How they would react if... They see you crying

Including -> Neteyam, Lo'ak, Kiri, Neytiri, Jake, Miles, and Tsireya.

If Neteyam saw you crying, he would probably be very concerned and try to find out what was wrong. He would likely approach you in a caring and gentle manner, trying to comfort you and offer his support. As someone who cares deeply about his loved ones, Neteyam would be distressed to see you upset and would do everything he could to help you feel better. He might try to distract you with a joke or a story, or just listen attentively as you talk about your feelings.

You were sitting on the beach, tears streaming down your face as you tried to make sense of the hurt and betrayal you were feeling. You didn't notice when Neteyam approached, his footsteps quiet on the sand.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice gentle as he sat down beside you.

You sniffled and shook your head, unable to put your feelings into words. Neteyam wrapped an arm around you and pulled you close, letting you cry on his shoulder.

"It's okay, I'm here for you," he whispered, rubbing soothing circles on your back. "Whatever it is, we'll figure it out together."

You nodded, feeling a small sense of comfort wash over you as you leaned into Neteyam's embrace. You told him about the pain and heartache you were feeling, and he listened attentively, offering words of support and encouragement.

Eventually, the tears slowed and you were able to compose yourself. Neteyam held you until you were ready to stand, and then helped you to your feet.

"Thanks, Neteyam," you said, sniffling as you wiped away the last of your tears.

"Of course," he replied, giving you a small smile. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

If Lo'ak saw you crying, he might initially feel unsure of how to react. He would ultimately want to do whatever he could to help you feel better. He might try to comfort you by saying something kind or offering a hug, or he might simply listen to you. Lo'ak would likely feel deeply empathetic towards you, and would want to do whatever he could to support you. He might try to make you laugh with a silly joke. Even if he wasn't sure how to fix the problem, Lo'ak would want to be there for you and support you in any way he could.

Lo'ak sat on the edge of the bed, watching as tears streamed down your face. He had never seen you cry before, and it broke his heart to see you so distressed.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly, reaching out to brush a tear from your cheek.

"I don't know," you sobbed, shaking your head. "I just feel so overwhelmed. Everything feels so heavy and I don't know how to cope."

Lo'ak's face softened as he gathered you into his arms, holding you close. "I'm here for you," he murmured, rubbing soothing circles on your back. "You can tell me anything, and I'll always be here to listen and support you."

He could feel you starting to calm down, and he smiled gently. "I know you're feeling down, but can I tell you a joke? It might help cheer you up a little."

You sniffled, nodding your head.

"Okay," Lo'ak said, clearing his throat. "Why did the Na'vi stop using traditional hunting methods?"

You looked at him quizzically, and he chuckled. "Because they found out they could just Na'vi-gate to the Hell's gate and steal human's food."

You let out a small laugh, and Lo'ak grinned, pulling you in for another hug. "I'll always be here for you," he whispered. "You're never alone."

If Kiri saw you crying, she would probably approach you with a caring and compassionate demeanor. She would try to comfort you and ask what was wrong, offering her support and assistance in any way she could. Kiri would likely be deeply affected by seeing someone she cares about in distress, and would do everything in her power to help you feel better. She might suggest taking a walk or spending some time in nature, as she believes that being surrounded by the beauty of Pandora can help to heal the soul.

Kiri walked through the lush forest of Pandora, her eyes scanning the ground for any signs of her friend. She knew something was wrong when she saw the tracks leading away from the village, and she followed them until she found you.

You were sitting on a fallen tree, your shoulders shaking with sobs as tears streamed down your face. Kiri's heart ached at the sight, and she rushed over to your side, wrapping her arms around you in a comforting embrace.

"What's wrong?" Kiri asked softly, her voice full of concern.

You couldn't find the words to explain, but Kiri didn't need them. She simply held you tight, letting you cry as she stroked your hair and whispered soothing words of comfort.

After a while, your sobs began to subside, and Kiri helped you to your feet. "Come on," she said gently. "Let's take a walk and enjoy the beauty of Pandora. It always helps me feel better."

You nodded, and the two of you set off on a leisurely stroll through the forest. Kiri pointed out the different plants and animals, and told stories about her adventures. You found yourself smiling and laughing, despite the pain that lingered in your heart.

As the sun began to set, Kiri led you back to the village. "I'm here for you, always," she said, giving you a hug.

If Neytiri saw you crying, she would likely approach you with a concerned and compassionate demeanor. She would try to comfort you and ask what was wrong, offering her support and assistance in any way she could. Just like Neteyam, Neytiri would be deeply affected by seeing someone she cares about in distress, and would do everything in her power to help you feel better.

Neytiri was walking through the village of Metkayina when she saw you, sitting on the ground and crying. She immediately rushed over to you, concern etched on her face.

"What's wrong?" she asked gently, crouching down beside you and placing a hand on your shoulder.

You sniffled, trying to compose yourself as you explained the reason for your tears. Neytiri listened intently, offering words of comfort and understanding. She wrapped her arms around you in a comforting embrace, letting you cry on her shoulder as she tried to ease your pain.

