses her bratty noble attitude for missions and stuff. Think Toph during serpent's pass. She totally freaks out her fellow airbenders when she puts on the princess act the first time.
Baatar Jr is lukewarm about the title
The twins take it the most seriously though i imagine. Like upholding the family legacy and stuff. Wing is nice about it and stuff though. But Wei's snooty and uptight lol.
But I see it's because they're dealing with a lot of stress over it. And they're coping differently. Wing is trying to make as many friends as he can, because other than his family a lot of people around him are pretty fake. And Wei's just bitchy as a coping mechanism.
Ugh the earthbenders of the family knowing that the nobility around them are lying because seismic sense.... and Su being even more betrayed by Aiwei because he'd been the only 'genuine' person in ger surroundings.... UGHHSHWVWJKA
ugh Bolin, the child of a resident of Ba Sing Se's lower ring dating a member of a the upper crust.... (this is about bopal AND weilin)
Like Bolin is already super insecure and shit imagine all the stress. Could be one of the reasons he joined Kuvira. To prove himself ughhsbsjai
Toph running off into the swamp because she doesn't want to be a 'noble matron' and manage the family ugh.

It's Not Tenzin
Here’s my submission for day 7 of Lin Beifong’s Week. You can also find it on AO3.
Pairing: Lin Beifong x 😏
Rating: G
Art made by JadeLotus💚
Poppy and Lao's ceremonial annual Beifong reunion had been reinstated after decades. Ever since Lin waved a white flag on the family drama, it was meeting after meeting almost every month. Whether it was Suyin’s dance recital or Huan’s exhibition or the plethora of hobbies Wing pursued before its disastrous showcase, Lin was obligated to attend. But the breaking point was when the ticket vendor at the Republic City train station asked Lin if she wanted to buy a monthly pass to Zaofu. That was it. This family had been seeing each other a little too much our Chief was fed up.
And that’s how the annual Beifong reunion came about. Once a year, at a predetermined location, the entire Beifong clan would gather, exchange pleasantries, and well, unpleasantries, and most importantly, were exempt from the remainder of the clan’s activities. "For the rest of the year, voluntary participation only," Zaofu's matriarch had said.
At nineteen years old, Lin couldn’t care less about Suyin’s rampant gossip sessions, but at fifty-eight years old, Lin realized she could care even less about the same.
After a riveting game of power disc in the morning, followed by tea and snacks courtesy of Suyin’s fantastic chef, Lin found herself feeling fresh and rejuvenated. For the first time, she wasn’t counting minutes until she could be back in Republic City.
Little did she know that feeling would be wildly short lived.
Toph and Suyin, amidst conversation, took their seats beside Lin. Su giggled at something her mother said, forcing Lin to repress the grunt that her sister’s shrill voice induced.
“You’ve hated that sound ever since you were six years old,” Toph began.
Lin raised an eyebrow.
“That’s because I was born when she was six years old,” Suyin said, giggling again.
“And you say I remember nothing of your childhoods,” Toph remarked.
Lin didn’t want to engage. Rewinding Beifong memories had always been a risky move- and Lin didn’t intend on drowning after all these years.
 “Anyway,” Suyin said, as if reading Lin’s mind, “I was just telling mom about why Bataar’s new interest in—”
“Mmmm, didn’t you tell me all about that last night?” Lin tried cutting her off. 
“Oh no,” Su smirked. “This was something that happened last night. You see, it all started because Bataar was missing me in bed since I was with—”
“Suyin, you’re my daughter and I tolerate you in that capacity, but I cannot listen to your sexcapades with that tendril of a man any more than once a day. You already ruined breakfast.”
Lin had never been more thankful for her mother’s quippy interruptions.
Unfortunately, that too would be short lived.
“However,” the blind woman continued, “Zuko was asking me about you, Lin and your sexual life.”
Lin almost choked on her tongue.
“Her sex life?” Suyin echoed, appalled.
“Romantic life. Same thing,” Toph said with a shrug.
“I hope you let him know that there’s nothing to know,” Lin replied with a frown.
“Oh, I would have,” Toph said with a chuckle, “but you see, I don’t lie.”
Lin gawked at her mother. Suyin nodded from side to side, quickly trying to study the expressions on the women’s faces. There was something she didn’t know and that was plain wrong. Suyin had to be in the know about everything and everyone’s business. This was utterly unacceptable and in her own home no less. But as if reading her daughter’s mind- if she could ever read anything- Toph pulled out a dilapidated piece of paper from her pocket. Handing it over to her youngest, she said, “Well then, explain this.”
Suyin gazed at the letter. Her eyes would’ve fallen out of their socket at the sight of a gossip so juicy- something she couldn’t have imagined in her wildest dreams.
“I recognize the handwriting!” she gasped.
Lin moved closer to her sister, face painted with concern over an ambiguous letter, sole anxiety and no heart pumping blood through her veins.
“What is—”
Suyin gasped louder. “Lin! Are you having an affair with Tenzin?!”
“No!” she exclaimed, snatching the letter. Her eyes followed the scripture unorderly. Where was this letter from? Why was it in her belongings? How did her mother, of all people, find it? But most importantly, the penman and contents of this letter rattled her as her vision glazed through it quickly. Realization struck like lightning, forcing her to bite her bottom lip with fear. 
“Who else would call you their beloved and use hackneyed words like ‘I love you more than anything, why won’t you believe me’ or—”
“It’s not Tenzin!” Lin reiterated through gritted teeth. “Where did you find this letter?” she glared at Toph and slammed the paper on the table, visibly harrowed by its contents.
“More importantly, who is so in love with our Chief Crankypants?” Suyin asked.
Lin slapped her forehead when Toph burst out laughing. Suyin sneakily grabbed the letter and opened it back up to find the answer to her own question.
Tumblr media
“So, who is it?” Toph asked.
Suyin couldn’t help but hold in her smile as she read through its entirety. Lin didn’t even bother interrupting her as she covered her face with embarrassment.
