this was requested by Anonnim. the sneaky bastard played four of us into writing Lin and Su after the coronation. though i find it funny that we were all tricked. haha well played. hope you enjoy this.

Lin entered the hotel that was currently housing her sister, an annoying prince and a dictator. She found her sister sitting in the lobby, looking down at her hands, which were currently clasped in her lap. Something she did whenever she was upset.

Lin felt sorry for her little sister, she had lost her eldest son to the terrible dictator, she rarely gets to see her only daughter and she was so far from home. She came to stand in front of Su, kneeling down so she could look her little sister in the eye. She took one of her hands in her own, grabbing her attention. "You're coming home with me tonight."

Su didn't meet her eyes, instead she stood, allowing Lin to guide her out of the hotel with an arm around her waist, to the police car Lin drove. They travelled in silence. Not wanting to talk about the day's events.

Lin parked the car next to the curb, getting out to lead her sister into her large home. Lin unlocked the heavy wooden door, allowing her sister to enter first. "There is some leftovers in the fridge. I'll call the hotel and request that they deliver your suitcases here. In the mean time you can borrow a pair of my pyjamas."

"Thanks Lin."

Lin gave a curt nod in reply. Su followed her to her bedroom as Lin made her way to get dressed out of her uniform. She opened a dresser draw, pulling out a pair of plain white pants and top, handing them to her sibling. "You can get dressed in the guest bedroom across the hall."

Su found Lin in the kitchen warming up some leftover soup on the stove. "Your pyjamas are a bit big on me."

Lin turned around to find the top Su was wearing slipping off of her shoulder, as she tried to readjust it. "I got mums broad figure, you got grandmas skinny figure so don't blame me that they don't fit you."

Su scoffed at the comment. Ever since they were children Lin had always been bigger than her in every aspect. Height, muscles, weight even in the chest. It's what made Lin stand out as the 'bigger' sister. "Do you have any alcohol?"

"I think there is some beer in the fridge."

"No wine?" Lin looked at her sister as though she had grown a second head. "That's right, cops only drink beer of hard liquor. So what are you making anyway?"

"Turtle duck soup. Is that okay your majesty?"

Su rolled her eyes at the nickname. Lin had first called her, 'her majesty' when she was four and couldn't tie her shoelaces, with her mother never having to wear shoes, Lin was her only option. "You're not funny."

Lin playfully nudged her with her elbow. "That's what you think. Go sit in the lounge room, I'll be there soon." Su did as she was told. Lin walked into the room, earthbending two bowls in the air as she held two bottles of beer.

Su took her bowl and began eating as though it were her last meal. "I've got to say, I've missed your cooking."

Lin slurped her own soup, a bit taken aback at what her sister had just said. "Surely your chef's food is better than mine?"

"Yeah but it doesn't have that feel of a family meal."

The two finished their food in silence until Su took a sip of her beer, grimacing as it found its way down her throat. Lin laughed as she took a swig from her own bottle. "You never really had a taste for beer."

"Unlike you who came home with mother once or twice drunk off your faces from 'a good day at work.' What did you two even do that was so good?"

Lin laughed harder at the statement. "That was our code for 'too much fucking paperwork lets leave it to the rookies and get drunk.' I think uncle Sokka joined in once or twice. He could never out drink us though. But the look on aunt Katara's face was worth it when he came to her to have his hangover fixed." Silence filled the room at the mention of Sokka. Both girls were very close to the man when he was alive. He made their mother happy, helped them with their homework and he even taught Lin how to drive. "I miss him."

"I do to."

Lin looked down at the empty bottle in her hands. "You know he was your father right?"

"Yeah, I know. I played dumb because I knew mum never wanted us to know who our fathers were. I think she would feel guilty if I got to grow up knowing who my father was, whilst you didn't know who yours was. Do you ever wish you knew who your father was?"

Lin shook her head. "If he wanted to be apart of my life or if he wanted to be with mum he wouldn't have left. I don't want someone in my life like that." She looked up to see tears rolling down Su's cheeks.

"I miss him so much." Lin placed their empty bottles on the coffee table before bringing her sister in close, allowing her to cry into her chest. "I only knew him for fifteen years. He never learnt that I was his daughter, or how much I loved him. When Bataar junior was born, I saw Sokka in him. And as he grew up it began to show how much of Sokka was really in him. He told terrible jokes but we still laughed because they were so terrible. He had the same goofy laugh and silly grin as he grew up. And he is so smart. He kept coming up with all these new ideas on how to improve the city. It was amazing. And now I've lost him to a dictator."

"She's a bitch."

"She really is. If mum was here, she'd kick Kuvira's ass before she knew what hit her." Su let out a sigh. "I don't want her last name to be Beifong."

Lin stroked Su's hair in comfort. "I know. If you want, I can denounce Baatar's last name. I have the power you know."

"Kuvira's the bitch, not me. I just wish they weren't getting married and that he'd return home. She wants to take over Zaofu."

"You're kidding." It was a statement, not a question. "There is nothing she can bargain with. You have your own farmers so she can't take away your food and you have your own army. If she values her life she would stay away."

Hours passed that was filled with various conversations between the two. Some made them laugh and smile whilst others made them cry. Lin looked up at the clock to find it was two in the morning. "We should get to bed. We've had a long day and no doubt Raiko will be yelling at me to stop Kuvira."

Lin helped Su to her feet, her little sister already falling asleep where she stood. "Can I sleep in your room? Like when we were kids and I had a bad day?"

Knowing this would be a one off thing, Lin agreed, even if she wasn't one for sharing her bed. "Just like old times."

They both laid down on the bed, sighing in content as the mattress began to fit to the contours of their backs. Lin was about to slip into sleep when Su decided to speak. "Hey Lin?"

"What Su?"

"Can I ask you something?"

I swear if this is going to be a sleepless night filled by questions, I'm going to need a lot of coffee in the morning. "You just did."

"Like I said earlier, you are not funny." The room became eerily silent before Su spoke. "Do you still hate me for giving you those scars?"

Lin groaned at the question. They had been over this a million times since they reconciled three years ago and Su still felt guilty. Lin rolled over to face Su, deciding to put this to bed once and for all. "No, I do not hate you. This wasn't the first scar you gave me and I doubt it would be the last. Now close your eyes and sleep."

Su did as she was told, happy that Lin reassured her about the incident that divided them for thirty years.
