I don't know if requests are open or not, but might as give it a try.
May I request a oneshot or headcanon about a potential child/reader between Lin and Tenzin?
Platonic in this case.
Anyway have a nice day!
Tenlin Kid Headcanons
I have… many thoughts about a kid between those two <.< >.> Sorry this took so long, I hope you don’t mind that I went with headcanons! TY for the request! <3

-Lin didn’t really want a kid… at all. Very conveniently for her, Y/n ends up being an airbender so that kinda makes them not her problem.
-Which is a little harsh but, it is what it is.
-Y/n was born blind- but not being an earthbender they couldn’t learn seismic sense to help them. So they did one better and developed seismic sense but for airbending.
-Airbenders typically already have a weak sense of this, being able to sense increased wind rates around them and determine an attack in their blind spot but Y/n does this on a much larger level.
-They’re a good bit older than their siblings, I’d say around Mako’s age, and we’re the only one of the airbender kids who got to meet Aang- Even if they don’t remember it :’)
-While they’re relationship with Lin is pretty much non existent, they’re very close with Tenzin
-Before having Jinora, Ikki and Meelo with Pema, he would take them on those fun airbending trips that Aang took him on.
-Now I’m not saying Tenzin sometimes forget his own kid is blind but-
-”Look Y/n, there's the Unagi.” “Wow! Awesome! You know what would make this even better, Dad?” “What?” “If I could look.”
-It’s kind of a similar situation to how the Gaang was with Toph, it’s just a thing that slips everyone's minds
-Though on the flip side he can be very doting about it
-”Be careful there's a-” “I know, Dad.” “Watch out for that-” “I know, Dad.” “Do you need help getting-” “No, Dad.”
-There is no in-between
-Honestly Pema, Lin and Toph are probably the only people who dont forget about it sometimes. Jinora, Mako and Asami are pretty good about it thought, just have the occasional slip up.
-”Did you see-” “No.”
-Y/n gives everyone a hard time about it, but it doesn’t actually bother them.
-It’s not really a secret that Lin is their mother, but no one really questions it.
-Until Korra shows up- She questions it
-Her and Mako are like ‘wait a minute’ and put the pieces together pretty quickly.
-One day Korra is practicing airbending with Y/n and is not so casually like “Soooo… Lin.” and they’re just confused “What about Lin?”
-Korra isn’t even subtle about it and blurts out “She’s your mom, right?!”
-They’re very casually like “Yeah” and continue on with their training. “Oh but don’t tell her or my Dad I know, they don’t know I figured it out yet.”
-Lin totally knows they figured it out, but Tenzin really does have no idea