“Lin,” she said softly, “this is probably the sweetest, most tender love letter I have ever read. But it doesn’t say who it is. They’ve signed their name as ‘your smarter half’ and if that isn’t Tenzin—”
“It's NOT Tenzin!” her voice resounded the room.
“Who’s not Tenzin?”
The Beifong ladies looked up at the sound of the new voice. It was Asami, and behind her, came General Iroh, Avatar Korra and Detective Mako. Now that Bolin had become a Beifong, this had become an extended family reunion.
Lin groaned.
“My sister’s mystery man,” Suyin said with a giggle.
“Mystery man and Lin Beifong!” Korra cooed, bending a gust of wind underneath to prop herself close to the table.
“Korra, please.” Lin grumbled.
“Yes, Korra. Please!” Toph offered jauntily, encouraging the Avatar.
“Where did you find this letter?” she asked again, in a sterner tone.
“I found it hidden in a pillowcase in your bedroom.”
“My bedroom?” Lin asked, wondering if the room in Suyin’s house qualified as ‘her’ bedroom.
“Your old bedroom back at the Beifong mansion in Republic City, obviously.”
Lin rolled her eyes, and Toph didn’t miss it. “Evidently, I couldn’t read it when I found it so I brought it here for someone to read it out to me! Just be grateful I took it to Suyin first.”
As Lin narrowed her eyes, trying to decipher what her mother meant, Korra read the letter out loud to the group to catch them up with its contents.
“Chief!” Mako cackled. “I didn’t realize you liked your men sappy!”
“I mean, she did date Tenzin.” Bolin added.
“IT’S NOT TENZIN!” came the loud response, causing Bolin to convulse in his spot.
“Who is it then, Chief?” Korra laughed.
Lin glanced through the room with apprehension. When her eyes met Asami’s she relaxed and gave her a meek smile.
“Let me start here- when Tenzin was away visiting the air temples with his father, we weren’t exactly together,” Lin entwined her fingers together, thinking on how to proceed. Being caught totally unawares by this letter into a nook of her past made it difficult to relay. “So, at the time I was seeing someone from school. We had a bit of an on-again-off-again relationship and—”
“Gosh, Lin! Who is it?” Suyin cried with excitement.
Lin brought one hand up to silence her and continued, “Asami, before your father met Yasuko, he and I were... Well,” she shrugged. “But believe me, your mother was the love of his life. He told me so himself.”
Tears would've broken through Asami’s eyes at the mention of her father but thankfully she was smiling. Although she deeply missed him, she discovered happiness in the idea of connecting with someone else with whom she could reminisce about her father's memories.
“I’m sorry, Asami,” Lin said. “Your father was a wonderful man.”
“This took a weird turn,” Toph mumbled.
“Mom!” Su nudged her mother.
“He made his mistakes but, there was so much good in that man.”
Iroh was now gently rubbing Asami’s back as she nodded along.
“And Su,” she said, turning to her sister, “you recognize the handwriting because I saved all of Hiroshi’s notes from school for you. He was a brilliant student and I wanted that for you. Whatever little you did end up studying were all his brush strokes.” 
Suyin smiled and squeezed her sister's arm affectionately. Korra placed the letter back in front of Lin and gave her a smile too.
“It’s good to remember the dead,” the Avatar said. “Grief is the expression of love in the face of loss; as we shed tears for what is gone, it's equally important to commemorate the love that once was..”
“I miss the less spiritual Korra,” Toph scoffed.
Asami chuckled out loud though. "Yes, Korra, that's right. If you're ever up for it, Chief, I would love to learn more about your time with dad during his school days."
"You can come talk to me anytime," she smiled.
As if to annihilate the saccharine fest in the room, Toph groaned. "I was hoping this would've been a scandalous letter from your mafia boyfriend from back in the day." Everyone gasped, as the blind woman continued, “Because I already told Zuko about your reunion with that firebending menace." 
"What—”
Lin cheeks were pinker than a dragon bird spirit. 
"That's why I brought this letter to you first," she said, turning towards Suyin. "You don't want this letter getting in her current boyfriend's hands. I hear he's the jealous type."
Now all Vaatu broke lose and getting the name out of Lin’s lips. She couldn't be in Republic City soon enough.

I would like to ask several questions regarding Taang, which would be much appreciated.
First, what would be the headcanon for the Dunebabies once all of them reach adulthood?
Second, what would be the headcanon for each member of the family (Toph and the Dunebabies) in regard to their interaction with the new Avatar?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Anon, thank you for the ask! It’s been a while since I’ve thought about my Taang headcanons, so hopefully these will be suitable haha!
For context, my Dunebabies are Lin, Gyatso, Suyin, and Kenji. Boys are airbenders, girls are earthbenders.
Okie dokie! Let’s get into the question.
I haven’t really thought too much about the Dunebabies as adults. My favorite parts of ATLA to explore are the mysterious years between ATLA and LOK when the Gaang are in their prime. Still, it’s hard not to think about the next gen becoming adults, starting their own families, etc.!
For Lin, I typically have her becoming the Chief of Police for Republic City. It’s an emotional day for the Beifongs, but Toph and Aang are very proud of all of Lin’s accomplishments. Not sure about who she’d end up with, but I imagine that she’s in a happy relationship, perhaps with a kiddo or two 0-0. Lin’s got a more lighthearted personality than in the show, but she’s still relatively stoic. Aang jokes that she gets it from the monks lol.
For Gyatso, he really falls into the role of being the airbending master after Aang. He manages the Air Temples, works closely with the Air Acolytes, and is a free spirit that’s flying around all the time. I’d imagine it would take him the longest to settle down with anyone, but it’s a possibility! He’s an absolute sweetie so he’s a catch <3
For Suyin, I see her being this adventurous, city building matriarch. Not sure I headcanon that she’s with Baatar, but never say never with my AU LOL. She definitely gets started on having a family the earliest, from the start she wanted a big, loud, rambunctious family (kind of like the one she grew up with). She loves bossing people around and being a leader/trailblazer, so I think establishing Zhaofu is a great career for her haha!
