sdlghdfg i ship this okay.
I SHIP WHAT I WANT TO SHIP
and i blame that one post i saw about jinora possibly having a crush on one of the brothers, and saying “What if the love triangle was actually Jinora/Bolin/Asami or something” ldsgksdlg oh wait, it didn’t say that
it was like:
What if Jinora doesn’t crush on Mako
but instead she crushes on BOLIN
And they end up MARRYING

EDIT [4/9/12]: So it turns out that I can’t blame the post above because I was looking at the post I made of things I was going to write over spring break when the LoK feels hit, and there was Bolinora in it too.
What I wrote:
was i going to write that thing in which jinora crushes on bolin asklfnhdlf omg do i ship that now i literally just thought of that five seconds ago what is my mind doing aslfbdjkfb bolin is like, ten years older than jinora sdalfbhsdfk oh wait, no he’s not because he’s eighteen, and there is no way jinora is eight maybe she’s twelve or something because she kind of looks twelve
Everyone’s probably OOC but sdgjbdsg okay
SO PEOPLE THAT SHIP MAKORRA. I TAGGED THIS AS MAKORRA BECAUSE THERE IS MAKORRA, BUT IT’S A MINOR PAIRING, SO IF YOU’RE NOT COOL WITH READING BOLINORA, THEN DON’T READ THIS.
sdjkgfgsdklfgnhd i ship bolin with everyone
basami
bolikkinora (platonic makorra shippers)
bolin with jinora when she’s older askldfgdslg

Summary: Jinora is ten and she has a crush on Korra’s Earthbending friend. Bolin is eighteen and not interested, but why is everyone treating him like, “Yeah, you’re gonna end up together someday?” It’d be cute if he was ten too, but askdfgldg he’s of age, dangit. It’s just creepy. ||Timeline-Format|| Eventual Bolinora & Makorra

ten & eighteen
Jinora is ten, not stupid.
For some reason, people seem to think that being ten and being stupid are synonymous, but Jinora begs to differ.
She is extremely well-read, and she can outwit a lot of the older kids that she knows. (Sometimes Korra too.) She is the quiet “good kid” of the family. At school, she’s the head of her class and the best Airbender of all her father’s students at home. She has a lot going for her, but because of how smart she is, Jinora doesn’t always act like a typical ten-year-old girl.
But no matter how smart she is, Jinora still can’t control her emotions all that well. She’s a typical ten-year-old girl in that way, at least, having little girl crushes on older boys.
Jinora doesn’t tell anyone about her crush.
The first time they meet, Korra brings him and his brother home for dinner. He’s polite and funny. He smiles at Jinora when Korra introduces them, and he compliments her hair. For the first time since Korra started living with them, Jinora puts down her book for dinner.
She knows she’ll probably grow out of it pretty soon, but the thing about him is that he’s really nice and he smells nice and he treats her like a grown-up and she sort of doesn’t want to grow out of it.
Ikki has no clue, thank the spirits.
If she knows, it’d be all over Air Temple Island about how her big sister likes Korra’s cute Earthbending friend.

Bolin doesn’t know what to say when Korra walks up to him after training one day and says, “So, Jinora’s kind of got a thing for you, and,” She makes a weird noise. “you better not break her fragile ten-year-old heart or I will somehow justify how kicking your butt is part of my Avatar duties.”
Bolin likes to say later that he was calm and handled it really well, but in reality, it’s more like this:
He chokes on the water he’s drinking and coughs for five minutes. When he recovers, he looks at Korra with wide eyes. “She what?!”
Korra repeats herself, rolling her eyes. Then, she flashes a little smile, “I think it’s kind of cute, to be honest. I had no idea that Jinora was interested in anything other than books.”
“How do you even know?” Bolin yelps, his cool and non-uptight persona slipping in his shock. “Please tell me you’re making this up!”
“She seriously likes you,” The brunette shrugs, lifting her hands in a ‘what can you do?’ manner. “And I kind of figured it out at dinner last week when she put down her book for dinner, which I haven’t seen her do once, and she kept giving you these looks,” Her eyebrows waggles and Korra grins widely. “I commend you; Jinora’s pretty hard to get close to.”
“She’s ten,” Bolin says, his green eyes looking up at the ceiling desperately, as if something up there can prevent him from having this conversation. “Ten.”
“And you’re eighteen,” Korra raises an eyebrow. “Are we done stating the obvious?”
“She’s not serious about this,” Bolin sounds as if he’s trying to convince himself. “She’s gonna grow out of it.”
“Yeah, I’ll work on convincing her it’s a hopeless crush, and you just try not to flirt with girls where she’ll see you,” She sends a sharp look his way. “If she gets heartbroken because you can’t keep it in your pants, I’m gonna sic your brother on you.”
“I’m so confused right now,” Bolin admits.
Korra shrugs again, “I don’t know why, but Mako can apparently get along with kids and I’m just gonna sic him on you if you break Jinora’s heart.”
“She’s ten.” Bolin repeats, as if repeating it will somehow make Jinora’s crush on him go away.

One day after dinner, Korra knocks on Jinora’s door. She peers into the room cautiously when she hears the quiet voice granting her permission to enter. When she sees Jinora curled up on her bed with a history book, she steps into her room.
“Hey Jinora.” Korra sings, and the younger girl looks up from her book.
“Hello Korra.” Jinora greets with a shy smile. “Did you need something?”
“Just wanted to talk.” Korra sits down on Jinora’s bed. “So you’re at that age, where you might start liking guys…”
Jinora gives a small squeak and hides her face in her book. Korra notices with grim satisfaction Jinora seems much more at ease discussing Korra’s love life than her own.
“And so you should know that Bolin is a nice guy, but he breaks hearts,” Korra holds up a hand when Jinora meekly protests. “You’re too young for him right now, Jinora, so just kind of remember that.”
“Dad’s sixteen years older than Mom.” Jinora says weakly. “Eight years isn’t that bad.”
Korra laughs. “It’s bad when one of you happens to be ten.”