"Do not worry, I am here for you," Neytiri said softly. "I will help you in any way I can. You are not alone." You took a deep breath and began to open up about all the struggles and challenges you had been facing. Neytiri listened attentively, offering words of comfort and advice when needed. And by the time you were finished, you felt a little bit lighter, knowing that you had someone who cared about you and was willing to listen.

Neytiri gave you a warm smile and squeezed your hand. "I'm here for you," she said. "Whenever you need someone to talk to, I'm always here to listen." As you began to calm down, Neytiri led you to a nearby stream, where she gently wiped away your tears and helped you compose yourself. She remained by your side, offering support and guidance as you worked through your emotions.

If Jake saw you crying, he would likely approach you with a concerned and protective demeanor. He would try to comfort you and ask what was wrong, offering his support and assistance in any way he could. Jake is fiercely protective of those he cares about and he would be distressed to see you upset. He might suggest talking about your feelings or distracting you with a favorite activity, or simply offering a comforting embrace and listening attentively as you talk. Jake would also likely do whatever he could to address the cause of your tears and ensure that you feel safe and supported.

Jake walked into the hut and immediately noticed that you were crying. He rushed over to your side, his brow furrowed with concern.

"What's wrong?" he asked gently, taking your hand in his.

You sniffled, trying to compose yourself. "I-I don't know," you stammered. "I just feel so overwhelmed and stressed. Everything seems to be going wrong."

Jake wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a comforting embrace. "It's okay," he said soothingly. "We'll figure this out together. You're not alone."

He held you for a few moments, letting you cry it out, before gently suggesting that you go for a walk with him. "Sometimes getting some fresh air and moving around can help clear your mind," he said.

As you walked, Jake listened attentively as you talked about your feelings and your struggles. He offered words of encouragement and support, and made sure to let you know that he was there for you.

"I promise you, everything will work out," he said, squeezing your hand. "We'll get through this together."

----

(if you have a good gif for Miles, please let me know ! I'm unable to find one)

If Miles saw you crying, he would be concerned and try to comfort you. He would want to be there for you in your time of need and do whatever he could to help you feel better. This might involve offering words of comfort and support, or simply being there to listen and offer a shoulder to cry on.

Miles was walking home from a hike in the Pandoran forest when he heard the sound of sobbing coming from the direction of his hut. He quickened his pace, worried that something might be wrong. When he entered, he saw you sitting on the couch, tears streaming down your face.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Miles asked, rushing over to you and kneeling down in front of you.

"I just had a really tough," you said, sniffling. "I feel like no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get ahead. I'm just so frustrated and exhausted."

"Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry," Miles said, pulling you into a hug. "I had no idea you were feeling so down. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I didn't want to burden you," you add. "I know you have a lot on your plate too."

"You're never a burden to me," Miles said firmly. "I love you and I want to be there for you whenever you need me. I'm here for you, no matter what."

Miles held you as you cried, offering words of comfort and support.

"Feeling any better?" Miles asked, rubbing your back soothingly.

"A little," you said, sniffling. "Thanks for being there for me. You always know just what to say and do to make me feel better."

"I'll always be here for you," Miles said, kissing your forehead. "You can count on me, always."

If Tsireya saw you crying, she would be concerned and compassionate, and would try to comfort you and support you in any way that she could. Tsireya is a kind and caring person, and she values strong and supportive relationships. She would want to be there for you and to help you through whatever was causing you to feel upset or emotional. She might ask you what was wrong and try to listen to you and understand your feelings. She might offer you a hug or a comforting touch, or try to find other ways to make you feel more at ease. She might also try to distract you or to find ways to make you laugh, in order to lift your spirits and help you to feel better.

You were feeling overwhelmed and upset, and you couldn't hold back your tears any longer. You tried to wipe them away, but it was no use. Tsireya noticed you crying and immediately walked over to you, a concerned look on her face.

"What's wrong?" she asked, gently placing a hand on your shoulder. "Is there something you want to talk about?"

You sniffled and nodded, unable to get the words out. Tsireya wrapped an arm around you and led you to a quiet corner, where we could sit and talk in private.

"It's okay," she said, rubbing your back soothingly. "Whatever it is, I'm here for you. Just take your time and tell me what's going on."

You took a deep breath and tried to compose yourself, grateful for Tsireya's presence and support. She listened patiently as you poured out your feelings, never judging or interrupting. When you were finished, Tsireya hugged you tight and told you that she was proud of you for being brave enough to open up and share your thoughts.

"You're not alone," she said, her eyes shining with kindness. "I'll always be here to support you and help you through whatever comes your way."

Healing Warmth

Summary: When you’re sick, Spider makes a great cuddle buddy.

Prompt #10 for my submission for #𝐂𝐫𝐲𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐬𝟏𝟒𝐃𝐎𝐋𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒

Story Tags: No use of Y/N, Female Reader, Human Reader, Established Relationship, Sick Reader, Spider loves cuddles, Spider radiates heat, Change my mind

Author’s Note: A long time ago, my first ex did this while I was sick, and I felt so loved despite being a sick mess at the time that I wanted to share this with you all. Also, remember, Spider is a sixteen-year-old boy who doesn’t know the healing arts of the Omatikaya so he’s trying his best.