For Kenji, he’s a bit of a mystery for me. Very similar to his parents, he has trouble staying in one place for long. But since he leans more into his Earth Kingdom heritage/earthbending tendencies more than the Air Nation/airbending tendencies, I think he tries to fight the thought of being this figurehead for rebuilding the Air Nation. He wants to create his own path, and so for a while, he’s out there trying to compete in pro bending tournaments, Earth Rumble events, creating new fighting techniques and all that. Kenji is very close with Toph, so I think he’d turn to her for help/advice, and when Aang dies, he’s always returning home to check in on Toph. Like Gyatso, he wouldn’t settle down quickly, but I can see it happening if he finds the right person!
Tbh, I think all the Beifong kiddos could have their own families, especially because they grew up in a very close family.
When it comes to meeting the new Avatar, I think they all spend a few moments with the Avatar Korra, but they find it so strange because they see/notice bits and pieces of Aang in this little kid. They still miss their dad so much, so noticing these details makes them a little emotional. But, they’re glad that Aang’s spirit lives on in Korra, and they want to honor him by doing what they can to make sure she gets the proper training and is ready to take on the role and responsibility.
Toph knows this is the new Avatar because she can feel all the similarities, particularly with her heartbeat. I think if Toph was emotionally available/able to help with the Avatar search, she would've found Korra pretty quickly just based on the heartbeat.
It's a bittersweet feeling for Toph, and she takes some time to come to terms with it because she misses him so much, but I think when the time came, she would find Korra and train her in earthbending. Partly because she wants to, and partly because she knows it's what Aang would've wanted.
Plus, she'd get to yell at Twinkle Toes again, and she never minds doing that haha!
Okay! I think that's all I got for these questions. Thanks again for the ask, Anon! If I missed anything, feel free to stop by with some more questions. Hope you have a great day :D
......
Send me asks about ATLA, LOK, or anything, really! :D

What compels you about Baatar Jr.?
Oh goodness, I do love talking about why I like him I cannot lie! (foreshadowing for the length of this, I come back to ominously warn retrospectively..)
Honestly even back when the show was initially airing, he was a character I always liked. Being big into anime in middle and high school I was 100% a "megane man" enjoyer lol which is just to glasses men XD (they get a special genre title because they are apparently very popular in Japanese anime communities which honestly, based) so that was the first thing (not to mention he's voiced by Todd Haberkorn who I knew from anime dubs since he's in so many).
But okay so what I find compelling about Baatar. I think he had such potential to be a very interesting character and one that could have been really put to use in the story. He had such interesting groundwork to me, especially in tandem with Kuvira. You can always trust me to stan the troubled eldest sibling lol, in Baatar's particular case I call it "eldest sibling inferiority complex" (idk if anyone has coined that phrase but I'm claiming it until proven otherwise) but it's something I relate to a lot. Baatar being the first "heir" essentially of the metal bending capitol of the world, founded by the metal bending daughter of the inventor of metal bending itself Toph Beifong, and he isn't a bender in any regard is something I think about way too much, I don't care whatever way you slice it I know that must have SUCKED for him because he was just.. inherently kind of a disappointment? Like he came into the world with the "Oh, shame he isn't a bender." tagline on his life. And then the brother he gets soon after IS a metal bender which I can imagine practically felt like an instant replacement because he wasn't "enough". Ofc that may not have been why Su and Sr. had Huan but I can see Baatar feeling that way. Then the twins ofc have metal bending and Opal later on gets air bending and he's just pushed further and further into irrelevance in the family. Like history will always talk about the Beifong family, the inventors and masters of metal bending, Suyin's younger sons all being prodigies in their own right, her daughter later being blessed with air bending, but what would ever be said about Baatar? He was just "the one who was a non-bender". I thought so so much about how being in a position like that would feel. And even the framing of the writing of the show itself always felt so dismissive of him. When Su is introducing all her kids he gets the least mention, no one ever says his name even, he only has 3 scenes in the entirety of season 3 and only in 1 is he even animated. It just always felt rather sad to me, he really was in line to just become the Beifong family's forgotten son.
I've talked about how I wish something had been said with Baatar and Huan and how starkly contrasting they are. Baatar feels trapped in his father's shadow with nothing of his own, not his own name, nothing of his own to leave an impact with and just quietly relegating himself to the background, meanwhile Huan is so obsessed with his self expression and individuality. I can imagine Huan seeing Baatar and how miserable he was when they were younger and not wanting to end up like that so he takes a hard turn into the opposite direction.
I really think Baatar was the perfect character to bring back the discussion of disparity between benders and non-benders, from a villain standpoint of course, because he is a character who- even from his seat of clear privilege, still has to deal with the effects of it. Like the world of Avatar really is for benders and non-benders are just allowed to live in it. I don't think Baatar actually wants bending, I actually think quite the opposite. I think he just doesn't want to be seen as lesser than for not having it, and prove that he doesn't need it in his life. That's why I love the setup of his relationship with Kuvira so much. I genuinely think the two of them were accidentally written and created so perfect for each other and the writers just.. did it by sheer accident and didn't even notice and thus squandered them completely. They give each other exactly what the other needs. Kuvira wants acceptance and to feel genuinely wanted which Baatar gives her, and Baatar wants recognition and to feel appreciated for who he is and that's what Kuvira gives him. She is one of the most skilled metal benders in the world but grew up in a family that didn't want her or care about her (ignoring Ruins entirely, Ruins of the Empire my beloathed), and Baatar grew up in one of the richest families in the world, the family whose whole identity is metal-bending, born into the lap of luxury but was still written off somewhat because he was a non-bender and thus the family legacy really didn't have anything to do with him. And when Su takes Kuvira under her wing they're both living in what is considered a "utopia" but are both still unhappy because they always feel "outside" of it, and they are able to relate to each other in that way and validate each others' feelings. Having Kuvira choose him- someone considered very remarkable choosing someone most consider very unremarkable, and him being the first person to ever genuinely truly want her and all of her is my Roman Empire, it is the hill I will die on. Like idk how the LoK writers had all that literally right in front of them and chose to do nothing with it, it bothers me so much lol.
