Spider/Aonung would do so good together, because I just know that there wouldn't be one person who would actually approve.

Tonowari and Ronal would frown with disappointment at their son for choosing to court a demon, an outsider, an offspring of the enemy. Tonowair is sighing as he continues introducing Aonung to local boys and girls (not particularly caring about what gender Aonung likes, just wanting it to be someone of their kind.)

Ronal includes his name in her prayers more frequently now. She asks Eywa to quide Aonung to the right person, and Eywa is probably tired of doing so, yet not being recognized for it.

Jake and Ney'tiri are also disappointed, Jake because he knows he's the one who should be keeping Spider on a tighter leash, and here the kid is, just doing whatever the fuck he wants instead.

Ney'tiri is judging both Spider and Aonung, Spider she doesn't have much of a reason to other than the obvious, but Aonung because she thinks there are just so many better choices.

Lo'ak and Tsireya would probably be fine with it up to a point where they can both pretend to be fine with it. Lo'ak definitely has issues with the relationship because he does not like Aonung (for obvious reasons) and also because now Spider is placed in a completely different light for him. Going from this dude-bro to hangout with, to a man who likes-likes other men and is in a relationship with one.

Tsireya doesn't want to admit that her mother and Ney'tiri are both right in hating the humans as a whole, because she has a reputation to uphold as peace keeper. She likes everyone and everyone likes her. She shouldn't judge Spider for being human, and she shouldn't judge Aonung for loving him. But she can't help but notice, along side Ney'tiri, Tonowari, Lo'ak and Ronal that, yes, there are better choices.

Kiri is not with it, not against it. She can't decide. She harbors some kind of mutant, unknown feeling for Spider, and knows Aonung is an asshole. She's shares the opinion with Lo'ak that Aonung doesn't deserve Spider, but she knows she shouldn't and doesn't have the right to judge either of them in wanting to be together.

Rotxo probably doesn't know what's going on, he's a little lost, and then when he does learn, he is still lost. He doesn't like humans and the shit they do, but he is mature enough to realize that there are always exceptions, and Spider is one of them. He is good friends with Aonung but also knows the guy's an asshole. He wishes both most of luck, but doesn't believe it will work out.

Norm feels icky about the whole thing. They're both so young and Spider is so small while Aonung is so tall. He doesn't like thinking about what will happen when they both want to take their relationship to the next step. For now, he'll allow most things happening, and will maybe even defend the relationship when time comes to it, but other than that he also doesn't believe it will work out for a longer period, and part of him even hopes that it doesn't.

Spider and Aonung feel like a feshly married couple on their honeymoon. They're taking walks by the beach, learning new things about each other, they're swimming in the ocean, they're suntanning, or they're watching movies, chatting during dinner, they're hanging out and really enjoying it. Aonung is braiding Spider's hair while whispering all kinds of dirty shit into his ear, he makes him bracelets and necklaces, catches the biggest fish for him etc. They're still only courting, but Aonung likes a fast pace, and everything about Spider is so enticing he can't hold back. He also has that weird thrill for getting caught, and it's not helping either of them. Spider is wearing all the jewelry he receives, cooking the fishes Aonung catches, he's the one you can hear shouting Aonung's name when he and Lo'ak start racing with their ilus, or are holding Who can get the biggest conch? contests.

They are swooning and touching, all while desperately trying to ignore the nasty glares everyone sends their way, either openly or by secret.

They're trying to stick together, because Lo'ak is right about Aonung; he is a screw up. And Ney'tiri is right about Spider; he is an outsider.

But at least they have each other. And for this short period of time where the beaches are quiet, and there is no imminent danger waiting to bounce on their backs, they're happy.

Hiii friend!! Could i get a Norm adopts the Sarentu ask kids and also Spider? In this universe the timeline is a bit different, right after the final battle of A1 the Sarentu are still kids and after Ahari’s death, Alma manages to help them escape and send them far away ( aka to where the omatikaya live) so Mercer can’t get to them. And there Norm adopts them after he had already adopted Spider. And then siblings shenanigans ensue.

OOOOOOOOOOOH~!!! YES YES YES~!! TIME FOR NORM TO SHINE ON THIS ONE! HOPE YOU ENJOY~!

P.S: The sarentu player is named paw in this story , also paw and telisi are girls. Yefti is mute and a boy!

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

Full house

Norm was just norm. A skinny, nerdy guy with a huge fascination with anything foreign and new. He was just as normal as his name. Norm. He is not much of a warrior like his best friend, or a snappy, demanding director like his old friend and mentor Grace. Yes he is strong when needed to be, not afraid to be in the front lines when it is called.

He is not a lot of things. That much is certain. What norm is, is a nature loving, gentle soul, loyal, respectful, kinda, and above all, loving.

What norm is not, or more over, what he never thought he would ever be, is a parent.

