Odd socks

Chapter 3

Previous | Next

When the sky people had came back, they had not only brought with them new machinery but also new fear. They brought fear to clans who once stood tall and fought back. Anyone who had lived through the first war against the sky people had also lived through seeing many deaths and losses. Many had lost their loved ones, they had lost their children, their spouses, and their parents. Now they are back, the Na’vi can only wonder who they would lose now.  

However, they are reminded that they won the first war with Toruk Makto and they can win another one again.  

Jake had let Toruk go once the humans had left the first time and he had believed that they would never come back. With the biggest threat to his life and wife gone, he allowed them both to have such a large family. He loved each child Eywa gave him and he knew that he would go to extreme lengths to keep each child alive and happy the moment he first laid eyes on them. There had been times where his children had been in danger with the other inhabitants of Pandora, but he had always been there to save them. Always.

So now that he knew that his children are under a gun, he felt his heart drop. He caught Neytiri’s eyes and saw the same fear in her that he felt. He had nearly lost both his sons just a day ago when he took them both out with the war party. He remembers telling them that they were spotters, and they must always, always keep themselves in distance to the fight.  

He would not allow himself to imagine the ‘what if’s if he had not been able to get to them in time and save them both. As his wife told him that he was being too hard on them, he had turned and looked at all his kids gathered in their family tent with Neteyam as he got patched up. Jake watched as Lo’ak sat beside his older brother, telling Neteyam that he is a ‘mighty warrior’, to cheer his brother up after being scolded by his father. Jake watched as Kiri and Mo’at both bickered on which healing paste to use. Jake watched as Tuk and Y/n squabbled again in the corner of the tent only to stop when Neteyam would let out an ‘ow.’ He watched them and he could not ever allow himself to let them slip away and die.  

He is a father, and a father protects.  

So how is it that he let his kids be held at gunpoint, a gun that once threatened to kill him?  

Neteyam claimed to know a shortcut and led his parents over to the old shack.  

---

Y/n had just gotten back from hunting, and she began to skip over to her family tent. She knew that her father was not in the best mood yesterday because of Lo’ak’s recklessness and this morning he did not seem to be all that happy either. She knew it was only because he cared, it was only because he loved her and her siblings that made him be so hard on them. Though even she would admit, sometimes he does become a bit much when scolding. This is what lead her to convince the hunting party to hunt teylu instead. It’s a common fact that the olo’eyktan loves teylu and though they are not a big challenge to hunt, it still can be a difficulty to find enough to feed the entire clan.  

Y/n looked inside her family tent but found no one. She knew her parents and Neteyam were going patrolling later today, but she had thought that they would have been back by now. Looking around and asking others, she did not get much information on their whereabouts. She had considered putting on her throat microphone but decided to wait a bit more in case they do come back, and she had been worrying over nothing.  

Y/n could never sit alone and do nothing. She isn’t one who knows how to enjoy her own company, she needs others around her. So sitting here alone to wait made her agitated even more. She sighed and got up to visit her grandmother’s tent. Y/n adored her grandmother or rather she adored annoying her grandmother. Either way, Mo’at could never say she disliked Y/n, she loved all her grandchildren equally.  However, that does not mean she will not hesitate to give them a scolding if they push her buttons. Like one grandchild does.  

“Hey Grandma!” Y/n called out.  

No answer.  

“grandMAAAAA”  

Still no answer. So, then she took a deep breath.

“GRAN-”

“Who let a bloody screeching Ikran in?”  Mo’at entered her tent to see Y/n standing there in the middle. “What is it? What do you want?” She had been carrying multiple pots with healing pastes in, each for a different type of injury. After putting the pots down, she sat down on a mat and patted the spot opposite her to tell Y/n to sit as well.  

“Mom and dad and everyone else have gone out so I decided to spend time with my favorite grandma.”    

“As if you have 10 other grandmas lined up outside so that you can pick me as your favorite.” Mo’at muttered. “So, they all went and left you here with me. Why?”  

“Dunno.”  Y/n had sat down, and her grandmother had given her a cup with water to drink from before getting a cup for herself. They both sat in a comfortable silence while they drank from their own cups.  

“Tsk, look at your hair child, why don’t you braid it? You look just like your father when he first came here.”  

“I’m not patient enough for that grandma, mom had tried to sit me down before, but it takes so long.” Y/n complained before finishing off her drink. Mo’at shook her head before she too finished the swallowed the last drop of water in her cup.  

“Y/N?”  

Mo’at and Y/n’s ears pricked up at the call. They recognised the voice that belonged to Neytiri and could hear the urgency and worry in her voice. Both grandmother and granddaughter shared a worried look before standing up to get out of the tent and meet the worried mother.  

“Mom, I’m here.” Y/n walked up to her mother. Once she locked eyes with her she could see that Neytiri was trying her best to not look frightened but the worry lines between her brow made it even clearer. “What’s wrong?”  

“Where were you?”  

Y/n sees her dad gently push her siblings out of their family tent, pointing off into the distance and they all walked away.  

“Was with Grandma, why?”  

Neytiri sighed and closed her eyes in relief. She gave her daughter a kiss on her forehead before turning around to look at Jake who had called her into the tent. She left to go join him after patting Y/n’s shoulder.  

Y/n watched in confusion as both her parents disappeared into the tent. Her mother had never even told her what happened. Looking to her right, she saw her brothers standing and quietly talking to each other. If her mother couldn’t answer her, then she wonders if it had been those two who got in trouble again.  

“Neteyam, Lo’ak, what happened?” Y/n asked.  

The two brothers shared a look before Lo’ak looked down at his feet.  

“You tell her.” Lo’ak nudged Neteyam.  

“Well, Lo’ak and the others went down to the old shack-”

“What!” Y/n’s outburst caused some of the other clan members to look their way. The three gave them an awkward smile before Neteyam tugged his sister closer to whisper.  

“Keep your voice down.” He hissed.

“My bad, then what?”

Y/n saw Lo’ak’s ears flatten, probably because he knew what happened next.

“Then they saw human na’vi.”  

“What?!” Again, others around the three gave them looks.  

“Just let me finish and be quiet. They then were spotted by the human Na’vi.”  

Y/n’s eyes grew and so did her mouth, just before she was to let out another ‘What!’, Neteyam had out his hand over her mouth.

“Quiet, remember,” He reminded her and only continued once she had nodded her head and pretended to zip her mouth shut. “They were then being held under their guns and used as bait to get Dad-”

“WHAT-”  

“Y/n! Keep your voice-”

“No way. Lo’ak, you daredevil!” Y/n smirked at her younger brother, proud of how he managed to be under that situation and come back out alive. Lo’ak began fighting back a smile as his sister praised him.  

“He had Tuk with him.” Neteyam added.

Y/n’s smile dropped, and she smacked the back of Lo’ak’s head. “Idiot.”  

“Ow-”

“And the human na’vi took spider.”  

Another smack.

“OW-”

She then pulled both of her brothers into a hug, though Lo’ak had been reckless once again, putting not only his life in danger but also his other sibling’s life in danger too, she was glad that they came back home alive.  

---

Kiri and Tuk had been listening in to their parents as they argued back and forth. The fabric of the tent was thick but there were gaps which allowed their voices, which were already raised, to trallevel to their ears easily.  

Kiri had one ear pressed against the outside wall of the tent as she listened and in the corner of her eye, she saw the twins and Lo’ak walking towards her.