Baatar descending (ascending truly in my opinion lol) into his villain era when he is finally away from home because he is reacting out of spite, paranoia, and existential dread because this is his chance to be known for something in his own right and not for anything to do with his family and slowly becoming the instrument of his own destruction is my bread and butter, I love it so much. I hate the fanon that he left Zaofu only to pad after Kuvira, I truly think he saw his one chance to leave with someone he cares about and financial stability and took it. I don't think he's very altruistic, like if I'm being frank I don't think he gives a hoot or a holler about the Empire itself LOL like he is absolutely here to support Kuvira and help her achieve her goals but to him the Empire is just something he can cultivate to facilitate himself and his needs. It's more of a symbiotic relationship to him where he'll always prioritize himself but will do what he needs to to keep the host happy. I do think that when he initially left he DID have good intentions they just were also very self serving, and then as time went on he leaned further and further into the self serving and see's himself as "doing the right thing for them because it is the right thing for me so no one can get mad :)" lol like yes darling, you are the moment, give us everything and nothing. I love love love the thought of him really leaning into the fame and attention because he's actually getting recognition, people are interested in what he's doing, he has the facilities to work on things he wants to work on, and can really just do as he pleases. One thing you will not see me do is say that he was trying his best for the Empire's sake the whole time lol like the man truly was out here in his Applause by Lady Gaga era. The idea that he does in fact do good for the people but for selfish reasons is just so funny to me. He's like "Do you think I'm out here bringing running water and irrigation to rural towns out of the goodness of my heart? No bitch, I'm just not about to get giardia in the name of freedom." LMAOO like yeah he is a little bit wretched but I'm still stanning, I'm still streaming, my shower is working so I have to thank him. Like I do genuinely find the idea of "guy who is doing good things for selfish reasons but is still doing good things regardless" very interesting to think about. Like what does it matter where his heart is at if he's still doing humanitarian work because it provides him in return with accolades and material wealth lmao. In his case though I can see him melting a bit when he sees the good impact his work can have but he has to keep up his big sassy bitch face bc he has a reputation to maintain.
Also withing the Empire era, that is like my peak Baatar contemplation era because wow it was so rife with potential for him. A non-bender being second in command of what was probably the biggest military force in the world at the time must have been an insane line for him to walk. Because all his authority is superficial. Because Kuvira gave it to him and for almost no other reason. No matter what he does, he will always be weaker than the weakest bender inherently, but he still has to command respect because everyone KNOWS THAT. Him walking through their camps he literally has his life on the line at every second because anyone could just decide to kill him at any moment for no reason and there's nothing he could do to defend himself. So he has to be smart, he has to be scary, he has to be mean, he has to be intimidating because if he doesn't he has nothing else to shield himself with. He can't let his anxiety over it show either because every bender would be able to hear it through the ground. The idea of Baatar having genuine anxiety regarding benders all his life is something that is so important to me. Even in his own home, his heart rate couldn't be something that was private. I love to hc that he quickly learned to become an Azula tier liar like you could never catch him lying because he needed to learn how otherwise his own emotions couldn't even be private. Aiwei could never catch this man and he hated it so much lol Baatar loved every second of it. He would just say lies to Aiwei's face and they both would know he was lying but Aiwei couldn't ever really know and it made him so mad.
I really do think a lot of what Baatar does comes from a place of genuine hurt, and wanting to feel like he has some form of control in his life and he expresses it through anger because his anger is the only power he feels like he has but he lets it eat away at him until he just has this void in him that will never be satisfied. He wants his family to understand how he feels, why he feels so hurt, and for them to acknowledge it, but he needs them to realize it themselves without him saying it because if he has to tell them then it must not be real. Plus how could they understand when they're free of the experience that makes him feel this way. They'll never know that feeling of being a disappointment on arrival. Opal did, but she's beyond it all now. Thinking about his relationship with his father, I think he actually loves his father so much, he was a daddy's boy from day one and still is, he wants his father to feel similarly as himself, not the anger but just acknowledge that "yes, the world really does revolve around benders, and it's okay that you feel scared and unnerved by that reality, there's nothing wrong with your feelings it's okay for you to have them" but his father doesn't feel that way and Baatar takes it as almost a kind of betrayal. In his mind he needs that shared experience because it tells him that if someone else feels like this then his feelings are real and he isn't just making shit up, he can feel that way even if he never acts on it, just knowing someone else feels the same. He doesn't go about it in a healthy way at all and I am by no means defending his actions or blaming his family for everything bad that he's done, you'll never catch me doing that, Baatar 100% engineers his own downfall by choosing to feed into his anger for catharsis. The fact that he did everything he ever did because he didn't want to be forgotten by history, only to get his wish, he'll indeed be remembered forever, but remembered as the engineer of monstrosities is the perfect poetic irony to me and his most perfect kind of villain arc in my eyes. He is so consumed by his anger and paranoia. His fear of being forgotten by time because to him being forgotten means there was never any point to his existence to begin with.
Also okay yes let us briefly discuss my buff Baatar lol I do have reason for it I swear! So okay yes, I do that for me because I love big beefy glasses men okay, sue me, i am indeed an animal in that way. But also I do think it just kinda makes sense for him??? Like he is someone with some clear anger issues and exercise is in fact a very good way to relieve anger and stress. I think it's funny that he just gave that a try because he needed to vent his anger on something and it became his primary anger management and now he's just massive lol but also this is also him making a statement of like "I can take my body even this far but I'd still always be at an inherent disadvantage", he'd have a lot of reasons for doing it- his own vanity, his self-esteem of always feeling unimpressive or unremarkable, wanting to feel like he could in even the smallest way be something of a protective force for Kuvira. Plus him having the kangaroo effect on people between seasons 3 and 4 is so funny, where when people think about kangaroos they're like "aaw cute lill hoppy fellas c:"(season 3) and then they actually see a kangaroo and are like "bitch what the fuck is that"(season 4) lmao like have you seen how jacked kangaroos actually are? Everyone is like "Yeah we know what Baatar looks like" and then they see him for the first time in season 4 and are like "Who the fuck is that?" LMAOO Also yeah he just looks nice that way to me.
