some people will be like “I wonder why fanfic writers don’t share their works anymore😔” and then this is them when a writer is kind enough to share something they write — as a hobby, for their own enjoyment — with them for free.

some people really don’t realize how privileged they are that they get fanfics for free. imagine having access to something for free because someone is kind enough to share it with you… and then being rude, entitled and an ungrateful pos to that person who was kind enough to share their creation with you for free

“almost 1 year is a lil too much for me” fuck off. fanfic writers don’t owe you anything. one of my favorite fics was updated after 13 years, and what I did is that I thanked the author for choosing to continue the work, I didn’t act like a spoiled toddler by asking why they didn’t update sooner. and even if a writer chooses to abandon their fic permanently with no explanation, that is their choice, their hobby, their decision. they don’t owe your entitled ass anything.

you people let tiktok rot your brains to the point you see everything as content farm and engagement. not a piece of art created by the artist’s love and passion. it’s dystopian.

my toxic writing trait is imagining the scene in my head in long, full cinematic detail and then writing: “they fought. it was intense.”

And all of this at once.

✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿‧̥°̩̥˚✿

A week had passed with the training was brutal. Tsu'tey was trying to make up for lost time and that meant you were going through hell.

"Okay Ma'Y/N. Let us start with your evading."

"Evading? I did evade techniques with Neytiri and Jake I think?"

"Good." He nodded, but his ear flattened at the remembrance of how you sought a new teacher.

"Can't we just have an easy day?"

Tsu'tey raised an eyebrow, "This is easy."

"Easy for you.”

-

Tsu'tey broke the silence as he circled you, "How often did you play with the 'evengs? Eyayng was asking to play pa'li race."

Your heart broke a little, you had completely forgotten about the clan children while trying to avoid Tsu'tey,and now with actually being trained with him. You hadn't seen them in passing either. Of course you wouldn't play with them all the time but when they were lonely they would come to you, intrigued by the uniltìranyu.

"Uh yeah, I played with her often. Päkat doesn't like pa'li racing, so he'll often shoo her away when he's playing with Sraihäk." She was the first of the children to ask to play, shaking with fear in every ounce of her being - you could only imagine what she was told about humans.

You retold the memory of the shaking leaf of a child to Tsu'tey, dodging left as Tsu'tey lept towards you, "After that, more and more kids that were lonely, or needed help, went to find me, all because of Eyayng. She is a very kind hearted child." You put your hand up, signaling a break. Huffing and puffing for air, hunched over, you definitely needed a rest.

He smiled, indulging in your reminiscing. His mind drifted to the siblings, Eyayng and Päkat were sweet kids. It's not surprising they would be the first ones to try and talk to the dream-walker. His stomach churned at his past actions of excluding you from training. He closed the gaped, grabbing the paysmung(water carrier) and handing it to over. Snatching it, you drank as if you have crossed the dessert without of ounce of water, listening as your karyu spoke,"They are Näe's eveng. She is Ninat's sister."

It was surprising but at the same time not at all, Ninat was the only one willing to teach you weaving. She was very nice and lovely, it wasn't surprising her sister or her niece and nephew were just like her.

As you handed the paysmung back to him, he too drank. You watched as some of the water spilled from the corner of his mouth. The drops of water trickled down his throat to his chest, you turned your head.

-

You stood to the side of Tsu'tey, as the both of you waited for his students. You looked down, the grass beneath your feet. You tailed swished to the side as you body tensed at the thought of the other students. As if Tsu'tey was able to hear the thoughts running through your head, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, the scowl he always had in place once again, "Do not show fear. Stand strong, you are Na'vi now — be Na'vi."

You huffed but nodded nonetheless, standing taller but a racing heart. He smirked, noticing you had started to copy some mannerisms. His stomach tingled at the thought of that. He flinched, you swayed your tail right into his; he huffed but didn't comment.

Again. Again. "Stop Y/N. You will be fine."

"Sorry… I feel like I will vomit." You avoided his gaze, fiddling with your wrist band.

One more hit, and Tsu'tey wrapped his tail around yours, "Mawey. Mawey." He slowly moved closer to you, tails still loosely tangled. When his shoulder touched yours, you froze; his skin felt warm and tender.

A shaky breath was given while Tsu'tey gently nudged you, looking into his yellow eyes you nodded, "Thank you."

"You are welcome my demon."

Your stomach flipped at his words and as he shifted back to his past proximity, the heat from him was missed. Moments past as you saw the the three other students; laughing as one pushed another, and the other tripped.

"Gather."

They were quick to follow Tsu'tey's words. 'Deep breath in; deep breath out.'

-

"Demon!" Your ears shifted to the sound right on you. Nepxa -was her name if you remembered correctly - strolled up to you, holding a whittled yerik. Päkat would bring the supplies to whittle, eager that you had took him up on the offer to learn. It couldn't hurt learning another skill at least.

"My name is Y/N. Not demon. I will not answer to that again."

She scoffed, rolling her eyes, "Demon." You had your back turned to her, examining the roots of the tree, "Demon!" She shouted this time, letting out a growl she roughly yanked your shoulder.

You stumbled back, turning to face her from the force. You rolled your eyes again, "Y/N." You saw the yerik in her hand finally, remembering Sraihäk wanted one whittled. "Is that Sraihäk's yerik?"

"He told me he got it from the uniltìranyu," she sneered at the last word. This must be Sraihäk's sister.

"Yes, Päkat taught me to whittle since Sraihäk wanted to play hunt. When I got decent, Sraihäk requested a yerik."

"Why are you talking to the children? Trying to steal children for the other demons!"

You wouldn't put that accusation past the RDA, you could understand the fear. "No, Eyayng asked me to play with her, since then the other children ask me to play when they are bored. Intrigued by the dream-walker I suppose."

"They seek you out?" She could see how their interest was piqued by the uniltìranyu, especially since it was known you are a sky-person healer.

"Yes, the shaded tree I sit and watch from has been declared the uniltìranyu spot. More like daycare now I suppose."

"You take care of them?" She asked in disbelief, why would a sky-person care for the children of the clan. They didn't care before, so why now?

"I suppose yeah, I won't shoo them away, curiosity is good. And rather keep an eye on them then have them too deep in the forest when they're bored."

"They go deep in the forest?"

"Some of the slightly older kids do, trying to catch scent of animals. When I run into them I usually scare them so they run back."

Nepxa chuckled, "I'm sure with tales about the other demons." She looked down at the yerik, "Is Sraihäk behaving? He has trouble listening and sharing."

Another shrug, "He is young still, all kids have a problem with sharing." Nepxa's anger was gone, now feeling silly about the accusations she hurled at you. Sensing the feeling, you continued, "He is safe when he is with me, but I can send them back home if that makes you feel better."

"He says you speak funny words?"

"Not everything I say is in Na'vi, I talk to myself when doing whittling in English."

She nodded her head, the wooden yerik still in her clutch. She stared at it before making her gaze back on you. "Would you like to train before karyu Tsu'tey comes?"

You gave a soft smile at the offer of an olive branch, "Yes, that would be fun."

As the day grew slightly darker, slightly colder, slightly more serene is when Tsu'tey finished the practice for the day. You waved to Nepxa, promising to find her when the kids 'bother' yous so you do not have to deal with them alone. She was probably still hesitant; at least you thought that - but when Tsu'tey had the students do pa'li races and other game it was draining with all four of them - she didn't want you dealing with all that energy by yourself.

Tsu'tey watched the exchange, nodding to himself, proud that his uniltìranyu numeyu was finding her place. He walked up to you, gently touching your shoulder to alert of his presence. When you noticed it was Tsu'tey, your face flushed darker - this did not go unnoticed by Nepxa as when she gave one final wave goodbye.

-

On the third day after Nepxa's offer to help babysit, she was took up on it. After training had ceased for the day, with Tsu'tey calling back one of the other students about his archery. From your usual shaded spot behind the tree did Eyayng emerge from, holding her pa'li toy, afraid once again.

Nepxa nudged your shoulder, as you were preoccupied watching Tsu'tey. Whipping around, you saw Eyayng and offered her that small soft smile, "Yes ma'Eyayng?"

She looked over at Nepxa - use to seeing her grabbing her little brother and chucking him over her shoulder when he'd get in trouble - who was giving her a smile of her own. "Can we play pa'li race?"

You grinned, sore and achy and just wanting to rest, but nodded. "Come. Nepxa will play with us, she said she's the best around."

Eyayng huffed, "I'm the best, I beat my brother all the time!"

You shrugged as Nepxa laughed behind her hand at Eyayng fury, "Then come on, let's see if you can beat her."

Tsu'tey watched, as his student finally left after hearing the notes he had to offer. He watched as Eyayng tear up as Nepxa did beat her, as you put her on your back running around, as Eyayng squawked like an ikran since she was so high up now. He stayed, rooted in his spot entranced by you. And as Nepxa gave a hearty laugh as you tumbled down after Eyayng fidgeted so much she started to slip, she saw as Tsu'tey watched; not all of them, eyes focused on you, and only on you.

Nepxa quieted her laugh, watching the future clan leader start to smile as you helped the little girl up. It was no real secret the betrothed arrangement was for duty, not for love any more, but it was still an arrangement set by the Olo'eyktan and Tsahik. She turned, watching you as you threw Eyayng in the air, telling her to flap her wings to fly. Her focus on your hands; the extra finger.