“Hurry.” She waved and urged them to get to her quicker. The three jogged towards her and joined in on eavesdropping.  

“If the people harbour us, they will die. Do you understand? Look I’ve got nothing. I got no plan. But I can protect this family, that I can do.”

Y/n heard her father’s words and wondered what exactly he meant it. He said he will protect his family, from what she guesses, the humans. How would he protect them? She doesn’t know. Another war perhaps? However, he plans to protect them she knows it will not be easy. Especially if he had to work so hard to convince her mother.  

---

An hour later, the kids of Toruk Makto had sat themselves down in a circle. Their parents had just told them that they would be getting ready to leave the forest as soon as possible. That was a lot to take in. To experience near death, to know your family could have died and then be taken out of your home to go who-knows-where. When Y/n woke up she had never thought that while she had been out hunting, her family were fighting for their lives.  

All her life, Y/n had been told that she is the future of the clan along with her brother. She has spent so much time and effort in training to be the best future for her clan. All those cuts and bruises, all those restless nights worrying about whether she will be good enough would be for nothing? Everything she had ever done here in the forest, would mean nothing?  

What about her friends? Everyone in the clan? She cares about them all and she has to leave them?  

“I suppose it would be exciting to live somewhere else?” Neteyam spoke up. “We might go up to the mountains, the reef or the deserts-”  

“I want to stay here.” Kiri interrupted him.

“We don’t really have a say in that.” Y/n reminded her. Though they may have passed their Iknimaya and have their own Ikrans, their parents have still treated them as children with a bit more freedom, still children, nonetheless. Even if they had treated them as adults, moving out from the forest was still something they had no say in since their dad was pretty set on doing it.  

“We might come back, if the humans ever leave.” Neteyam tried to bring some sort of hope to the table.  

“I wouldn’t count on that.” Y/n stood up to go sleep. Nothing was going to happen with them just sitting there so why not lay down and sleep.  

Neteyam rolled his eyes. He was trying hard to cheer everyone up, why couldn’t Y/n see that.  

“It’s okay bro, let's just sleep.” Lo’ak stood up too, going into the tent to go sleep.  

Neteyam watched as Kiri got up and took Tuk with her and they too went to sleep. He wondered if any of them would get any sleep that night.  

---

The next day, Y/n walked up to where her friends had gathered in a circle. They were waiting for her since today was meant to be one of her days off from training and she had told them days before that she would spend this day with them. Her steps felt heavy as got closer and closer to them. She really didn’t want to tell them that she would be moving away and will most likely never see them ever again.  

“Y/n is here!” Zinat, the closest friend Y/n had called out. “Hey what’s wrong?”  

“Um, well, me and my family are leaving the forest.” 

“What? Y/n what do you mean?” All of her friends looked confused. How can one simply leave the forest and go where exactly?

“It’s because I broke your bow that one time right?” Akim asked. He was a kid who was a few years older than the twins but still hung out with them from time to time. 

“It was you?! I literally blamed Lo’ak because I thought he did it.” 

“Oh so... you didn’t know-”

“Shut up Akim, Y/n what do you mean you are leaving the forest? How can you just leave?” Zinat asked, pushing Akim away even though he was a foot taller than her. 

“My father fears that the sky people are after my family and are willing to fight others to get to us. So he is going to take us away from here until the humans give up.” Y/n sighed. She really did not want to leave her home and her friends. She had been trying hard to keep her tears in but when she saw the sad looks her friends were giving her, the tears could not be held back any longer. 

“Oh Y/n... come here.” Zinat was the first to pull her into a hug before Akim and the others joined in. They all shared one last group hug and tears before Y/n was called by her mother to finish packing before they leave the next day. Taking a deep breath, Y/n let go of her friends and gave them a small smile before turning around to head back into her family tent.

Neytiri saw the dried tears around her daughters eyes. She didn’t want this anymore than Y/n did but she believed Jake had a point to moving out. She placed a comforting hand on the back of her daughters back and lead her back in the tent. When she looked back at her friends, she meet with their eyes, their eyes that were also filled with tears. The forest was all her children ever knew. The forest and its people. She almost feels as if she had failed as a mother to take it away from them. 

---

Y/n watched while struggling to keep her tears in as her father’s title as olo’ekytan was taken away. She prayed to Ewya the other day to give her father another option, another idea other than leaving but her prayers had not been answered. Neteyam placed his hand on the back of her shoulder to move her along with her family as they walked through the parted crowd of the clan and towards their Ikrans to fly away. While walking through the crowd, Y/n had caught Zinat’s eyes and saw how here ears laid flat against her head, tears falling rolling down her cheeks as Akim held her close. He gave Y/n a nod as she walked past him. 

When the family had gotten on their Ikran’s the children would constantly look behind them to see the trees of the forest grow smaller and smaller in size till all they would see in all four directions was the sea.  Y/n could smell the salt as they flew over the water, when looking down she would occasionally see a brightly coloured fish swimming near the surface before it swims down deeper into the sea. 

Though the environment around her was calming, the atmosphere between her family was anything but calm. Words were not said apart from Tuk’s ‘Are we there yet?’ but worry and stress could be seen on everyone’s faces. Y/n then caught Neteyam’s eye, she gave him a small smile before he nodded at Lo’ak and Kiri. 

Lo’ak had his eyebrows crossed ever since they left, thinking how this all was his fault. They only had to move because he wanted to go see the old shack. They only had to leave because he believes he got himself and his siblings caught. What he did not realised was that his father would have made the decision to leave as soon as he had found out about the human na’vi whether it had been him who discovered them first or Lo’ak. 

Kiri had let out a few sighs since they left the forest. Even though she loved flying on her Ikran, she would much rather not be flying over the sea and rather be flying over the familiar trees of her home.

The twins nodded at each other before the flew on either side of Kiri and Lo’ak. 

“Betcha’ can’t do this!” Y/n dared before riding her Ikran while standing. 

Kiri raised an eyebrow before smirking and standing up on her Ikran as well. Neteyam got up too and so did lo’ak, though he was a little shaky on his feet. 

“Don’t look down.” Y/n advised. 

“Can you do this?” Kiri asked while sitting back down and making her Ikran turn upside down and upright again. 

Y/n shrugged her shoulders and did the same move smoother followed by Neteyam. Lo’ak managed to do it as well without falling off as he nearly did the last time he tried. 

“What about thi-” Lo’ak began while getting ready to stand up again.

“Sit back down.” Jake’s voice seemed to have came out of nowhere as it caught the four off guard. He really couldn’t have his kids falling off their Ikrans right now and thankfully his kids listened to him. He heard Lo’ak’s ‘I’m sat’ which calmed his nerves for a while before Y/n ‘accidentally’ flew her Ikran a little too close to Kiri’s. Kiri looked at her in surprise since she knew her sister wasn’t that bad of a flyer. Y/n shrugged and smiled and Kiri caught on to what she was trying to do and then she too ‘accidentally’ flew her Ikran a little too close to Y/n’s. 

“Girls, stop.” Jake told them off once he heard hushed giggled behind him. He did not mind them cheering each other up to lighten the mood but he just needed them to sit calmly till they all reach the reef and not fall off of their Ikrans. 

In the distance, civilisation could be seen, the sun shone down on the water making it look as if the water were made out of glass. The na’vi that lived there looked up at the sky as the Sully’s flew their Ikrans over. Some would shout and others would dive into the water. Y/n looked down at them and noticed that the Na’vi that lived here looked a bit different. She watched as they all swam back to their mainland and gathered around for form a crowd. 

