Neteyam Masterlist
At seven months, you are no longer able to pretend you are not obviously pregnant.
The whole clan knows it. The children know it. Jake knows it, which means half the village knows it by extension. But Neteyam acts like your pregnancy is still the most fragile, sacred, potentially catastrophic thing he has ever seen.
Which is why he is currently following you around the marui with a damp cloth in one hand and water in the other, looking like a very handsome guard assigned to protect a very stubborn temple.
โI am not made of glass,โ you tell him for the third time.
Neteyam, without missing a beat, answers, โNo. Glass would be easier.โ
You stare at him.
He keeps going, completely sincere. โGlass does not kick.โ
You look down at your stomach, where your son gives a very determined little kick in direct response.
Neteyam notices immediately and lights up like he felt it too.
โThere,โ he says softly. โYou see?โ
You sigh, smiling despite yourself. โHe is not trying to attack me.โ
โHe is testing limits.โ
โYou sound like your father.โ
Neteyam lifts a brow. โThat is insulting.โ
You laugh, and he looks a little too pleased that he made you do it.
It has been this way for weeks now. He brings you fruit before you ask. He keeps the sleeping mat extra soft. He starts every sentence with your name like he is checking whether you are still okay. If you stand too quickly, he is already at your side. If you wince, he has a hand on your back before you even explain why.
You know some of it is concern. Some of it is excitement. And some of it is pure helpless love.
It shows in the way he talks to the baby too.
In low, absentminded murmurs when he thinks you are sleeping. In the way he rests his palm against your belly and says, โEasy, little one.โ In the way his face changes every time the child kicks hard enough for him to feel it.
This afternoon, you catch him crouched beside the woven basket of baby things Neytiri has already begun stacking in a corner, holding a tiny shell rattle and looking very serious about it.
โWhat are you doing?โ you ask.
He looks up, guilty for exactly half a second. โNothing.โ
You laugh. โYou are absolutely doing something.โ
Neteyam glances down at the rattle in his hand. โI was deciding whether this is too small.โ
โFor what?โ
โFor his hand.โ
You soften instantly.
Neteyamโs voice drops. โIt should fit well.โ
You move to sit beside him, your side pressing gently against his. โYou are getting ahead of yourself.โ
He gives you a look. โYou are carrying our son. I am allowed to get ahead.โ
You reach for the rattle and turn it in your fingers. โYouโve already made a whole life in your head.โ
โI have made several,โ he corrects.
You snort. โTell me one.โ
Neteyam looks down, embarrassed in the way only he can be when speaking about tenderness. โHe will have your eyes.โ
You blink.
โHe will also probably have your stubbornness,โ he adds, and now he is definitely smiling. โWhich means he will need to listen to me only half the time.โ
You laugh. โThat is not reassuring.โ
โIt is realistic.โ
Your belly shifts again, and you hiss softly, one hand going down at once.
Neteyam is instantly alert. โPain?โ
โNo,โ you say, catching his wrist before he can panic. โJust a strong kick.โ
His shoulders ease, but only barely. โHe is doing that too much.โ
You grin. โYou say that every time.โ
โBecause it is every time.โ
You lean into him, and he shifts so you can rest more comfortably against his shoulder. The two of you sit in the glow of the late afternoon while the village hums quietly around you.
After a while, Neytiri appears in the doorway, sees the scene, and pauses with a knowing look.
โYou have built a nest again,โ she says to Neteyam.
He blinks. โI did not build anything.โ
Neytiri glances at the sleeping mat, the extra pillows, the water skin, the fruit bowl, the spare blanket, the neatly folded cloths. Then she looks back at him.
โYou built too much.โ
Neteyamโs ears turn slightly pink.
You laugh. โHe is nesting.โ
Neytiriโs expression warms. โYes. He is.โ
Neteyam looks deeply betrayed by the accusation, but not enough to deny it.
Jake pokes his head in a moment later, takes one look at the room, and snorts.
โWow,โ he says. โYou two are getting ridiculous.โ
Neteyam turns slowly. โFather.โ
Jake points at the bedding. โThatโs not a bed anymore. Thatโs a supply camp.โ
Neteyam folds his arms. โYou are just jealous.โ
Jake laughs. โOf what?โ
โThat your grandchildren will be warmer than you were.โ
That makes Jake pause, then laugh harder. โThat was a good one.โ
You smile as Neteyam glances at you with open pride because he made you laugh and he knows it.
Later, when the clan quiets for the night, you find him still awake, standing near the opening of the marui and looking out into the dark.
โYou should sleep,โ you murmur.
He turns at once. โI was waiting for you.โ
You lift an eyebrow. โI was five feet away.โ
โExactly.โ
You walk over and place your hand over his heart. It beats a little faster under your palm.
โAre you worried?โ you ask softly.
His answer comes too fast. โYes.โ
You cup his face. โAbout me?โ
โAbout everything,โ he admits. โAbout the birth. About you hurting. About whether I will be enough.โ
Your chest tightens. โNeteyam.โ
He leans into your hand like he canโt help it.
โYou always are,โ you whisper.
His eyes shine, and now you know the fear is not just about the baby. It is about the possibility of losing what he already loves too much.
So you slide your arms around him carefully and pull him close.
โYou are not doing this alone,โ you say. โYou hear me?โ
He nods against your hair.
โAnd when you start pacing again,โ you add, โIโm going to sit on you.โ
That makes him laugh under his breath, the tension breaking just enough to let warmth in.
โYou would do that,โ he says.
โYes.โ
โI know.โ
You smile. โGood.โ
Neteyam kisses your forehead, then lowers one hand to your stomach with reverence.
โSleep,โ he murmurs to both of you. โThe two of you need it.โ
From inside, the baby kicks once, as if responding.
Neteyam smiles into the dark, utterly gone.
And you realize, as he keeps one careful arm around you and the other over the life growing inside you, that he has already become exactly what he was meant to be.
HEAR ME OUT: Pregnant Tamtey who gets VERY protective of her belly. She is hissing at literally everyone who looks at her wrong or gets too close for her liking. Even Soโlek/her mate might be on the receiving end.
