A/N: Yes, the things I wrote in my Korassami fics are transferred in here. I've had these headcanons since I started writing Korrasami fics, I can't let go of them.
SOKKA
Is all about that pillow talk. There might be a humble brag thrown in somewhere in there, but generally speaking he wants to make sure you're okay. He's really tuned into how you talk to him after, he's clinging onto every word you as as hard as he's clinging onto you. Starts to sound a bit sleepy as he rambles on, eventually drifting off to sleep next to you.
ZUKO
Doesn't want to make it sound like he's fishing for compliments and praise but he is. Constantly in fact, during the act and especially after. He likes to know he did good, he might have seen it, felt it, but he wants you to let him know even more. His hand is holding yours while he pulls you next to him and he kisses your forehead, affirming to you that he had a good time too.
KORRA
Would really like to cuddle but not before she fetches food and water for you both. It's really important that you both keep your energies up. You never know if you might want a round 2, or 3, or 4. So it's always good to eat and drink afterwards. She will bite and lick your fingers if you try to feed her anything and if you try to steal her food you'll find yourself pinned against the bed.
ASAMI
Smirks at you as she counts the many lipstick marks she left on your body. Her finger tickling you, making you shiver under her touch and she likes it, she likes how easy it is to tease you, wind you up. Maybe she's doing it purposely, maybe she's just helping you calm down and likes the physical contact. Either way she'll leave at least one mark for you to see when you walk up to the mirror.
BOLIN
Pulls you on top of him and snuggles his face against your neck. Don't tell him about the sweat or any other fluids, he doesn't mind one bit, he wants to cuddle with you now. He always makes you feel safe and appreciated, even if he does get rougher if you ask him for some roleplay, he is an actor after all. But he is also mindful not to hold you too hard, he doesn't want to hurt you.
MAKO
Never admits how much he likes the scratch marks you leave on his back, arms and thighs but you always catch him looking at them in the mirror afterwards. As soon as he notices you're fully awake again he rushes to kiss you deeply, his tongue seeking yours. Usually he's pretty stoic but in bed he's always passionate. He wants to return all the affection you show to him on the regular basis.
Avatar: The Last Airbender & The Legend of Korra & The Romantic Gestures That They Do
Multi Fandom: Romantic Gestures That They Do
Bolin is the ultimate "heart on his sleeve" romantic. His gestures are a mix of golden-retriever energy, classic old-school chivalry, and a touch of dramatic flair.
The "Pocket" Hold: Bolin loves holding hands, but he’ll often just tuck your hand into his pocket with his while you’re walking.
Pipe Flexing: Bolin definitely "flexes his pipes" (biceps) when you’re around, hoping you’ll notice and maybe give them a little squeeze for "good luck" before a match.
Sleep Cuddling: Bolin is a heavy sleeper and a total "koala." If you’re napping together, you’re not getting away; he’ll wrap his arms and legs around you and probably mumble something sweet in his sleep.
Forehead & Hair Kisses: Bolin's a big fan of the forehead kiss—it’s his go-to for when he’s feeling particularly soft or protective.
The "Street-Side" Swap: Bolin's religiously consistent about walking on the side of the sidewalk closest to the street to "protect" you from traffic.
Foodie Love: Since Bolin grew up hungry, sharing food is his highest honor. He will always offer you the last bite of his favorite snack, even if it’s a rare treat.
Bad Day Recovery Kit: If you’ve had a rough day, Bolin will show up with your favorite noodles, a warm blanket, and Pabu (to provide emergency snuggles).
Personal Bodyguard: Bolin takes his role as your protector very seriously but in a cute way—like insisting you take an umbrella because he saw one tiny cloud.
Love Notes & Doodles: Expect little notes from Bolin that are hidden in your bag or pockets. They usually have a very earnest "I love you!" and a slightly wonky drawing of a heart or Pabu.
Public Declarations: Bolin isn't afraid of a little PDA. He might randomly pick you up and spin you around in the middle of a crowded Republic City street just because he’s happy to be with you.
Movie Night Rituals: Bolin will insist on starting a new "mover" series together where he is "religiously" committed to never watching an episode without you.
The "First Date" Re-do: Every now and then, Bolin will show up at your door all dressed up (probably in his fancy Nuktuk premiere suit) to "take you out" as if it’s the very first time again.
Idc what anyone says! Mako who!? Bolin is WAY hotter!! Absolute Himbo! Cute face! Sweet personality! And did I mention he is probably HUNG. You can't look at this guy and tell him he's not thick like a coke can! Little me wanted to marry him soooo bad
In my personal opinion I think he'd totally fuck with a girl who's just as sweet as him bimbo x himbo match up for life!