They Sully’s landed their Ikrans on an open space of sand. When jumping down from her Ikran, Y/n noticed how soft and warm the sand felt under her feet. It was different to the touch of grass and rocks which she was used to. Looking up from the sand, she joined her family walking slowly towards the other Na’vi. Her father and Neteyam both walked with their arms spread to show that they had no weapons on them and mean to cause no harm. 

Y/n never really had this many eyes on her at once before, much less eyes that belong to those that she has never met before. By now the crowd around them had become rather dense. She saw her brothers greet two boys that made their way through the crowds. They ignored her brother’s greetings and simply stared at them as if they were alien. 

“Look at their tail.” The smaller one pointed at Neteyams tail. They both laughed to themselves. Their skin had a much lighter shade of blue compared to Y/n’s family. Their arms and tails were thicker and bigger in size too with smaller ears. If only it had been them coming to the forest, then it would have been them who were ‘alien’. 

Y/n immediately decided then and there that she did not like them both at all. Her face fell into a scowl and she held back a hiss. Moving her eyes to the taller boy, she met his eyes and that stupid smirk of his. He looked her up and down, she did the same, both settling on looking at each other in disgust before a young girl came and told them both off for their words. Y/n decided that she liked that girl. At least she knew how to behave with people that she has just met. After all, doesn’t the first impression last the longest?

Y/n had been so distracted by glaring at the tall boy that she had not even realised when a women came around inspecting each one of her family members. She only turned her head to look at the women when she came around to her and grabbed her right hand. The hand that had an extra finger. 

“These children aren’t even real Na’vi!” She help up Y/n’s hand for entire clan to see. By the looks of the woman, Y/n guessed that she was a healer or probably the Tsahik from her bold actions. Her clothes certainly were extravagant, she also had black designs on her face and body like some of the other adults here, perhaps she was their Tsahik.  

“Yes we are.” Kiri spoke up. 

Ignoring Kiri, the Tsahik continued speaking. “They have demon blood in them!” 

Y/n rolled her eyes and tugged her hand out of the Tsahik’s grasp. Well obviously she had ‘demon blood’ in her, her father used to be a human but it is not like Y/n herself was going to turn into a bloodthirsty human and go on a killing spree. Jake stepped forward and showed the Tsahik his hand, making it obvious to point out that he also had an extra finger. 

“See here, I was born with the sky people and now I’m Na’vi. You can adapt. We can all adapt.” Jake was not only talking to the Tsahik but also the rest of the clan. Y/n watched as some members of the clan whispered amongst themselves. They looked back and forth from different members of her family and Y/n couldn’t understand them. So what if her family looked different. At the end of the day they were all Na’vi just like her family. 

“My husband was Toruk Makto.” Neytiri told the Tsahik and the Olo’eyktan, though it was mostly aimed at the Tsahik. “He led the clans to victory against the sky people.” 

“This you call victory? Hiding amongst strangers?” The Tsahik argued back. 

The tall boy from earlier snorted. Y/n went to glare at him again but he had already begun to move towards the Tsahik and Olo’eyktan before she could even turn her head. After further negotiation, or rather pleading, the Metkayina clan finally let the Sully family stay. 

“My son Ao’nung and daughter Tsireya will teach your kids the way of water.” The Olo’eyktan announced. Y/n watched as he pointed his hand towards the tall boy and the nicer young girl. So then the fish boy was the Olo’eyktan’s son? Great, that probably means that Y/n would have to befriend the bastard, it made her grind her teeth just thinking about it. She’d rather drown than befriend the boy that openly disrespected her family. 

Ao’nung, the tall boy, looked back at the Sully kids, one in particular with annoyance as his father announced that he would be the one to babysit them. They were forest people and forest people belong in the forest, not in the water. Their thin arms and legs would have no strength when in the water. Whatsmore, they seem to be acting much mightier than one would expect when it was them begging for a place to stay. Like that girl, he had exchanged no words with her yet the moment he laid eyes on her she was already picturing throwing a spear through his head. Which is too bad, she has a pretty face but a nasty personality. There would be no way that she and her family would be able to keep up with him.  

If only he could send them back where they came from.

Hypothetically if Spider ever managed to get an avatar and maybe it even eventually becomes his actual permanent body, do you think it’d change his relationship with the Sully family? Or is he forever doomed to be seen as a stray cat they care about kind of (when it’s not inconvenient) from time to time?

Thoughts on Spider.

After Way of the Water? No.

(Also, anon, why would you come to this blog for validation of family feels and hurt comfort? May I suggest you go to any other blog on this site, you'll be much happier.)

Because it'll come out that he brought the enemy to their camp as well as saved the corporal's life. Now, the former can be excused in that he was coerced and tortured. However, there is the messy emotional business that Neteyan died solely because of Quaritch's blind obsession with Jake Sully that Spider went out of his way to aid by showing him things they would not have considered such as flying banshees.

(Note, Spider was in a bad position, and more is a boy who just wants to be loved by somebody. This was his father who was finally noticing him, praising him, and of course while conflicted he wanted to aid him and have him be proud of him. He's also young and didn't realize that no, he's not clever enough to trick Quaritch and pretend to go along with his schemes then betray him at the last minute. That plan didn't work out.

What I'm getting at is I don't blame Spider by Neyteri certainly will.)

With Quaritch alive still and out for blood, when it gets out that Spider's the one who saved him (and it will get out), it'll seem to the Sully's that he picked sides and he didn't pick the Sully's. While I'm sure we'll have a whole thing about the kids forgiving him (Kiri especially is very fond of Spider in movie 2) and Jake telling Neyteri it's cool because "Sully's stick together" there's still not going to be great feeling after this.

I imagine, after a lot of hardship, Spider would be... tolerated at best and if possible, persuaded to go to Earth when they kick the humans out for the second time.

If they give him a consolation Avatar it'll be just that, a consolation Avatar, and I imagine he'll never remove the stigma of "other" from himself or "that time he cooperated with the enemy" (when, again, he had little choice in the matter).

Before the events of the second film, though, if an Avatar crash landed on him (or the lab had somehow managed to retain the materials to make them), I imagine Neyteri would find it weird and uncomfortable. Spider is human, in her eyes Jake had to prove himself a member of the people and effectively give up his humanity. Her children are her children, born of the Nav'i. Even Kiri is very clearly Nav'i and was born of immaculate conception (or let's not think about it). Spider has no reason to be in an Avatar, he's not fighting the humans who aren't there, and would just be doing it to... pretend he's Nav'i even more than the human scientists are. I imagine she wouldn't be thrilled, especially given it's the son of her enemy.

(I'm not saying this is rational of her, Spider is a child who literally knew nothing of any of these people, but it seems to be how Neyteri generally views him, and I don't see her loving the idea of adopting the son of her warlord enemy.

Given that, from what we see, she didn't love the idea of adopting the son of her warlord enemy in canon and kind of just let the socially awkward scientists not raise him.)

Some updates with pen

Playing around with Na’vi proportions.

Literally my all time favorite movie [obsession] since it came out with 2009

Inspiration under the cut

[socksonat3am]

Ngl, I honestly think that Jake Sully shouldn't make it to the end of the franchise.

Like...I understand WHY he's there but now we're out of the "audience needs to be shown all the things and introduced to them like babies" because now we have like...4+ of those types of characters now. We don't need the "white guy veteran" to lead a resistance forever.