Jakeโs first few attempts at recording logs areโฆ awkward to say the least. Heโs stiff and very obviously making it clear he does not want to be doing them. He sighs as he sits next to you, waiting for you to finish your very long and complicated rendition of the events from the day. When you finish, he rolls into your previous spot while Grace looks through her samples in the back of the video.
โOkay. This is video log 12. Times 21:32.โ He sighs with the most pitiful puppy dog eyes before turning around to Grace. โDo I have to do this now? I really need to get some rack.โ
โNo. Now.โ Grace deadpans, barely looking up from her microscope. โWhen itโs fresh.โ He sighs again, looking anywhere but the camera. His gaze lands on you, and he smiles, nodding towards the camera. โHelp me, pretty girl. Ours wonโt be any different anyway.โ You feel your own sigh build in your chest. Heโs not wrong, but you go into fairly long tangents about the fauna on Pandora.ย
โI really think weโre supposed to do it separately.โย
โSince when do I care? At least sit with me, help me if I forget anything.โ He smirks, he knows heโs milking this โhelpless with anything biology relatedโ and it keeps fucking working with you. You're a sucker for a sad face, really. Itโs pathetic.ย
So of course, you scoot your chair into the view of the screen and help Jake recount the day's events.ย
โOkay, location, shack, and the days are starting to blur together.โ Once he starts treating it like a spoken diary, he gets better, but the poor dude cannot, for the life of him, start a log normally.ย
โThe language is a pain, but, you know, I figure it's like field-stripping a weapon. Just repetition, repetition.โ
You take to the language significantly better than Jake, which is to be expected considering you have the background knowledge of the fauna and their scientific and common names. He enunciates too much, and you can tell itโs getting onto Neytiriโs nerves.ย
She starts by teaching you both anatomy words. Sheโs quizzing Jake, pointing to her big, pretty, and golden eyes, and she waits for Jake to tell her the correct name.ย
โNavi.โ Jake attempts, and Neytiri loses just the tiniest bit more of her patience. She leans forward, her ears pinning backwards. โNari.โ
โNari.โ Jake chops out, and she leans forward, stressing the rolled r with a grimace of annoyance. โNarrrri.โ
โNarrri,โ Jake repeats impatiently, and she huffs, smacking him with a dull thud. โEnough. Sevin โeve, you go. Here.โ You donโt even have time to correct her before sheโs pointing towards her neck, and you murmur the answer petulantly, โpewnโ.ย
Itโs a little embarrassing because Jake constantly calls you โpretty girlโ, and Neytiriโs taken to doing the same. Jakeโs a little too pleased by it, Neytiri giving you the same nickname. Itโs also caught on literally everywhere else. Grace smirks every time she says it, and Norm and Trudy giggle like two stupid kids. Youโre not sure at this point if youโd even recognize your real name being called. But if anyone weโre to askโฆit sounds the best coming from Neytiri.ย
It turns your stomach, the hold Jake and Neytiri have on you. Within weeks, youโve decided that Jake is the best friend youโve ever had. And youโve only just met him. But, heโs a softie under that โthick skinโ routine. He constantly looks for you, in both forms. You canโt be away from him more than a minute before heโs searching for you, a worried glint in his eye. You wish it didnโt give you butterflies every time you saw it.ย
Neytiri is no better for your poor, lonely heart. Sheโs significantly nicer to you than she is to Jake. However, sheโs no less touchy with either one of you. Sheโs a very hands-on tutor. You thought you might actually faint as she was teaching you how to use a bow. Sheโs pressed herself against your back, her breath puffing against the back of your neck as she adjusts your hold and aim. โYou areโฆtsk.โ She huffs, leaving your back to push against the front of your abdomen. โTxur ni'ul. Stronger here.โ She corrects your aim with quick precision, nodding for you to loosen the arrow. You watch as she does the same for Jake. Straight smacking him around to correct him. You have to turn away before either of them can catch you with an amused smile on your face. Jakeโs exactly where he wants to be; the poor guy doesnโt even flinch as Neytiri gives him hell.
โNeytiri calls me skxawng. It means moron.โ Jake murmurs into the video log, you look away as he gives you a pointed, playful side-eye. โShe calls her Sevin โeve. Any guesses as to what that means?โ He snarks to the camera, a faux look of irritation plastered on his face. โPretty girl.โย
โThe fuckinโ cherry on top. She treats her like fuckinโ glass.โ Jake sighs, throwing his head back in exasperation, and throwing his thumb in your direction. โI mean, I would too, but maybe I want the princess treatment every once in a while.โ
You give him a nasty look, and he chokes back a smile. โWhat? Itโs true!โ
โItโs girlhood. Youโre a guy. You wouldnโt get it.โ You huff, leaning back in your seat as you aimlessly doodle on a notepad. It helps you stay concentrated when doing the video logs. Doesnโt help much when Jake gets off-topic. What can you say? Youโre a cold-blooded yapper.ย
โItโsโฆwhatโs it called when women are sexist against men?โ
โDonโt even go there.โ
โMisandry.โ Norm supplies from the back, and all three women in the trailer lab snap their heads to give him the nastiest looks. He gives an awkward wince, shrugging. โHe asked! Iโm sorry.โ
โHe asked.โ Trudy mocks in a high-pitched imitation of Norm, flicking the back of his head.
Jake stifles a laugh, and you turn back with a sharp look. โNormโs taking the heat for you, and youโre laughing?โ
โIโm sorry, baby, alright? Just making a joke. It was stupid. You know Iโm stupid. You and Neytiri have something I never will.โ He grins and says "baby" without so much as a blink, and goddamn, does it reset your brain. You feel your face heat up, and you blink, avoiding looking at Jake or the camera. He knows heโs off the hook, well, with you at least. He shouldnโt be too sure about Grace or Trudy.