⚠️: female reader (daughter), legend of korra spoilers, pda, relationship things, nothing else
Might be a friends to lovers
I think he'd fall for tenzans eldest daughter
You, a young air master who has spent her life training in air bending
When korra moved to the air temple island, you became close, and when she goes out to follow to make sure she doesn't do anything too stupid or dangerous
And hoping she would figure out what air bending is eventually
And you meet Bolin who falls almost immediately
He is so shy and sweet
Slowly you start spending time together
More and more
Till you become distant because you are in love with your best friend
He goes to your home and your little sister let's him in
You both stay quiet for a while, till he confessed he has feelings for you and he can't lose you as lover or friend he wants you in his life
When you finally agree on having feelings he is so happy
Definitely grabs you and spins you around
You keep thinking quite relationship wise because your father will lose his mind
He is the overprotective father who wants the best, but boys are not a part of "best"
When he finally finds out it is a while later
Probably after getting jenora back from the spirit realm
He is a little off about it at first
But he warms up to it
Eventually
Bolin loves your air bending
If you ever make him float, he will freak out before loving
He is a cuddly guy
He loves pda
Holding hands and kisses
Sign him up
If you have the tattoos he will love seeing them and how they look as tou fight/live
mind you, this was written in the trenches of 2023 and I refuse to edit it even if it is the cringiest thing ever but I'm reposting it here 1. because there's not enough Bolin content and 2. Tumblr is a lot less judgemental than Wattpad.
The rumbling of the airship came to a halt as it docked in Republic City. The bay door creaked open, shedding light on me and the cargo inside the hold. The crew began unloading the cargo and I slipped out while they were distracted. The streets were bustling even at the late evening hour. One street was blocked off, it was lined with red pop up canopies selling street food. I began roaming around the stalls, getting a few strange stares, I mean it's not everyday you see a 12 year old roaming the city streets at night, but I didn't pay attention to them, what caught my interest was the large golden building at the end of the road. It glimmered under the city lights. I felt drawn to it, like it was something that I was meant to see my entire life. I recognised it after a few minutes of staring.
"C'MON MAKO! We don't wanna miss the match!" I turned to the voice and saw a boy with jet black hair and emerald green eyes that looked around my age, dragging an older boy, that beared some resemblance to him, by the forearm towards the building.
"Shh, keep quiet Bolin. We're on the run remember. We can't let... them... find us."
I had so many questions, for later though. I slipped into the stadium and took my seat in a "free seat". The match began and the crowd went wild at every move. I had always been a pro bending lover, ever since I first listened to a radio. My face lit up at the teams and moves and everything. One of the earthbenders knocked the other flat and I cheered alongside the boy next to me.
"KNOCK HIM DEAD!" I yelled.
"You're really into this!" The boy yelled over the cheering.
"Yeah! I love probending!" I replied just as excited.
"Me too! I would love to be in that arena! Knocking people with rocks left and right!" I tensed, realising he was an earthbender.
"You're an earthbender?"
"Yeah! You?"
"Non-bender."
"Oh... that's still cool though! You can still do so much!" He said, assuming I was upset with being a non-bender.
"Thanks!" The team we were cheering on won and cheered loudly. We headed outside the stadium ranting about the match and how cool it was.
"I know right! That earthbender girl was awesome! I'm Bolin by the way."
"I'm Y/n."
The older boy that was with Bolin looked at me with narrow eyes and then back to Bolin.
"C'mon Bolin don't talk to strangers." He said taking another glance at me.
"But Mako-"
"C'mon Bo."
Bolin began to follow his older brother while waving goodbye to me. I roamed around the street markets for a bit and stumbled across a water tribe noodle place. There was a poster on the front door detailing that they were hiring, perfect. I went in, asked about the job and they pretty much gave it to me on the spot. They led me to the back and I put on an apron and took over the cash register. The bell above the door dinged as someone walked in.
"Welcome, how can I help you-" I looked up to see the boy I met before. "Bolin!"
"Hi Y/n! I didn't expect to see you working here."
"Well I do now." We both laughed. "Now how can I help you?"
My first day in the big city had so far been great. This was my life now.
...
I have known Bolin for 3 years now and his brother doesn't hate me anymore so that's good. I may have developed a tiny crush on Bolin, JUST A SMALL ONE! But everytime we hang out or he even just talks to me, I feel like something is flying around in my stomach.
I finished my shift at the noodle shop and headed to the pro bending arena to watch his game. I maneuvered my way through the crowd and up to the box where the teams prepare. On my way I passed the gym where Bolin had just entered an put his arm around a random girl.
"It's okay Toza, she's with me."
"Oh whatever, just get out of my gym!"
He walked out with the girl and I decided to scare him a bit. I lightly tapped him on the shoulder which caused him to shriek.
"I still got it." I chuckled to myself.
"It's just you. Good one, Y/n."