She heard steps as you put the 'eveng down, not much energy left to spare after training. Nepxa already knew who it was, who else could it really be. She watched the smile creep on you face as Tsu'tey "criticized" your height in throwing. She watched as you challenged him to do better, which he did, throwing her higher. She watched as you chuckled at Eyayng sequel, unused to the type of height now.

Nepxa sucked in a breath as you smiled at the Eyktan and blushed when he gave his canine grin back.His lingering glance was noticed too, the way his eyes sought after you made Nepxa turn her head to look away.

She had to be wrong, right? Could she even ask Y/N and get the truth. Who else would know what is going on between them… besides another uniltìranyu…

-

Nepxa observed as you drew in a breath, observed as your chest rose then fell, observed as the arrow struck the pekavol(octofin fish). You gave thanks to Ewya, for the bountiful hall of fish for the training and the kids that promised to stop by. She blinked back to reality, missing what you had said, "What?"

You smiled at her absentminded response, not taking offense, "I asked are you hungry now?"

Two locs fell in front of her face, which she quickly pushed back behind her ear, "Oh, I suppose."

"Let use share one?"

She nodded, still in the realm in between the present and her mind. She unfocused her eyes as she stared at the fire being made by you. You skewered the fish, putting it to the fire to gently roast.

Nexpa sucked in a breath, 'Now or never I suppose.' She looked up at you, "Ma'Y/N?"

"Hm?" was all you replied as you kept an eye on the food.

"Have you anyone in mind to court?" She let her gaze wander behind you, to the village.

Of all the questions or comments ever to be said, that was not on your radar. Your blood turned cold, why was she asking this? You let a little breath out, calming the raging storm in your head, "No. Not many like me still."

"Oh," was all that could be blurted from her, for a split second she forgot you were human; a skyperon, a dreamwalker… not Na'vi. Her eyes sought out yours, but they were cast down watching the fire dance. "Well, is there anyone you are interested in?"

You gave a pitiful shrug, not wanting to answer. Yes Nepxa was your first real Na'vi friend you made by yourself, but to expose that you were infatuated with the future Olo'eyktan may be a bit much for the new friendship. "No," you desperately needed to change the subject, "what of you though? Anyone you want to court or be courted by?"

Nepxa blushed, ducking her head. She was so focused on what might be transpiring between you and the karyu she didn't expect you to question her. "Yes, but it will not be possible."

"Why not?"

"He is… unfriendly… to say the least."

"To you?"

"Hm, less than to others. He is surly."

"Oh. Hm." The only person that came to mind -besides Tsu'tey- was Ki'arin. Word of mouth was he was just rude in to everyone. Judging based on that embarrassment and lack of description, it was just a hunch right now, "Ki'arin?"Nepxa sucked in a breath as she whirled her head up to look at you. "Ah it is him." She waited to breathe, waited for your verdict. "I suppose if he is nicer to you he may reciprocate, a chance wouldn't be too far fetched to assume."

"He is… gentle with me. Always looking out out me since we were younger, and still does."

You smiled at the thought of little Nepxa,"How did you become friends?."

"Hmm. We have been friends since we were 3 and 4. Another child took me toy and Ki'arin got it back for me?"

"Childhood friends to lovers I see."

"I would not say childhood friends. I… lingered while he played with his friends."

"But you said he was always nicer to you then he was with others?"

"Yes, he is."

"Then I think he either sees you as a friend or someone to court. Why waste kindness to someone you do not like, especially since Ki'arin isn't said to be the nicest Na'vi."

Nepxa raised an eyebrow at the 'jab' about her friend not being nice but didn't not comment about it's truth, the thought of you and Eykutan seemingly gone from her mind. The trees shuffled, making both pair of eyes shot to the sound. Iwom emerged, huffing as he spot the two of you.

"I have been searching a long time! Why did you go all over the village to get fish!"

You laughed as he continued to puff out air when suddenly the same trees shuffled again. It was Etxu, raising an eyebrow at his fellow classmates. "What are you doing? Karyu Tsu'tey sent me to find you. You took too long to find them."

"Oh has training started?"

"Now yes. When he sent Iwom, there was plenty of time."

Iwom threw his arms up dramatically, "They went everywhere! It was hard to track overlapping scents."

"You did not think to start at the river banks ma'Iwom?" The question was left hanging in the air, as Iwom blushed. You took that as a no, he did not think to start fishing spots. Etxu sighed at his friends air-headed thinking.

-

Jake turned, the feeling of eyes have been following him since he connected. It wasn't Y/N, she was off with Tsu'tey doing archery again. Neytiri had been with him earlier, only leaving to talk to the Tsahik. He couldn't help but look around but it seemed there was no one there. Crrrk. A tree branched snapped, his eyes shot up to the tree. Up there was a Na'vi, analyzing him; his every move, every breath, every fiber of his being. She looked familiar; her hair in thin locs and tied up, her green shawl with an intricate pattern woven through the thicker grass, and her pxawpxun was oddly shaped. There was three cuffs, all small in size connected thought one line. Her attire was ever so different from the other Na'vi's. There was mark on her cheek.

She jumped down, slowly rising as she examined Jake. "Um can I help you?"

Nepxa circled him, before deciding what to say, "You are friend of Y/N yes?"

He nodded, slow and unsure, "Yeah… Why?"

She paused - she was worried about you and Tsu'tey but after watching Jake with Neytiri this could be for the best. But she had to know how far this infatuation went, and if it was something more then she will have support Y/N in what ever she decided. She leaned a bit closer, "Y/N and Tsu'tey… does she… are they courting?"

Jake's heart froze, he genuinely thought he died in that moment. "What?" Maybe he heard wrong, she was whispering and the forest was as loud as ever, yes that is it. He heard her wrong, obviously.

She glanced around, nervous for the words to be heard by anyone, "Are they courting?"

He felt the bile rise to his throat, he cleared his throat worried her may actually throw up. He felt light headed. This is bad, very bad. "What? No! He uh just feels bad for being a dick earlier."

Nepxa didn't know the word he uttered but she knew that her karyu wasn't the warmest to Y/N in the beginning. She nodded her head, "Thank you."

As she left, Neytiri paused at the information. She knew someone was watching, they were hard to hear at first but the trees will talk if you listen closely. She "left," waiting out the other person, mildly surprised to find the born Sarentu raised Omatikaya; Nexpa. She thought of the words said: courting. Not, does Y/N like Tsu’tey? No. Nepxa asked if they were courting, meaning if one was smitten the other was too. Tsu'tey had to reciprocate the feelings Y/N had.

She sighed, watching as the clan lived their everyday lives. She did not want to be Tsahik, she did not want to be Tsu’tey's mate, but … she did not want to disappoint her people. She thought back to Tsu'tey, who seemed to have changed back to his old self. Not the one who's heart was closed off, not the one who's life was turned upside down. No. Someone who still had love to give and love to receive.

Y/N was good for Tsu'tey, and by extension the village. He needed someone strong but some who balances out his hard headed-ness. Some who was gentle and patience. Y/N would be a fine match for Tsu'tey, a fine addition to the clan.

-

As the pod pushed open, Jake gasped for breath. The memory of Nepxa was continuous in his mind. His gaze fell on to Norm, who just so happened to be Y/N other human friend, whom she shared much with.

-

"So how's training?" You looked up from the book herbs you had made, seeing Norm and Jake ahead of you.

You shrugged, "Not to bad now I guess."

They looked suspiciously happy, and that was never a good sign. Jake wheeled a little closer, as Norm continued to hover, "Well a little, not so little, birdy told me you might like a certain brooding future leader."

Your eyes immediately latched to Norm, hand in surrender, "Wasn't me, but…, "he trailed off looking at the surprisingly interesting metal door.

"But?"

"When he asked, after who ever told him, I may or may have not confirmed it."

Maybe the training in the avatar body was somehow rubbing off on this body, the pillow you threw at Norm's face was unexpectedly fast. His head knocked back, and as Jake was distracted one was thrown at him too.

"Ow. What the fuck was that for?"

"For meddling in business that is not yours."

He scoffed at the accusation, "Not my business? You are my business, I brought you to the Omaticaya and now you have a crush on the future leader?" His voice was laced in sarcasm and hypocrisy.

"Oh. Right because getting lost was definitely a ploy to get accepted to the Omaticaya not you being a dumb ass. I'm sorry, is only one of us allowed to have a crush on their teacher at a time? Is my time up? Are you going to keep pinning for Neytiri?"

Jake grew warm as that comment, "At least I'm not so obvious that one of the Na'vi comes to question another sky-person!"

You paused at the information, "What?"

"Your little friend, Nepxa? Asked if you and Tsu'tey have always been so smiley, so touchy, so flirty! Okay? Sorry I'm worried that your being a little too obvious with this crush."

You rolled you eyes at him, "Well when you stop having the hots for Neytiri I'll stop having the hots for Tsu'tey. Okay?"

The sarcasm and hostility almost made Jake flinch, never mind Norm who decided that the dishes were fascinating and needed to be done. He sighed, lowering his voice, "I just don't want to see you hurt okay? Can we both drop the bitchy act and just talk? Please?"

You were a little more composed and calm compared to Jake, but liking Tsu'tey was a touchy subject - you could see why Nepxa was hesitant to ask, while that and because he already had a betrothed and who better to ask then the other uniltìranyu. You rubbed your hands over your face, and nodded, "Okay fine. What did you want to tell me?"

"Just… just be careful okay? It wasn't too long ago that he wanted you dead, okay? And try not to be so obvious yeah? If it noticeable to one of his students then maybe all of them are noticing it."

"Okay. Okay. Yeah. But you too okay? All those innuendoes aren't exactly 'saint' worthy okay?"

His blue eyes turned away, gently patting your thigh, "Yeah I know, I'll dial it back."

"So, are we all friends again?" Another pillow was somehow thrown at Norm, and oh would you look at that it was actually two pillows.

The Tree of Voices swayed gently, the thrum of Pandora was strong in the air. Mighty. Tsu'tey walked along the tendrils, letting his fingers faintly brush against them. He paused, taking a breath before attaching his queue to the other side. Before he opened his eyes to see the beyond, he heard a tune being hummed. A smile made it's way to his face, finally he opened his eyes.

A figure was by the water, watching the fish jump and flounder around. Sensing his eyes, Sylwanin turned, her yellow eyes piercing Tsu'tey's soul once again. A smiled formed on her mouth before she waved her hand, "Tsu'ety! Come! The fish are fighting!" His smiled formed larger in that moment, but when he was next to her it simply ceased to grow.

His hearted ached; he towered over her but before she was the one who towered over him, he older but she was the one born first. His throat ached from the pain of holding back the sadness threatening to spill. A hand found his before delicately shaking him, "What is wrong?"

"I need to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Do you still hate dream-walkers?"

The, now, younger girl hesitated to speak. She looked at the fish in the riverbank, watching them swim calmly now, "I… There are many dream-walkers I hate; the ones who ruin home, the ones who disregard life, the ones who killed my people. But there were some I was fond of; Grace. She was always kind and tried to keep up safe. I do not hate her." The pair sat in silence, the two who were to be betrothed now sat in the afterlife; one a permanent resident and one who wished to be as well. Her voice was soft, "Is there a dream-walker you are fond of Tsu'tey?"

He halted his speech, afraid to vocalize the answer to someone who he was very fond of. The silence was answer enough to her though.

"If she too holds a special place in your heart, Eywa will allow it."

"Will you allow it?"

"Tsu'tey... I am not there to allow or not. If she is to belong, she will belong with the people, with you." She covered his chest with her hand, "Love is something we all deserve. It did not die with me. Live Tsu'tey. Eywa's hand shall guide you."

He slowly gasped for breath as he was thrown in his body. The purple vines glowed brighter than before, their humming and the voices of the past louder. Sylwanin voice coming louder than the rest, "Live Tsu'tey, Eywa's hand shall guide you."

The question that burdened his mind now; could he live with being guided to a sky-person?

-

Today would be the third day you evaded Tsu'tey. Jake had told you that he was waiting by your body. He would radio you when he left, to sneak away and avoid him.

Jake gave you a pointed look, "Come on. You can come stay with me and Neytiri. I'm sure she wouldn't mind." You gave a blank stare at the offer, surely Tsu'tey would find you . "I'm serious. I'll be there so Tsu'tey won't get any ideas. I'll beat his ass for you, don't worry.”

Jake had asked why he was doing this, but when you shrugged, with constant changing the topic he knew there was at least a fight. He knew Tsu'tey wouldn't physically fight you, you were a healer, sky-person or not that at least added a little more likeness to you from the clan.

You gave a little chuckle as you nodded, "Alright let's go."

"That's the spirit."

"Shut up."

"So when are you going to tell me what happened?" He untactfully prodded.

You sighed, finally telling Jake what happened that day. "-but like I said, it didn't hurt, not really. I was just shocked he would grab me suddenly. Yes, I disrespected the Eyktan but I thought Tsu'tey I dunno, wouldn't grab me like that hard. Am I making a big deal out of nothing?"

Silence was met with your question. Feeling the heat rise to your cheeks when there was no response, you turned your head to Jake. "I'm going to kill him."

"Jake, you are not going to kill the future Olo'Eyktan. It was a genuine accident… I think."

"You think!" He dropped his head in his hands, "I swear I will gut him from the inside out Y/N, say the word and I will do it. Future clan leader be damned."

"Jake. I am fine, I just don't want to talk to him, okay?" You patted Jake shoulder as he hunched over, probably fighting the urge to go and challenge Tsu'tey right now. You shrugged, grabbing Jakes arm, tugging him along. "Come on, this is probably how he meant it anyway. Let's go, before Neytiri gets mad at you again." He scowled but let himself be dragged along.

You were uneasy. It was like you could feel Tsu'tey eyes on you. You were going crazy. Great, just what you needed. "Y/N, do you think you are ready for the Ikran ceremony?"

"Fuck no. Tsu'tey didn't teach me anything, besides archery and weaving that one time."

"Well, you better catch up huh?"

"Ugh. This isn't fair. At least you got a good teacher, that puts aside their hatred," Neytiri patted your shoulder, an attempt to help ease you.

"Give him time Ma'Y/N. He has been deeply scorned by humans. He will come around fully." You sighed but nodded, if anyone knew the future Olo’Eytkan it would be the future Tsahik. "Now come on. Let us teach Y/N how to hunt again and be one with Eywa." Jake yipped and you smiled. Maybe this would be fun.

-

Tsu'tey watched. He stalked. He followed. Eyes on your figure as Neytiri guided your hand with the bow, as she smacked down testing your form and resilience. He ended practice early, the numeyu(student) chatting quietly and fast, "Why did karyu(teacher) Tsu'tey end practice early?"

Iwom adjusted his cuff, fixing his beaded bracelet to point forward. He sighed as he went to grab the basket of fish. Though it was incredibly faint, he heard the churn of fresh dirt. He attention turned to the steps creeping up, "Arvok you step loud as always."

A deep laugh was heard, "Your hearing rivals a palulukan (thanator)." Iwom rolled his eyes at Arvok comparison.

"What do you want Arvok?"

"Why are you here, early in the day?"

"I asked first."

"Seems we are at a predicament." Another eye roll was given, before he could continue to grab the basket, Arvok swooped faster and picked the heavy load for him. "I will help and you will tell why you are not training. Feigning sick?"

He scoffed at the older Na'vi's words, he was a model student - he would never feign sickness to miss class. He would never miss class point blank period. Not wanting to deal with his childhood friends' antics, he - not so gently - yanked the basket from Arvok, huffing a laugh as other stumbled to catch himself.

What felt like hours of being hounded and hounded and hounded -20 minutes at best- Iwom finally relented, giving in to his childish friend's questions, "Ugh you are annoying. Like a child throwing a tantrum, crying for what he wants." Arvok grinned, knowing this was Iwom's breaking point, "I do not know why karyu Tsu'tey ended class early, he huffed after seeing the dreamwalker with Neytiri and said, 'Lesson over. Go.' "

Arvok's smile dropped, taking a moment to think. "He just… left? That is it? Just 'Go?'"

Iwom crossed, "Yes, that is it. Now go, the food is for my mother. Go." Iwom stalked towards home-tree, his last nerve being danced on by Arvok. With said other Na'vi wearing a look of confusion still, unsure why his brother would cancel the training.

After searching, he finally found Tsu'tey… he was… hiding?

He peered further forward, as his eyes found you; eating and talking with the other tawtute. His brow raised as his brother's eyes were trained on you still. Making his presence known, he cleared his throat. Tsu'tey whipped around, the fear of being caught written on his face. He flushed a dark purple at Arvok's grin. Before Tsu'tey could even think of an excuse the wind carried Arvok's whisper right to his ears, "You like the sky demon."

He was off; running, jumping, sliding through the forest, knowing his brother was hot on his tail. He was almost to home-tree, his brother wouldn't act rash and childish in front of others, almost there he could see the clearing. He was snatched back by his cummerbund, his stomach aching already and the wind being stolen from his lungs.

"Ftang skxawng (stop moron)."

He coughed as he tried to breathe in air, gasping, "Txanfwìngtu (bastard)."

With his brother knocked over on the floor dying for air, Tsu'tey hunched over to catch his breath. "You.. annoying… pest." Each word with a huff and a puff in between.

Arvok was quick to recover, back to his feet, crouching low with a stupid smile on his face, "You watch the dream-walker? Finish training early to watch? Do you like the demon?"

Tsu'tey growled low, deep from his chest; a warning. "Do not speak on what you do not know brother."

With his smile still intact, he feigned a leap; catching his brother off guard. "I will not tell. For now."

The brothers stared at each other before Tsu'tey groaned childishly, Arvok raised his brow - this was not common - before he spoke, "I have… let my anger control me… for a moment. I have hurt the healer dream-walker."

Arvok let his mouth drop from shock, many things Tsu'tey was but he was not a man who hurt healers. He had respect for them, taking the hurt and healing, easing the sick and elderly to Eywa was no easy feat; yet they did it in stride, not for themselves but for others. "Because she is a sky-person healer?" His tone was one of shock and filled with disagreement.

His tailed swayed back and forth as his ears clung to his head, "No! I just-I let anger control me. I did not wish harm on her, she is a healer; one to be respected." Regret clung to every word Tsu'tey spurted out to his brother. Arvok could see as this weighed heavy on future Olo’Eyktan.

"She did not accept the apology? Be more…" how would he say this without his brother trying to kill him, he though and nothing came to mind, "be less of a kurkung (asshole) when you speak to her."

With his ears still cast downward, his voice carried to Arvok's ears, "I have not apologized."

"What?"

"I have not apologized. She will not let me near."

Arvok sighed, dropping his head into his hands, "You moron."

This might have been the only time in Tsu'tey's life he would let his brother insult him like that, "Go apologize. And stop ending training early; the student will believe you like the sky-person." With that he gave a frustrated huff, turned his heel, and left his brother to ponder.

-

With Jake and Neytiri, of course it was fun; with Jake saying stupid things and Neytiri scolding him, genuine fun… until Tsu'tey appeared. "Ma'Neytiri what are you doing with my dream-walker."

She scowled, "Training her."

"That is my job."

"Then do it right. We wouldn't be here if you would have done it properly."

Jake stood in front of you, shielding you from Tsu'tey's gaze, "Ma'Y/N, let us go."

Jake spoke, unhappy with how he was treating you, "No. She is staying here with me and Neytiri. We are going to get her ready for the Ikran."

"Control your demon Ma'Neytiri." Tsu'tey scowled, "She will come with me. The Tsahik wants to meet with her."

"Then we will all go. And when they are done, she will stay with me and Neytiri to train. She's safe with us at least." Jake muttered that last sentence to himself, but everyone still heard it. Tsu'tey’s ears twitched, he had wanted to apologize if he had hurt in the way when walking to the Tsahik, another time will have to do.

Neytiri eyed Tsu'tey, how his tail dropped and swayed side to side in a melancholy way, "It is okay Ma'Jake he will not hurt her, let Y/N decide."

Jake stared at her with disbelief, that stare turned to you while everyone was awaiting your answer. You bit your lip, "It is okay, Tsu'tey can take me with Tsahik while you train more but to put your mind at ease after we can train together again."

Jake's stare continued, wide and unbelieving. You had a small smile and gave him a pat on the back. It was a small whisper, Neytiri couldn't even hear, "I’ll radio you in case anything happens."

You stepped around Jake to Tsu'tey, giving a wave bye. Tsu'tey turned to walk the way he came, and you followed.

Tsu'tey has slowed down so you were right next to him. That was a first, he usually left you in the dust. It helps improve your tracking skills, especially when he left his original place to go with others and what not. You usually found him but would just stay in the background, he obviously didn't want you around. Tsu'tey eyed you, up and down. You were the first dream-walker he trained and he was failing. The ikran ceremony for Jake Sully was supposed to be in four weeks, you were not ready at all.

It was his fault. You even had to seek out a different teacher. His ears flattened at the realization. His face soured, his features shifting and squishing together. You side-eyed Tsu'tey, he looked like he ate a sour lemon. 'Great,' you thought. More shit to put up with, fun.

"Ma'Y/N." Your throat was dry; you cleared it and nodded at him. He frowned at the lack of words to him.

"I am sorry for grabbing you. And for any pain I caused you from it. That was not my intention. " You stopped in your tracks as did Tsu'tey.

The apology angered you, stomach burning with fire. Maybe it was all the pent-up frustration, the weeks of ignoring or being insulted, maybe it was the fact you still found him attractive. Your ears flattened and you huffed a humorless laugh, "Why are you apologizing now, huh? To you I am nothing but a Vrrtep. You have made it clear that I am nothing to you, not even an afterthought. I do not want this fake and insincere apology Tsu'tey. Just take me to the Tsahik please." Tsu'tey just stood there. His heart was beating fast. What was he to do? He had apologized and you rejected it. This was worst case scenario.

"Ma'Y/N may I?" He asked as he glanced at your arm.

You immediately recoil, "No!" This was the first time you have shouted at him.

He let out a frustrated sigh, shaking his head back and forth,"I do not wish you any harm. I just want to show you something… Please." His tail drooped as his ear fell towards the ground, a look of sorrow filled his face

The desperate plea hung in the air. Something told you to trust him. But how could you? While you knew he didn't mean to grab you so harshly, he still did. Before you could answer, a gentle breeze surrounded the two of you. It wasn’t strong, but it felt as if it was pushing the two of you closer. The feeling of ease started to creep inside you, as you stared at his yellow eyes filled with sadness. "Okay, but Tsu'tey?"

“Yes vrrtep?” He said it without malice or hate, maybe something akin to fondness?

“If you ever touch me like that again, I will gut you from the inside out.”

His stomach dropped, but he nodded. No one has ever talked to him like that. A first for everything as they say. You squinted at the warrior, hoping not to regret this later, “Ma'Tsu'tey I forgive you, please lead the way.”

Unable to contain his excitement his tail whipped out, ears flickered up at the sound of the forest surrounding the two of you. He hesitated as he grabbed your hand, gently, and led you to the home tree. Right before going to the Tsahik, he turned heading towards the forest edge. Under a leaf there was a strange little bag.

"This is for you," He uttered as he picked it up and dug out the pouches inside.

Warily staring at it, you lifted an eyebrow, "What is it?"

"Paint dust." Your eyes lit up from the gift, tail swaying side to side.

"Paint dust?" You gave a toothy smile, and Tsu'tey felt his heart speed up. Ignoring it, he continued to speak.

"Yes. You mix with water. Little like this." He brought his fingers together very close. Your tail flicked out again while a smile made its way on to your lips. You closed the space, eager to see how they looked, and Tsu'tey heartbeat sped up even faster at your proximity.

His stomach flipped as you shoulder grazed him. Here you were happy and had accepted his gift to you. Maybe he had a chance to turn it around.

"Thank you Ma'Tsu'tey. This is wonderful! I have missed painting." You were still smiling as you spoke. You looked so beautiful to him. It registered to him what he had just thought now.

"Tsahik now." Were the only words he managed to utter out and he turned his heel. You scrambled to follow, a little upset at the 180° attitude change but it was Tsu'tey. You follow after to meet the Tsahik.

"Ah Ma'Y/N, welcome. I see you."

You shifted the dust to one arm, "Thank you Tsahik. I see you. And I thank you."

She nodded as you said the greeting, "I was told you were interested in painting and our medicine." Your gaze shifted quickly to Tsu'tey and back to the Tsahik.

"Yes, growing up I would paint and draw with Earth supplies my parents were able to snag in the RDA. While learning about you, the Na'vi, I also learned human medicine and techniques."

She nodded, "You are eager to learn. That is good. Yes, I have been asked to teach you how to use the dust, to examine you, and to show you the medicine we use. Ma'Tsu'tey you may leave."

Tsu'tey wanted to stay, and to watch you but the Tsahik had asked so he obliged.

As you and the Tsahik started, Tsu'tey left. He paced at the edge of the forest awaiting you to be done. His lower stomach warmed at the thought of your smile. He knew he was starting to get in your good graces, hopefully. What next? Should he get you art supplies or take you to sketch like Jake Sully had? Maybe the second choice, to get you alone. It was selfish, he knew but he wanted you to himself. Maybe he could craft you something. Oh, was that dangerous though, a gift from one unmated to another was one thing, but continuous? That was dangerous territory, but something small couldn’t hurt right, a necklace perhaps; one for your ceremony. It would be a simple congratulations between mentor and student, nothing more nothing less.

The Tsahik looked at Y/N. She thought back to Tsu'tey , and his insistence on on this dream-walker.

The draping cloth and beads to Healer's den was gently moved to the side. Mo'at ears flickered to the noise but she continued to grind the herbs. "Ma'Tsahik," she finally turned her head, "Oel ngati kameie." Nodding, she returned the phrase then went back to grinding the medicine. She waited for the young Na'vi to speak.

He hesitated before articulating what to say, "Tsahik, my dream-walker is a healer, a skyperson healer. She is interested in learning the medicinal ways of the people." She paused at the usage of 'my dream-walker.'

She hummed, "Your dream-walker?"

Tsu'tey furrowed his eyebrow before blushing,"Ah, the dream-walker I am training."

She continued to grind, adding an oily substance to the paste now. "She is a healer?"

"Yes. For sky people, she learnt their healer ways."

Mo'at pondered on that, would she allow a false body to learn. 'She will be part of the people soon.' She closed her eyes, sighing. She waited, for any signs, for any feeling of this being wrong; but there wasn't. With sounds of the forest carrying over to her ears she listened closely to the chatter of her people living their life. "Her training? Will this interfere with that?"

"It will not interfere." He deliberately left out how the progress was going, or well the non-existent progress that is. Could it interfere with their non-existent training? He shrugged, "I will not let it."

An eyebrow was raised but only a nod was given. He smiled, thanking her as he left. Mo'at could only shake her head, this was dangerous - too dangerous to continue.

-

Back to the present. She poked and prodded and grabbed your chin. She hummed in approval, well at least you hoped. "Dream-walker let me teach you the ways of the people."

As the lesson finished, you gathered the supplies. The silence that fell was heavy. You felt the eyes piercing into your back as you got up, whether it be courage or sheer stupidity -either or was most likely rubbed off from Jake- you broke the silence. "Thank you Tsahik… Grace misses the clan." There weren't many things that could leave Mo'at speechless, but this unfortunately took the cake, "She even misses you." With a final nod from, you left.

An hour had passed, and Tsu'tey had finally seen you coming out with the little bags on your hip. Your face was covered with a red hue paint. As you came closer, he touched your collarbone to wipe it off. You dared not to move, stuck wanting more but knowing this meant nothing to Tsu’tey. Unable to process his touch, he touched you again to make sure it was off. It felt like he touched the flefle plant when he grazed your skin. And Tsu'tey ached for the feeling again.

The gap between you was so small, an acrid pod could barely fit between you, his skin burned at your closeness. "How did it go?"

You smiled again, full teeth. "It was amazing. Tsahik taught me so much. I can't wait to use these again." Unknowingly, or maybe knowingly, Tsu'tey leaned in a bit closer. His mind was fried, not knowing the boundaries he should have with you, or maybe not caring as much. He wanted to be closer; your scent filled his senses.

You seemed not to notice the proximity between the two of you seeing as you were enthralled with your supplies. He nodded approvingly, "Good. Let us go train. I have to prepare you for the ceremony." You looked at him, finally realizing the space between you had grown nonexistent. Your eyes widened, as he somehow slowly got closer. Your breath stilled, and at that, Tsu’tey noticed. The lack of you breathing may have been the very thing that snapped him out of the trance he had, as he slowly straightened his back, “A fine healer you will be.”

You nodded as you were still entranced at the Na’vi and lack of space. He motioned his head to the training grounds, “Let us go my vrrtep.” You trailed behind completely forgetting the fact that you were supposed to meet Jake and Neytiri. What just transpired between you and the future Olo’Eyktan, made you felt lightheaded and had the heart skipping beats. You didn't even notice that use of 'my' from the soon-to-be clan leader.

"How's the training kid?" You looked up from the steel table, reading the latest flora report from Norm. Grace stood there before making her way to sit, cigarette unlit in one hand. You wrinkled your nose at it but didn't comment. Grace huffed a discreet laugh but waited for you to speak.

"It's okay." You said shrugging, and it was; though it wasn't ideal to just watch training, being able to participate would be best.

"Cut the bullshit kid. What's wrong?" She lit her cigarette, inhaling the smoke and letting it sit in her lungs before blowing it out to the right of her.

"Well… Tsu'tey has his reservations about um me, I guess. Well, vrrteps in general so I've been benched."

Another gust of smoke was blown, her nodding her head. "He wasn't always so hostile to us, to humans. In fact, he was one of my best students, he was a little intrigued about us. But after his betrothed died, Swyalnin had died in the school…" She trailed off, looking to the windows. Her face was contorted, regret twinkled in her eyes. You both sat there, in silence, not knowing what to say now.

-

Neytiri did let you join her Jake's lesson a few times, only because of Jake's insistent bugging and complaining. Neytiri nodded as you evaded Jake’s attack. “Good, you are not a warrior at heart Ma’Y/N, but you evade better than Jake who is.” It is something the two of you had discussed when the lessons first started, she saw the hesitance with the bow, the grimace of the kill. It replayed in your head.

“I will demonstrate the hunt. When the time comes, you shall partake and bring the clan food. As a successful warrior, as one of the people.” Neytiri started with tracking, you observed as she saw tracks; fresh and compacted from the wait. She sniffed the air, you did the same, it smelled different in the South direction. You followed behind with Jake, who too was observing intently. Neytiri scanned her surroundings, avoiding the värumut (vein pod), weaving through the leaves avoiding the pxiut (razor palm) but she stopped. The leaves were broken, with the tiniest bit of blood on there. She let her finger below, and the blood dropped. It was fresh, she smelled it, “Ah yes, this is yerik (hexapede) blood. The scent is mature; this is a good one. Let us go, the hunt has started.” Jake grinned as he nudged you til you were smiling as well.

Neytiri took in a breath as she drew the string back, she waited as the yerik bent down to eat, waiting for the vital point to be shown. As she exhaled, she let the arrow go, hitting the animal. She turned to head towards the two of you motioning forward with her, but she noticed a grimace. She made her way to the dying animal.

“Thank you brother, for these gifts. May you frolic with your ancestors and be with Ewya now.” She drew the knife and with one swoop the blade finished off the animal. She noticed as you hesitated to gather animals, the complete contrast to Jake who was grinning.

“You do not like to kill Ma’Y/N.” It was not a question, but a statement of your nature.

You grabbed the knife, starting to cut along the side for meat, “I do not. I….” You didn’t know how to continue, yes killing an animal was hard but it was the natural order you suppose.

“You have a kind heart Ma’Y/N, it may be too kind and soft for a warrior. You do not have to partake in the rituals, but you will not be allowed to stay with the people, as Jake will be. It is up to you, whichever you choose - we shall respect it.”

Jake waved his hand, as he spoke in broken Na’vi, “Soft heart not bad, you overcome later. Circle of life Ma’Y/N, takes time.” He nudged you again with his shoulder, in English this time, “You’ll be fine Y/N, it just takes some time to get used to. You love Pandora, fauna, flora, anything you see. But it is the circle of life, you got this. Now come on, honor his life and use every part - do not let his death be in vain, yeah?”

You scoffed, “For a being so slow Jake, you have your profound statements every now and then.” Your tension lessened as you cut the leg.

He shrugged laughing at your remark, “Hey you can’t count me out just yet, I say smart things every once in a while.”

Neytiri nodded, making a sound of an approved hum at the banter rolling off you two, “Time will make it easier for you Ma’Y/N.”

The time with Neytiri and Jake was well spent, being able to actually put what you have been watching from Tsu'tey and his warriors. It was exhilarating to actually train and learn hands on. There was something off though, every practice; the ears flattened, her diverting her eyes from you, small little things she would let slip.

But it did make sense once Neytiri taught the two of you with the pa'li. As you mounted, Jake made several non-comedic innuendos. Neytiri's ears slightly flattened and jaw clenched. So, she was jealous. Neytiri thought you guys were a couple or at the very least fucking.

"Jake please for the love of God shut the fuck up."

Jake laughed while Neytiri patted the horse, "Come Y/N you know I'm only teasing; you and Norm make a very cute couple."

Neytiri glanced up as you softly smiled, "Yeah, yeah stop ass kissing and pay attention. I'm sure Neytiri wants us to get on with the lesson." She smiled at you.

"Yes, as Y/N said stop the ass kissing and pay attention." You laughed as did Jake, and Neytiri chucked.

The thing is though, you and Norm weren't together, he confessed he liked Trudy, so you've been helping him. You could see why others thought you were together though, all that time spending alone practicing to ask her out or you giving him info. You hoped you'd find someone that enamored you.

When it was Jake's turn, Neytiri eased him through, “This is Tsaheylu - the bond. Feel her heartbeat, her breath. Feel her strong legs.” As his pupils dilated so did the pa’li’s, he felt the bond. His excitement got the better of him as he exclaimed “Forward!” The pa’li ran forward, promptly kicking Jake off. His body went down with a smack; you rushed to his aid as Neytiri rolled her eyes.

“Are you okay?” You hovered, gently touching his forearm.

Neytiri brought the dire horse back, as you helped Jake brush off the mud, he stuck his tongue to get the hair off of it, “Yes, just a bruised ego now.”

Knowing he didn’t have any bodily harm done to him you started to laugh, recalling the splat he had made when he fell. Jake stared at you incredulously, “I could have been seriously hurt.”

“But you weren’t, you just looked like a dumb ass calling off a horse,” at which Neytiri laughed, she couldn’t help it as she too recalled the sound he made.

As the laughter died down, Tsu'tey came out on his own pa'li. You shifted slightly behind Neytiri, both her and Jake noticed. He leaned forward, eyes on Jake as he said with a thick accent, “You should go away.”

Jake stared into Tsu'tey's eyes, “I know you could speak English.” You snorted, as Jake accused Tsu’tey.

Neytiri rolled her eyes at their exchange,"Ma'Tsu'tey, I see you."

"I see you. Why are you wasting your time with these demons? This alien will learn nothing... a rock sees more... look at him." His arrogant smile was paired with a laugh, with his fellow warriors laughing along with him. His eyes made their way to you as you still hid behind Neytiri, “And that one, there is no hope. Too much fear, like a yerik in the forest hearing a sound.”

Neytiri shook her head before sighing softly and gently slapped the pa'il, "Go."

She gently touched your shoulder and lingered as Jake went to hop on the horse. Jake saw you staring, he gave a wink to you which you rolled your eyes at. Your stomach fluttered as you watched Tsu'tey ride off.

She turned to Jake, “Again.”

-

Jake grunted, the pa'li surged forward, he barely made it through one ride before Neytiri called it a day. You clapped, "Wow Jake, made it a whole lap. "

The pa'li raised its hind legs as Jake grunted. He hopped off as you slow clapped, eventually shoving your shoulder at the sarcastic sound. Neytiri chuckled as the two of you started shoving one another back and forth. You slid further away as Jake right stepped forward; he fell another splat echoed. You doubled over laughing as Neytiri had a laugh escape her as well. "Really? Again, you skxwang?"

Jake laid there, sulking in the mud. "You sound like Grace insulting me, asshole."

"Yeah well maybe she was right."

He rolled his eyes as he wiped the mud off, "Imagine Grace seeing me like this? She'd have a field day."

Holding you hand out, Jake grabbed it and using his strength he pulled you into the mud. You let out a gasp before hitting the wet floor. "You dickface."

He barked out a laugh as did Neytiri. Pushing Jake down, you brought yourself up - hiding behind Neytiri as Jake got up. You scooped up the mud from your arms, throwing it at Jake as he pushed the dirt off of him. He froze. He subtly scooped the mud from his chest, whirled and threw it - completely forgetting Neytiri was the hitbox now.

She gasped and Jake was frozen again, "Oh I'm so telling Gracee dirt her. She's gonna grill your ass." You scooped the mud from your chest, placing it in Neytiri's hand, "Do it ma'Neytiri. Chuck it in his face! She's gonna be pissed you threw mud at Neytiri!" You doubled over in laughter, how could you not. You scraped the mud off yourself, compacting it nice and tight, you hovered over Neytir's ear, "Make the shot."

Jake held his hands up in surrender.

He shook his head, fervently, opposing being the target though he just started this dangerous game mere minutes ago. Her ears were pinned as she squinted her eyes, slowly, slowly taking the mud-ball from your hands. The devilish grin that appeared on your face made Jake's stomach drop, and before he turned to run - in a blink of an eye the ball connected with his forehead. Pushing his head back, then his body following right behind.

"Son of a bitch! Goddamn that hurt."

-

Wiping the mud away, the three of you sat in silence; exhausted and spent from running around throwing mud-balls at one another. You laid down, letting the grass caress your back. Inhaling, Jake spoke without thinking, "Grace would've loved to see that." You froze, eyeing Neytiri and her shifting, and her droopy tail.

Your followed in pursuit, "Yeah she would've huh."

The Pandora's night air was crisp to your lungs, breathing in and out. The howls and yips from the creatures lurking could be heard from miles away, but the three of you sat in silence.

-

Another day with being ignored again. Tsu’tey didn’t acknowledge your presences, it was as if ghost lingered. You came to the clearing for training every day, why? You had no idea. Maybe there was still hope Tsu’tey would change his mind and actually train you like the Olo’Eyktan ordered to. Maybe deep down you wanted him to at the very least acknowledge you; a simple nod, maybe a smile if it was a good day.

You found a fallen tree in a shade, with a few of the warriors in view. A sigh escaped your lips, watching them so many times does tend to get boring. Your eyes drifted closer to home tree, watching as some of the people weave, some cook, the children running around arms flapping like an ikran. You watched the children jump on one another, screeching as one caught the other and now, they were the big bad ikran. ‘Tag. They’re playing tag. I guess there's only some many games any child could come up with.’

Tsu’tey shook his head as the youngest of the warriors got knocked down. He extended his hand, helping the warrior in training up. He turned his head, already preparing his signature scowl at you. But your eyes weren't trailing on him, or observing the warriors, instead they were on the home tree. As the children played, he saw the smile that made its way on your face. The quiet giggle as the children laughed and tumbled into each other.

He was smiling too, as the children took another dive into each other. It was wiped when the trainees called him. He shook his head, distracting thoughts gone from his head.

-

You were sitting under your usual tree, in the shade watching Tsu'tey and his numeyu, out of sight though. Closing your eyes for what seemed like a couple of minutes, you heard soft steps coming towards you. Peeking through one squinted eye, there she was small and shaking. Her little bangs had an upside-down V in the middle, and she had 4 thick braids tucked behind her ear with the rest of her hair in a small braid. She held tightly to the wooden pa'li horse, it was decorated with red stripes and purple legs. You opened your eyes fully and waited for her to speak, but she never did. She would open her mouth but never found the words.

Her mouth quivered as you shuffled down to be at eye-level. You offered a small smile before speaking, "The pa'li is very beautifully painted, did you do it?"

Distracted, she turned her attention to her toy, nodding as she did. "Yes, my brother Päkat made it for me. It was his fifth one he made before giving it to me."

You feigned surprise,"Wow, it is very well made too."

She smiled, proud of her and her brother's abilities were getting praised. Her demeanor turned shy again, as she avoided eye contact, "Can you play pa'li race with me ma'uniltìranyu?"

You have a fake pondered look before replying to the little girl, "I don't have a pa'li horse nor have I ever played, do you think you can be my karyu(teacher) and teach me how to play?"

The shaking wasn't from fear anymore but from excitement coursing through her tiny stature. "Yes! I will get my other pa'li toys! I will be the best karyu ever!" And then she was off, her little legs running back to her village, clutching her toy so tight and heart beating fast.

It wasn't long before her brother and his friend came to check on her, "Eyayng! Get away from the demon!" The two boys, who couldn't be more than a year or two older than her.

Eyayng stuck her tongue out as the boys got closer, "Shut up, she is not a demon! Her name is Y/N and she's playing races with me!'" The two boys hesitated. They slowly approached as Eyayng turned her attention away from her brothers and back to you.

She went back to explaining the rules, from the corner of your eyes you seen the boys crouch and slowly make their ways to you. You nodded along as she shown her color coordination for her ranking the horses.

The friend of the brother, Sraihäk, spoke up when Eyayng said the wrong rule.

-

Right before you called it a day Jake took you to look at the Flora, he stashed a bag with your sketchbooks and charcoal. He grinned, "Here, I know you've been dying to sketch and with that asshole I doubt you've been able to."

You smiled softly, "Thank you Jake, I mean it."

His ears flattened, and he rubbed his neck - chuckling as he did, “Don't mention Y/N.”

As you two snuck out into the night, Tsu'tey followed.

You found a spot, close enough to return but not so close you would be seen. You drew the atokirina as it floated on Jake's head and then another floated on you as well. You drew the plants that retracted back into the ground. The night was beautiful. Jake just stayed with you asking you questions, "So what's your favorite color?"

"Oh it has to be F/C. It just… it used to be my dads favorite color so now it's mine. Yours?"

Jake saw how your tail drooped; he only heard a little from Grace about your parents. Trying to save the Na'vi children and dying with them. He tried to lift the mood, "Pshh hmm. That's a hard one. I guess if it boils down to it blue of course," he said, gesturing to all of himself. Your tail lifted and slightly swayed back and forth as you laughed.

It was a quiet night, as you drew you wondered what type of plants healed. It was only natural for you to be curious. Tsu'tey continued to watch, as you sketched and as Jake lounged. He watched as your ears shifted to any hoot or hiss in the wind, your tail flicked as you were frustrated not being able to draw what you wanted correctly. He watched how the atokirina hovered by, but never to close - in a way just like him. He kept watching you, not Jake, just you. You were fascinated by the Flora but had respect for it as well.

It was a different appreciation then what Norm and Grace had, kin to it but so drastically different. His eyes caught something, an atokirina floated next to him and traveled to you. He furrowed his brow together. No. No this is, this cannot be happening. No, that is a mistake. His stomach dropped as you held your hand out. It danced around you before resting on your palm. He saw a soft smile appear on your lips and heard your voice throughout the night, “They remind me of butterflies.” Jake raised an eyebrow and hummed in agreement. “I've only seen pictures of butterflies, and videos. Have you ever seen one?”

He scoffed, “Yeah, no. I'm sure they're wiped out on Earth. There were so many mass extinctions that I lost count.”

Frowning, you turned to Jake. “Come here,” you waved your hand motioning him to come close, patting on the ground. He obliged, slowly as the atokirina still rested on you.

“While we didn't see the beauty that was on Earth before, let's at least appreciate this one, no?” He rolled his eyes but nodded, nonetheless. It was as if the Ewya had heard you, and more and more atokirina floated around you. Dancing and floating before they scattered away. “See? You have to appreciate life no matter how small.” Jake nodded a bit before leaning over to see what you drew.

Tsu'tey's tailed flick, maybe there was hope for you. Maybe you could see. He hopped down, silent and with ease, as a true warrior.

“What's that plant?” Before you could respond Neytiri came into view and your eyes widened.

Her ears heightened up and she drew an eyebrow up, "What are you doing here?"

Jake put his hands up in surrender and shrugged, "It was my idea." His Na’vi was at least getting better, all those study sessions with you and Norm seem to help a little.

“Besides healing with the sky people, I also draw. Jake took me. I am done, I promise.”

Neytiri scowled," Let me see." You clutched the sketchbook hard before giving it to her with your eyes cast downward.

She flipped through the pages, a little surprised at the quality of your work, “Good. Very good."

You smiled and thanked her. As she was about to usher you back toward the tree, Tsu'tey appeared from the shadows. You shuffled behind Jake; he was intimidating as always. "What are you doing out here?"

"Calm down. I was taking them back right now. Y/N was just finishing up."

"Let me look. Now." Neytiri rolled her eyes but handed the sketchbook to him, your protest wouldn't have mattered - not to Tsu'tey anyways.

Tsu'tey flipped and flipped till he came across the atokirina. His stomach dropped, an unexplained feeling came to him. No, he could explain it, fear; No, the Great Mother was wrong. You were a demon. A false body. You could not see, not now, not ever. "You call this good? A child can draw better than that." Tsu'tey laughed a cruel laugh at you… though it was hollow.

Jake's eyes narrowed and Neytiri hissed a 'Stop.'

His voice was low, “Say that again."

You blinked the tears away, to be humiliated in front of people you care about made you want to curl up and cry. You cleared your throat, pulling Jake closer to you "Jake, no."

"No Y/N. He's been treating you like shit this whole entire time. Not any more."

"Listen to the other demon JakeSully."

You grabbed Jake's shoulder again, shaking your head. Jake hissed at Tsu'tey as he grabbed your hand, "Let’s go. We can talk more in the lab." Neytiri shot Tsu'tey a menacing glance. Tsu'tey did not like the way his stomach dropped at the sight of you two, Neytiri didn't like it either.

-

Tsu'tey was never much to converse with. He was a man of action, not necessarily words. But with you, he drew a blank to both. He did not want you close, not at all. Not when his eyes would drift to your face; you look radiant as the sun hit your face or even at night as you glowed. He did not like the feeling he got when you examined plants, or when you would talk to Jake and smile, your pointed teeth in view.

