    Summary

    So would it really be a stretch to assume that, maybe, Aonung was going out of his way to keep his schedule clear for Neteyam because he liked him? Or at least because he liked spending time with him?

    He wasn't getting ahead of himself, was he?

    But he had no way of testing his 'theory'.

    A hand tucking his braid behind his ear snapped Neteyam out of his thought, and the omatikayan focused his attention back on his current companion - who looked a mixture of amused and fond as the said companion observed aloud:

    "You're spacing out again."

    Neteyam didn't have the heart to swat the lingering hand away.

    "I'm thinking."

    "About what?"

    "About how you've changed so much."

    It wasn't the entire truth, but it was a part of it.

     

    or Neteyam miraculously survived, and his first order of business? To find out whether a certain metkayina boy returns his feelings or not. (Aonung absolutely does.)

    alternatively: aonunete flirts and everyone is tired of them.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of battle, Jake must reckon with who he was as a soldier in a war and who he wants to be as a father. His first task must be picking up the pieces of the family his own single-minded determination helped to break.

    Summary

    Then, a dozen bullets whistle towards Neteyam instead, and a pinching burn spreads from the center of his shoulder and numbs the length of his left arm in less than an instant. He shrieks, feeling another sink into his thigh before he stumbles sideways, almost blinded by the dazzling, fire-like pain. The dryness in his mouth dissipates as the distinctly metallic taste of arrowheads overtakes it, leaving him gagging in the onslaught.

    But then something drops down from the overhead rafters, sleek and heavy and Neteyam is being curled to a chest and rolled before his brain manages to process the thought that he’s been shot.

    In which, Neteyam has always been to young for this war and Jake isn't going to let his son die before it's over.

    Summary

    "Aonung," his father said, looking at his son with a faraway look, as if the oloeyktan was recalling a fond memory. "When the time comes, you will find the fire in someone's eyes so beautiful, that you will be willing to burn - just to see them glow," his father said, not making sense at all.

    A few years later, it shocked the metkayina boy greatly when the first thought he had, as he looked into a stern pair of eyes, was of how breathtaking the shade of gold that he could find there, along with the fire softly crackling behind them.

    All he could think about was how he was an idiot.

    An idiot for not asking his father what he should do if he ever found someone that he was willing to burn for.

     

    or Aonung wanted Neteyam's eyes to be on him at all times, but he learnt from his father that the best way to grab attention was 'by pissing the 'person of interest' of.

    Summary

    He needed to get their attention focused on the information he could offer, instead of the threat he represented. He needed them to not immediately see him as a danger and try to kill him. Just a friendly demon here for a friendly chat, no need for weapons.

    “Hey. You know your boyfriend is trapped in your sword, right?”

    So, yeah, that didn’t work.

    Summary

    He figures out that the loop has a set time. It always begins with Lo’ak lying on his mat in the family marui the morning of the battle, and it always ends the next day as he connects to the Spirit Tree at Neteyam’s funeral.
    Nothing changes, and Neteyam dies. And dies, and dies, and dies.
    Is this his punishment? Is this Lo’ak’s penitence for causing his brother's death, for killing Neteyam like his dad always said he would?
    “Eywa,” he begs, “what is happening to me?”
    Silence answers him.

    or,

    Neteyam can't stop dying, and Lo'ak can't stop waking up that morning to save him.

    Summary

    Lo’ak’s eyes lift. “Promise?”

    Jake lifts his pinky. “Pinky promise.”

    Lo’ak’s smaller pinky wraps around it, serious as anything.

    “See?” Jake says softly. “That’s another thing others can’t do—but we can. And pinky promises never break.”

    Lo’ak nods solemnly. “Ever?”

    Jake squeezes his finger gently. “Ever.”

    .  . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

    Jake Sully loves his son. He just doesn’t always understand him.

    Told primarily through Jake’s POV before, during, and after The Way of Water, this fic explores Lo’ak’s childhood, rebellion, and the cost of silence, carrying its consequences forward into Fire and Ash, where love, guilt, and survival are anything but simple.

    Summary

    ‘’Is it a dream or some kind of memory?’’ Neteyam asks, just because he has to know.

    ‘’What do you want it to be?’’ comes a question in return.

    ‘’Something real.’’

    Ao’nung's hand covers his. Their fingers, like it's only one proper way for them to be, slip between all each other’s free spaces.

    ‘’Then it could be, I guess.’’ he says, ‘’Something real.’’