God I just scrolled up this to see where I was at and this ended up way longer than I intended alksjdf I'll stop myself here I'm so sorry, I just truly cannot Shut Up about this man. He genuinely means so much to me. For so long I didn't talk about liking him or did any art of him because in the early days of the fandom and even relatively recently, the hate for him was so... vitriolic and cruel it genuinely made me so uncomfortable. I'd see rare pieces of fanart of him and the comments would always have people expressing their hate for him in them, I've even gotten comments like that on my own art. It really has always baffled me tbh, even the writers and Bryan himself are not shy about talking about their hate for him, one of the s4 episode writers called him "the worst character in the entire franchise" and it just hurts my heart so much. Like they wrote him already down and just continue kicking him while he's there like they weren't the ones who put him there. In that way Baatar's spite and anger feels almost all encompassing as corny as that sounds. I just love angry sad men and Baatar is the angriest saddest man of my heart haha if he has no fans I am dead. I really cannot express how much it means to me to hear that people have become to like him more because of my portrayal of him, I've even had people who used to hate him tell me they love him now because of me and I truly could cry about it, I really could.

Ok but imagine the Gaang getting transported to Republic City as teens and meeting their rather young children
Thanks for the ask!
Okay but I love this!
Instead of getting transported to Korra’s time, like most fics do, they go to when their kids are teens/young adults.
I’m not 100% sure on the ages of everyone but I think the order is Bumi, Izumi, Kya, Tenzin, Lin and Suyin.
It would be hilarious! Because not only are the six young enough to hang out with their teenage parents but their parents are still in the picture. So it’s half the Gaang hanging out with their future kids and half them talking to their future selves.
——
20 year old Izumi shows her 16 year old father around Republic City. She’d show off how much good he did and how it paid off then they’d go to a Fire Nation restaurant.
Zuko: You said current me was coming?
Izumi: Yup. Oh! There you are! Dad!
[ Zuko’s jaw drops as a giant dragon lands on the ground. ]
Zuko: I love the future.
——
Katara and Aang spending time with 20 year old Bumi, 15 year old Kya and 12 year old Tenzin. Kya isn’t a waterbending master yet so she loves seeing her mother show off her bending and she and Tenzin love hearing their father’s stories. Bumi would be a little harder to place in how he feels but he’d be down for anything.
They also show Katara and Sokka the Southern Water Tribe culture museum.
——
Suki is tasked with making sure Toph doesn’t commit any crimes with her 12 and 8 year old daughters. Lin is one for the rules which she keeps reminding Toph about.
Toph: How are you my daughter?
Suki: Finally! There’s a Beifong who understands you can’t break the law!
Suyin is ready to commit whatever crimes her mother has planned.
Adult Toph: Suyin has enough trouble with authority. Please don’t encourage her.
Toph: How do I turn into you?
Adult Toph: I’m not going to lie to you…you should blame Sparky and Twinkle Toes.
Toph: Noted.
——
Then you could get into more sensitive stuff since the six probably feel more at ease about revealing personal stuff to people their own age (or around their age). Bumi accidentally lets it slip that he and Kya didn’t get to go with Tenzin and Aang on any trips and the mood just goes quiet. Then Kya adds to it (after being asked) and Lin adds to that.
Katara: Are we bad parents?

ooh, i’ve got one!
wu and mako’s relationship with opal? aka their coolest in-law lol
OOOhhhhh Okay so I think Mako and Opal have a very. Just normal relationship. Like very typical brother-in-law sister-in-law stuff. Once Opal and Bolin start having kids, Mako's around a lot helping, so I think maybe that's part of how they get closer? They probably have some laughs over how ridiculous their spouses are.
Opal and Wu both come from more affluent backgrounds. and they both fall in love with these orphan chaos brothers. I imagine they bond a lot over that. I also think Wu gets low key adopted by Suyin so he gets close to all the Beifongs so Opal and Wu get this very like, sibling-esque relationship going on. I think they bond a lot over fine dining. Wu clearly has feelings about upscale food and Opal grew up with a personal chef so they're both very much like, comfortable with fine dining. They probably go to fancy restaurants and wine tastings together all the time.

Heyo, Lady Oscar! I'm excited to see what you have to share! I'll do a separate ask for each character (six in total), to keep things simple.
So for this first ask... well, I have to start with Kuvira, of course~
Okay! Let’s do the thing starting with my main girl, Kuvira. *cracks knuckles*
Tumblr media
1. Sexuality headcanon 
I've been headcanoning Kuvira as bisexual since I began writing fanfics about her. I personally don't see Baatar Jr. as a beard in their relationship because she seemed to sincerely care about him in canon (until she didn't, lol!) I also don't buy the comphet argument because IMHO, it doesn't fit her personality. I think she's demiromantic, and specifically with Asami and Baatar Jr. I can see her as sapiosexual. She surrounded herself with three intelligent people in the likes of Baatar Jr, Varrick and Zhu Li (and a token himbo, Bolin) on her inner circle so I believe she has a thing for intelligence. Fandom usually headcanons her as a top or dom but I see her more of a switch, especially with Asami and Korra, and between them it's pretty much an endless battle for dominance in the bedroom. 😏
I also lowkey ship her with Mako who I also headcanon as bi so it’s a Bi4Bi scenario, and in this case she’s more of a top because I do agree with the headcanon that Mako is more of a bottom. Fun fact: her voice actress Zelda Williams is bi, as it is Janet Varney, Korra’s VA.  
2. OTP
Oooh, this is a tough one because although OTP stands for “One True Pairing” I ship her pretty much equally with both Asami and Korra. With Korra, I indulge in the angsty, dramatic side of things. They have so many parallels that are ingrained in canon that it makes for an interesting exercise to explore the ways they resemble each other and in the ways their differences serve to complement and balance each other. It’s basically a lot of “the sunshine who can kill you and the badass who can kill you” relationship meme with these two. 🤣
Tumblr media
With Asami I play on “what if” canon divergence scenarios which make for more lighthearted and flirty situations. They make for such an amazing power couple that is just too darned good. Plus their sexual chemistry is off the roof, a “can’t keep their hands off each other” kind of chemistry that's way too much fun. 😉
3. BROTP
Although he's the romantic interest in canon, I headcanon Junior as more of a second in command/partner in crime than as significant other material and they’re very much BROTP in my stories. Jinora is my other candidate as BROTP for Kuvira in a Republic City setting because Kuvira is a jock/dancer/soldier who is also cunning, smart, and well versed in strategy,  so I can see her bonding with Jinora over books and history. And of course, my beloved Lin Beifong and Kuvira would bond by swapping stories and gossip about Suyin, and boy I bet they both have a lot to talk about Su. I think they would realize they have more in common than they think since they’re both the type to bottle up their emotions and to put their work before everything else, and they both wanted to impress their maternal figures. Lin would be an excellent mentor and friend for Kuvira, since Lin won't take crap from anyone so shr would keep Kuvira in the straight and narrow with her no nonsense attitude.
4. NOTP
I basically don’t ship her with any of the Beifongs but the big NOTP for me is Suyin. I just can’t shake the mentor/protege relationship off my mind to see them even remotely romantic. From an objective standpoint, I can see the appeal with all their drama but it's a big nope for me.
5. First headcanon that pops into my head?
She’s a sleepwalker. Her childhood trauma manifested in sleepwalking which was pretty severe during her first years with the Beifongs but she grew out if it gradually as she grew up. Following the events of Book 4 and Ruins of the Empire which ends with her in house arrest, her sleepwalking came back but not as bad as when she was a child, which it’s fortunate because I can’t imagine the mess she would leave behind while bending in her sleep. 😱
6: favorite line from this character 
"I owe the Avatar my life. Her power is beyond anything I could ever hope to achieve. I'll accept  whatever punishment the world sees fit”. 
This is from The Last Stand. Although the entire scene with Korra and Kuvira in the Spirit World is amazing since we get to witness Kuvira’s emotional breakdown, it's in her surrender that we see what we can consider the beginning of her path toward redemption, meaning that her story is not over yet. 
7. One way in which I relate to this character 
We're both familiarized with military service and the concept of discipline and service to the nation since I also served. I also relate in the need to prove ourselves, something that is evident in the way she ends up emulating her mentor Suyin and in having strained relationships with siblings, like the one she had with Opal. Come to think of it, having strained relationships with siblings seems like a very Beifong thing to do. 🤔
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
The whole having her foster brother end up as her fiancee thing is kinda weird so I totally get Opal when she was all weirded out with the news of their engagement.
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
Both! 🤣

maybe this is too niche but I can imagine Suyin having Selena Meyers vibes... literally all the Beifongs curse like sailors you cannot convince me otherwise

Mako x Female Reader Request: Part Three
The coronation is finally here but Mako gets distracted by something...your relationship with the Beifong twins
Part One Here
Part Two Here
Part Four Here
Mako didn't love to admit it, but things were a lot better now with you around. You stuck to your word and were a lot more civil towards him. You greeted him when he entered the room and both discussed Wu's upcoming schedule. It helped the two of you work out if there would be any threats or concerns and also made you work better as a team. Not just that but you seemed to actually be getting along now too. Mako had found out a few things about you, now you two actually talked instead of glaring at one another and he found you pretty cool! Mako found he could rely on you a lot more and that meant he had more free time for special occasions like when the Avatar was finally returning to Republic City after 3 long years! He left Wu in your capable hands and headed to the docks to see Korra. 
You were playing pai sho with Wu when Mako stormed in seeming agitated. His expression was always blank and firm but you could tell something was up. "What happened?" you asked and he glanced over at you. You were ready for some snarky comment and the idea did seem to flash through Mako's mind before he thought better of it. His shoulders relaxed slightly and he looked down "Korra wasn't on the boat, her father thought she'd been here for months". Your eyes widened "he has no idea where she is?". "No" Mako said but it came out harsher than he meant it and you turned away. Mako cursed himself and carried on "no he doesn't...he's really worried". You nodded "I can understand, I'm sure you're all concerned". He shrugged and the clock struck indicating it was the end of your shift. You gathered your things and made your way to the door before glancing at Mako awkwardly. Wu had gone to bed so it was just the two of you. "I'll be leaving now but wake me if you need me to guard Wu". Mako nodded "got it" and continued reading his book. You walked to the door before pausing and with a sigh you turned back. "I'm sorry about your friend, if there's anything I can do to tell let me know". Then before Mako could react you rushed from the room. Mako stared after you in shock utterly confused why you'd offer to help him when you didn't like him. Sure things had gotten better between the two of you but that was work, he didn't think in your personal opinion of him had changed much. Then again his opinion of you had completely changed...maybe yours could do the same? Asami's words came back to him and he pushed the idea from his head, nervous at how it made him feel. Despite the Avatar's absence preparation for the coronation got closer and closer with people flooding in from every corner of the four nations. Lin warned you and Mako this would be the time when something would happen if Kuvira had planned it. The only good thing about all the stress brought by the coronation for Mako was finally getting to see Bolin for the first time in months. Of course he would never say it aloud but he felt forgotten by his little brother, especially with him writing less and less. Beifong liked Mako and you to work at the same time now the coronation was so close but she'd given you both some time off (an hour precisely) to spend with your families. Mako hadn't even thought about your family until he saw you with the Beifongs. Mako and Wu were heading to one final spa treatment before the big day when Wu paused "is that y/n?". Mako turned and spotted you sandwiched between all the Beifongs. From the looks of it, they'd made it 2 feet inside the hotel's doors when they'd seen you and all swarmed. As Mako watched he saw Suyin hug you before nearly being trampled as her twin sons rushed to you. Even Huan seemed happy to see you and gave you a small hug. You looked so carefree and happy with them Mako noted. With the Beifongs you were practically glowing and you looked so happy and loved. Each and every one of them seemed to adore you. Wu smiled "those Beifong twins were always good looking but they're even better than the last I saw them, are they dating y/n?". Mako paused "what?". "The twins, can't you see the way they can't take their eyes off her? There's totally something going on there". Mako paused and focused on the youngest beifong men. He recalled Bolin saying how the two were always a hit with women and he could see how that might be true. Then Mako was distracted when someone punched him in the shoulder. "Bolin!" you heard someone cry and turned to see Mako doing an awkward/adorable mock boxing greeting with his brother. It was the most playful you'd ever seen Mako and when he closed his eyes when he hugged his brother you did find it very sweet. Mako clearly adored his little brother and the feeling seemed mutual. You'd always figured they were polar opposites of one another, Bolin being kind and friendly with Mako being stiff and cold but now watching them you realised they were similar and just expressed themselves differently. While Bolin was very emotional and swept his arms about as he spoke Mako was simply more controlled but nonetheless enthusiastic. You were momentarily caught off guard and didn't realise you were staring until Wei followed your gaze "what are you looking at, ow him". Wei figured you had noticed Bolin, not Mako. Suyin turned and made the same deduction. "Wei, Bolin is still a friend of the family no matter who he works for". Wei went to argue back when Bolin interrupted finally spotting you across the hall. "Hey the Beifongs are here!" Bolin suddenly said and before Mako could say anything Bolin called "Hey Suyin! Bataar!". Bolin bounded over to them leaving Mako to awkwardly follow. Mako saw your eyes go to him briefly before looking back at Bolin. Things were a little awkward all things considered between Bolin and the Beifongs and Opal not being here didn't help. Mako watched as his brother put his foot in it mixing up the twins and was holding in a sigh when you stepped in. "Don't worry I mix them up all the time, the way I see it Wing is the one with the bigger nose and Wei is the one with the wonky biceps". The twins immediately began to argue with you playfully and Mako paused to see one of them fling an arm around your shoulders. "You used to love my biceps" Wing cried and you rolled your eyes "in your dreams, No saber ni papa de algo". Mako had no idea what you’d said but from the Beifong’s response it was an insult and that made him smile. However Mako could see you were flushed and Wu's words from earlier came rushing back into his mind. He surveyed the twins and realised they were pretty good looking and with a name like Beifong as their surname they'd surely be irresistible to anyone. Mako watched you bicker/flirt with the duo and suddenly felt a little annoyed. He wasn't sure why but he didn't find the twins as wonderful as you clearly did. He was about to tell Wu they should head off when the prince pushed in front of him and started greeting Suyin and the others. Mako kept an eye on him when he saw Bolin make his way over to you and give you a big hug. You of course started chatting rapidly and Mako stood nearby awkwardly. You noticed him and brought him into the conversation "it's one hell of a brother you've got here though" and Bolin turned to see Mako. "Yeah I couldn't believe it when I heard the two of you were working together, what are the odds? How's it been?". You looked at Mako and then chuckled "it hasn't been the easiest but I think we've developed a system now". Mako nodded "we've got a good routine and honestly I'm glad for the help". You were stunned to hear Mako admit that when you froze "Mako..." and gestured over his shoulder. Mako turned to see Wu introducing himself to KUVIRA of all people! He rushed to his side and you did the same standing on the other. Kuvira looked at you both and smiled "nice to see you again y/n...". Mako saw your whole body tense and he realised the glares you sent him were nothing compared to this. You sighed and muttered “Mierda” under your breath before looking up with a fake smile. "Kuvira" you said sweetly "so glad to see you here at Wu's coronation. It's going to be great when you hand him over your title". The girl's eyebrow twitched every so slightly which surprised Mako. He'd heard Kuvira was unflappable but then again childhood friends were the best way to touch a nerve and Mako was kinda proud you could do that to the great uniter. "Yes...as much as I'd love to stay and chat with you I have work to do" and she left. “Tonto del culo” you complained and Mako nodded “I agree” making you smile. "I think she's pretty" Wu commented and you and Mako shared a disgusted look before smirking. Then Wu gasped "Mako my reservation!". "Of course" Mako said, a smirk still lingering on his face he started heading to the door when he noted you were following. "Is it not your hour off?" he asked and you nodded "it is but now Kuvira is here I think we need all hands on deck". Mako went to respond when one of the twins called asking where you were going. "I'm going with Mako and Prince Wei, I'll see you later" you called and Mako felt just a tiny bit smug you were leaving them from him. Sure it was your job and technically it was for Wu but it pleased him all the same.
When you got to the spa you basically had to wait a few hours until Wu was done. Usually Mako would use the time to patrol the area alone but this time he asked if you’d like to come along. You seemed surprised but agreed and walked beside him. Mako had a hidden meaning behind this, he wanted to know about the twins. “So it must be nice to see the Beifongs again” he said and you nodded. “It’s so nice! I’ve missed them a lot”. He nodded “you basically grew up with them right?”. You nodded “I started training to be a guard when I was 13″. “Wow that seems young” Mako commented and you shook your head “guard in training was just the title, I was basically a student. No guards in training take on their duties until their 16 at least. Su made sure we all graduated first, many kids take the role because it’s the easiest way to get to graduation”. Mako nodded “wow I had no idea Suyin was so...great”. You chuckled “yeah, that’s a reason so many of us in Zafou look up to her. She has all this wealth and she actually uses it to help people! She’s our heroína, our hero” you explained before wincing “that probably sounds so cringe”. Mako shook his head “no I get it, if I had someone who came along and put me and Bolin through school like that, i’d do anything for them too”. You nodded “you and Bolin are close aren’t you?”. Mako nodded “I guess, I mean we were all each other had for a long time but it does make me worry now he’s so far away and has Opal if he...” Mako paused and you looked at him “if he doesn’t need you anymore?”. Mako nodded suddenly wondering why on earth he was telling you this but you surprised him by laughing. “That’s ridiculous!” you cried “you’re his big brother he’s always going to need you! Plus it’s Bolin we’re talking about, there’s no way he’s ever letting you go”. Mako chuckled “I guess that’s true” and did feel a little better.  
Then like an idiot Mako put his foot in it  “so how well do you know the Beifong kids then? You seem close to Wei and Wing”. You paused “yeah I suppose” and Mako should’ve stopped there but he didn’t. “Are you dating them?” he asked and you stopped walking “what?”. “The twins are you seeing them?” he clarified and you shrugged “why do you want to know?”. Mako rapidly searched his brain for an answer and came up with the worst possible one. “I just think as i’m working with you it’d be good to know, in case your compromised or distracted by them”. 
He could tell my your face that wasn’t the right thing to say. 
You shook your head “you know I thought we were actually making progress but I guess you still don’t trust me huh?”. “No it’s not that” Mako said but you weren’t interested “let’s just go, Wu will be done soon” and you walked back in silence.
You didn’t say a word to Mako the rest of the day, it was like all the progress you’d made had been wiped away.  Later that evening Mako got his hour with Bolin and it was really nice. Finally he got his chance to ask Bolin about your situation and he felt like an idiot. "Y/n and the twins? No way! They're like family, Opal says they've always been close to y/n and basically think of her as a second sister" Bolin cried. "Ow" Mako said and Bolin laughed "ow?”. Mako explained what happened. “You stuck your foot in it big brother” Bolin told him and he nodded. “I know, I just figured if she's close to such a powerful family as the Beifongs, she'd...I don't know". "Choose them instead of you?" Bolin asked and then retreated when he saw Mako's eyebrows flare "what? No! I don’t even like y/n that way”. “Really because I’ve been talking to Asami and she said...”. “I don’t have a thing for y/n!” Mako cried and Bolin nodded “okay okay, let’s change the subject” but he kept smirking when he thought Mako wasn’t looking. 
The coronation was the next day and you were still not speaking to him. The way you saw it today was your last day of this job, you just had to get through this and it would all be over. You’d never have to see Mako again...of course you weren’t that lucky. 
You knew Wu was planning on letting Kuvira say a few words but you could just tell from the look in her eye she wasn’t going to take this. So you tried to catch Mako’s attention but he was staring at the crowd. Alone you made your way to Wu’s side. 
“This Earth kingdom is no more and this man has no authority” Kuvira said pointing a finger at Wu. 
You blocked him from her eyesight and put yourself between them in case she attacked. Mako hurried over and took Wu away from her. Only when Wu was safely far away did you back down. You joined Mako and he looked at you “what the hell just happened?”. You shook your head “I have no idea...” when Mako spoke again “how did you know she was going to do that? I looked up and you were just beside him”. You shrugged “I could see it in her eye and I just got the instinct to put myself between them, to protect Wu”. Mako nodded “I’m never questioning how good you are at your job again I swear”. You nodded “I think we’ve got bigger things to worry about”.

A while ago I saw the Red Lotus Suyin Beifong theory and I honestly cannot get it out of my head. Like just the idea of the sheer sense of betrayal Korra and the other would feel when it’s finally revealed that the person they thought was a friend is actually their enemy. Not to mention how would tear apart the Beifong family as well. I can just imagine how her kids would react. The Twins I can see being hit the hardest, since they seem pretty close to Suyin. But it would also devastate Opal, Huan, and Baatar Jr. It would be particularly hard for Lin and Toph to handle too.
Oh god it’s so deliciously twisted, I love it. Ugh, down muses, we don’t need another new WIP!

I love headcanoning the Beifong family as just an naturally petite family. Like the most badass family that just happen to be very very tiny and very, very mad about it.
Toph is a small chaos gremlin, we all know this.
Lin is like 5'1 feet of pure, unadulterated rage. Conpensates for it by terrifying everyone in a five mile radius.
Suyin is a just couple inches taller than Lin and Lin hates it. Baatar Sr is actually pretty tall but very gangly.
Baatar Jr is a scrankly little nerd. His book 4 glowup never happened. Once he gets back to the Beifong estate under house arrest and Kuvira stops forcing him to workout he immediately goes back to his natural scrankliness.
Huan- lanky thin little stickman emo. Could break him in two over my knee.
Opal takes after her grandma and is an absolute lil chaos gremlin. Once she got airbending she became unstoppable and now keeps bending herself onto surfaces she previously could not reach.
The twins are, i imagine, the tallest of their siblings which still isn't saying much. Ate their veggies as kids. Since I always headcanon that they take part in their mother's dance shows i always headcanon them with like, male ballet dancer builds. (Weilin height difference, Weilin height difference, Weilin hei-)
Kuvira on the other hand is tall scary lady and she reveled in it as a child. Definitely held Opal's book above her head and made her jump to get them.

oh! oh! since you mentioned atla in ur original silks!reader post, you reminded me of suyin beifong from lok! if i'm remembering correctly, she started metalbending dancing! So! vm/mn/bh seeing them do something like that with their aerial arts?
I can imagine a bit of some Cirque de Soleil
On the DL, Suyin and Suki were some of my faves because of the “dance fighting”
Vox Machina
What a talent! You’re amazing! A showstopper! Vex, Pike, Grog, and Scanlan do not mince words on seeing you in action, whereas Percy, Keyleth and Vax have a more shy, coy and subtle way of flattering you
The Mighty Nein
Automatically, Jester, Beau and Nott/Veth are your biggest fans! Jester just babbles on and on with her praise, saying she has a talented mom and now you! Mollymauk and Yasha have to fight (affectionately) for your attention. Cadeuces is still chill AF and compliments you. Meanwhile, Fjord, Caleb and Essek fumble over complimentary words with their own charm.
Bell’s Hells
A loving chaotic band of misfits meets one more! After any skirmishes or performances, you’re bombarded with questions, compliments, Chetney’s inputs, etc.
Good luck trying to break free for a moment’s breath! Also, if you try to communicate with Dorian, he’s constantly asking back and forth about it