AO3 Link

“I’m fine,” you protested vehemently for the fifth time in thirteen minutes and twenty seconds before a round of violent coughing stormed malevolently up from your lungs and sliced your throat from the inside to add insult to injury. You doubled over beneath your many blankets, curling in on yourself as you choked and gasped and coughed some more until your body was trembling and you felt weak to the point of wanting to pass out. You refused to meet Spider’s knowing dark chocolate gaze and huffed weakly as you slowly slumped back onto your bed. Unfortunately, this – your terrible illness, what usually went by the term ‘head cold’ around the human encampment, which was stupid because you felt it throughout your whole body and not just in your head – was expected because you always without fail got sick annually for, like, two and a half to maybe three weeks when the weather of the Omatikayan forests turned cooler. And you’d already been feeling under the weather for at least a week, though this was the worst of it, so far.

It wasn’t fair.

Spider hardly ever got sick. Not even when he spent time around you while your fever was high, and you felt like you were dying. And even when good ol’ Norm tried to cheer you up at your bedside by explaining that Spider had different chromosomes and genetic makeup that was a little more effective against human ailments than you did, you would just groan and toss a pillow at your adoptive uncle. Good naturedly, of course because the tall human male was a nerd, but you loved him dearly anyway.

“Wanna try that again, my silly little girl?” Spider smirked, crossing his arms over his chest and raising a brow at you.

You flipped him off, your arm trembling when you raised it in his direction.

Spider just laughed, knowing you didn’t actually mean it and uncrossed his arms, coming towards you and crawling up onto your bed until he could flop beside you on top of all of the covers. You groaned at the sudden weight pressing against your over sensitive body but twisted onto your side, anyway, allowing the tall boy to curl up behind you. Your body soaked up the heat radiating off of him like a sponge and it did make you feel better… a little. Of course, that could have also been wishful thinking, too, wanting to spend the day with the boy you cared for deeply, even if you were ill. Still, you knew he had plans today, like most days, and you decided to remind him, just in case he had forgotten. That’s what a good girlfriend did, right?

“You’re gonna be late… Lo’ak’s gonna come looking for you soon if you don’t go meet up with him soon,” you murmured to Spider over your shoulder, “and he’s gonna be upset if you cancel.”

The younger Sully son hated when you took Spider’s attention away from him, but you weren’t sure if it was because Lo’ak didn’t have many friends or because of something else…?

You suddenly started to cough again, though not as violently as before, thank Eywa, and curled in tighter on yourself, your lungs temporarily itching deep within your chest cavity with each ounce of air tickling their insides. Spider, unable to do much, hugged you through the blankets and rubbed at your back before reaching over onto your nightstand and handing you your water bottle. He helped you take a sip, encouraging you to continue to suck up the liquid until you moaned in protest. Carefully, he put your water bottle back and eased your body back down onto the mattress, cuddling up into you once again.

“Lo’ak can survive without me for one day,” Spider muttered. “You might perish this time and I refuse to let my girl die on me.” You scoffed, rolling your eyes, even though he couldn’t see it. And really, you actually did love cuddling with him, whenever you could. Your bedroom door opened and – instead of the blue skinned teenager you were expecting – your mother carefully strolled into the dim room with a small medication bottle and a steaming cup of tea, not even blinking when she noticed the sixteen-year-old boy at your back. “Drink this and take these,” she said before looking at Spider, who helped you sit up once more. The older woman commanded him, “Make sure she drinks lots of water whenever she's awake, please. Whenever he comes around, I’ll tell the Sully boy you’re occupied today.” The blonde teen nodded his head, replying, “Yes ma’am. Thank you.” Your mother smiled and took the empty cup from you, adding, “Try to get some sleep – both of you. Sleep will help you heal faster, baby girl.” “Thanks, Mom,” you nodded, and your boyfriend helped you lay down again. “Thanks, Spider,” you whispered as your mother closed the door about 50% of the way. You pulled his arm around your middle and intertwined your fingers together, adding “For taking care of me.” Instead of answering, he hummed and kissed the hinge of your jaw, snuggling closer to you with a soft sight, holding you tight and secure. With his heat seeping into you, and his arm around you, you drifted off as the medication attempted to get your body back to normal, feeling safe and well loved.

[igakc]

Would anyone read a fic where Spider Socorro dies at the end of ATWOW and is reborn into a Na’Vi body, while also being ‘gifted’ to an isolated clan living in the mountains of Pandora?

It’ll consist of a lot of hallucinations of the Sully family, Spider’s confusion as to why he’s missing people he doesn’t remember, and Quaritch searching for his son that he doesn’t know is dead.

[anangelwhodidntfall]

Dad!Quaritch doesn’t comprehend how his size is terrifying.

I can see maybe early in their relationship, Quaritch would try to be more physical (I.e. patting readers back with his huge hang, giving her hugs, or even picking her up).