I think his death could be REALLY neat for the story. Like...he's "the hero" and "the protector" so what do you do when that person dies? Someone else steps up to take his place, or MULTIPLE people do. It would also change the story from the antagonist standpoint. No more "we need to hunt Jake Sully because he is the leader of the resistance" and more focus on the pure and actual devastation that the invading colonial force is doing and how that impacts ALL the people being invaded.

Jake Sully as a vehicle for the audience isn't needed anymore. And his death could open SIGNIFICANTLY more impactful storylines than the one that leaving him alive leaves us with.

This is just my little rambling. I may add to it...

Best of 2022 Music #11: The Weeknd “Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength)”

While the first Avatar had the whole finding love and yourself in a new way. That was told wonderfully via Leona Lewis and her end credits song I See You.

For the way of water, the focus shifts to the family and holding onto what’s been built. It’s something that The Weeknd best exemplifies here.

You can feel Jakes mindset via Abel here as he gets all of the feels across short of putting on a performance capture suit himself.

Let’s Hope the Avatar 3 Song is just as good.

SUM 22: The Weeknd dives into the mindset of a dad trying to protect with the beautiful ending theme for the way of water. Visuals synch together perfectly as well.

Do you think Lo’ak fell off the cliff while wrestling his Ikran and scared the shit out of his parents by making the bond mid-fall?? cuz I definitely think Lo’ak fell off the cliff while wrestling his Ikran and scared the absolute shit out of his parents by making the bond mid-fall.

I can only imagine once Lo’ak balances out midair Neyteri looks at Jake and goes “This is what happens when you make a copy of yourself. All my skill and confidence with all of your dumbassness” meanwhile Neteyam is laughing his ass off so hard he almost falls off the cliff himself.

[liroutrozenberg]

Why is no one talking about a human!reader who tries on Na'vi clothes??? And Jake, who is watching!

God damn I need it

Jake Sully/Human! Reader

The air is good for both humans and Na'vi!

At first you were intrigued. It was Neiteri's idea, so you didn't think of turning down the opportunity given to you to try on something worn by the Na'vi, after all, when else could such a chance come? Although, you were well treated in the clan, mostly because of your merit, so it could help in case of need. Actually, thanks to this, you were asked to change your clothes to the one that Neyteri would bring. After your consent, she beamed as if she had a great chance, and you just had to wait.

And then Jake joined your waiting. Just seeing that you are waiting, sitting away from the rest of the group, I decided to brighten up your loneliness - sitting next to you, while touching your shoulder with his palm, making you smile. "What is the beauty doing here alone?" - His face broke into a satisfied smile, and the tip of his tail twitched from side to side, betraying his good mood from meeting you. "Waiting for Neyteri." - With chuckles, you answered, in one short movement approaching so that you could sit in tight to the Avatar enough to lean on his side. Immediately, a slightly warm hand ran down your back, almost immediately slipped to your waist, gently stroking the skin through the fabric of the T-shirt in a caressing gesture, warming you.

"Here's what I promised." - A self-satisfied woman appeared from somewhere on the side as unexpectedly as possible, tearing you out of calm bliss, because in that short period of time you managed to doze off, settling your head on Jake's shoulder, who, in general, did not think to object. He turned around to hug you for a more comfortable position. Stretching and stretching your limbs, you rose from your seat, feeling warm fingers running down your thigh. Taking the outstretched clothes, which even so it seemed not very much, you hurried to change clothes, under the approving words of your friend.

Not without problems, but you coped with the assigned task and were, to put it mildly, surprised by the result, but rather quickly it was replaced by all-consuming embarrassment. Because damn it -

Something suggested that the Na'vi still took pity on you, and did not immediately go with the trump cards.

"Y/n, how are you?" Neiteri asked courteously, but even so, there was a distinct chuckle in her voice, which she tried to suppress. Of course, these clothes could be too revealing compared to what you are used to walking around in, so yes, consider yourself lucky.

"Wonderful." - You parried, finally appearing and allowing yourself to be examined from head to toe, believe me, there was something to see there. Of course, all the most interesting was closed, but it seemed that one wrong step - and no fabric would save the body from complete exposure. The bandage on the hips, descending to the knees, was dark green with a similarity of a belt of small beads and the same color fabric covered the chest, tied in a knot between the shoulder blades on the back. The wicker decoration wrapped around your thigh.

"How do you walk in this?" - You asked directly, looking uncertainly at the Na'vi representative. But she just clapped her hands pretty. She definitely liked what she saw, judging by her emotions, which she did not think to hide, starting to coo something around your person.

And Jake… his reaction was much more entertaining. The avatar just stared at you without blinking and what exactly was spinning in his head was unrealistic to understand, and if you previously thought that he was overreacting to your person, well now is the time to reconsider your opinion on this matter. Naytiri left you safely, whispering something unintelligible approval before disappearing between dense branches.

Now you two are alone with each other.

Jake inhaled heavily, not even trying to hide it from you, and only when you shifted unsteadily from foot to foot, stepping closer, he hastened to lower his gaze to the ground, although he did not stay long to look at you again.

"You're so beautiful." - He gets close to you so quickly that there is no time for a reaction, but in general it is not required.

Bully

Aonung and reader

Never directly said but I may have leaked my neurodivergence into the oc and I always wanted to be close to be close with my siblings but my mom always pit us against each other so may have went over board with the bonds in this one… oops this has you starting at 18 and when you are a little bit older 22 mate with Aonung

As Neteyam’s twin sister and Jake and Neyteri’s other oldest child I too was handed big expectations though dad seemed to be more gentler with his daughters. Kiri being so close to our age we were close but she was still closer to Lo’ak. Neteyam and Lo’ak were the only ones allowed to go on missions as dad said it was our duty to learn from grandma and become healers.

One raid I heard from one of the warriors told me about what Lo’ak did that almost got my twin killed and I was pissed. I charged to find them. Before I even could see them I could hear dad yelling and Neteyam trying to take the fall again. “Stop taking the blame for him! If you don’t let him fall he won’t learn!” I growled with a singular focus, ignoring my father telling me to go back. I decked Lo’ak as hard as I could.

Dad pulled me back quickly, “Hey, enough! Go back.”

“No! Teyam is bleeding and this moron…!”

“I said enough. Neteyam walk your sister back to the village.” Dad hissed.

Neteyam walked forward and wrapped an arm around me and applied gentle pressure to get me to move forward. Once out of ear shot he turns and hugs me “I know you were just scared but you can’t just deck Lo’ak.” I gave him a look that said watch me so he continued, “I’m okay, see it’s just a scratch.”

“This time… what about his next stupid move? What about then? Neteyam… I can’t imagine living without you.”

He pulled me tighter, “Hey, I’m right here.”

…

Not long after we were forced to flee our home to the Metkayina clan. There we were taken in and the leaders assigned their children to teach us their ways. The girl, Tsireya, was kind and it was clear Lo’ak liked her… however her brother, Aonung was crass and rude. I didn’t like him as he clearly detested us.

But I noticed he was a little bit more gentle with me so I started to play into it. When he would get frustrated with one of my siblings I would run my hand down his arm and hum, “It was a good try don’t you think? I was out of breath before them anyway.”

He’d pause before turning his attention to me with a sigh, “yeah I guess…”

On our way home from our sessions Lo’ak scoffs, “Why are you always hanging on to that Asshole?”