โYeah, whatever.โ You murmur, scribbling harder on the notepad as a way to distract yourself. He grins at you before reaching to shut the camera off.ย
Youโre woken up one morning by Grace, โCโmon, kid. We gotta run back to the base to grab a few more supplies.โย
You feel your brows knit together in irritation; itโs still dark outside the trailer. Has this woman lost her goddamn mind? You wish you could bitch and tell her to take Norm, but you know that would go over like a lead balloon. Soโฆyou just roll out from your bed, clothes wrinkled and mussed with sleep. โGonna have to grab Jakeโs exopack-โ
โHeโs not coming, just get yours.โ
You give her a sharp look, almost a glare, underneath the grumpy pout. โWhat, why? Thatโs not fair, heโs gonna go hang out with Ney-โ
โShut up.โ Grace huffs impatiently, throwing clean clothes towards you. โHe and Norm will stay at the site and practice the Naโvi language. Eywa knows he needs the help. You donโt know much better than Jake, and I need someone with me who knows what tools to grab. I donโt need someone to get me a beaker when I ask for an Erlenmeyer flask. So, youโre the only choice since Normโs staying here.โ Sheโs following Trudy out the door before you can give much of an argument. You feel your eye twitch before throwing on the clothes Grace gave you. You know sheโs right, damn, she makes you so fucking angry sometimes.
The flight was quick, still foggy, but not nearly as bad as it was when you first arrived. The base is as sweltering as ever. The pavement and blacktop are doing fuckall to redistribute the heat from the sun. Trudy stays behind with the craft to do some repairs. And Grace spends maybe a whole year talking with Max Patel and a few other scientists whose names your brain is too tired to recall. But her bag is packed full of supplies, and you have been eyeing the canteen door since you walked in. Since sheโs got everything she needs, you take the executive decision to get yourself some food.ย
With a plate full of grub, you happily make your way to an empty table and just stuff your face. Youโre surrounded by hired guns who are eating even more disastrously than you are. You do not care whatsoever. Except someone does sit across from you, you glance up with wide eyes and cheeks full.ย
There sits an amused Colonel Miles Quaritch. You almost choke on the mouthful of food. You regret eating like you were starved. Fuck. He snorts, an amused smile on his face as he waves you off. โYouโre fine, finish your food.โ
When you finish, he does not wait for you to speak. โSo, Augustine brings you here instead of Jake. He needs to report back to me. I hope Augustine realizes that.โ
โOh, uh, probably, but I think today was supposed to be a short trip.โ You murmur, fixing the sleeve of your shirt. โI can let her know you asked about it today?โ
โThatโd be peachy, honey. But I, uh, got another question for ya.โ
โSure,โ You smile politely, waiting for him to continue.
โSee, Iโve just recently lost a member of my ground exploration team. And well, I was wondering if youโd want to sign up for the position since youโve got a good lay of the land here, sorta like a tour guide. It wouldnโt be an armed positionโฆand it would extend your stay on Pandora heavily. I know Jakeโs rotating after he finishes here to get his legs back, but I wasnโt sure what your plans were.โ He gives you a look like he already knows the answer. โWhaddya say, honey?โ
You blank. You hadnโt given โafterโ much thought. But a chance to stay here, indefinitely for the time beingโฆ It's very tempting. And Jake doesnโt owe you a thing after his contract is up; youโre even excited at the thought of him getting the ability to walk back. Heโs plenty capable now, but when heโs piloting the Avatar, youโve truly never seen him happier. He deserves to get that independence back, and who knows if youโll even keep in touch after. God, you hope so, but thereโs never any guarantees.ย
โIโฆhow long?โ
โAs long as you can do it. Six years for sure,โ Quaritch answers smoothly, leaning forward with his hands bunched together. โI get it might be a tough decision, but I can really only ask ya this once.โ
You donโt want to lose the opportunity to stay here. To be with and study actual, real wild animals again, not just genetically modified creatures stuck in cement zoos. Maybe youโll see Jake again, you surmise. You donโt even come from the same city on Earth, would either of you be willing to uproot your entire lives to live near each other? The thought almost makes you smile; you've both already uprooted your lives to go to space. How difficult would a little over a thousand miles be? Maybe when you finish here, youโll move to Jakeโs city, be set for life for the money youโve made here. Itโs a pretty solid idea.ย
โAlright. Iโll do it.โ
โWonderful, I knew yaโd take the deal. Needed someone capable on the team, too. If you wanna follow me real quick, we can get the paperwork signed, and youโll be set to start working whenever needed.โ
Walking back to the lab after your meeting with Quaritch is a little surreal. You know everyone here is just on a job, but you canโt help but feel a little like you just sold your soul away. Youโre probably overthinking it.ย
Grace doesnโt even question your absence, just grabs her bags with an easy grin. โLet's go, kid.โ
The tarmac is busier than when you first landed this morning; it makes sense. More activity happens later in the morning. You and Trudy are helping Grace pack the helicopter before Lyle Wainfleet approaches Trudy with a grin. She chats with him for a hot second before he glances at you. His grin gets even bigger. โHey, JW! Heard youโd be joining our team after youโre finished here. Glad to hear it.โ
Grace gives you a questioning look, and you wince, ignoring it for now. You give him a polite, very awkward smile, โUh, yeah, thanksโฆsorry, um, JW is not my name, itโs actually-.โ
โJakeโs Woman,โ Lyle interrupts you with a tight-lipped smile. โMy bad, a few of the boys could not remember your name, but youโre always with Jake. It just stuck.โ He quickly makes his retreat, practically skedaddling away. Grace canโt hold back the snort. You have got to be fucking kidding me, you think to yourself, stewing in embarrassment.ย
โDo not tell Jake.โ You manage to mutter out, face shamefully hot.