    Summary

    Ao'nung was born Nì’aw, the marked one, one of the Syawntu, which means somewhere there, there's his soulmate, his fated one, his Txe’lan, to whom his heart sings.

    Ao'nung hates it. He wishes he could be normal, fall for anyone, wishes he could spend his days without this fathomless longing inside of his chest that knows no direction.

    But then, one day, six Omatikaya come from the sky and when he lays his eyes on one of them, he can't imagine the world could ever be any different.

    Summary

    The year was 1994 and Fred Weasley was feeling optimistic, but that was no surprise. He couldn't possibly foresee all that the next four years would hold, the ways his life would swell and twist. He had no idea the ways in which the smallest of choices, seemingly insignificant moments, could shape everything to come.

    Or, Fred and Hermione are separated from the rest of the group during the Death Eater attack at the Quidditch World Cup and this small change profoundly impacts not only the two people whom it concerns but the events that unfold over the next four years.

    Summary

    That fateful night beneath Drake's Head finds Joshua indeed arriving one moment sooner to alter Cid's fate, to reunite with his beloved family, and to change his life in a way he never expected. For how could he possibly resist the charms of the Hideaway's noble leader? Yet equally he fears the sting of rejection, and must gather his courage if he is ever to confess such affection before the final confrontation with Ultima. Little does he know that Cid himself wars with his own attraction to the young lord. An aging outlaw like him with the future Archduke? Surely, that's the kind of match that could only survive in a fairy tale.

    Summary

    “Back in Tartarus… you told me I was not like you, and to come back when I've exhausted my options,” Jamil said, his voice steady, but the slight tremble of his fingers betrayed his anger.

    “Well, I'm here now, and this is my last one,” Jamil held his gaze, “do you want me to be the same as you?”

    Jamil is suffering a generational curse and he desperately needs someone to help free him. So naturally he asks for the most reliable partner; Leona Kingscholar.

    Summary

    “Did you need something?” He asked, the words slipping easily and hanging frozen in the air as he realized the person at the door was not his sister. The skin tone, though only slightly lighter, belonged to a completely different sort. “Master Al-Asim,” he choked out, dropping into a low bow as he registered the man at the door.
    
    The man didn't dignify him with a response, each moment of silence twisting deeper in Jamil's gut like the jagged edge of a blade. He didn't dare speak, not with the burning fire in the man's eyes. Something had displeased him, and Jamil found himself the sole focus of that fury. Finally, Master Al-Asim huffed through his nose, jerking his chin toward the door.
    
    “Follow me.”

    Summary

    The prince’s affection for the knight was clear as day and Joshua admonished himself for feeling hurt by it. To start with, it was ridiculous to hope that he has a chance with him after all those years without communication. It was a fleeting fantasy, the leftover affection for the boy he knew twelve years ago fueled by the information, songs, and adoration that he heard from other people. He would get over it, he comforted himself.

    As the Phoenix, Joshua was used to fire coursing through his veins. He was meant to burn as the Warden of Fire, as the ruler of life and death. But to burn as a weapon or as a healer is one thing, to burn with desire is another.

    And he must desist.

    "It's simple," Leona pushes off from the fence he was leaning against, in the back of your mind you're impressed that Ramshackle's gate didn't collapse from the weight of the lion in front of you and at the same time you wish it did just to see his handsome, smug face falter for just a second.

    "You stay at my place for a few days over break. Catch is, you have to do anything I tell you to do. Whatever you decide, I'm leaving tomorrow morning with or without you, so ya better figure it out, mousey."

    You glare at his back as he nonchalantly walks away, and sigh. Are you really desperate enough to depend on Leona Kingscholar again?

    ...Yes. Yes, you are.

    Ramshackle's prefect is (again) homeless for a few days.
    They should be grateful for the offer to stay at the Sunset Savanna with Leona. But their feelings towards the upperclassman are... Complicated.
    Leona is worse off. He just wants to see the calm, collected prefect finally break and be honest about how they feel. Nothing more than that.

    Summary

    Father is painfully aware the way Lyney had lost his head, had stormed headfirst into Wriothesley’s trap without a second thought. She knows that he had lost his temper, had dropped his flawless act. She knows that he’d been given a choice, and that he had hesitated, had chosen to protect her rather than his siblings.

    She hasn’t mentioned it, yet.

    It only contributes to Lyney’s slowly mounting anxiety. She’s disappointed in him, he knows. She knows he knows. And yet, she continues to let him stew.

    But a mission is different. A mission is easy when Wriothesley’s not involved.