He could not like any of those things; he was to be Olo'Eyktan and future mate of Neytiri, the next Tsahik. Plus, you were a demon. A dream-walker in a false body. He shouldn't, nay couldn't, let his attention be caught by your soft smiles or how his stomach feels as it's in knots any time you would attempt to talk to him. Or how when you laughed it soothed his erratic heart. No, these were impure thoughts, he had to keep you at arm's length.

Except as he did that, he noticed it drove you into the arms of JakeSully. That left a bitter taste in his mouth. He knew the comment with your drawings was unnecessarily cruel. He should’ve just left. That was supposed to get you away but once he noticed you were gone he felt an ache; you weren't under your usual shaded spot, that you weren't trailing behind him in the village, you weren't there to help the 'evengs who got their toys stuck when they threw it too high or even play with the lonely 'evi. The 'evengs even started to ask for you.

"Where is the dream walker ma'leiokoaktan(respected male elder)?" A small female child holding a pa'li wooden horse wandered up to him, right before lessons with his numeyus(students).

He lowered himself down, a raised eyebrow at the young child, "What business do you have with the Uniltìrantokx (dreamwalker)?"

The little girl, Eyayng if he remembered correctly, jutted out her bottom lip, "She plays pa'li race when older brother and his friends don't want to play."

"Eyayng, why not play with another 'eveng? Or ask another member to play."

"It is not the same, she makes these funny sounds," she giggled as she remembered, "She said where her sa'sem (parent) came from, they have horses! They make these funny sounds, or maybe she makes them funny." She shrugged, the excitement wearing off as she remembered the uniltìrantokx was not here today

"I will play with you after training, I can't make the funny noises but I will try."

That afternoon was a slightly humiliating one, with Eyayng correcting his animal noises. He made everyone of his numeyus play pa'li racing, so he was not the only one to be embarrassed by the small 'evi.

He sought after you, he noticed you were with Jake and Neytiri. You had grown slightly closer with Neytiri, being able to converse with her better than Jake had its upside. You laughed as Neytiri called Jake a skxáwng. He watched you daydreaming away as Neytiri reprimanded Jake for being irresponsible. His ears perked up at the sound of your voice.

"I will be back, Norm needs some help."

Jake grinned while Neytiri smiled, nodding as you waved 'bye'. He furrowed his eyebrows, 'Why would you want to help that skinny false body?" He turned, forgetting what that he sought you out for Eyayng, and left to the train.

-

You hopped off the pod, greeting Norm as you steadied yourself from the disconnection. "So, what did you need my help with?" He looked a little nervous and motioned slightly toward the rooms. You followed as he scurried. As you guys enter Norm's room, he shifts uneasily as he sat.

"What's wrong?" You loomed over him, worried about what he would blurt.

"Nothing. Um, just that… Trudy shot me down."

"Oh no Norm I'm so sorry."

"Yeah she thought I was trying to cheat on you."

"Oh fuck christ, really?"

He nodded his head, dejected with his shoulders slumped. "Look, I'll explain to her that you were only trying to help me with Avatar stuff and the Na'vi language. Nothing else."

"It's fine. She also is having a fling with one of the soldiers too so there's not much you can do."

You grimaced, 'Fuck'. "Do you wanna talk about it or get shit faced drunk? Or both?"

Norm gave a sad smile, "Both."

You two were huddled by the large stalk outside, you were already shit faced. But still kept taking the mask off and swinging a beer to drink.

A pair of eyes watched the two of you with disdain. They couldn't keep watching, afraid of how this would turn out. He turned, leaving the sight of a pair of drunkards, before casting one last look in your true form, your true human form. It physically pained his chest that he still thought you look pretty, even as tawtute.

While Norm was a touchy feely drunk you were an emotional drunk. A pair made in heaven you could say. Norm had his arm wrapped around you as you started to sob about what Tsu'tey said and how this whole thing really took its toll with you, emotionally.

"Is it wrong that I still want him to fuck my brains out?" You sniffled at the end.

Norm eyes widened and he fell dramatically to the floor dying of laughter, "You for sure have some degradation kink or monster kink. Oh, good heavens."

You whined as he laughed, "Stop. I'm already embarrassed."

"I would be too if I were you," he gasped in between each word.

“I'm going insane!” You exclaimed, throwing your hand in the air, devastated at the predicament you were in - that you honestly put yourself in.

Norm laughed again, clapping like a walrus, “Oh my god you're supposed to learn and be one, not in one another.” He was having way too much fun with this.

"I swear to God I will punch you, Norm." As the night lulled by, the two of you drunkenly got up, and fell down and got up again making it towards your room. You both crashed on your bunk bed.

You woke up with a pounding headache, with your limbs aching and stomach churning. You're never drinking with Norm again. Holy shit can that fucking stick of a dude drink his weight in alcohol. It was the afternoon and Norm was still snoring. Jake had already been in the pod for two hours. You sighed, 'I'll go just to stretch my avatar, use the bathroom and eat a bit. Simple.' you thought.

No, of course, it couldn't be simple, no not for you. As you were sneaking around to stretch, you ran into Tsu'tey. No problem, right? He doesn't want to teach; you'll be able to scurry along not have to deal with the dickwad. No, that was not in your cards today as it seemed.

"Y/N."

Your stomach dropped and you felt like throwing up; from fear or the remnants of last night, you weren’t entirely sure. You didn't answer but just looked at him and nodded.

He narrowed his eyes at your pinned ears, his tail flicked. " Let us go."

Your face crumpled, eyebrows knitted and ears shifted, "What?" You said stupidly.

He huffed, "We will do archery and then do weaving. Hurry and follow." Your mood started to grow sour. You begrudgingly followed behind. Tsu'tey sighed, to at least have her talk to him again would be hard.

"No. No. Your stance is too … "

"Wobbly?"

"Yes. Wobbly. "

"Stand as tall as a tree. Feel it here." Your lower abdomen burned as he touched you. You exhaled and inhaled, standing straight. The shot actually made it close to the bullseye. He nodded with approval, very rare from him to you," Better."

You tail shift slightly, as you puffed your chest out slightly. Tsu'tey hide his grin, he could feel the happiness exuding from you from his words of praise.

The next activity was weaving. You're not entirely sure why Tsu'tey had taken you here, you've never expressed interest in this particular art. You were being trained by Ninat as you started to learn to weave. While she was the best singer, she was also a top-notch weaver… and was one of only ones willing to teach you.

Your first attempt was decent enough. The sides had some fraying parts, and the colors were vibrant. Ninat nodded her head, “Very good, sides need work and some loops are out. Have you done something similar?” Her tail moved back and forth, eagerly awaiting your answer.

“Yes, my mother taught me how to weave with a device that was used on Earth.”

“Did your mother only teach you once? Were you not interested as a child?”

You avoid eye contact as your ears pinned downward and a slight frown made its way to your face, “Uh yeah, she uh died before she could teach more.” Tears stung as you blinked them away.

“I am sorry for your loss Ma’Y/N,

“Thank you and thank you for teaching me.” She gave you a small smile, which you returned. Her eyes quickly shifted to Tsu'tey then back to you.

He leaned in close, hovering above your right shoulder, "Not bad vrrtep."

You rolled your eyes, "Oh well I'm sure a child could do better."

Tsu'tey winced internally. Great. At a loss for words, you filled in the silence. "Thank you again Ma’Ninat. Since I am done with archery and weaving, I will be disconnecting. Norm needs help again."

Tsu'tey infamous scowl was on display, "No."

You let out a sigh, "And why not?"

"Because your training is not done."

Your eyes might as whole stay rolling at this point, "Training? This is the first time we've ever trained; I'm sure going back won't affect the non-existent progress we've made." Ninat slowly left the room, not wanting to disturb this quarrel or worse, somehow get dragged into it.

Tsu'tey growled, "Watch your tone.”

Your eyes narrowed, "No. I am leaving. Goodbye."

Tsu'tey gripped your arm. The pressure was a little too hard to ignore as it had surprised you, "Ah!"

He quickly let go. "I-I…." He faltered, while you were training to be a warrior you were still a zeykoyu (healer), a good one from Jake's story. High ranking, and he hurt you.

You growled barring your teeth, "Don't touch me." You held your arm as you left to return to your human body. Tsu'tey stood there, dumbstruck at his actions. His heart raced and his body felt hot from the disgraceful act he just committed. To use force against any healer was frowned upon, clan or not; and you were here, trying to be a part of the clan, be a part of the people. His stomach churned, he finally left the spot he stood at, shame casting its heavy weight on him.

VOTE SOCIALIST CALIFORNIA 2026

There are four (4) socialist candidates on the ballot for the 2026 California state election. These people are not Democratic Socialists who will bend and make concessions to the Democratic party like AOC, Bernie, or Zohran Mamduni. They are true Marxist socialists running under Peace & Freedom, California's historical socialist party.

Californians, if you want:

living wages and taxation on the rich, vote Ramsey Robinson for governer

affordable housing and your tax dollars divested from Israel, vote Meghann Adams for state controller

free college and childcare, vote Frank Lara for state superintendent

free healthcare, vote Lalo Vargas for insurance commissioner

The fruit of your labor should benefit you, not the ruling class.

As you thought to yourself, 'What in the actual fuck is going on.' Tsu'tey smiled smugly to himself and thought, 'Over my dead body.'

-

Pandora; the balance of life and death, the scales always tipping back to balance.

You've never been good in the social aspect of life, sure you can draw and write and love plants and animals, you were never the best at talking to people. Of course, not so socially inept that you ignore the "room" or be an outright asshole, it was more of the opposite nature to over thinking and quietness.