โNo way in hell Iโm not. Kidโs gonna be over the moon.โ Grace grins easily, jumping into the cockpit. โGet in, JW.โ
โThis is demeaning, Grace.โ
Jakeโs avatar is getting faster every day. You suppose yours is too, since she can keep up with him and Neytiri. The callouses that have grown make your feet stronger, too, and more resilient to rough surfaces. Jake talks about running in almost every one of his video logs.ย
Currently, Neytiri is sprinting up a tree, and Jakeโs not far behind her. You get a little jealous of their athleticism. Neytiri just launching off the tree branch and catching herself with one hand makes it a little worse. Jake follows with ease, landing a little harder. You know you canโt hesitate, or you will fucking fall. So, throwing all caution to the wind, you land with a stumble behind Jake, a hysterical giggle falling from your lips. He grins, pulling you after him. โCโmon, pretty girl, Iโm dying to give Pale a ride.โ
โEvery day it's reading the trails, the tracks at the waterhole, the tiniest scents and sounds.โ
Neytiri actually intimidates the fuck out of you. Sheโs the apex predator in the forest. Jesus, you do not want to be on the other end of her skills. Sheโs terrifyingly good at finding even the smallest details that indicate prey when she takes you and Jake hunting. Tracking down a viperwolf, nantang, and her pups. You tilt your head forward, almost cooing at the cubs. Jake glances at you, studying your face. Youโre in your element here, just observing the natural processes of life. You should always look so peaceful.ย
Neytiriโs head bumps yours as she leans closer, โthree, pxey.โ You hum with a nod, squinting.ย
โYeah, arenโt typical litters around 4-6?โ You turn your head to look at her, but sheโs already facing you. She nods, her eyes flickering across the bioluminescent dots on your cheeks. โYes. Must be ngรคzรฌk, hard, year.โย
Jake pats your thigh when the viperwolf turns its head in your direction when it hears you and Neytiri talk. โTime to go, girls.โ
โNeytiriโs always going on about the flow of energy, the spirits of animalsโฆโ Jake sighs into the view of the camera, glancing at you. You had been sketching the viperwold and her cubs from earlier, but had fallen asleep on your notebook. He sighs again, brushing a stray piece of hair from your face. โI really hope this tree-hugger crap isn't on the final.โ
Grace, who had once again been in the background looking at samples, looks up from her microscope at Jakeโs bitching. โThis isn't just about eye-hand coordination out there, you know. You need to listen to what she says. Try to see the forest through her eyes.โ
Jake smiles, thumbing towards the camera, โExcuse me. This is my video log here.โ Jake glances back towards the camera, and then you. He reaches for the camera, and suddenly the screen turns black.ย
He nudges you gently, waking you from your impromptu nap. โCโmon, pretty girl. Go to bed.โ You groan, red sleep patterns printed on your face. You glance at your top bunk, suddenly regretting every decision that ever led to you picking that fucking thing to sleep in every night. Jake snorts, seeing the disgruntled look on your face. He smiles that stupid, pretty smile and offers up the silver platter of the evening. โYou can lay down with me, if you want, sleepy.โ
You, still half asleep, immediately take him up on it. Crawling to the far inside of his bottom bunk. Making yourself comfortable as if you were in your own bed. You donโt even wake up when he scoots himself in, too.ย
You wake up in the morning, Jakeโs arm is over your waist, but thereโs basically a whole ass ravine between you two with the space he left. Small slivers of the sun poke through the curtains, giving Jake angelic backlighting. You almost regret signing up for extra time on Pandora, letting Jake go back to Earth by himself. Neytiri suddenly pops up in your brain, butโฆeven if you left with Jake, sheโs supposed to be mated with Tsuโtey when they are ready. And you arenโt sure she even considers you a friendโฆyou at least hope Jake does.
The sudden sound of Grace clearing her throat makes your head snap towards her. She smiles smugly, mouthing โJW.โ The mental calculation of days that Grace hasnโt pissed you off ticks back down to zero. You flip back over, looking towards the wall. Jakeโs breath puffs against your neck, and you realize that youโre gonna have to stop worrying about whatโs going to happen after. Enjoy it now, while it lasts at least.ย
Jakeโs first few attempts at recording logs areโฆ awkward to say the least. Heโs stiff and very obviously making it clear he does not want to be doing them. He sighs as he sits next to you, waiting for you to finish your very long and complicated rendition of the events from the day. When you finish, he rolls into your previous spot while Grace looks through her samples in the back of the video.
โOkay. This is video log 12. Times 21:32.โ He sighs with the most pitiful puppy dog eyes before turning around to Grace. โDo I have to do this now? I really need to get some rack.โ
โNo. Now.โ Grace deadpans, barely looking up from her microscope. โWhen itโs fresh.โ He sighs again, looking anywhere but the camera. His gaze lands on you, and he smiles, nodding towards the camera. โHelp me, pretty girl. Ours wonโt be any different anyway.โ You feel your own sigh build in your chest. Heโs not wrong, but you go into fairly long tangents about the fauna on Pandora.ย
โI really think weโre supposed to do it separately.โย
โSince when do I care? At least sit with me, help me if I forget anything.โ He smirks, he knows heโs milking this โhelpless with anything biology relatedโ and it keeps fucking working with you. You're a sucker for a sad face, really. Itโs pathetic.ย
So of course, you scoot your chair into the view of the screen and help Jake recount the day's events.ย
โOkay, location, shack, and the days are starting to blur together.โ Once he starts treating it like a spoken diary, he gets better, but the poor dude cannot, for the life of him, start a log normally.ย

You take to the language significantly better than Jake, which is to be expected considering you have the background knowledge of the fauna and their scientific and common names. He enunciates too much, and you can tell itโs getting onto Neytiriโs nerves.ย
She starts by teaching you both anatomy words. Sheโs quizzing Jake, pointing to her big, pretty, and golden eyes, and she waits for Jake to tell her the correct name.ย
โNavi.โ Jake attempts, and Neytiri loses just the tiniest bit more of her patience. She leans forward, her ears pinning backwards. โNari.โ
โNari.โ Jake chops out, and she leans forward, stressing the rolled r with a grimace of annoyance. โNarrrri.โ
โNarrri,โ Jake repeats impatiently, and she huffs, smacking him with a dull thud. โEnough. Sevin โeve, you go. Here.โ You donโt even have time to correct her before sheโs pointing towards her neck, and you murmur the answer petulantly, โpewnโ.ย

You canโt be away from him more than a minute before heโs searching for you, a worried glint in his eye. You wish it didnโt give you butterflies every time you saw it.ย
Neytiri is no better for your poor, lonely heart. Sheโs significantly nicer to you than she is to Jake. However, sheโs no less touchy with either one of you. Sheโs a very hands-on tutor. You thought you might actually faint as she was teaching you how to use a bow. Sheโs pressed herself against your back, her breath puffing against the back of your neck as she adjusts your hold and aim. โYou areโฆtsk.โ She huffs, leaving your back to push against the front of your abdomen. โTxur ni'ul. Stronger here.โ She corrects your aim with quick precision, nodding for you to loosen the arrow. You watch as she does the same for Jake. Straight smacking him around to correct him. You have to turn away before either of them can catch you with an amused smile on your face. Jakeโs exactly where he wants to be; the poor guy doesnโt even flinch as Neytiri gives him hell.