"I know I'm amazing."
We headed up to the box and the girl immediately rushed to the railing and gawked at the huge stadium.
"It's pretty great isn't it." I said to her while Mako and Bolin were arguing about something. "I'm Y/n by the way."
"Korra."
"Ok we're up!" Bolin called to us.
"Good luck, not that you'll need it." I said back. The elevator descended and Korra and I cheered for them as they were announced. The match began and Hasook wen t flying over the edge, I never liked him anyway.
"Let's just hope that the fabulous bending brothers can hold out!" Shiro announced over the loudspeaker.
"C'mon Bolin..." I mumbled. The brothers were knocked back into zone 3 and had lost the round.
"Round 1 goes to the Golden Temple Tiger-dillos!" The ref called the play. The second round started and they were immediately pushed back into zone 2.
"C'MON!" Korra and I both yelled in unison. The team knocked the Tiger-dillos into zone 3 winning the second round.
"Tensions are still high as we move into the 3rd and final round!"
Hasook was knocked down and toppled onto Bolin. They were both knocked of the ring and now it was all up to Mako. He teatered over the edge of the ring seemingly trying to tire the other team out, and it worked. He knocked the water and fire-bender out of the ring. Mako continued to deflect the earth-benders attack. The huge dust cloud resulting from the standoff was used to Mako's advantage as he knocked the now blinded player out of the ring, winning the match. Korra and I jumped up and down cheering as the elevator returned up.
"WOO-HOO! YES! One more win and we're in the championship tournament!" He snapped off his helmet and looked at Korra. "So what d'you think? Bolin's got some moves huh."
"What did I think? WHAT DID I THINK! You guys are amazing, you gotta show me some moves."
"Oh definitely, I'm just not sure how my earth-bending translates to your water-bending."
"That's okay, I'm actually an earth-bender."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to assume, because of your water tribe getup, I thought you were a water-tribe gal."
"No-no you're right, I'm a water-bender and a fire-bender."
Bolin looked confused until Mako spoke up.
"You're the avatar and I'm an idiot."
I looked at Korra with a mixed confused and impress look.
"Holy spirits, you're the avatar!?" I exclaimed.
"The one and only." She snarked.
We headed down to the gym and I sat on a step as I watched Bolin teach Korra some moves. Look I know they just met and Korra seems like an awesome person, but I tend to notice little things, like the way Bolin had his arm around her and the way he flirted with her. It's stupid but I can't help but feel jealous. Mako spoke up and snapped me out of my thoughts.
"I said not bad! I'm gonna turn in, see you upstairs bro!" Mako said turning around and leaving.
"Wait upstairs? You guys live here?"
"Yeah it's not much, but we have some great views!"
I hopped up from my step and started to walk towards the door.
"I'm gonna head out to, I have the morning shift."
"Awww but you're always working!" Bolin complained.
"I'll make it to your match tomorrow don't worry, see you Bolin, nice meeting you Korra!"
I headed to my small studio apartment and got some well need and well deserved shut eye.
The next night
I headed up to the arena and ran into Korra on the way.
"Korra!" I called out to her.
"Hey Y/n! You heading to the match?"
"Hell yeah!"
We walked to the box together and saw Bolin sitting on the bench and Mako leaning against the wall.
"Hey we didn't miss your match did we? You guys look like you lost."
"Might as well have..." Bolin sighed.
"Hasooks a no good no show!" Mako screamed in anger. The ref walked in and informed then they had two minutes to find a sub or they would be disqualified.
"Welp, goodbye championship trophy." I had never seen Bolin so down before, I wanted to do something but Korra interviened.
"I'll fill in for you, I'm a top notch water bender myself you know. "
"Absolutely not, I'd rather forfeit than look like a fool out there." Mako snapped at Korra, I rolled my eyes at his incompetence.
"Wow thanks for the vote of confidence."
The ref walked in again.
"Times up, you in or you out?"
"We're in!"
"We are?"
"Yes!"
"Wait I didn't agree to this!"
I sarcastically patted Mako on the shoulder.
"Have fun."
Korra put her uniform on and they stepped onto the elevator. I leaned over the railing and waited patiently for the match to begin. The bell rung and Korra wasted no time in knocking the opposing player off the SIDE of the ring. I face palmed and a penalty was called.
"She has no idea what she is doing."
Korra was moved back a zone and the match continued. Korra then stepped over the line and it flashed red.
"Oh she REALLY has no idea what she's doing." Another foul was called and she was moved back to zone three. Round 2 began and the entire opposing team focused all their attacks on Korra. She quickly took a different stance and bended two earth-discs to protect herself.