This absolutely terrifies reader, it only reinforces how small and helpless she is against him. She’s definitely too nervous to tell him that she doesn’t like it so someone else would have to step in (likely Jake) and tell Quaritch how uncomfortable reader is

Exactly! I imagine that he still hasn't grasped that he isn't 5'10(that's according to the Wiki page) and forgets that he's actually almost 10ft tall and given his qualities he comes off 10x scarier than say Jake or Neytiri do. With Spider being 6ft and Reader being about 5'2, I can see that he comes off scary to her especially after he kidnapped her and she struggles with that.

Quartich doesn't understand how scary he is because it doesn't seem to affect Spider as much but when he goes to hug her, pick her up, or pat her back, he notices how she flinches and cowards away from his touch. Meanwhile, when Quaritch lifts his hand towards her, all she can think about is when she was taken by her and how mean he was to her, aggressively pointing at the tracking device in her mask, him setting her on the table aggressively when she tried to escape the first time, or when she wouldn't talk to him so he raised his voice at her.

It just reminds her of that time when she was so small and weak against him and constantly thinks that he will return to that man and is scared to tell him out of fear.

Now let's say they were having dinner with the Sully's as they've done since before Quaritch came into their lives and maybe one of the reader's braids fall into her face while she was eating, and her dad noticed and went to move it for her in which she flinched which made him frown as Jake watched the interaction this wasn't the first time he's seen you do this with Quaritch which worried him.

"You know she does that out of fear right?" Jake said Quaritch as they cleaned up.

"Fear? Why would she be afraid?" He asked confused.

"Look I know you are trying with them but you did kidnap them and from the footage, at first you weren't so nice with them so given that and your height, I think you have your answer." Jake said as realization hit Quaritch.

"I didn't even realize that. Is there anything I can do to make her less afraid of me?" He asked Jake as he watched you talk with Kiri.

"You could try to talk to her and reassure her that you aren't like that but just give it time." Jake said.

Quaritch made his way over to where you and Kiri were at, and thought about how to bring it up without scaring you off. Kiri was the first to notice him and said she would see you later before running off.

"Hey, is everything okay?" You asked looking up at him.

"Yeah, I just wanted to talk to you about something, if that's alright?" He asked.

"Yeah that's fine, could you sit down though? I'm hurting my neck here trying to look at you." You said making him laugh as he took a seat next to you.

"Are you afraid of me? Is that why you flinch when I touch you?" He asked you.

"If I'm being honest, yes." You said to him.

"Can I ask why? I'm just trying to understand here and if I can fix it?" He said.

"Umm I don't know if you realized it but your like 9ft and I'm only 5ft but between that and the aggressively mean personality you showed us when we first met you know the pointing and throwing when were prisoners. I'm still trying to work through it's just that when you go to hug me or whatever, I worry your gonna hit me, and it just reminds me of a time when I wasn't your daughter but a small and weak prisoner." You said to him.

"Oh sweetheart, I never realized that. I'm sorry for scaring you like that, I just want to show you some affection like I see Jake do with his daughter is all. Is there anything I can do to help you?" He asked shocking you.

"Um, do you think maybe you could ask or announce that your gonna touch me before you do it? I think that might help me not be so afraid of you." You said as he nodded his head.

"Do you think I could hug you now?" He asked as you nodded your head feeling him wrap his arms wrap around you.

*Some scenes that come to mind when I think of reader being scared of him*

[mechformers]

Could I request spider x gn reader where reader as general anxiety and was human but got put in an avatar body indefinitely because they were dying it traumatised them and sometimes they dissociate a bit because of it and when they get kidnapped they get really anxious and stressed and they stay close to spider but when they get separated they stay closer to quaritch due to him reminding them of spiderthey self sooth by sucking there thumb, if it could just be fluffy please, thank you hope you have a good day/night

Absolutely! Thank you so much for your request <3

I don't know if this is anything close to what you had envisioned when sending your request, but it was so much fun to write. The reader maybe reads a bit more traumatized than what you asked for, but their dynamic with Quaritch was just too good to lose out on, so... <3

You're alright, kiddo...

2074 words

SFW / Platonic Spider & gn!Reader + Quaritch & gn!Reader (blink and you’ll miss it Sider & Quaritch) Tw: gn!Reader, terminal illness before being transferred into an avatar, anxious reader, PTSD, thumb sucking as self-comforting, disassociating, selective mutism, food/eating, Quaritch is soft and kind to the kids (fight me lol)

You didn’t know what hit you when all of a sudden, your queue was grabbed hard and you were pulled backward. The Sully kids and Spider all screamed and hissed as they too were taken, but as you were all forced to your knees, all you could focus on was the huge man that sauntered into the little group, his sneer sending chills down your spine. You try your best to stay quiet, to cooperate, just like Jake Sully had always taught the kids to do, but you could feel yourself slipping. 

“What’s wrong with…” The big man, the Colonel, asked the Na’vi behind you when you started shaking. 

“Them,” Spider barked, fighting the hold on his own hair. 

“Uh-huh…” The Colonel hummed lazily, “What’s wrong with them?”

“They’re afraid, alright, so step away and give them some space already,” Spider sneers back, still fighting his hold. 

“Nice try, kid,” The Colonel huffs before turning his back on you to focus on Lo’ak instead. 

