Okay, I could maaaaybe be okay with Lin deciding to adopt a kid; normally I would find "all women must be mothers to have fulfilling lives" even more barftastic than "everybody needs a romance", but I could see it as a plausible coming-to-terms with Toph's parenting, to decide to be a single mom herself.
I could totally write the Lin/Bumi story if I like got that pairing in a fic exchange or something... he was always jealous of Tenzin blah blah blah, there's basically a script for the "dating the wrong brother" trope. I mean, ugh, I'm not saying I want to see it on the show, just that it doesn't actually seem too far outside the realm of possibility for the show that thought that the Makorrasami triangle and Bolin/Eska were good ideas.
Haha, if someone told me I absolutely had to pair Lin with *somebody*, I'd write Lin/Mako, I've seen that story a zillion times in slash (the grizzled older warrior melting despite themself for the young idealist etc) and we almost never get it in het. Either the comedy version where he keeps trying to fix her up and they post-mortem all her terrible dates or the serious version where they're hurt/comforting in a cave or whatever.