"Oh spirits-"
"FOUL! I think?" The referee called and Shiro announced that she was the avatar. The ref made a final call that she would be allowed to play as long as she only bends water. The round continued and she was knocked off the ring. Mako and Bolin continued to fight the Platypus-bears, a 2 against 3. The platypus-bears one round 2 and now it was time for the 3rd and final round, the round that would decide whether the Fire Ferrets would make it to the championships or not. The Platypus bears had the brothers backed up against the side. Korra kept pushing forward but was not having much luck, being forced to the edge of the ring. Korra yet again took a different stance and began dodging the attacks like a completely different player. It was almost like she was floating, she dodged the attacks flawlessly allowing them to tire themselves out.
"The Platypus bears are all out of juice, but Mako and Bolin are still fresh and juicy!"
The Fire Ferrets bended their respective elements at the opposing team and swept them off their feet. One by one, the Platypus bears were finished, all defeated in the murky water below. The Fire ferrets had won and were now in the Championship tournament. I cheered so loudly to the point where my throat felt dry. The elevator rose and Bolin tackled me into a tight hug.
"WE DID IT! WE ACTUALLY DID IT!" He yelled.
"You really pulled through Korra! Nice work!"
I headed home and flopped onto my my bed. Korra's a nice person, it just hurts seeing Bolin swoon over her.

Helloooo!! Can I request mako and bolín (seperate) being protective of their (s/o), thank you a lot<33
Ofc u can!
A/n: mako and Bolin have the most requests so far,I'm really glad tbh that people are submitting requests,keep em coming.i also added in Korra and Kuvira ,since this seems like a perfect imagine for them.
Genre: Fluff
Mako x reader, Bolin x reader, Kuvira x reader,Korra x reader (all separate)
Overprotective Lovers
Warnings: none.
Starting off with Mako,he's the kind of guy that doesn't take well to someone talking to you in some kind of mean way in front of him, especially if you're more a more naive person.
Even if you take care of yourself, he's still there making sure you're away from harms way.
If you ever get hurt or kidnapped,it's over for whoever did it, it's not like he's usually a calm person,but take away his favorite person and you got yourself a big problem to deal with.
Even when you're not exactly in danger, he's there. It's sweet really,but it can also be annoying when overdone.
You like being protected by him,but not all the time, he didn't like it when you talked to Korra, claiming since she's the avatar she would draw unnecessary attention over you and put you in complicated situations.
Of course you explain to him that you're a big girl and that you can watch over yourself,but he just can't understand it. {Sigh}.
Korra? Well she had her ups and downs. But she learned ,ok? Once you two got together ,this feeling that's she allways had grew stronger,her urge to protect you.
Of course she would blame it on the fact that she's the avatar,but really it was her being protective of you.
Even before dating her ,you knew this would draw a lot of attention to yourself, and potential enemies of the avatar would want to harm you. But that didn't stop you,after all you're free to love whoever you want even if it endangers you.
When Korra faced Amon she used to be Terrified something bad would happen to you, even her dreams would be hunted by dark images. She would see Amon preparing to take away your bending,but each time she would wake up before anything happened,in cold sweat,with you by her side.
If you're a light sleeper,you would assure her nothing happened to you,and that you're okay.
Even after she defeated Amon, more villains appeared,making Korra constantly worry about you. But one thing is sure, that she would always be there to protect you,and in case anything happens,to save you.
This boy is the most carefree of them all. He doesn't really have to worry that you would be kidnapped or hurt most of the time,but if it ever happens, either someone hurt you or something went wrong in the mission?
He's full boyfriend mode on. He wouldn't be like Korra or Mako, first thing he would do is bring you to safety, revenge not being his thing.
If you're okay ,that's what matters to him. But now if you're especially targeted by someone? He's not as chill as before. Especially since he recently learned how to lava bend, which makes him a pretty strong bender, definitely not the kind you would want to piss off by chasing around his girlfriend,nu uh.
Bolin knew it was a mistake to introduce you to his boss, Varrick.
That man would make flirty jokes with you,which always made Bolin roll his eyes and mock him quietly.
So what if he's smart and rich? You wouldn't like a prick like him.
Whenever Varrick got too close, your boy would be there to put distance between the two of you. It's not that he's jealous,but he knows how his boss is.
Yeah no. I doubt anyone would even try to threaten you while she's around.
After all the power and respect she gained, expect people to fear you just because you're with her. So mostly Kuvira doesn't have to worry that anyone is gonna try anything.
After all she made quite a name for herself.
Even so, being The Great Uniter's s/o came with it's disadvantages.
For example,if someone really wanted to hurt her,they would target you. You're her soft spot,and she knows it.
Yes,you have your personal guards picked by Kuvira herself. Just because she doesn't expect you to be attacked it doesn't mean she won't be prepared for it.
You're hers,and the world knows it.
.

A/n : I really enjoyed writing this,I might make another part with different characters :)