You don’t register what’s being said or what happens. The only thing you know is that it’s getting darker and then, Neytiri calls out to her children. Relief floods you as you realize that you’ll be saved, that you’ll get to sleep in your own nest and be with your own people. The next thing you register is running as loud noises and flashes of light bombard you from all sides. Neytiri and Jake are both shouting, and the Colonel answers them with a cold chuckle. Your hand is grabbed hard as Spider pulls you along from your cowering position by a tree, the undergrowth disappearing quickly as you get to higher ground, seemingly running for your life. There’s a loud noise behind you, a flash of orange light, and then everything goes dark. 

-

“Y/n? Y/n, are you alright?” Spider’s voice calls to you, but your ears are ringing so loudly, you just whine in response. 

This was easily ten times worse than waking up in your new avatar body ever had been. The memory, however, still makes you nauseous. You had never wanted to be transferred into this avatar body, yet, here you were while your own body was somewhere else entirely. Maybe you should have been happy that you got this second chance, but living with the Na’vi, with the scientists, after you were abandoned on Pandora, was anything but easy. You didn’t quite fit into the Na’vi way of life. You were weak, quiet, anxious… Yet, somehow stuck there with them all.

“Hey, Y/n, come on back to me,” Spider urged, making you open your eyes, only to quickly close them again. 

The lights were so bright in the room you were in, the floor cold and rough against your skin. You didn’t know how long you had been out or how much time had passed since you were taken. The only thing you knew was that Neytiri and Jake weren’t here, that this wasn’t home or anywhere close to it. You were sitting below a huge table with Spider, the older boy holding you close as he tried to connect with you. 

“Listen up, kid,” The Colonel hums as he steps into the room, the massive glass doors swishing open and then shut, “The deal is this; we gotta learn how to do this Na’vi stuff. Now, I know you said you won’t betray the Sullys, and I respect that. But I need an answer,”

“What if I don’t have an answer for you?” Spider spits back, the distaste so clear in his voice. 

“Then I gotta give you back to the lab coats,” The Colonel drawls before pinning Spider with a look, “They’re asking for you both this time,” 

“Guess there’s not much of a choice then,” Spider huffs angrily as he crosses his arms above his chest. 

“Guess there ain’t,” The Colonel smiles smugly before mirroring Spider and crossing his own arms over his chest. “So who’s your friend there?”

“They’re one of the orphans from the village,” Spider starts, stepping before you to block the Colonel’s way. “Their body got sick some years ago, so the scientists made them an avatar so that they could survive,”

The Colonel hums before sucking his teeth, his crossed arms shifting his hold before he looks past Spider to where you still sit under the table. His eyes make your skin crawl with the way you feel as if he sees straight through you. The need to be closer to Spider, closer to someone safe, eventually forces you to reach out for the older boy. The end of his tweng is what you grab a hold of, the worn material grounding in its own way as it’s stuck to Spider’s person. 

“You’re scaring them, skxawng,” Spider sighs as he steps closer to the table so that you don’t have to stretch your arms out to him. 

The Colonel stares at Spider for a long while before stepping back and getting down to one knee with a heavy grunt. Resting his arms on his bent knee, he leans forward, eyes looking for yours. They’re sharp and calculating, but to your surprise, they’re filled with curiosity instead of the cruelty you were expecting. 

“You alright there, kiddo?” The Colonel asks, his voice husky. 

“They don’t speak much,” Spider sighs, but the Colonel doesn’t pay him any mind. 

Unable to meet his eyes, you nod your head instead. The way he looks at you is stressing you out, your anxiety levels rising steadily as he stares. Eventually, he gets up on his feet, mumbling something to Spider before the doors swish open and shut again. It doesn’t take long before Spider’s head bends down to look at you too, his smile gentle. 

“Still good, Y/n?” He asks while squatting down to your level. 

“Yeah,” You croak, your throat tight, “Thanks,”

“Don’t know if you heard it, but we’re moving out later,” Spider explains slowly, making sure that each word registers, “He’s getting us some food, are you hungry?”

“I’m starving,” In time with your words, your stomach rumbles loudly, making Spider chuckle as a grin spreads on his face. 

“I guess you are,” Spider hums before getting up again. 

This time though, he takes your hand, squeezing it tightly as he sits on the tabletop. It’s an awkward position to sit in with your hand raised like that, but when he squeezes it, it settles something within you, making your anxiety dissipate somewhat. You don’t notice it when you start drifting, but when you come to again, the Colonel is sitting in the corner by the door as he chats with Spider. The older boy is still holding your hand while he eats with his other. He’s seemingly enjoying the conversation, his face breaking out in a grin as he chuckles at the Colonel. 

“Ah, there they are,” The Colonel hums, his sharp eyes greeting yours when you look up at him, “Brought you some food,” 

The Colonel's eyes turn almost gentle as his eyes drop to the thumb in your mouth, his head tilting curiously as his ears rotate toward you. Immediately, you pull your thumb out, clenching your hand around it as you feel your face heat. The Colonel tuts, his husky voice gentle when he speaks again. 

“It’s alright to suck your thumb, kiddo,” He hums, his eyebrows furrowing in deep thought for a moment. “Does it make you feel better? Safer?”