“Because when I hang on him he eases up on you, you’re welcome.” I smirked.

Neteyam laughed wrapping an arm around me and bumping against Lo’ak, “weaponized flirting.”

…

When we started working on learning to ride the Ilus when Lo’ak was struggling Aonung simply laughed, so I got really close and he instinctively wrapped an arm around me as if to assist me in treading water. I leaned my chin on his shoulder, “Aonung… is it really that hard? That looked like it really hurt. Should I be nervous?”

He gives me a squeeze, “Nah, even this idiot can do it. I’ll show you, pretty girl.”

…

When my brothers got in a fight with Aonung and his friends I stepped up and yelled, “Enough! What is this all about?”

My brothers got up and joined me. Lo’ak jesters at Aonung, “This asshole called Kiri a freak.”

With a straight face I stepped up to Aonung and smacked him, “The only freak I see here is standing here in front of me.” I pivoted, “let’s go.”

When dad found out he was furious and despite the fact that Lo’ak wasn’t in the wrong, he made him go apologize. It was a while since he went to apologize so Neteyam and I went to track down Aonung and when he tells us what he did, with the surge of emotions all I could do was scream. I screamed so loud I attracted many other Na’vi attention including Tonowari.

“What is the meaning of all this screaming?” Tonowari asked.

Pointing an accusatory finger at Aonung, “He sent my little brother to his death!”

Tonowari looked over at his son, “Son? Tell me that this is some sort of misunderstanding.”

Aonung looked at his feet and his father lost it, “You better hope that, that boy isn’t dead! Come with me, we’re going to go find him!”

Neteyam took me home to wait and as soon as we were out of sight I took some deep breaths and flopped down. All emotions were drained out of me. Neteyam gave me a look and I stated, “What? What did you expect me to do?”

“Tell his father and dad.”

“Well now everyone knows what he did.”

“Are you even concerned about Lo’ak?”

“Of course but what use am I right now? And you are acting like I acted irrationally. Tonowarni is going to find him and that was emotionally draining!”

Neteyam plopped down by me, “I guess you are right, I’m sorry. You know he’ll be alright.”

…

I was walking on the beach on my way to the grove for some special fruit when Ao’nung came out of the water and tried to catch up with me. And though I tried to quicken my pace, his long legs carried him right up to me though he did stay a step behind me giving me space. “What do you fuckin want, fish boy?” I growled refusing to even look at him.

I could hear his fumbling steps as he tried to keep the one step behind me and not over take me. “Pretty gir..”

“Don’t you dare call me that!” I hissed interrupting him.

“Sorry, I mean (y/n)… please forgive me I will do anything to make it up to you. I already apologized to Lo’ak please… please tell me what I can do to make it up to you.”

I dead stopped causing him to bump into me and when I pivot we are practically chest to lower chest. “You can feed yourself to that monster you left Lo’ak for.”

Aonung bowed his head, “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… I’m sorry I picked on your sister and I’m sorry I left your brother alone… with a horrible creature no less. But I really like you…”

“Liar. If you actually liked me not just lusted after me then you would have never treated my siblings like you did. But none of that matters I never liked you. You were an ass, I had to flirt with you to get you to be decent.”

The last part seemed to hurt him the most, “I suppose I deserve that… but can’t we start over again?”

I scowled at him, “start over? Can’t restart something that never began. Now buzz off!”

He looked sad but he deserved it so I stormed off.

… my twin brother was almost killed and I was a wreck waiting for him to heal enough to be stable. Ronal was with him now continuing his treatment as I sat on the edge of the deck with my feet hanging over the edge, tears streaming down my face when Aonung sat next to me and wrapped an arm around me. I allowed him to pull me close, holding me in his arms letting me sob into his chest, allowing my snot and tears run over skin. “He’s going to make it.” He whispered into my hair. “He’s strong and mom is doing everything she can for him.”

…

After the battle was seemingly over I allowed Aonung to get closer to me. We were walking down the beach to go to the grove to retrieve my favorite fruit. Aonung tested the waters by bumping his arms into me before wrapping his arms around me. When we arrived Aonung would climb the trees for me insisting it was his job to get the high ones, even though I’m much better at climbing the trees. Once my basket was full Aonung took the basket from me and carried it back to my family’s bungalow. Stopping before the entrance he shifted the basket. “You want to come in? We could eat together.”

Aonung swallowed, “You sure?…”

“Yeah now come on.”

…

It’s me and Neteyam’s 22nd birthday. Neteyam has found a mate and plans on giving her a betrothal necklace tonight but right now was our traditional time together where we just redo each other’s hair. My hair wasn’t completely braided like his so it wouldn’t take as long but it still felt nice to do. I was taking out the last of his braids when Aonung found our hiding spot.

“Hey… you look good with your hair down Neteyam.”

“Aonung, what do you want? This is our time.” I snipped.

Neteyam was completely relaxed, “relax sis, he doesn’t mean any harm. Right Aonung?”

Aonung chuckled nervously, “Right… what are you doing anyway?”

“Doing a full refresh of his braids. This is our tradition. No matter when we last fixed our hair, we do this on our birthday. I find it grounding.”

Neteyam smiled as I began to section off his hair, “Well what’s up my friend?”

Aonung shifted, “Oh um… nothing… I didn’t mean to interrupt. I can just catch up later.”

“Nonsense have a seat and join the family time.” Neteyam chuckled.

Aonung comes and sits across from us, “so…uh… happy birthday…”

“Thanks man.” Neteyam laughed.

“Thank you.” I hummed.

“Of course my pretty girl … um… Neteyam… I would like your blessing to court your sister.”

“I’m right here. And we kind of already are.” I complained.

Neteyam sat up, “He means more officially… like I would of had to do back home. Aonung I have a couple of questions before I give my blessing. First, how do you see my sister?”

“I see her by my side as my light and as my strength. I see her as the mother of my children and the heart of my family.”

“Ok… Kanza already knows how my sister reacts to your fights so we already agreed if you fuck up she’s coming to stay with us. What would you do to make amends after the two of you get into a fight?”

“Well I know I would have to give her a moment and I would need it too but then I would first get her, her favorite fruit and bring it to her and ask to talk it over. I would listen to her feelings and share my own as we are equals in this relationship and we have to work on this together.”

“Last question, when did you know it was her?”

“After I did that stupid shit to your brother and she was angry with me and I realized she might never speak to me again and it actually bothered me.”

Neteyam leaned forward and patted Aonung’s shoulder, “Blessing granted my friend.”

Neteyam leaned back and I continued working on his hair.

Aonung turned his attention towards me, “So my pretty girl, I would like to have our first courtship in front of the clan during the spring festivities.”

“That’s in two days, Aonung! Why are you asking so late!” I scolded pausing on the braid I was focusing on.

Aonung blushed, “Well I’ve been out for trainings for the past month and I thought it would be cute to ask you on your birthday.”

Neteyam chuckled reaching back to pat my shoulder, “It is cute but if you haven’t noticed my sister isn’t someone who handles things sprung on her very well.”

I groaned, “I hate that you are right about that but yeah it’s cute… but what if I mess it up. I still don’t have all your traditions down.”

Aonung smiled reaching out to touch my cheek, “Ma (y/n), this is just a formality, nothing to worry about.”

