working on a kyalin canon long fic and it's accidentally becoming a kya character study.....................................................

[hotpinkrathian]

I will never get over the Suyin playing cupid trope and if you can't either than you should go read chapter 11 of A United Front

Still not convinced here's an excerpt of Lin and Kya rizzing each other up

I've posted about 1/2 of the complete story on AO3 now and I think yall deserve a special shout out your comments and theories are so inspiring and I hope I can post the rest of it soon. I'm up to 90K words now and I PROMISE those of you waiting for angst, it is coming.

But for now, enjoy these two awkward gays trying to flirt with each other

“Lin call me crazy but I think you enjoyed yourself, even if you did slip a bit of work in at the end.” 

“Having someone to fight other than my sister helped.” Lin said plainly. 

“I see,” Kya said, “so in summary, you like having me around.” 

Lin watched her family walk inside, busied by their own chatter and reflections of the evening. Suyin offered pointers and Bataar offered his excitement and encouragement. 

When they were inside, she turned back to Kya, who was watching her a little too intently. 

The sky had darkened significantly, Lin hadn't noticed before, but the stars were out. The sky wasn't quite black, but rather a stark shade of navy. The moon was almost full, a few more days and the fox-wolves would be audible from inside the dome. 

“Maybe I do,” Lin replied. “Would that be so bad?”

Kya seemed surprised, looking from Lin, to the house, to the sky before her eyes landed back on her. 

Lin's stomach tumulted in nervousness, or excitement, or both. 

You're not exactly subtle. 

Suyin was right, she wasn't subtle. She never had been. When she was angry she made it obvious. When she was frustrated she was expressive. She had held a grudge for twenty years because of how un-subtle she was. 

“Not at all,” Kya answered, her eyes darting back and forth with nervousness. 

There was a knock on the glass, so Lin looked to see her niece waving her over. 

“That can't be good,” Lin said, looking back to Kya. 

“Always the pessimist.” Kya laughed, brushing past her. Her shoulder nearly made Lin stumble with the impact. Kya's face turned at just the right angle that Lin could see a grin form when she thought Lin couldn't see. 

Lin sighed contently before following the others inside. 

She watched Kya in front of her, hoping the waterbender wouldn't turn around and catch her smile.

Bolin: So to summarize: Bolin: 1) Kya’s fiancée teaches at RCU Bolin: 2) Kya is a huge oversharer but she hasn’t overshared her fiancees name which is objectively suspicious Bolin: 3) We know she and prof Beifong have known each other since literal childhood Bolin: 4) Prof Beifong has been slightly less anal for the past week

Korra and Bolin are the only two students in both Kya and Lin's university classes and are determined to prove that Kya's mysterious new fiancée is their uptight criminology professor

A very stupid kyalin fic I wrote over the past couple days, including lots of scheming, renaming of groupchats, and bullying Mako

angstpril day ten: don’t look back

CW: reasonably vivid/gory death, slight hysterics, more very sad

fic under the cut

Kya had to fight to focus on the injured man in front of her when she heard the shout behind her. The fight had been going on for a time now, Lin and many officers called in to moderate yet another triad war. They’d been almost immediately pulled into the fight, the opposing triads abandoning their hate for one another and focusing their attacks solely on the police.

Kya head been called in with her team of healers to deal with the injured, both triad members and police. Kya had taken up a station with her back to the fight, knowing it would be almost impossible for her to not rush to Lin’s side. She knew Lin could easily hold her own in a fight, but she still worried.

So when she heard that shout, it took every ounce of her self control to not look back. Her steady hands began to shake, her grip on the healing water slipping. She closed her eyes against the what ifs that her mind was feeding her, but it only brought the images to life. It was then that she couldn’t take it anymore, abandoning the man she was healing and turning to where her girlfriend was fighting.

“Lin!” Kya yelled, trying to get the young chief’s attention.

Lin glanced back at her with gritted teeth, but kept her focus on the attacking triad. Kya scanned down Lin’s body, searching for the injury that could’ve caused her cry. It wasn’t hard to spot, a large red stain growing steadily on her right thigh, skin showing through her ripped pants.

“Lin, you’re hurt!” Kya tried again to get her attention, quickly realising it would take more than just that.

She knew the only way she could convince Lin to stop fighting so she could heal her was with words, and lots of them. The only way she’d get enough words out for it to work was if she was close to Lin, speaking normally. She had to go in and join the fray.

She grabbed the water she’d been using for healing, gesturing quickly for one of her colleagues to take over for her before making her way to Lin.

Several triad members tried to attack her on her way, but she dodged and weaved through the onslaught expertly. She quickly made it to Lin, pressing their backs together and defending them with the little water she had.

“Lin, you are seriously hurt, I need to heal you,” Kya said, creating an ice shield against a blast of fire shot at them.

“I’m fine,” Lin growled, moving completely in sync with Kya to switch their directions, wrapping a cable around the firebender’s ankles and causing him to fall.

“You are not fine, listen to me,” Kya continued, her voice growing more desperate with every word.

“I can tell that you’re in pain- ”

“I’m fine.”

“ -and if you don’t let me heal you you’re going to bleed to death,” Kya froze the ground beneath a woman’s feet, making her fall mid-charge.

Lin didn’t answer this time, instead focussing her energy on taking out triad members. Kya knew then that it didn’t matter what she said, Lin would not walk away from this battle. She tried not to cry as they both continued fending off benders and nonbenders alike, the number of injured waiting for care on the sidelines ever growing. Lin seemed to be doing alright, somehow still standing despite the injury and blood loss, and Kya dared to hope she’d be alright.