Nodding your head, you’re unable to see his expression. The Colonel hums gently and just like that, the room falls silent. Spider hands you what surprisingly turns out to be diced yovo fruit and sure enough, when you put the first cube in your mouth, the sweetness of the fruit explodes. Humming with happiness, you chew the cubed fruit until you’re full, eventually daring a low “Thank you, Sir,” which earns you another one of those gentle smiles. 

As far as kidnappings go, you guess this one isn’t the worst. You’re treated well and the recoms, the entire unit, do what they can to protect both Spider and you. It’s probably why it takes you by complete surprise when the angry General pushes the recom unit out on a mission they’re not yet ready to embark on. For the past few months, Spider has been teaching the recom unit the Na’vi way, preparing them for what Pandora had to throw their way once they were alone in the jungle that surrounded the area. Apparently, the General had been fed up with waiting, her angry narrowed eyes demanding results that even you knew wouldn’t come. 

Still, the recom unit obeyed the orders, which was what led you to be in the situation you were now in. Distressed and spiraling, sucking your thumb for comfort, you crouch by the hollow opening of a tree root as the furious thanator the recom unit had stepped upon runs around the area, furiously protecting its territory. In the chaos that erupted when it attacked, Spider lost the hold on your hand, his body being pushed away from yours as the recoms pushed at the two of you to move forward, shouting for you to run, to get away. It hadn’t taken long before you were separated, each one of you spread around the forest as you tried to escape the predator. 

Before you know it, you’re pulled out of your hiding spot, strong, huge arms wrapping tightly around you as you’re gathered up to wrap your legs around a strong waist. Locking your legs behind the recom’s back, you cling to him as if your life depends on it as he takes the both of you through the forest, sprinting further and further away until suddenly, the thanator stops and turns, the intruders - you - out of its territory. Breathing heavily, the recom cups the back of your head, pressing your face into the crook of his shoulder as he comes to a stop. 

“You’re alright, kiddo…” Quaritch rasps, his voice windy as he turns in circles, “You’re alright,”

“Are you hurt?” The question registers, but you’re unable to reply to it, your heart still racing in your chest. 

“Y/n, are you hurt?” Quaritch asks again, this time more gently, but with an underlying urgency. 

When you still can’t reply, he gently peels you off of him, sitting you down on a rock as he checks for injuries. Eventually, when he’s pleased, you’re lifted up into his arms again. Quaritch’s own heart is beating frantically, even through his vest, but that doesn’t stop him from reacting. His first priority seems to be to get you as high up in the air as possible, something that doesn’t come easy when they haven’t trained much on climbing. At least he isn’t wearing the boots anymore, which makes the whole thing a little bit easier. Only when he’s reached the highest branches does he stop to sit down, his long legs spread on each side of the thick branch as he takes a moment to just breathe. 

“Iron Sky, Blue one, actual,” Quaritch rumbles as he presses the device on his neck, “Requesting extraction,” 

You listen as he talks to whoever is on the other side, the hums and grunts rumbling through his chest as you try your best to calm your nerves. A big hand cups your head, gently pressing it to Quaritch’s chest, making you look up into sharp yellow eyes. There’s a soft smile on his lips as he looks down at you before he looks out over the jungle below. There are sounds all around you from smaller animals, birds chirping as they communicate in the neighboring trees, no doubt telling each other about the two Na’vi in their territory. 

Taking a deep breath, you relax your head against Quaritch’s chest before letting it out. Although you know that he’s a bad man, you can’t help but feel safe as his arms hold you protectively against him, making sure that nothing or no one can hurt you. Your feet hurt and you’re tired, sleepy even. Lifting the hand closest to Quaritch to your lips, you gently slip your thumb into your mouth. It’s immediately soothing in a way you have never been able to explain, and when his thumb starts stroking your head where he cups it, it doesn’t take long before your eyes close and then… you sleep safely wrapped up in protective arms.

Colors of Pandora Day 5: Blue

Pairing: None (Spider Centric)

Warnings: Sadness/Depression, Feelings of not being good enough

Word Count: 704

Spider has spent his entire life surrounded by blue.

The blue tinged lights that brighten the otherwise sterile looking lab. The holograms and workstation monitors whose default color is a glowing aqua when displaying valuable scientific knowledge that he can’t even dream of understanding.

He’s not a scientist, he wouldn’t even consider himself actually human if he could help it.

His home is outside in the wild jungle of the Omatikaya lands. It’s more green than blue outside, but he can still see the incredible sight of the sky and the moons orbiting the same moon he calls home if he climbs high enough to see through the tops of the trees.

At least he could . . . before the war.

Pandora is his home, his fortress, the place he loves with his entire heart that houses the people he cares about most. But now, here, it's like he barely recognizes it at all.

Tsireya says it will take time to adjust and to trust that Eywa will give him the strength it takes to do it. That he can find his place among the clan just like the rest of the Sullys did.

The sea is your home, before your birth and after your death.

The color blue is freedom. Freedom with scientific discoveries or freedom in one’s way of life - each version meaning the difference between life and death despite the cultures and making it one’s life work to honor it.