I raised my eyebrows working on a hair knot, “Really our clan used it as a way for the clan to decide whether or not to accept them as their leaders mate.” Aonung went quiet, “it’s the same here… but they won’t veto you. You’re amazing! You have a natural healer and already have had previous training to be a Tsahìk before. Which is why mother was alright with me courting you in private and has been taking you under her wing. She already approves of you so surely the clan will follow suit.”

I groan, “Alright but I don’t want to think about this. I just want to enjoy my birthday with my brother. Can we just forget about this for now?”

“Sure of course, will I see you tonight ?”

“Yeah at dinner.”

…

I walked in Aonungs private pod, inside he had prepared some of my favorite foods. “Ma’onung you made dinner for us with my favorite foods… even the ones you don’t like.”

He smiled bringing me into his arms, “of course Ma (y/n). I see you. Happy birthday my beautiful girl.

…

The festival comes around and Aonung keeps an arm around me as we walk amongst the clan on the beach. He has really grown up but I started to notice how he seems just as nervous as I was despite being all confident earlier. I found it comforting. He squeezed me close and kissed my head, “are you having a good time, pretty girl?”

“Yes I am. Thank you. Are you?”

“Of course I am pretty girl. Shall we dance?” He gestured with his free hand.

Once the festivities died down, Aonung walked me back to my family home. He took me into his arms and leaned down for a kiss but stopped short before he touched my lips allowing me to close the distance. Once he had my lips against his, he dominated my mouth. It was as if he was a starved man. But when he pulled away, it was all too soon. He chuckled at my frustration, “Easy love, we can’t be caught making out too much. It’s important to stay proper during our courtship.”

I groaned, “It’s just a kiss.”

He smiled and gave me a peck, “You know how strict court ship is for the future chief. But don’t worry, we’ll be mated before you know it.”

“Ulg! Fine, when’s our next outing?”

“In three days… this will be a big one…. You will be coming with me on a hunting trip… don’t worry I picked a location that will be easier for you. You don’t need to worry, tomorrow my sister and Rotxo will take you out to practice some more. But just so you know I think you do great already.”

I smiled up at him, “Thank you and thank you for setting that up for me…can I get one more kiss?”

Aonung wrapped a hand around the back of my head and pulled me in for a kiss. He pulled away as quickly as he had swooped in, “Good night pretty girl, get some sleep.”

…

It comes to our last courting where his mother decides her thoughts on us and the clan decides whether or not to accept me. I was looking through my necklace tops trying to decide what was best for the occasion but couldn’t decide which one was appropriate. My dad placed a hand on my shoulder, “Aonung is here to see you.”

Panic set in, “But I’m not ready!”

“Calm down he just wants to give you a gift.”

I nodded and made my way to the door where Aonung waited. “Hey Aonung… You look dashing.”

“Thank you my love. I brought you this to wear today.”

He held up a beautiful netted necklace with beads and shells laced into it, “I made this for you to wear today.”

I smiled, “it’s gorgeous! Thank you.”

He kissed me quickly, “of course… see you soon.”

…

I approach Aonung and his family in front of the clan. Aonung took my hand and turned to his mother who announced her support for us and like Aonung said the clan followed suit.

…

Aonung brought me to the water where Eywa and our ancestors could be heard. Our loin cloths already left on the shore. Aonung kept us above water easily, one hand wrapped around me, while the other retrieved his queues and allowed ours to bind together. He was visibly overwhelmed at first, just as I was. But as we synced his hands travelled down to my thighs. He pulled me up and I could feel his tip prodding at my entrance. He kisses me gently before using his grip on my hips to sink himself below the surface. I gasped as he attached his lips to my cunt. While one hand treads water, the other shoots down to lace through his curly hair. His tongue twirls around a bundle of nerves that had my body shaking. His fingers dug into my hips as he pulled me firmly against his mouth. I whimpered as I squirmed on his tongue. As squirmed he moaned and the vibrations against my sensitive flesh. I pulled at his hair as his tongue slowly pushed into my wanton whole. My euphoria drove him further as he could feel it through our bond. He suck my bud into his mouth as I absolutely lost my mind, grinding down onto his mouth. He resurfaced with a smug smile, “that was beautiful, you’re already so out of breath. That’s not good.” After giving him a look, he said “we’re going to have to submerge for this next part.”

I groaned, “seriously? Can we make it quick then? We can have another round if you want to take your time at home.”

He chuckled and gave me a kiss, “okay I will be quick. But our night won’t be over do you understand?”

I nodded, “I understand… ready.”

“Big breath.” And then he pulled us under before he slammed into me, completing our Union. He quickly fucked himself into me. I could feel him hyping himself up so he would cum inside me in just a few pumps. He quickly pulled us back out of the water grabbed our loin clothes and without pulling out dashed us to his now our pod.

I could already feel how hard he was inside of me. He smirked, “You did so well baby… I think you’re already ready for another round.”

I groaned, “Yes!!! Please yes!”

He looked at me with such adoration that I didn’t care there was smugness in his smirk. He leaned forward to kiss my lips as he began to pump in and out of me. He pushed my leg up to my chest opening me up more to him. He moaned in my ear as he pressed his body into mine. My arms were wrapped firmly around him holding him to me until his hips stuttered and his hot seed spurted into me causing the coil in my stomach to snap and my walls squeezed around him. His body went limp as he allowed my leg to come down and my arms fell slack. His breathing was heavy and his heartbeat was thumping strongly. I found his weight on me comforting.

When he rolled off me our queues got disconnected. I curled into his side. He wrapped an arm around me lazily, “that was … that… felt… felt otherworldly.”

I chuckled and decided to tease, “yeah it was okay…” I began laughing when he looked at me with the wtf look. “Sorry couldn’t help it! It was great.”

[dirtytransmasc]

Okay. Mama!Neyteri's view of Kiri having her seizure and going into a coma. Not only is she desperately mourning the absence of one of her other babies, but this is her other adopted child, and the child that was closest to Spider. And since she accepted Spider, there's less conflict between her and Kiri so they're closer than they were in canon. What are her feelings?

ok so, I have wanted to talk about this but I didn't have the words, but I think I do, this is gonna be a little off topic at first (like 6 steps to the right of it) but I will get to your actual ask just give me a second.

the main reaosn I love the idea of neytiri adopting spider as he rown is because it allows neytiri to heal. if she took him in as her ow she would have to face both the beauty and evil of humans; she couldn't hold this monolith view of them, which would help her heal from the war. but spider no longer remains a constant reminder of her trauma, he is her child, her joy, her miracle; this gives her the space to breathe, to heal, without having a reminder shoved in her face. not to mention, even when those feelings arise in her, cause ptsd is a bitch, she has the ability to look at him, know that is her child, and use that fact against the humans and against her own mind. this is her child, she raised him, not those demons, she made a good person out of a him, a boy na'vi in heart and mind, a child of Eywa. it is her greatest comfort.

because of this, neytiri, who was already a good mom, is a great mom. she is in a much better mindset, she's healed, she has a better grip on herself and her emotions, and her relationship with her kids don't have her hatred of spider wedged in between. this is most obvious with Kiri, spiders person;

onto your ask (see, I got their eventually). having already lost one child, not knowing if and when he would see him again, to then watch her daughter, another one of her children - a child she is much closer with because they both loved spider and had been mourning his loss together - recover from a seizure was devastating. she felt like she was on the verge of losing yet another child and the closest connection to her lost son.

that night of watching over kiri praying for her to wake up was a night of horrors. the grief of losing two children hanging over her head, spider already weighing heavy in her chest, she couldn't handle another loss.

