Author's note: Super short little smidge of an update to celebrate the fact that Lin and Kya were actually in the same frame a couple of times during the finale. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. I have more to come but the next update will probably not be for a couple of weeks.
There was nothing left to do but wait-and Lin had never been particularly good at waiting.
She'd spent the last hour fussing with the already immaculate house. Her uniform was neatly tucked away in the wardrobe for the night. There were orchids in a vase on the table, more orchids in the bedroom, fire-nation wine in the kitchen and outrageously expensive bath salts by the tub.
Were the flowers too much? Too cliche?
She considered throwing them away. She considered changing clothes. Something dressier?
Should she have bought candles?

She heard fumbling at the door, opened it to find a wide-eyed Kya standing at the other side-orchids under one arm, fire-nation wine under the other, a small pack slung over her shoulder.
"I didn't think you'd be home yet."
That would explain the hairpin wedged into her lock.
"That's unlawful entry, you know."
"Good thing I live here now or I could be in a lot of trouble."