Here in Awa’atlu the ocean is vast, endless and all encompassing. It’s scary in the same way it's beautiful. The water seems to go on forever, blue as far as his eyes can see in the glistening open space before it meets along the horizon line with the blue of the wide open sky. It reflects all your worth, showing you who you are without mercy, and you can either tread water and swim with your strength, or drown in your fear.

He’s always proven to be up for any challenge in the forest, not willing to let his human body that’s clearly not made to thrive on this moon get in the way of living his life.

But it’s hard.

He’s not a Na’vi, and he’s reminded of that fact each and every day of his life. He’s strong for a human, but not Na’vi strong. He’s quick for a human, but not as quick as Neteyam or Lo’ak. His love for Pandora and all of the life on her is equal to the Na’vi, but what good does that do when all most can ever see is the species he was born as, rather than who he is in his soul?

He sees blue in loyalty. The Na’vi are blue, blue stripes decorating their cobalt skin. Blue is the color of his family and the friends that he’s grown to cherish, and he would do anything to just be considered one of them. He paints his skin with spartan fruit dye, painstakingly painting on stripe after stripe in the hopes of visually showing his loyalty in a way that his other actions weren’t able to. It hasn’t worked yet, Kiri even sometimes likes to tease him about it, but he just brushes her off with a joke to mask his underlying desperation.

He feels blue in the sadness he swallows down as he continues to paint on his skin, darkening the now fading stripes, and he can’t help but wonder if he just adds more - more stripes, more blue - if he would be a little closer to that acceptance he craves.

When he walks on the beaches at night, the blue of the sky has been replaced by black with only the stars to light up the night sky. Blue is his despair as he walks along the sand, trying to convince himself that this new journey here could be different - that he could finally prove himself worthy enough to be one of The People - but feeling in his heart that it’s not. The beaches themselves provide a little light, the bioluminescence under the sand lighting up under his feet with each step as he walks farther and farther away from the village.

It’s blue, he notices. How fitting.

Description: Too human to be seen as Na'vi. Too Na'vi to be accepted as a human. But if Spider is neither, then where did that leave him?

Spider is a Sully. Growing up so different from the rest of his family has left him feeling like an outcast. So when the RDA returns to Pandora and he is kidnapped by a group of Avatars wearing dead people's faces, it's up to Spider to figure out just who he is in the world, or risk losing his home and his family forever.

Take It Easy - What If Spider Never Left Hell's Gate?

Spider always wished he would be able to leave the lab, to finally venture out into the forest he had grown up hearing about. But no, he was stuck inside a metal box with a group of scientists who never batted an eye toward him, other than when he got into trouble, of course.

He knew the rules, and he followed them. Day after day, week after week, year after year. He followed them. He watched the clock tick by from inside the labs, he peered over Norm's shoulder as the older man worked, he even began to study astrology. Max began to call him the Man Of The Stars.

Life fell into a steady rhythm after his sixteenth birthday. He'd wake up and hit the old RDA-made gym, shower, do his long list of chores, and head to work. The rhythm never, ever changed. And he was finally okay with it. He stopped looking out the window, he stopped wondering what mysteries the forest held, and he stopped thinking of the yellow-eyed girl who haunted his dreams.

That was until the rhythm got absolutely fucked up the day Jake Sully walked into the labs. The behemoth Na'Vi entered through the airlock and scared the shit out of Spider, causing him to drop all of his astrology books.

"Dang it. Can you watch where you're fuckin' going, dude? Norm's gonna kill me if I damage these." Spider bent down to pick up the books, flicking his curly hair out of his face with a huff. He flinched slightly as a heavy hand came to rest on his shoulder.

"What did you just say to me, kid?" The human boy's eyes widened as he looked up at Jake. Spider swore that if he had a tail, it would be between his legs at that very moment. "Might want to watch your mouth 'round me."

Spider opened his mouth to reply but it was cut short as he looked at his watch. "Oh for fuck- I'm late for work!" He sprinted off in the opposite direction, leaving Jake alone in the entranceway. The boy leaped over the stray carts and tables, sliding underneath some of the scientist's legs as he made his way to Room.

'Room' was the word he used for the massive gym building that housed everything he needed. There was a jungle gym, a rock-climbing wall, rows and rows of bookshelves, a telescope, and a desk.

On the farthest side of Room, was his art wall. It was covered in colourful paintings that he'd crafted over the years, most of them were of the stars he saw.

Spider set his books down on his desk before walking over to the art wall, setting his hands on his hips as if deep in thought. Over the expanse of his lifetime, he only ever drew the stars, never actually seeing them. He wasn't ever allowed outside of airlock, even on his birthdays. Sure, Norm and Max promised to take him on their supply runs, but every time they left him alone in Room. It was starting to feel like Room was his only friend.

Even though he had left the life of wonderment and curiosity behind, a small part of him still wanted to get out of Room and see the stars. Or see anything, for that matter. Anything but Room, or the labs, or airlock. He wanted to climb something other than the rock wall, he wanted to study something other than the stars in his books, he wanted to be on the other side of airlock.

