Since youāve been answering a lot of Kaz asks lately, I thought Iād jump on the bandwagon too lol
I recently re-read Gone, Not Forgotten (its on my heartbreak rotation fic donāt @ me) and I paid slightly closer attention to itā Lin opens up about Kaz to Bumi??? Her last most meaningful relationship??
With this knowledge, and seeing as Bumi retires right after + Kaz comes back to RC, how does this go about? Does it ever come up in conversation? When Tenzin vents about Kaz at home, does Bumi have an evil grin like āofc you donāt like himā? Does Kaz know that Lin told Tenzinās brother about them? (You know when the mail finds her at Kazās place and heās like itās okay if you told someone). Or has Lin not mentioned Kaz by name to Bumi so Bumi at some point has a notepad and pen, fully sherlocked with Bumju at the council chambers to see at the sight of whom Chief Beifongās heart beats a little more affectionately.
This has opened up the floor for so much for me haha
Great catch (this is so fun for me lol)
So, I wrote that fic when I was still ironing out the details for Lin and Kaz, so I think my intentions then arenāt exactly the same ācanonā as my intentions now but Iāll break it down both ways-
I think originally it would have been a situation where Bumi is grinning and saying āofc you donāt like him šā but as it stands Iām glad I left it a little vague because for it to align with Spirit of Change it would make more sense if he knew *something* but didnāt have a name and was fully Sherlocked with Bumju lmaooooo
In either situation I think Lin saying it was her most meaningful relationship since Tenzin would have been a sarcastic comment from her since in either timeline it was just casual hookups at that point!
Anyway now Iām loving the idea of Bumi and Bumju on a side quest about who this could be and driving Lin insane tryin to get info about it from her at the worst possible time hahahah