Not a parent to one child, he never expected he would be a parent to 9 children.

One human, and 8 na’vi children.

“You’re kidding” norm says, not really believing what he just heard.

“I am not, believe me norm, I almost didn't believe it at first either” Jake says.

“No, I have to hear it myself. Replay it” norm says, max nods, replaying a message they were sent just an hour ago.

It was an audio, a bit scuffled but loud and clear was the voice of a woman.

“Hello? This is Alma Cortez. I am a researcher and Co director of TAP. An education branch of the RDA. I don't have a lot of time but I am seeking help from the RDA rebels, more specifically Jake sully, aka Toruk Makto, and Grace Agustine. There are na’vi children here being held against their will. They need help and I alone cannot do it. I need-God damn it! Grace if you are hearing this, please! I need your help! They are not all dead! I repeat! The Sarentu children are alive!”

Norm can say he has been into battles and raids enough times to see some patterns, alternatives, can even predict how it will end. Call it cheesy but he is the man of loyalty and would do anything to protect those he cares about.

Among the people he has come to care about more than his own life, was his newly adopted son that enjoy being called “spider”

Bright, crazy, and will try different ways to kill himself simply by being curious of the world he was born in. A walking happy, stress inducing little being spider is for Norm. Full of surprises, and norm enjoys that.

The biggest surprise was him being born.

And norm is always grateful for that, always thanking Eywa everyday. Yup, parenthood sure is something not many today plan for.

“Well, each of us can watch over him, like that old saying goes, ‘it takes a village to raise a child’” Max suggests. A group of the science guys have found baby spiders in the old dormitories for the female soldiers. Only a few months old, skinny little guy.

It wasn't long before they did a DNA scan of who he belonged to. The results were both scary yet unsurprising. It was after that many did not wish to get involved with the baby.

“I will do it” , the norm says, more like announcing it.

Picking up spider, wrapping him up in his little blankie, he says it again, “I will be his parent”

“Does this count as a reverse kidnapping?” Max asks.

It was night, using nature to cover the scorpion plane, waiting for an important package. Jake, Norm, Trudy, Max and Grace were all waiting patiently for Alma to come to them with the sarentu children that were being held within the human facility.

“I see it as a rescue mission” Trudy says, her eyes not being away from her port.

“It is a rescue mission” Grace affirms, her eyes scanning through the foliage for any movement. Being silent and listening carefully for any sounds of footsteps. Her concentration was a bit out of character for her. None have seen her this serious before.

“It will be a huge cultural shock to these poor kids” max says, filling out the silence of the soundless night.

“Cultural? More of a world shock, metal walls and holograms is all they ever knew” Jake replies. All of them have heard the tragic news of a fallen na’vi clan, how there were no survivors and even more tragic there was no way to help them. Grace was more hit on a personal level, felt more helpless, as feeling that it was somehow her fault when really it wasn't.

“They will struggle, a lot of struggling, getting back to their roots and relearn everything. It's very sad " Norm comments. His thoughts drift to spider, thinking what it would have been like for his son. To be brainwashed and never been allowed to do things that he was born to do. A hell no child should go through.

“I know I am thinking ahead but…..who will take in these kids?” Trudy asks suddenly.

“Hi! Im spider! And I am your big brother!” little spider proudly points to himself as he talks to the newly arrived na’vi children. He was so excited to meet them the moment norm told him who was coming. New friends and new siblings!

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Jake asks, he and his friends huddle on the farthest corner of the old hells gate. Everyone watching the sarentu children carefully.

“They seem very comfortable with spider” Max points out.

“Its because he is human, didn't you see their faces? Seeing native na’vi? They looked horrified, "Grace whispers.

“STAY AWAY!! LEAVE US ALONE!!”

“ENGLISH!! WE DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU!!”

“THEY ARE GOING TO KILL US!!”

8 sarentu children huddled together, tears flowing down from their eyes, little bodies trembling in fear. Circling the younger ones, as they all scream and cry in utter terror. Surrounding them was what was supposed to be a welcoming celebration to these unfortunate children. What was supposed to be loving, cheerful, and harmouns, the children only feared things that they don't understand.

And what they dont understand is the native na’vi are right in front of them, speaking in a language they dont understand.

“And what is your name…?” Norm asks softly to the sniffling children, after what felt like forever with a touch of a miracle, the sarentu children have calmed down. A great thanks to Norm. Using his already experience with spider, he flawlessly managed to gather the 8 children and have them stop crying.

“M-my name is nor…” the little boy stutters out as he wipes away his tears. Holding hands with little teylan and ri’nela.

“That is a wonderful name, and you” norm compliments as he turns to one of the little girls. Looking down shyly as she plays with her hands, “my name is paw….”

“Im t-telisi….” another little girl says, being slightly more confident. Holding her hand was one of the older children. He was trying to look tough, brave and tall. Norm knew he too was scared inside but rather not show it.