He wanted to be outside.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spider.. Spider- SPIDER! SPI-

Spider rolled over and smacked Lo'ak over the head with a scowl. His legs were still very much tangled in his sheets, so when he attempted to get out of his bed, he ended up banging his head into the wall with a grunt.

"Hey monkey boy! Dad said we could visit you today." Kiri lifted him up by the back of his neck with a grin. "You sleep in awfully late."

Spider grumbled angrily. He walked over to his chest of draws and pulled out some of Norm's old jean shorts that he had cut himself, pulling them on quickly. They reached just below his knees and were so loose he had to tie a shoestring around his waist. He then donned his tank top to replace it with yet another tank top. But oh- This one was so different! It was just one shade darker than the other! Score.

He then pulled on his shoes and military-issued boots. Nothing seemed to work to cover his teenager stink, so he ended up over-spraying his lynx deodorant. Next was his hair which had been cut into a very unruly mop of curls, which Kiri tied into a man-bun atop his head.

"C'mon bro, show us your life in this.. Shack!" Lo'ak grinned.

Spider rolled his eyes before opening his bedroom door, setting off in the direction of Room in silence. Lo'ak and Kiri were nice and all, but they didn't seem to understand the differences they had. Spider was human, while they were Na'Vi. And to be honest, he didn't really like being around them. All he wanted to do was work and chores, so he could play in Room. That was literally all he needed to do before he got sent back to earth on his eighteenth birthday. He could finally be back where he belonged.

"Uh. This is Room. I work in here most of the time, don't touch anything." Spider pulled the curtains covering his paintings down, inspecting the newest set of stars he'd painted the night before.

Kiri's jaw dropped open in awe. Her thin fingers skimmed over the paint, feeling each groove and dip of the concrete wall. "You painted these all yourself?"

Spider nodded.

"They are very good, Spider. You should keep up with it. Maybe some of the village Elders might want some?"

That drew a pretty loud snort from Spider. "I can't give them away, they're literally etched in stone." He walked forward to stand beside Kiri, his voice lowering to a pained whisper. "There's no real talent here anyway."

Spider, who always saw himself as nothing but an unwilling addition to the humans, never had someone to praise him or congratulate him when he did something good. Spider spent his entire life alone in Room, and at first he told himself that he was worth something.

'Don't worry Spider, Norm doesn't hate you. What he told Max wasn't true!'

'Don't worry Spider, Jake wasn't lying when he said your paintings were good!'

But Norm did hate him, and his paintings were crap. So there was no point convincing himself that he was worth something.

"C'mon bro! These are awesome, definitely better than Tuk's." Lo'ak snickered, slapping Spider on the back. The human boy gritted his teeth together and turned away from the Na'Vi teenagers. They didn't get it, they never could get it. They had parents, they had siblings, they had friends. He had nothing.

"Can you fuck off for once?" The words had left his mouth before he could stop them.

Lo'ak's grin dropped, and Kiri flinched away from him.

An incredible silence settled over the three, and it stretched on for way too many minutes before a voice spoke up on the other side of Room.

"Lo'ak, Kiri. Your mom says its time to go home." Norm poked his head through the double doors. Spider stomped toward the man and shoved him out of the way. He had no clear idea of where he was going, but he knew he couldn't be around them anymore.

It'll get more interesting I promise <3

Chapter 2

[anangelwhodidntfall]

Dad!Quaritch also definitely struggles with seeing his kids as adults. The last time he saw them when he was human too, they were just babies, then they were his hostages and they were reliant on him

Now spider and reader are in their element, they know how things work and how to thrive. But Quaritch looks at them, sees how small they are in comparison to the world around them and can’t help but want to wrap them in bubble wrap. He definitely infringes a bit too much in the name of “keeping his kids safe”

That’s why he’s always picking them up, or trying to stop them from doing certain things. And let’s face it, since reader is smaller (and a girl, even though that shouldn’t matter) he does this way more often with her. But like, they’re grown, they’ve been at this for longer than he has, they know how to survive and it’s kind of insulting to them that he doesn’t seem to trust them to do stuff.

I think Dad!Quaritch struggles a lot with finding a role in his kids' lives after everything that has happened. He feels very conflicted about how much of a role he should be playing in their lives since he missed out on so much of it growing up and now they are considered "adults" and have been on their own for the majority of their life. So after the whole kidnapping thing and having them be reliant on him, he doesn't know how to feel or better yet do when they are able to just go out on their own and survive without needing him.

Now he watches them as they navigate this environment without a care in the world like they are Na'vi and that terrifies him with all the dangers that Pandora poses.

Now as for the twins, they struggle with having someone so overprotective of them, especially the reader who is just so carefree and loves exploring Pandora so when Quaritch starts picking them up instead of letting them jump over a branch or stops them from flying on Ikran with the Sully's, it irritates them and it makes them both feel like children and that they can't be trusted and it ends in a fight between her and Quaritch who is like I'm just trying to protect you ;( and reader is like we don't need you to protect us, just be there if we fall :), so he starts letting up on them and just hanging around like Jake does with his kids in case the twins need him.

Because let's face it, if Quaritch had it his way, his children especially reader whose smaller would be wrapped up in a bubble 24/7 like they were bubble boy:
