Requested: "Can you write Lin x Reader where R is in love with Lin and Lin didn't realized she was also in live with R. Not until Lin was jealous when she saw Kya is making a move to R. 🥺🤭 (is it confusing? 😅 Anyway, yeah semi angst or pure angst )"
Summary: You've had feelings for Lin forever, but it takes her until someone else notices you for her to realize that she feels exactly the same way about you.

When there was an urgent call about a disturbance at the Republic City Rift, there were plenty of people Lin figured would be there: Korra, the Airbenders, the guy who claimed to own the land - the list could go on. She wasn't expecting the Kyoshi Warriors, though.
She wasn't expecting you, hog-monkey-tying the latest leader of the Triple Threat Triad. Maybe most people would have struggled to recognize one person among the other green-clad warriors in water-resistant face paint, but as soon as she saw the familiar uniforms, Lin's eyes darted straight to your unique headdress. She gravitated towards you, trying to tell herself it was solely because of the Triple Threat you were gagging with a green sash to shut him up.
Really, though, she was glad to see a familiar face, one without a complicated history. You were honest, a reliable friend, a devoted warrior who had her own priorities and life, and you were always pleasant to boot, even in Lin's grizzlier moments. Sure, she was closer with Suyin and there were more good memories with Tenzin and Pema as her friends now, but everything with you had always been so easy. You and her went together like cherry-berry lemonade and watermelon juice.
"Chief Beifong," you said cheerfully as you kept the delinquent squirming beneath you still by pressing his shoulder blade firmly to the ground with your boot. "What a lovely surprise seeing you here."
"I think the bigger surprise is seeing you," she chuckled, looking around at your fellow Warriors dragging the other Triple Threats to police custody. After you hoisted the kid previously under your boot up, she took hold of him. "Is Kyoshi Island safe without you all to protect it?"
"It's certainly safer than this rift without us here."
Lin put her free hand on her hip as she looked around at the airbenders who'd been caught up in the fight while protecting the rift. A couple were injured, but nothing too bad. "And just how is the rift unsafe?"
"Izumi's kid--- Iroh--- telegraphed a message about how Raiko is considering calling in the United Forces to stop the Air Nation from preventing people like Wonyong Keum from claiming the land and turning it into a tourist attraction."
"Great," she said flatly, gesturing for you to follow her over to put the Triple Threat in the back of one of the cars with his other tied-up buddies. "Just what we need. The army. Thanks for coming to help the airbenders. I would join you, but the turf wars all over the city ever since Kuvira's invasion have gotten increasingly worse."