โNeytiri calls me skxawng. It means moron.โ Jake murmurs into the video log, you look away as he gives you a pointed, playful side-eye. โShe calls her Sevin โeve. Any guesses as to what that means?โ He snarks to the camera, a faux look of irritation plastered on his face. โPretty girl.โย
โThe fuckinโ cherry on top. She treats her like fuckinโ glass.โ Jake sighs, throwing his head back in exasperation, and throwing his thumb in your direction. โI mean, I would too, but maybe I want the princess treatment every once in a while.โ

โHe asked.โ Trudy mocks in a high-pitched imitation of Norm, flicking the back of his head.
Jake stifles a laugh, and you turn back with a sharp look. โNormโs taking the heat for you, and youโre laughing?โ
โIโm sorry, baby, alright? Just making a joke. It was stupid. You know Iโm stupid.

โShut up.โ Grace huffs impatiently, throwing clean clothes towards you. โHe and Norm will stay at the site and practice the Naโvi language. Eywa knows he needs the help. You donโt know much better than Jake, and I need someone with me who knows what tools to grab. I donโt need someone to get me a beaker when I ask for an Erlenmeyer flask. So, youโre the only choice since Normโs staying here.โ Sheโs following Trudy out the door before you can give much of an argument. You feel your eye twitch before throwing on the clothes Grace gave you. You know sheโs right, damn, she makes you so fucking angry sometimes.
The flight was quick, still foggy, but not nearly as bad as it was when you first arrived. The base is as sweltering as ever. The pavement and blacktop are doing fuckall to redistribute the heat from the sun. Trudy stays behind with the craft to do some repairs. And Grace spends maybe a whole year talking with Max Patel and a few other scientists whose names your brain is too tired to recall. But her bag is packed full of supplies, and you have been eyeing the canteen door since you walked in. Since sheโs got everything she needs, you take the executive decision to get yourself some food.ย
With a plate full of grub, you happily make your way to an empty table and just stuff your face. Youโre surrounded by hired guns who are eating even more disastrously than you are. You do not care whatsoever. Except someone does sit across from you, you glance up with wide eyes and cheeks full.ย
There sits an amused Colonel Miles Quaritch. You almost choke on the mouthful of food. You regret eating like you were starved. Fuck. He snorts, an amused smile on his face as he waves you off. โYouโre fine, finish your food.โ
When you finish, he does not wait for you to speak. โSo, Augustine brings you here instead of Jake. He needs to report back to me. I hope Augustine realizes that.โ
โOh, uh, probably, but I think today was supposed to be a short trip.โ You murmur, fixing the sleeve of your shirt. โI can let her know you asked about it today?โ
โThatโd be peachy, honey. But I, uh, got another question for ya.โ
โSure,โ You smile politely, waiting for him to continue.
โSee, Iโve just recently lost a member of my ground exploration team. And well, I was wondering if youโd want to sign up for the position since youโve got a good lay of the land here, sorta like a tour guide. It wouldnโt be an armed positionโฆand it would extend your stay on Pandora heavily. I know Jakeโs rotating after he finishes here to get his legs back, but I wasnโt sure what your plans were.โ He gives you a look like he already knows the answer. โWhaddya say, honey?โ
You blank. You hadnโt given โafterโ much thought. But a chance to stay here, indefinitely for the time beingโฆ It's very tempting. And Jake doesnโt owe you a thing after his contract is up; youโre even excited at the thought of him getting the ability to walk back. Heโs plenty capable now, but when heโs piloting the Avatar, youโve truly never seen him happier. He deserves to get that independence back, and who knows if youโll even keep in touch after. God, you hope so, but thereโs never any guarantees.ย
โIโฆhow long?โ
โAs long as you can do it. Six years for sure,โ Quaritch answers smoothly, leaning forward with his hands bunched together. โI get it might be a tough decision, but I can really only ask ya this once.โ
You donโt want to lose the opportunity to stay here. To be with and study actual, real wild animals again, not just genetically modified creatures stuck in cement zoos. Maybe youโll see Jake again, you surmise. You donโt even come from the same city on Earth, would either of you be willing to uproot your entire lives to live near each other? The thought almost makes you smile; you've both already uprooted your lives to go to space. How difficult would a little over a thousand miles be? Maybe when you finish here, youโll move to Jakeโs city, be set for life for the money youโve made here. Itโs a pretty solid idea.ย
โAlright. Iโll do it.โ
โWonderful, I knew yaโd take the deal. Needed someone capable on the team, too. If you wanna follow me real quick, we can get the paperwork signed, and youโll be set to start working whenever needed.โ
Walking back to the lab after your meeting with Quaritch is a little surreal. You know everyone here is just on a job, but you canโt help but feel a little like you just sold your soul away. Youโre probably overthinking it.ย
Grace doesnโt even question your absence, just grabs her bags with an easy grin. โLet's go, kid.โ
The tarmac is busier than when you first landed this morning; it makes sense. More activity happens later in the morning. You and Trudy are helping Grace pack the helicopter before Lyle Wainfleet approaches Trudy with a grin. She chats with him for a hot second before he glances at you. His grin gets even bigger. โHey, JW! Heard youโd be joining our team after youโre finished here. Glad to hear it.โ
Grace gives you a questioning look, and you wince, ignoring it for now. You give him a polite, very awkward smile, โUh, yeah, thanksโฆsorry, um, JW is not my name, itโs actually-.โ
โJakeโs Woman,โ Lyle interrupts you with a tight-lipped smile. โMy bad, a few of the boys could not remember your name, but youโre always with Jake. It just stuck.โ He quickly makes his retreat, practically skedaddling away. Grace canโt hold back the snort. You have got to be fucking kidding me, you think to yourself, stewing in embarrassment.ย
โDo not tell Jake.โ You manage to mutter out, face shamefully hot.
