Korralin is the femslash ship between Lin and Korra from the The Legend of Korra fandom.
Canon[]
Korra first met Lin Beifong when she arrived in Republic City and was arrested for the damage she caused while fighting a group of members of the Triple Threat Triad. Lin was not impressed that Korra was the Avatar and was unwilling to let her go free until Tenzin entered the room and convinced her to drop the charges. Later, when Tarrlok held a gala in Korra's honor, Lin showed up but still insisted that Korra had done nothing to deserve it.
After a threat from Amon, the council was about to cancel the pro-bending finals until Lin burst into the room and convinced them to simply increase security. Korra was grateful, but Lin just walked by, ignoring her. Korra asked Tenzin what her grudge was about and finally realized that Tenzin had dated Lin before dumping her for Pema. Later, Lin watched Korra during her pro-bending match and was surprised that a peaceful guy like Aang had been reincarnated into her. Tenzin insisted that Lin could get along with Korra if she just gave her a chance. Later, the Equalists attacked, and Lin managed to save Korra from falling twice. Korra thanked her and Lin told her not to worry.
After the tournament, Korra found out that Hiroshi Sato was an Equalist, and Lin helped her investigate. They were later caught in a trap, and Lin suffered injuries that required her to be hospitalized. Korra was eventually captured by Tarrlok, though Amon was framed for it. Lin heard that Korra had been captured while she was in the hospital listening to the radio. She left the hospital and broke Korra's friends out of jail to go look for her. They eventually found her and Lin asked her where they were and how she had escaped.
After Korra rested and recovered, she finally sat down and told Lin and Tenzin everything. Later that day, the Equalists managed to take over Republic City. Korra and Team Avatar went into hiding while Lin left with Tenzin's family. However, the Equalists were gaining on them, so Lin turned back to stop them and was captured. Amon offered to let Lin keep her bending if she told him where Korra was, but Lin refused, so he took it away.
When Korra rescued Tenzin, she asked where Lin was, but he said he didn't know. After Amon was defeated, Lin found out that Korra had also lost her bending and comforted her, saying that she could not believe that Amon had gotten her as well. Lin accompanied Korra to the South Pole while Katara tried to heal her. Katara came out and said that she could not restore Korra's bending. Lin pleaded that there must be a way, but Katara had already tried everything. Korra eventually regained her bending and was able to restore Lin's bending as well. Lin thanked Korra for her help.
Korra and Lin did not interact much during the Unalaq crisis. When Korra returned to Republic City, Lin sarcastically congratulated her on starting a war and complained about a peace protest she had caused. After the Harmonic Convergence, Korra and president Raiko got into a heated argument until Lin stepped between them and ended it.
Lin eventually found out that Zaheer and his group had escaped from prison. Lin personally went to Ba Sing Se to retrieve Lin, as she felt that Korra was in imminent danger. Lin insisted that Korra return to Republic City where she could protect her, but Korra refused to leave because the Earth Queen was holding a group of airbenders hostage. Lin helped her rescue the airbenders so she would leave. Korra later learned of another airbender in Zaofu, and Lin reluctantly followed her there.
Lin asked Korra not to tell anyone that Lin was there, and Korra complied until the truth-seer Aiwei forced the truth out of her. Korra learned about Lin's half-sister and found her to be nice. Later things got heated when Lin yelled at her shy niece Opal and Korra told her that she would be moody and alone for the rest of her life. This made Lin cry. Lin later yelled at some guards for standing around while terrorists were after Korra. Korra later checked on Lin and found her stumbling around, but Lin insisted that she was fine.
The Red Lotus managed to sneak into Zaofu at night and tried to kidnap Korra. Luckily, everyone around grouped up and put a stop to it. Lin swooped in and held Korra while the others stopped the Red Lotus. Lin questioned Su about how they got in. Korra wanted to go after Aiwei, the traitor, but Lin insisted that she return to Republic City. Su got Korra to agree, but helped her sneak out to go after Aiwei. Lin was furious with Su for this and went after Korra.
The Red Lotus eventually captured all the airbenders at the Northern Air Temple and demanded that Korra turn herself in or they would be wiped out. Korra announced her decision to turn herself in, and Lin immediately protested, but Korra had already made up her mind. When it was revealed that they were double-crossing her, Lin and Su jumped in and tried to save her, almost succeeding until Zaheer unlocked his ability to fly and flew off with her. Later, Lin watched as Korra was dying from the poison and Zaheer cackled that it was too late. Lin watched worriedly as Su metalbended the poison out of her body. Three weeks later, the two went to Jinora's mastery ceremony and earthbended a wheelchair-bound Korra up a flight of stairs. Korra was in a very weak state, but Lin put a hand on her shoulder and told her to hold on.
Fanon[]
Fans have been shipping Korra and Lin together since the two started getting along after the pro-bending tournament. People started shipping them more when Lin left the hospital and later sacrificed her bending to protect Korra. When Lin kneeled in front of Korra to restore her bending, many fans commented that it almost looked like Lin was proposing to Korra. Although Korra was already dating Mako at that time, they soon broke up in Book Two. Despite the age difference, a lot of fans ship them together and a lot of fan fiction has been written about them in the hurt/comfort area.