Odd socks | Neteyam’s twin pt.4

There is now a full fic available, if you’re interested, link to the masterlist is here

Last part to being his twin :/ Read all the other parts here 

You see Neteyam following Lo’ak, this unsettling feeling that had placed itself on the bottom of your chest makes you follow him too. You walk in on them both talking. 

“Why do you always have to make things so hard?” Neteyam asks Lo’ak. Though you can tell he didn’t mean it in a way that would hurt, the look on Lo’ak’s face tells you that he took it the wrong way. He looks back at Neteyam, ears slightly turned down as he replies, “No, you mean why can’t I be the perfect son like you.” 

“Oh Lo’ak..” You mutter. He continues. 

“Or a perfect little solider. Well I’m not you, okay? I’m not you.” 

You watch neteyam gather himself before he replies. He is trying hard to not say anything that would make this worse. You don’t exactly know whether or not you should interrupt them or not. 

“He’s my brother. I’m going.” Brother? Who is he talking about? 

“Oh, he is your brother?” Neteyam makes Lo’ak look at him. “No I’m your brother.” 

“Lo’ak, listen-” You walked up to them but Lo’ak turned around and got onto his ilu. 

“No, I’m going.” 

You look at Neteyam and see Aonung and Tsireya coming towards you guys. You think you the only one who hears you brother sigh before he goes to get his own ilu. “Come on, he’s going to see Payakan.” 

So thats who Lo’ak was going on about.  All of you, including that one kid Rotxo who always tags along, went after lo’ak. The cold water helped cool yourself down from everything that is going on. You could see Lo’ak in front of you in the distance. You turn your head to see Kiri with Tuk behind her. This is fine, just let him warn Payakan about the tulkun hunting and get back to the village. 

Well, that plan goes downhill once you see Payakan’s fin with one of the human devices which help them hunt. 

“Come on, help!” Lo’ak calls out to you all. All of you quickly go to them him, trying to pull the device out but it is difficult even with all of you pulling. You look up and in the distance you see a boat. 

Your eyes widen as you realise who the boat belongs to. That unsettling feeling that was sitting on your chest began to grow as soon as you saw. “The boat! The boat is coming!” You tell the others. Neteyam looks at you then at the boat behind you which was making its way to you. 

“Quick, tell dad. Tell dad now.” He tells you. You nod and turn back around to look at the approaching boat. Your hand goes to your neck to turn your throat microphone on. 

“Dad, can you hear me?” 

“Odd socks, that you?” 

“Why the- nvm okay so me and everyone else are with Payakan. He has been marked and we can see a boat in the distance.”  

“Human boat?”

“Yes.”

“Who is ‘everyone’?” 

“Me, Neteyam, Lo’ak, Aonung, Tsireya, Kiri, Rotxo and... Tuk.” 

“Okay, stay away from the boat. Do not engage.” 

“Yes sir.” 

You look back at everyone and see that they managed to get the device out of payakan’s fin. “Quick, we need to leave.” You tell them. 

“I’ll take this somewhere far so they don’t follow us.” Neteyam tells you, holding the red device in his hands. You nod at him, telling him that you will go with him. He shakes his head and tells you to stay with the others and make sure they get back safe. You hesitate but agree with him anyway. 

Now all of you are swimming away on your ilus but you’re being followed by humans in some sort of machine which allows them to move quickly in the water. You’re heart beat picks up but you try to remain calm. Just get everyone out of here. 

Too bad you all got split up. Now you’re with Aonung and Rotxo. The machine is quick, too quick. It nearly grabbed you a few times. You decide to lead it away from the others since it was after you rather than the two boys. So you make a sharp turn right and as you expected, the machine follows. You sign to the boys to keep going and not follow after you. You tell your ilu to go towards the seaweed that is near you, you might be able to lose it in there since the plant grows to be so tall. 

You plan on getting it tied up with the plant so badly that it can’t move anymore, then the human will have no choice but to leave the machine and when it is out in the water with no machinery, you have the upper hand. So you swim left and right, diving down to only appear behind it and swim back over it. It’s a risky plan considering how it nearly got you once. However, before you managed to get it tangled in the seaweed, you lost your ilu. Now you won’t be swimming as fast but at least the machine can not move. For now at least. 

You swim towards it, taking out your knife, which you always had on you, and attempting to break the glass. It’s no use, you only manage to get a small crack in before it breaks free from the plant’s hold. You decide on swimming away before it can get you. Though a part of you felt as if swimming away was useless since it could catch up to you easily. As you swim away you can hear it breaking free and you know that you are going to get caught. You can’t even swim as fast because you need to breath since you have been holding your breath for far too long. Your chest feels tight, you need air. 

You can hear it coming towards you as you struggle to breathe, what you don’t hear is an ilu coming up behind you. You feel someone quickly grab you and you get onto their ilu, sitting behind the person while having their hair in your face. 

It was your brother, Neteyam. 

His ilu swims away from the machine and you feel yourself get lightheaded. You need air. Neteyam gets off of his ilu, and helps you swim into a plant which has a pocket of air. You cling onto the walls of the the plant, gasping for air. 

“Thanks.” You manage to get out in between breaths. You can feel your head start to pound as you lean it against the wall of the plant. He puts his hand on your head. 

“Breathe.” He tells you, you nod at him. You watch as he turns his head around, seeing a pair of light beams moving around. “Quick, they will find us soon. We need to go.” 

“Lets go then.” You both take a deep breath before going back under water and swimming away from the lights. You’re ilu bumps into you and you both get onto your ilu’s back. 

Eventually, you manage to find anoung and rotxo with kiri. ‘Where are the others?’ you sign to them. 

‘They got taken by the sky people.’ Aonung signed back. Your heart dropped. 

‘Stay here, we will go and get them.’ Neteyam signs. Once you see the three leave, you tell your ilu to go towards the boat, you see Payakan ahead of you. You stop and watch him. It seems as if he was up to something. 

You both watched as he jumped out of the water and onto the boat. Neteyam signalled for you to move, this was your chance at getting onto the ship while the humans are distracted. 

Thanks to Payakan, you both make it onto the ship, you see Tsireya, Tuk and Lo’ak with their hands tied to the railing. You cut Tsireya and Tuk free while Neteyam helps Lo’ak. 

“Who’s the mighty warrior? Come on say it.” 

“Bro..” 

 Tuk clings onto you and you have Tsireya behind you, you expected Neteyam and Lo’ak to start running off the boat with you but Lo’ak starts to run further into the boat. 

“Lo’ak!” You grab his hand. 

“They have spider, we have to go get him.” 

Neteyam puts his hand on your shoulder, you look at him. “I’ll go with him, we’ll get spider and come back to you guys.” 

“No, it’s dangerous. Either of you could not make it back out!” You argue back. 

“We will be fine sister. Look, you can come with us or take Tsireya and Tuk back safely.” Lo’ak tells you. You look back at the two girls behind you then back at your brothers. 

What do you choose?

Go with your brothers to get spider

Go with Tuk and Tsireya and get them to safety

Who would win in one on one combat, no weapons, Neyteri or Jake?

Avatar seems to suffer sexual dimorphism as much as humans do.

While Neyteri is a skilled fighter, and Jake was less of a skilled hand-to-hand combat fighter at least initially, my money's on Jake.

———————————————

Alue’k wished that life could stay like this forever, her family wrapped around her as she basked in their warmth.

She was safe and she felt loved.