โNo way in hell Iโm not. Kidโs gonna be over the moon.โ Grace grins easily, jumping into the cockpit. โGet in, JW.โ
โThis is demeaning, Grace.โ
Jakeโs avatar is getting faster every day. You suppose yours is too, since she can keep up with him and Neytiri. The callouses that have grown make your feet stronger, too, and more resilient to rough surfaces. Jake talks about running in almost every one of his video logs.ย
Currently, Neytiri is sprinting up a tree, and Jakeโs not far behind her. You get a little jealous of their athleticism. Neytiri just launching off the tree branch and catching herself with one hand makes it a little worse. Jake follows with ease, landing a little harder. You know you canโt hesitate, or you will fucking fall. So, throwing all caution to the wind, you land with a stumble behind Jake, a hysterical giggle falling from your lips. He grins, pulling you after him. โCโmon, pretty girl, Iโm dying to give Pale a ride.โ
โEvery day it's reading the trails, the tracks at the waterhole, the tiniest scents and sounds.โ
Neytiri actually intimidates the fuck out of you. Sheโs the apex predator in the forest. Jesus, you do not want to be on the other end of her skills. Sheโs terrifyingly good at finding even the smallest details that indicate prey when she takes you and Jake hunting. Tracking down a viperwolf, nantang, and her pups. You tilt your head forward, almost cooing at the cubs. Jake glances at you, studying your face. Youโre in your element here, just observing the natural processes of life. You should always look so peaceful.ย
Neytiriโs head bumps yours as she leans closer, โthree, pxey.โ You hum with a nod, squinting.ย
โYeah, arenโt typical litters around 4-6?โ You turn your head to look at her, but sheโs already facing you. She nods, her eyes flickering across the bioluminescent dots on your cheeks. โYes. Must be ngรคzรฌk, hard, year.โย
Jake pats your thigh when the viperwolf turns its head in your direction when it hears you and Neytiri talk. โTime to go, girls.โ
โNeytiriโs always going on about the flow of energy, the spirits of animalsโฆโ Jake sighs into the view of the camera, glancing at you. You had been sketching the viperwold and her cubs from earlier, but had fallen asleep on your notebook. He sighs again, brushing a stray piece of hair from your face. โI really hope this tree-hugger crap isn't on the final.โ
Grace, who had once again been in the background looking at samples, looks up from her microscope at Jakeโs bitching. โThis isn't just about eye-hand coordination out there, you know. You need to listen to what she says. Try to see the forest through her eyes.โ
Jake smiles, thumbing towards the camera, โExcuse me. This is my video log here.โ Jake glances back towards the camera, and then you. He reaches for the camera, and suddenly the screen turns black.ย
He nudges you gently, waking you from your impromptu nap. โCโmon, pretty girl. Go to bed.โ You groan, red sleep patterns printed on your face. You glance at your top bunk, suddenly regretting every decision that ever led to you picking that fucking thing to sleep in every night. Jake snorts, seeing the disgruntled look on your face. He smiles that stupid, pretty smile and offers up the silver platter of the evening. โYou can lay down with me, if you want, sleepy.โ
You, still half asleep, immediately take him up on it. Crawling to the far inside of his bottom bunk. Making yourself comfortable as if you were in your own bed. You donโt even wake up when he scoots himself in, too.ย
You wake up in the morning, Jakeโs arm is over your waist, but thereโs basically a whole ass ravine between you two with the space he left. Small slivers of the sun poke through the curtains, giving Jake angelic backlighting. You almost regret signing up for extra time on Pandora, letting Jake go back to Earth by himself. Neytiri suddenly pops up in your brain, butโฆeven if you left with Jake, sheโs supposed to be mated with Tsuโtey when they are ready. And you arenโt sure she even considers you a friendโฆyou at least hope Jake does.
The sudden sound of Grace clearing her throat makes your head snap towards her. She smiles smugly, mouthing โJW.โ The mental calculation of days that Grace hasnโt pissed you off ticks back down to zero. You flip back over, looking towards the wall. Jakeโs breath puffs against your neck, and you realize that youโre gonna have to stop worrying about whatโs going to happen after. Enjoy it now, while it lasts at least.ย
To all artists across all social media platforms, be aware of this jerk! He has stolen many people's art, and now is trying to claim it as his! I have reported all the accounts and he thinks his actions won't have consequences! Help take this douche canoe down! He is a thief!
I just went through a breakup this morning and this is what I went listen to first after he broke my heart. I felt a piece of me not only break, but unalive as well.
I would love any fics about the men of avatar to be sent my way to help take my mind off of the hurt I am feeling.

Morning in Awaโatlu begins softly. Sunlight spilling over the island as the chatter of waking Metkayina spread throughout the village, some getting ready for the day as others already begin their daily routines that align with their clan roles.
Inside your familyโs marui, however, the calm of the morning is already over, due to having a infant in your home. Your daughter, Pril, squirms in your arms with determination, little feet kicking against your hip, trying her best to communicate to you what she wants. โMaโฆmaโฆmaโฆโ
โYes, yes,โ you murmur with a small laugh, gently swatting away her hands as she attempts to pull at your feathered top, not wanting her to pop the strings or pull any of the decorations like she did on your top from a few days ago. โYou are hungry again. I know.โ
Pril has been nursing almost constantly lately, always hungry and begging for the golden liquid that flows from your swollen breasts. She is growing fast for a child her age. It is clear that Pril is a strong baby, something youโve known since you began carried her in your womb. What you didnโt know while you were pregnant is that she would grow to have the appetite of a tsurak [skimwing].ย
When youโre about to cradle her so she can be fed for the second time this morning, your stomach rumbles in quiet protest, reminding you that you havenโt eaten yet yourself. Having a baby, along with your other many responsibilities, the main one being Tsahรฌk, it is easy to forget these things, but thankfully your body is willing to keep you in check.
โTonowari,โ you call gently, glancing toward your mate, needing to gain his attention.
