Holding it together because I want to see the day where I get to read an AU fic where Lin Beifong somehow became a villain because of people constantly traumatizing and fucking up her life.. y'all LOK and Lin stan, write it pleaseeeee and make it angssttyyyyy
Thinking about this once again. The desire to write this story is fueled by an animation I saw here of Korra and Lin punching and fighting each other lol. As well as a fic I have read after Amon took Lin's bending and she had all this nightmares.
Anyway, I think the plot would be "what if Vaatu somehow got out of its prison before Harmonic Convergence and he didn't fused with Unalaq but instead feeds in anger and pain of people outside the portal" I think Vaatu would just linger on people's mind reminding them of their darkest secrets and would find a really broken person. It would jump from one person to another until it finds it suitable host.
I know their could be triad leaders that Vaatu could just whoop and possess but I believe he would really love torturing its host before it submits themselves into him. But, Vaatu would use tactics and strategy to defeat Raava and who would be the best candidate? Lin "fuck-uped" Beifong. She is the closest person to the Avatar Vaatu could use.
Think this he would just play tricks on Lin. Especially after Amon took her bending. Reminding her of her tarnished relationship with Su and Toph. Failed relationship with Tenzin. Loosing friends because she grew to embody this persona that they didn't want to be with. I think loosing her bending in this story would take longer than the canon. Now it wouldn't really attack the Avatar directly cuz of course harmonic convergence needs to happen first but I think this Dark Lin would start to corrupt other people, then go incognito in spreading yet another fear after amon was defeated and this bitch would be like acting the same all the time as if nothing is happening in her mind..
ahh fuck OP and cringe as it may sound fuckkxmdndn it makes me go crazy!