However, time doesn’t stand still forever.

Jake was the first to pull away, hands lingering on Neyteris him and Lo’aks neck. Jake looked at his family and took it all in, the memories, the loss, the feeling of being misplaced. He knew how they felt and if he wasn’t so dam obsessed with trying to learn there new ways and keep them safe he’d have noticed that they were all struggling.

Neteyams birthright was taken away from him and he was plunged into this new way of life head first. Lo’ak and Kiri were drowning in abuse they revived for being “different”. Tuk was stripped of her home and friend, and while she seemed to be acclimating well to these new waters who knows what was going on in that little head of hers. Neytiri, his Neytiri. She had given up everything, her family, her status and the only home she’s ever known.

Jake continued to drown in his thoughts, eyes darkening as he thinks about all the pain he’s causing his family. Neytiri is quick to see her husband pain, it radiates of him; so much so that she feels it. She knows his struggle, loss, pain and suffering, his struggles of realisation, overcoming and growth.

Their pain is the thing that brings them together and tears them apart.

So that’s what they would do now, after being torn apart they would come together. Hold each other up, heaping each other support their family, their children.

It took everything Alue’k had to pull away from her family’s warmth but once she had managed to pry herself from the comfort of her family’s eyes around her. She looked up towards her parents, tears pooling in her eyes.

Alue’k - Can we go home?

Her voice was hoarse, it sounded as if she had swallowed the roughest sand in the hole of Awa'atlu. It broke Neytiris heart to hear her daughter voice sounding so beaten. What hurt the most however was when she finally took in all of her daughter. Her bruised eye, blood speckled lips and red stinging eyes.

Neytiri pulled Alue’k closer, holding her softly but firm. Jake bent down to be at level with the young girl, his own eyes filled with sorrow as salty tears started to pool into the corner of his eyes. He wouldn’t cry. He had to be strong, had to be strong for Alue’k.

He gently pulled her from Neytiris protective arms, said mother had to stop herself from hissing and bearing her teeth at her husband as he cradled their daughter to his chest and gently picked her up, making sure to be as slow with his movements as possible.

Neteyam was quiet to pick up Tuk who was slowly swaying on her feet, tonight had been exhausting especially for an eight year old who had spent the better half of the night crying her heart out. As soon as she rested her head into the crook of Neteyams neck she was out like a light. 

The hole of the Sully family made their way back to their Mauri. Once they were there Jake gently sat down placing Alue’k on top of his chest, her tail dangling to the side, he sometimes forgot how small Alue’k really was. Her small body managing to fit perfectly on top of her father. Neytiri carefully took Tuk from Neteyam as she quietly went to lay next to her husband and second youngest, Tuk cradled softly in her arms.

Neteyam laid next to his mom, her arm wrapped around him. Warm and comforting as Neytiri gently played with her sons hair hoping it would relax him. 

Kiri was next, curling herself into her brothers side, his arms wrapped around her. She could finally rest knowing that her family were safe, however the dark feeling quickly reignited as she remembered Spider, her friend who they left behind. She really missed him.

Lastly Lo’ak made his way over to the family cuddle pile, he cuddled into his dad side. 

An hours or so had passed and the only ones still awake where Jake and Lo’ak. Jake couldn’t sleep as his little girl kept twitching with fear, nightmares of the days events playing in her little head. Jake wished he could make it better, he prayed to Eywa to make it stop, to make her stop hurting.

Alue’k had struggled at the start but after reassurance from her parents that they would be their to keep her safe she finally managed to let her heavy eyes close and slowly drifted to sleep.

Alue’k - … Daddy, promise?

Jakes eyes softened.

Jake - I promise baby girl, me and mama will be here. We’ll keep you safe.

Lo’ak couldn’t sleep but got an entirely different reason. Guilt plagued his mind, he is the big brother, he was meant to protect her.

Quiet tears slipped down his cheeks as he tried not to wake his family, however Jake noticed. He pulled his son closer, tugging gently on his side braid to get his attention. Lo’ak looked up at his father, gilt visible on his face.

Jake - Son, it’s not your fault. 

Lo’ak let out a sob as he buried his face into his dads side. Jake, pulled his son back and pulled his chin up so they were looking eye to eye.

Jake - Hey baby boy, look at me. It’s not your fault. You can’t blame yourself. Sometimes the people we love her hurt and there nothing we can do about it. All we can do now, is make sure she is happy and safe but that’s me and your mamas job. We want all of you to be safe because we love you.

Lo’ak didn’t know how to react so he just snuggled into his dads side and gently took Alue’ks twitching hand, hoping it would sooth some of her nightmares.

Jake heart warmed as he watched his youngest son, he lent to the side kissing Lo’aks forehead.

Jake - Your a good kid Lo’ak, you’re my kid, never forget that.

Lo’ak hummed, nuzzling into his dads side a sod purr doming from his chest.

Lo’ak - Love you dad.

Jake - Love you son.

In the days after

I dunno what i wanna do with this. I’ve had it for a while but it needs...more.

Anyways, enjoy this little blerby thing i made but haven’t touched for a while. I technically have more but idk what i wanna do with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“<They are not warriors. They are children. Your children.>”

“<Oh yeah? Why don’t you tell that to the sky people who won’t think twice when they’re shooting at them!>”

It was another one of those nights. Neteyam’s death had only brought more of them. The mourning was long and hard. It weighed heavily in Neytiri’s heart. The mere thought of him made her hand raise up to the necklace she had taken from his lifeless body. His spirit was with Eywa and his body placed with the ancestors of the Metkayina, his song cord finished, but this little piece of him she couldn’t let go. Under her fingertips the cold beads only reminded her of the hurt she suffered that day.

“<Then what was the point in running away?! If they are just going to follow us and our children still aren’t safe? I trusted you. I put my trust in you Jake, and nothing you promised has come true! I do not know if my clan is safe. Our family is not safe. Our first-born son should be proof enough of that!>”

“<I did everything I could to protect this family! I gave up everything! You aren’t the only one hurting Neytiri. I lost a son too!>”

“<You gave up everything? I lost my father to the sky people. I lost my sister. I lost Seze. I lost my home, twice. Jake. I have been made to flee from my home when I wanted to fight. You gave up everything? I have lost so much and yet I continue to lose. You have given me much Jake Sully, but you have also taken much more than you can imagine.>”

“<What do you want from me Neytiri?!>”

“<I want my family to be safe and protected! Which you cannot seem to do!>”

Jake didn’t seem to react to the venom in Neytiri’s words. He froze for a moment before the eyes that bore down into her own faltered for a moment while hers remained steadfast in their gaze. She felt scorned. And she did not regret her statements. Not yet at least. The realization and pain would only hit after she had enough time to think about it and reflect. He was the father of her children after all. She loved Jake. But she was so angry with him. How could you forgive someone who has done such horrible things to you? How could you not forgive someone who has blessed you with so much? Stones would be laid in her heart tonight when he didn’t return to their shared space.

He’d be back eventually, just like usual. Some nights it was Neytiri that left, others it was Jake. But they always came back to each other. She would apologize later but for now she sat down on the woven flooring and began tracing the patterns in it as an attempt to calm her mind. Her people were known for their weaving of textiles and fabrics but those were for an entirely different purpose than these suspended floorings and walkways. It reminded her of home. A home she may never be able to see again. The thought caused her eyes to drift towards the opening of the Mauri pod she and her family had been gifted to stay in.