The Oloโeyktan looks up from where heโs seated, repairing his spear shaft that got damaged during a sparring session with some of the hunters, his way of keeping his combat skills sharp. โYes, psakalin [honey]?โ Tonowari replies while putting down his spear, eyes softening immediately when he sees Pril wiggling in your grasp.ย
You carefully walk over and place your daughter into his large waiting hands, needing your hands free for a few moments. โHold her while I prepare something to eat,โ you say, feeling your stomach growl again, begging for any source of nutrients. โIf I do not keep my strength, she will soon complain that there is none left for her.โย
When breastfeeding, mothers must eat plenty of food so they can maintain energy and milk supply. Therefore, you must eat so she can continue to happily suckle milk from your breasts until her little tummy is full and satisfied, so she can grow big and strong like her older siblings.
Tonowari nods immediately, taking Pril with ease and adjusting her position, wanting her to be comfortable as he holds her against his chest so she can feel his warmth.ย
Your daughter blinks up at him with wide, curious eyes, looking at her father as if heโs her whole world which makes Tonowari smile. Soon, Pril attention shifts. Her tiny hand reaches up, trying to grab her fatherโs akula teeth necklace. Her hands are far too small to grab it fully, but her little nails do dig into Tonowariโs skin as she tries her best to grasp it, making him lightly wince.
โYou have a strong grip,โ he murmurs with quiet pride, furthering his notion that once Pril is older sheโll be a great warrior just like her mother. Pril gurgles happily, moving her little fists in the air, as if sheโs agreeing with her fatherโs statement.ย
While they are having some father daughter time, you move with ease around the small cooking space, slicing fruit and pulling warm fish from the cooking pot, already feeling your mouth water from the delicious aroma. You toss a cubed piece of fruit into your mouth, already starting to eat as you wait for the fish to cool off just a tad.
Behind you, Tonowari continues his quiet conversation with your youngest daughter, keeping her entertained as you tend to your hunger. โYour mother says you are always hungry,โ he tells her, thinking about how just last night you were telling him that she inherited his large appetite. โI suspect she exaggerates.โ He says jokingly, knowing that you are telling the truth about her eating habits. He has witnessed her hunger first hand and he can agree that her little stomach is somehow never satisfied.
Pril squirms closer against him, pressing her nose into the firm muscle of his chest, making your husband assume she wants to be cuddle so he begins to gently bounce her, thinking itโll help her settle down. โMaybe you will grow into a great weaver,โ he muses, stroking her hair, wondering what position she will feel led to once she grows old enough to make the decision. โOr a strong diver like your tsmukan [brother].โย
Your daughterโs ears twitch, as if her attention has been drawn elsewhere. Prilโs little tummy begins to growl, showing that her hunger has grown stronger since you handed her off to Tonowari.
Your daughterโs ears twitch suddenly, small and reactive, as if something deep within her has shifted. Prilโs tiny nose presses more firmly against Tonowariโs chest, her face nuzzling instinctively into his warm skin. The steady rhythm of his heartbeat echoes beneath her cheek, the one thing that usually calms her little spirit when sheโs riled up. But today it isn't working.ย
Prilโs stomach gives a small, impatient growl, making her brow lines furrow. Her hunger has become sharper than earlier. It is no longer a gentle feeling but an urgent pull that will no longer go unsatisfied.ย
Her mouth opens slightly, her tongue pressing forward as instinct takes over. Your daughterโs small hands press clumsily against Tonowariโs chest as she shifts, searching for the source of the nutrient rich fluid she gets from you. Her lips brush his skin, crawling toward what she assumes to be your breast, and she latches.
When Tonowari feels his daughter attach to him, he stills instantly, breath catching as he looks down at her in confusion. He does not move at first, clearly trying to understand what she is doing. A quiet frown forms . His hand hovers awkwardly near her back, unsure whether to adjust her or leave her be. โโฆWhat are youโโ He doesnโt finish his sentence because Pril pulls back slightly, making Tonowari not feel the need to continue.ย
Prilโs tail begins to lash and her small face scrunches in growing frustration since she wasn't able to find any milk. She doesnโt understand because when sheโs with you this always works. She nudges forward again, more insistent this time, pressing harder against her father, latching onto him for a second time.ย
She tries again, but she still comes up short, making her tiny fingers tighten against his skin, showing how sheโs growing impatient. Pril thinks if she works harder milk will come, so while sheโs still latched to her father, she bites down. And itโs not a soft bite either.ย
When it happens, Tonowari jerks sharply, his confusion of his daughter actions turns into pure shock as pain spikes through his chest, making a strangled sound tear from his throat. โAUGH!โ
He nearly loses his hold on her, but his arm tightens at the last second purely on instinct, thankfully keeping Pril from falling to the ground. His free hand flies to his chest, eyes wide in disbelief as he looks down at the small culprit latched onto him with strong determination, clearly not willing to let up until she finds what sheโs looking for.ย โDaughter, release!โ he chokes, trying to gently pull her away without hurting her, but the attempt only seems to encourage her stubborn grip. Tonowari did say that Pril has a strong grip, now sheโs showing it.
The commotion echoes through your kelku [home], making you nearly drop the plate full of food in your hands at the sudden shout from your husband. You quickly place it down and swallow the food you were chewing before running over, wondering what has transpired that calls for this loud of a reaction. โTonowari, what has happened?!โย
โShe has bitten me!โ
You blink, not understanding him at first. โโฆWhat?โ Pril has never been a aggressive baby, so you donโt know why she would bite her father.
โOur child just bit me!โ he repeats, gesturing to his chest, bringing your attention to his clearly reddened and abrasive nipple that he was finally able to get his daughter to detached from.
When you look at your husbandโs wounded area, and then you look down at your daughter and how agitated sheโs becoming, that is when you connect the dots. Your daughter had apparently mistaken Tonowariโs warm skin and muscular pecs for your own breasts, thinking if she latched on she would be able to find a source of nourishment, but cleary she was wrong.ย
For a moment you try very hard not to laugh, but the sight of Tonowari, a great warrior and fearless leader, currently defeated by your daughter who is only the size of his hand, is simply too adorable. The laughter escapes before you can try to stop it, which makes Tonowari frown immediately, not finding this situation funny. โYou find this amusing.โ He grumbles, rubbing his chest, trying to stop the pain.