“This is Yuayt….and-”

“ACHOO!!”

Telisi was cut off from a sneeze, coming from another little girl.

“And she is okni, she gets sick easily,” Telisi informs.

Okni was rubbing her nose when another little boy, ripping a piece of his shirt to wipe her nose.

“And that is yefti….”

Norm took a good look at all of the sarentu children. He was about the make the more bizarre choice ever in his life. Perhaps more bizarre than all of the bizarre ideas. He was gonna make all of these sarentu children into Spellman children.

“Come on slow pokes!!”

“Yeah! I'm smaller yet faster than any of you!!”

“Telisi! Spider! Be Careful!”

9 little spellman children were exploring the vast forest that was now their forever home. There is always an adventure to explore, little mysteries to solve and skills to hone.

Spider and Telisi make way for their other siblings as they fearlessly go ahead. Not far behind was nor and ri��nela with teylan between them. Nor trying his best to keep while ri’nela takes her sweet time. Behind them yuayt giving okni a piggyback right while paw was holding okni’s hand and yefti being comfortably silent beside them.

“Feeling any better okni?” paw asks, giving her sister a gentle squeeze on her hand. Okni nods, giving a reassuring smile.

“That medicine better work, or else we will use the medicine that humans use” yuayt says.

Paw frowns a bit, “don't be like that, the tsahik is a master of healing. It is her life's job, why do you still doubt her skills?” she asks her brother. Yefti also gives a disapproving look to his brother.

“It's been a year already and Okni is still sick. In my eyes, there hasn't been any changes” yuayt replies.

“She stopped having accidents at night. Not puking as much and can now sleep through the night without any interruptions. I see that as major progress” yefti signs. Trying to points out the positive outcomes from mo’ats medicines.

“He is right, and okni can eat more now!” paw adds.

“Not enough” yuayt scoffs.

“Dont be meanie” okni whispers as she gently pokes her brother's cheek.

Yuayt stopped complaining after that.

“Spider! Telisi! Slow down! Ma’eywa!” nor shouts, giving up on telling his siblings to not go that far ahead.

Ri’nela giggles as she helps Teylan go over a big tree root.

“It is futile brother, they are just too energetic” she says. Nor sighs, she is right. Out of everyone, his two older siblings are such a chaotic duo. They were slowing down for the other trio to catch up.

Teylan looks over to see yefti and smiles, “YEEYEE!!” he shouts excitedly.

Yefti smiles, seeing his baby brother and runs over to him. Teylan reaches out his little arms, wanting to be picked up, to which yefti happily complies.

“You spoil him brother” nor says.

Yefti merely shrugs, “it makes him happy. Also he wants to copy okni” he signs.

“Speaking of, I can carry okni if you are getting tired yuayt” ri’nela offers as her brother gets closer.

Yuayt shakes his head, “im fine, okni is lighter than that little fatty”

Okni hit him in the back of the head, “done be a meanie, teylan isnt fat, just squishy” she gently scolds.

“Eerr….teylan’s appetite is growing…” paw says.

“Its fine, with all the running and climbing, he won't be squishy forever” ri’nela says as she gives teylan a playful pinch on his chubby cheeks.

“He won't if yefti keeps carrying him like a baby” nor comments.

“Teylan is a baby” yefti signs.

“I'm gonna beat you spider man!!” telisi teases.

“NEVER!!! They don't call me monkey boy for nothing!!” spider shouts.

Both laugh and cheer to their hearts content as they run through the vast forest, not caring to stop. Letting the wind hit their faces, overcoming any obstacle and quick thinking.

Climbing to the floating mountains do they see their goal.

“I'm gonna win~!!” telisi shouts enthusiastically.

Spider summoned all his strength and went even faster, going past telisi and makes the leap of faith.

“SPIDER!!!” his sister screams, stopping to witness him jump from the edge of the cliff and flying towards the nearest landing.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!”

Spider braced for impact, his side landing first on the rocky ground. Grunting in pain, and a bit dizzy, he shakly gets up. Dusting off the dirt and rubble, he laughs.

“HA!!! I WIN!!” he cheers.

Telisi shakes her head, huffing loudly.

“Dad is going to skin you…”

“OOOOOOOWW!! OWOWOWOWOW!!!” the spider squeaks in pain.

Ri’nela sighs, trying to gently tend to his bruising and scratches.

“You are lucky dad is busy with Jake, he will be very angry when he finds out what you did” she scolds her big brother.

Spider chuckles a bit, “I couldn't let telisi beat me, my record would be broken”

“I like competition brother, but never when it comes to risking our lives” telisi shouts across from the room they are in.

Okni hears spider in pain, and quietly goes over to him, silently offering some of her medicine. Spider gently denies.