You had always seen the Avatars growing up constantly walking around, now you looked at your parents' avatar. Moving, twitching, but just looking as if they were asleep. Whilst your parents loved Pandora, you weren't allowed to meet the native Na'vi, they wanted to wait till you knew more and better understood your position on Pandora.

When your parents died, the woman with short red hair offered her condolences; she gave you a pat on your shoulder and her eyes filled with tears.

After the deaths, you noticed things; your favorite snacks were always stocked up, you would have new clothes every half a year, and you'd have language notebooks of the Na'vi language

When you started to work for Grace. You were merely 18, this was a favor between your parents and Grace. Of course, it helped that you grew up on Pandora, you're mom falling pregnant with you. Two scientists falling in love with the planet and passing that love to you.

Though, unfortunately, the love for the planets only still existed with you, when the shooting broke out in the campsite for the Na'vi children; there was no distinction between human or Navi. All that was told to you was that they tried to save a Na'vi child, a girl if you were remembering right, but got killed alongside her. The first day you were supposed to meet children close to you in age, you had not been there that day. Falling sick from secretly eating Pandora meat.

Grace was a stone cold bitch when you met her again. She is like that with everyone, but there were moments when she'd look at you and you her - and sometimes it felt like you were staring at your mom.

With the final exam for Na'vi, and you passed it with flying colors. When you showed Grace, she gave you a soft smile and a pat on the shoulder, “Not bad kid, not bad.”

To make yourself useful you studied a bit more into medicine. Lingering when the scientist and doctors talked. Grace saw this and pulled a few strings; it helped that the RDA wouldn't have to spend more to get you on Pandora, “homegrown” is what Parker liked to joke when he saw you. You braved a smile and a hollow laugh.

You had met Tsu'tey once before the ordeal happened. He called you an annoying demon. Your only saving grace was the 1 atokirina that passed between you two.

Grace had pulled you back behind her; you were only human after all the Avatar body not being there till the new recruits came. Tsu'tey growled low, hesitant and frustrated emotions were marred on his face when he saw Grace, and how she protected you.

He flicked his tail, ears low while the left one twitched, and scowl evident, “Leave.”

She rushed you back to the helicopter, "Never fuck with that guy, okay? He's the next leader and despises us. If it weren't the atokirina floating near you, you'd be done for." You nodded; your heart was caught in your throat. Leave it to you to want your brains to be fucked out by an alien, one that wanted you and your kind dead on top of that. A cherry on fucking top.

When Jake and Norm arrived, so did your avatar. Grace wanted a trial period, though your DNA and the hybrid mixture were on board she waited a year before letting the hybrid be created. She didn't want to waste the resources. You greeted Jake and Norm after Grace grilled Jake for not being his brother. You winced when it was mentioned that he was killed.

-

The three of you were close, albeit you were a tinge closer with Norm since he had more knowledge of life on Pandora. But Jake was willing to learn, with his strong accent and fumbling words. You would monitor his health, nag at Grace for smoking, and made sure Norm actually moved his body. You chastised them, “Your body here deserves care and attention too.” They went with your whims and nags, rolling their eyes but listening, nonetheless.

You were with Jake when the viperwolfs came and attacked him. You pulled him away before one of the little ones tried to bite his ankles. You got separated; they were smart enough to isolate the two of you. When one came towards your face you dodged it but one landed on your back scratching you right before it was shot and killed. One was killed mere inches from Jake's face. A woman came down swinging her bow, yelling at the pups and scaring them off. She went to one that attacked Jake and muttered her sacrifice ritual.

She turned and left. Jake looked at you, grabbed your hand, and ran after her…

He grabbed her shoulder, which was of course the wrong move. She wiped around, eyes wide and voice booming as she spoke, "Don't thank! You don’t thank for this! This is very sad, very sad." Frustration ran through Neytiri’s blood, her eyebrow bone furrowed and eyes pinned back.

"Okay,” Jake held his hand up in surrender, ear pinned down - tail swishing from nervousness, “I’m sor- I’m sorry for whatever I did wrong.”

She turned to you, and you felt your ears drop, “I’m sorry too, it was an accident to get lost and cause this.”

He inhaled, “Then why did you save me, us, then?" Genuine curiosity filled Jake, why kill a creature from their Goddess for a human, an outsider.

You too were curious, why not let the animals eat you. Neytir's ears dropped as she got closer to Jake, her voice soft now, “You have strong heart.  But stupid! Ignorant like a child! And you,” her attention turned to you, a piercing gaze that felt like your soul was bare to her, “you have a caring soul. But you follow this stupid one! Why!"

Jake shook his head, disbelief filling his body at the insults, “Thats i-.”

You hit Jake then grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back, "Stop it. She saved us and the cost was Eywa's other children. It is a waste to kill them." You turned to Neytiri, "Oeru txoa livu. We will not be foolish next time." As you said that Jake was surrounded by atokirina, as were you. You were careful not to harm them, but Jake was a different story. He whacked two of them. You hissed out a 'Jake' as Neytiri grabbed his arm.

As they left, Neytiri ordered you to follow her. Jake grinned a devilish grin and you had an uneasy feeling in your stomach.

–

"JakeSully, the warrior will be with my daughter Neytiri." She groaned as he heard this. "And Y/N, the healer, will be with Tsu'tey. The sign from Eywa will not be ignored."

"Wait, why don't I get Tsu'tey a warrior with a warrior?"

"Neytiri has more patience than Tsu'tey and Y/N is more proficient in our language and more knowledgeable." Jake looked at you, and you gave a weak smile.

“We have the first warrior dreamwalker and healer dreamwalker. Let us see if their cups are too full to learn,” Mo'at stared intently at the pair of you, you now understood where Neytiri got her piercing gaze. You wanted to shrink down and have the eyes off of you.

You gave a weak smile as you saw Jake still has opinions on the set up. His eyes latched distrustfully on Tsu'tey who had a scowl on his face and disgust in eyes.

"Get dressed, you shall eat with us." Neytiri gave both of you the clothes of the people. You and Jake were ushered to a different part of the tree to change, together. You side eyed Jake and he looked you up and down.

"Well come on Y/N, give me a show." You rolled your eyes, flipped him off, and turned away from him

"You first." You changed into the clothing when you felt a presence behind you. "Seriously Jake you can act with your dick another time, maybe after… ," the words were caught in your throat as you saw Tsu'tey when you turned around. Jake was still turned around, putting on his clothes.

"Maybe after what huh? Oh shit." Jake saw Tsu'tey in front of you. Tsu'tey hovered slightly above your Avatar form. Arms crossed and his scowl adorned on his face still.

"Vrrtep." Your eyes flattened at the insult. "Come." He turned and started to head to the clan to go eat with. You eyed Jake and his eyebrows furrowed. Neytiri came in as Tsu'tey left, greeting as they passed. Her gaze wondered up and down, you flatten the ears downward and slightly nod. She nodded back, and you followed behind Tsu'tey. He sat next to the Olo'Eyktan and Tsahik. You bowed your head, unsure if they wanted to speak with you. Eytukan narrowed his eyes and looked away from you while the Tsahik examined you. You tried not to clam up as the eyes shifted between you and Jake.

-

Hearing Jake not so subtly flirting with Neytiri, you looked towards your left and there was Tsu'tey, scowling already. But his eyes were on you, not Jake flirting with his mate to be or Neytiri allowing your partner to keep running his mouth. Your eyes found his, he looked you up and down, after he let out a sneer. You turned away quickly, feeling the hostility everywhere; engulfing every fiber of your being. Your voice was low and soft, "Jake."

He turned to face you, while Neytiri's and Tsu'tey's ears perked both shifting towards your voice. "Hmm?"

"I'm gonna go ahead and call it, let Grace know we're okay."

"Oh okay I'll go ahead and call it too." Both of you closed your eyes and severed the connection. Grace was looming over you two as the pods opened.

Jake spoke huffing out an incredulous laugh," Doc you're never gonna believe where I'm at."

-

Tsu'tey never talked much but that was okay neither did you. Just a huff here, a scowl there, every once in a while an insult. You just mostly observe. As he trained the younger generation, not letting you participate. He paid you no mind, as you try to do with him. You started to connect for less time since there wasn't much to learn.

You watched as Tsu'tey and the young warriors. The lesson of evading and attacking. You watched as the Tsu’tey circled around the younger Na’vi, you watched as his tailed twitch before he went for attack or how his eyes would skirt to the direction he would try to evade. Of course, Tsu’tey was there, blocking every attack getting him at the end of the evade. “You tell too much with your body. Too much movement. Do not give the enemy a chance to kill you.”

“Yes Tsu’tey, less movement, think it- do not show it.” The younger one nodded as Tsu’tey helped him up. You watched as Tsu’tey smiled as the warrior-in-training listed his mistakes and what to do better. It was a half grin, canines showing, his muscles glistening from the sweat. This was the fifth warrior he was training, and he had three more to go. You felt your face warm as Tsu’tey glanced at you.

Tsu’tey felt the gaze of the demon, he turned his head catching your intense staring. He scoffed, he was still upset at the Olo’Etykan for putting him with a demon, Neytiri should be dealing with both- she is the one who brought these false bodies to the clan. He stretched - and he may have flexed his muscles, but who is to say - his body aching from the constant lessons. From the corner of his eyes, he saw you turn your head, your face becoming darker and darker.