It was a terrible mistake.

Lin let out a blood-curdling scream and the steady pressure against Kya’s back was gone. Kya gasped, trying not to panic while still being bombarded by the triads.

Don’t look back, she repeated to herself over and over, a lump forming in her throat.

Tears slipped down her face.

“Lin, talk to me, you’re alright,” She said, voice shaking, as she was still forced to fight.

“You have to stay awake, okay? Stay awake, you’ve lost a lot of blood, but you’ll be okay,” She let out a sob when Lin didn’t answer.

“Lin, please, talk to me, please,” She continued, finally giving in to the urge to look back at her girlfriend.

What she saw was worse than anything she could have imagined.

“LIN!” Her scream turned the heads of most of their assailants, as well as people on the sidelines.

Lin lay on the uneven ground, eyes closed and breathing shallow. Her arms sprawled out at her sides, her head resting at an uncomfortable angle.

Her legs and lower torso lay several feet away.

The fighting seemed to still as Kya fell to her knees beside Lin. All eyes were on her as she began to sob messily, bringing violently shaking hands to her girlfriend in a futile attempt to heal her. Deep down she knew how hopeless it was to still try saving her, but she didn’t stop until she could no longer keep her grip on the water.

She slumped over Lin’s chest, sobbing and pulling her up from the ground. She was unsettlingly light despite the armour still clinging to her as Kya hugged her tightly. Lin’s head drooped backwards and blood poured from her severed stomach, her skin getting paler by the second. Kya ignored the puddle forming around her, the warm wetness of Lin’s blood thoroughly soaking her dress. She sobbed into her shoulder until someone lightly touched her shoulder, making her suddenly aware of how much time had passed.

The fight must have been somehow resolved, only a few healers and civilians left in the area. The sky had grown quite dark, and the once hot and sticky blood covering her was now cold and dry. She slowly pulled her head back to see who had tapped her, and she exhaled unevenly when she who it was.

“Toph,” She cried softly, looking up at Lin’s mother.

Toph’s head hung low, tears streaming from her unfocused eyes. She stood there silently for a moment, hand on Kya’s shoulder, before crouching next to her.

“You need to let her go,” She said gently, wrapping her arm around Kya’s back.

“No,” Kya whispered, shaking her head.

“I can’t. I- I won’t,” She pulled Lin’s torso in closer, her short fingernails scraping the metal of her armour.

“Kya,” Toph’s tone was harsher now, though Kya heard the pain through it.

She didn’t respond, instead burying her head in Lin’s shoulder again. After a short moment of silence, Toph shifted beside her, securing her hands under Kya’s arms before heaving her up. Kya wobbled on her feet, leaning into Toph before realizing what she was trying to do.

“No,” Kya said, anger and fear brewing in her chest.

“I won’t leave her!” She tore away from Toph, sinking to her knees again.

There was a deafeningly loud silence between them before someone approached Toph, asking if she needed any help.

She didn’t hear Toph’s answer but soon felt someone prying her hands off of Lin and pulling her from her arms. Another person was just behind her, supporting her weight and lifting her once Lin was removed from her. She screamed at them, kicking at the air and trying to get away with everything she had, trying to get back to Lin.

“Kya,” Someone in front of her said, walking towards her despite her flailing legs.

“Kya,” They repeated, placing a hand on her cheek.

She stopped kicking and screaming, sobs shaking her body in their place. She finally looked up at the woman in front of her, suddenly realizing why their voice had seemed so familiar.

“Mom,” She wept, the strong arms previously restraining her releasing her into Katara’s embrace.

“I know, baby, I know,” Katara said, stroking her hair gently.

There was a quiet cry from the person behind Kya, causing Katara to pull away. Kya turned to see Toph standing there, her hand pressed against her mouth and eyes squeezed shut. Kya shot her mother a glance before stepping towards Toph and pulling her into a tight hug.

“I’m so sorry,” She whispered.

“So am I,” Toph responded, her voice dry and cracking.

They cried into one another for a long time, Katara joining them briefly before moving them back to the Air Temple so they could clean up and rest. Everyone on the island was a mess for a long time after that, but they all were glad to have one another for support. Lin may have been gone, but at least they could count on each other.

[lilacmooon]

Kya and Lin in general but in these SWT chapters of 'Moonstone' especially:

"you think i'm pretty?" "please, you know you're fucking gorgeous." comfort, hand holding, face touching. definitely not flirting. watching her sleep. breakfast in bed but only platonicly. tank top torture. more not flirting. more comforting and hand holding. legs on top of legs. "i love you, ky." "i love you too, linny." "i've missed you." "i've missed you too. so much." staring at mouths. drinking out of the same glass. "honey." "babe." picking her up. pressing her into a wall. just helping her with the fastens of her dress that's all. just touching her skin it's fine. "i want you." "i love you. and I can't lose you." sharing a room is going to be so normal. if i choke when she gets out of the shower that's also totally normal. getting naked in front of her but in an angry way. "just hold me anyway." so much comforting. hand kissing and spooning. throbbing is a totally acceptable friend feeling. "you're sweet when you're passionate." "you mean the world to me too." "the only thing that matters to me is you." "i love you." "i love you too." kissing all of her fingers. kissing her temple and her hair and the tears on her face. "i love you so much."

Also Kya and Lin: What? No, I'm not in love with her. That's my friend. My pal and my confidante.
