[Legend of Korra] why live on the edge when you can jump (Lin/Tenzin)

Title: why live on the edge when you can jump

Length: 2771 words
Prompt: Written for lizbee. I'd really love some fic about a younger Tenzin and Lin having adventures and being a couple -- an established couple in their mid to late twenties, adults with their own lives. Most of the fic around seems to be about the beginning or the end of their relationship, but I'd love a glimpse of the time in between, when it was a functional long-term relationship. WITH ADVENTURES.
Pairing: Lin/Tenzin established
Other: PG for threats and violence. Also archived here.

Excerpt: "I've always wondered what police work would be like," Tenzin said. They were sitting on the safe together, Lin's heels making little clicking sounds as she drummed them.