โI am sorry,โ you say between laughs, crouching down next to your husband. You place a supportive hand on his shoulder, calming down your laughter before giving him a comforting look. โI truly am.โย
โShe attacked me without warning.โ He says, his forehead lines creasing, similarly to when heโs disciplining your oldest child, Aoโnung.ย
โWhen you hold her like that,โ you point out, gesturing to his broad chest and how heโs cradling her close to his skin. โWhat did you expect?โ
Tonowari opens his mouth to argue, but he just closes it again, thinking you could possibly have a point. This never happened with your other two children. He held Tsireya and Aoโnung in the same manner when they were Prilโs age and they never tried to bite him, so he doesnโt know what got into his daughter for her to act this way.
You move a few steps over to your medicine basket, a thin smile spreading across your lips as you reach for a small jar of healing salve. โWell,โ you say lightly, applying the cool mixture to Tonowariโs skin, seeing the small indentations Pril caused to his nipple when she latched firmly onto him. โI suppose I cannot blame her.โ
Tonowari eyes you suspiciously, wondering what you mean because it is clear your daughter is at fault. โWhy not?โ
You tilt your head, examining his body in a loving manner instead of how you would do a usual injured patient, not being able to help it when your handsome husband has his chest puffed out in front you, looking very attractive when heโs being all domestic and fatherly with your youngest daughter.ย
โYou do have a veryโฆ impressive chest.โ When you say that, your mateโs ears flicker at the compliment, making him wonder where you are going with this. โBroad shoulders,โ you continue casually, flickering your eyes at him before looking back down at the affected area. โStrong muscles.โ
Tonowari huffs under his breath, enjoying your praises at his physique, but not being able to properly receive the compliments when heโs in pain. โFlattery will not undo the injury.โ
โI am not flattering you,โ you say sweetly, continuing to rub the herbs on his wound, wanting to help wipe that grumpy expression off his face and make his smile. โI am explaining our childโs confusion.โ
He gives you a long look, his eyes squinting just a tad, before his lips turn into a thin line, as if heโs trying not to smile or show any sort of amusement, but he cant help it when you look at him the way you are. โYou are enjoying this far too much.โ
โMaybe a little.โ You admit, not being able to deny how funny yet cute this situation truly is. Once the salve is applied thoroughly, you lean back, placing the lid back on the jar. โThere,โ you say, putting the salve back into its original place. โIt will stop stinging soon.โ
Tonowari rolls his shoulders experimentally, testing to see if the herbs have begun working yet. โโฆIt is feeling better.โ He says softly, thanking Eywa that soon his pectoral muscle will no longer be in pain because he has many duties ahead of him today.ย
Heโs always had empathy for women, he knows their bodies go through a lot when it comes to bearing children, but feeling this pain and knowing this is something you and other women in the clan go through each time they have a child, Tonowari has gained even more respect for naโvi women.ย
โI am glad.โ You reply before gently lifting your daughter from his arms before she attempts another attack on Tonowari, not wanting her to try to bite at her fatherโs good side.
Her tiny face scrunches immediately in protest, not enjoying that sheโs being ripped away from her fatherโs warm embrace. And sheโs still upset at the fact she hasnโt been given any food yet.ย
โMawey [calm], little one.โ you murmur, settling down comfortably next to your husband. You adjust your top, moving the decorative feathers out of her way before bringing her in close, angling her in the perfect position to breastfeed. โI will feed you properly so you do not have to bite sempu [daddy] again.โ
When baby Pril smells the colostrum in your milk, her nose guides her to your breast. Once she finds your nipple, she latches immediately, happy to finally be feed after not having any success with her father. As her tummy fills with milk, content little noises fill the room and her tail happily sways as her little appetite finally gets what it has been dying for.ย
Tonowari leans in towards you, wrapping his arm around your waist, watching the two of you with quiet amusement now that the shock of the incident has passed, though heโs still surprised about what happened. โFor someone so small, she is very dangerous.โ
You smirk up at him, knowing exactly where she gets that trait from. โShe takes after her father.โ
Tonowari snorts, not accepting that comparison, in his mind, he has done nothing along the lines of danger. โI have never bitten anyone.โ
โAre you sure?โ you tease, remembering an event that would say otherwise. โYou were quite fierce when we first met.โ You give him a โlookโ, one that helps jog his memory to the early years of your relationship, when you both were just two teenagers in love.
His eyes warm at the thought, remembering the times where he chased you around the island until you gave him a chance and when you did, his fierceness only became refocusedโฆ mostly in how he expressed his affections. โPerhapsโฆ you are correct.โย
Tonowari reaches over you, brushing a gentle finger along your daughterโs tiny tail as she drinks from your breast, acting as if she hasnโt eaten all morning, making him shake his head with a quiet laugh. โI battle many things,โ he says, thinking of the storms, disputes, and the endless responsibilities of leading the clan, challenges he always faces head-on. Yet his gaze softens as he looks down at the small life in your arms. โYet my daughter defeats me before breakfast.โ
You grin, knowing how much enjoys being a father, and how he would not want his life to be any differently. โThat is fatherhood, Oloโeyktan.โ You say before leaning your head against his shoulder, feeling his hand rub the small of your back as the two of you watch your daughter drink contentedly.
For a while, neither of you says anything, allowing yourselves to just enjoy this moment of peace. You and Tonowari bask in the warmth of parenthood, listening to the ocean waves lap against your dwelling and your daughterโs soft nursing sounds filling your home.
Tonowari presses a gentle kiss to the top of your head, thankful that heโs able to call you the mother of his children, that Eywa blessed you and him to create three wonderful souls together that show the love and strength within your union.ย
Although Pril already shows signs of being a little troublemaker, you and your mate cannot wait to see the young woman she will grow into. Howeverโฆ for the time being, it might be wise to keep her away from her fatherโs chest whenever sheโs hungry so the little adorable baby you birthed, doesnโt turn into a little milk thirsty monster.