“I'm ok sis. Don't waste your medicine, you need it more than I do”

Okni slight frowns. Offering it again.

“Spider is right. It is not easy for the tsahik to make that medicine, okni. Only you can use it” ri’nela says as she adds the last bandaged on spider’s side.

“Kiri can make some. We can ask her” okni finally speaks, clutching her herb pouch.

“Kiri is too busy looking at pretty flowers to make medicine” yuayt scoffs. He and teylan were messing with some old technology equipment. More like yuayt trying to make sure no small piece gets into teylan’s mouth.

“Can anything positive come out of your snarky mouth?” nor asks a bit sarcastically. Earning a glare from yuayt, “When you stop bitching like a-”

“Ok that's enough you two” spider interrupts what could be another round of word fighting.

Yuayt rolls his eyes, lifting teylan from the table, handing him over to yefti who gladly accepts. Grabbing his knife and gun, he makes his way to the exit. The other kids following his movement.

“And where are you going?” telisi asks.

“Somewhere” yuayt replies and leaves.

Almost everyone shakes their head.

“I will get the fire started, no doubt he is coming back with some good yerik” ri’nela informs. Telisi and Paw quickly helped her.

Norm walks into his home after saying his nightly farewells to Jake and his family. It was a long day with so many things to do, but happy he will come home to his kids. Chuckling to himself, norm cant help but smile widely. It has been a year since the kids were rescued from the hellish TAP facility and already have grown so much.

A lot has happened, overcoming trauma is not an easy thing. The Sarentu children were easily scared when starting to live here. Scared about everything, even seeing other na’vi. Norm still couldnt believe a lot has progressed over one year. Though not all is perfect and not every wound is healed.

There is still a lot left to do for these kids, his kids.

And speaking of his kids, norm opens the door and-

“TOO MUCH SALT IS BAD!!”

“NO! IT MAKES IT TASTY!!”

“WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET THAT?!”

“FROM YOUR ASS! WHERE ELSE IDIOT! THE KITCHEN!”

Yup, another round of spellman chaos.

“HEY!”

All the spellman children stopped what they were doing and stared at norm.

“DAD!!” they all cheered. Forgetting about their argument, everyone ran towards their father. Jumping on him, hugging him, shouting so many things at the same time.

“Easy! One at a time!” He tries to settle down the kids.

“Dad! Nor added too much salt into the stew!”

“So what?!”

“Daaaaaaaaaaad!! Yuayt called nor a bitch again!”

“Dad dad dad!!! Spider did a dumb move today!!”

“Why are you snitching on me!? Dad I know who telisi’s crush is”

“DON'T YOU DARE!!”

“OK OK!! QUIET DOWN!!” norm shouts.

Everyone dispersed, giving norm room to get up and observe what is going on. From the smell and obvious pot cooking, it smelled like yerik meat stew. Knowing instantly, norm turns to yauyt.

“Did you hunt today?” he asks.

Yuayt shrugs, “why ask if you already know the answer”

Yefti slapped his arm, “really?” he signs.

Paw tugged on norms shirt, eagerly wanting to say something.

“Yes paw?” norm turns to her.

“Can we watch a movie after eating?” she asks, trying to look cute to convince him. Ruffling her hair, norm smiles, “lets eat first then we shall se

“Dad,” Telisi calls. Now turning to her, norm lets her continue.

“Spider jumped off a cliff and almost died” she tattles.

“SPIDER WHAT?!”

“SNITCHES GET STITCHES!!” spider warns.

“WHO IS WEARING THE STITCHES RIGHT NOW?!”

“Finally…..” norm can breathe in relaxation. After a hearty meal the food coma hit everyone.

Norm tucks little teylan between paw and yefti. Beside paw was Okni, who was also beside yuat. On the other side of yefti was nor and ri’nela. Spider and Telisi were sleeping over their other sleeping siblings. As if to protect them even as they slumber through the night.

Norm quietly observes the children. Everyday he gives his best, gives his thanks as he couldnt believe his luck. 9 beautiful children. Chaotic and rowdy but good kids.

Many wonder how norm does it. Every time he is asked, “how do you do it?” or “have you lost your mind yet?”

Many times was norm close to losing his mind, but knows better. Constantly reminding himself that his children could have been in worse situations. That they wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the call for help.

Jake at times would say “got a full house there norm”

Yeah, he was right. A single man trying to raise 9 kids does insane, lunatic, but norm enjoys all of it. And there is nothing in this world or the next would norm trade it for anything. His kids are not just sarentu or human kids, no, they are spellman children and norm be damned if others say anything else.

Aaaaaaaand that is it for this one! This fic took me a good while because I was trying to get every scrap of information about the other sarentu children. See what personalities I can create.

Until the other sarentu children are properly shown in the frontiers, this is what I cam up with. So I hope you guys enjoyed it! Until next time! See ya!
