Lin/Tenzin fic in its most basic form

lizbeeThere's a gap in the Lin/Tenzin genre. Heaps of fic about them being buddies as kids. Lots about them being teenagers and getting together for the first time. Some, though not as much as I'd like, about them after the end of the first season, rebuilding their friendship.
The problem is that what I really want to read today is fic where they're in their twenties and thirties, with an established relationship and no sneaking around or being teased by their parents, because they are adults.
So far I've found none. (Recs gratefully accepted!)
What I've mostly found is post-season 1 fic that looks like this.
"Oh, Lin!" cried Tenzin, "now that we're on speaking terms for the first time in a decade, and Pema has done her duty in repopulating the Air Nomads, I feel it's time to leave her for you! You can take your rightful place raising my children, and Pema will no doubt fade gracefully into the background."
"Having no self-respect, that sounds like a fantastic offer to me! Let's make fun of Pema's disgusting fertility, while also making sure my own self-worth revolves around your children."
"Brilliant! Only a bender can raise proper bending children, you know, which is how our mothers turned out so badly."
"So what you're saying is that Pema's an Equalist?"
"More evil than Amon, yes."
AND THEN THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Sadly there doesn't seem to be a Linzin How I Became Yours ... YET. But I suspect it's only a matter of time.
