I would write for Jake but I ship him and Neytiri way too hard! He loves his wife so much!!
No:
-NSFW, sorry but there will be no nsfw on my account! (I personally do not enjoy writing it)
But there's so many other amazing NSFW writers in this fandom! Go give them love!!
- Human reader x Na'vi, I just don't think it interests me
- I will only write suggestive themes for characters who are adults or aged up.
-Super duper long concept's that couldn't be done in less than 10k words
I got employed and my house had a gas leak. Is this the ao3 fanfic update you guys were waiting for πππ honestly I've been itching to write again. I think I will. You will see more of me soon
Finally turned 20 today! I think I'm going to do myself a favor and do some Teylan requests, I haven't had the time or honestly motivation to write but I'm gonna dive in (it still might take a while to come out) thank you everyone for them :3!!
would you guys read a fic of Se'li (my oc) x So'lek in third person? I started writing second person literally only a few months ago for reader x blank, and i fear I'm still not used to it..
but I'm so excited for this fic, she will be somewhat of a motherly figure towards the young Sarentu as she is an older one! And the angst and tension that is about to happen between her and our dog tag warrior....... I'm cooking
drawn by me :)!! I drew her in her usual outfit, along with a garment she made for So'lek, upcoming in the new fic i'm writing!! I hope you guys don't mind me sneaking this OC now. But I will absolutely continue asks!
Se'il is 34 in 2169, during the events of the AFOP game. She was born in 2135 and was 3 years old when her clan was killed- just one year older than Tamtey. She does not get taken by TAP. I will put more of her lore in the upcoming fic!
Some notes about her:
- Pronounced "Seh-eel"
- She does not replace Tamtey's existance in the fics I will write, but she will be So'lek's love interest
- She becomes somewhat of an aunt character to the Sarentu, like how So'lek is to most of the family.
- She is an artist, a skilled mural painter and clothing maker
- She loves her Ikran Tsayu and she is quite a skilled rider, like her ancestors were!
- Although she does not ordinarily use human weapons, she is adept with a bow and will fight for her new family.
guys the part 1 of long fic is coming (and it is so'lek x reader) HOWEVER.
I will continue to do Teylan fics and since the people ask for him so much I'm honestly considering doing a whole teylan becomes your mate and becomes a father longer fic. who knows! but It may take a while because life is punching me in the gut
Lord the way you wrote that Teylan ficβ¦passed out twice reading it youβre amazing.
If possible Iβd like to request another gn! Navi Reader x Teylan, similar to the last in the sense that Teylan is secretly mated, but whatβs insane is that when Teylan introduces you to everyone, you have a BABY. Not like pregnant, no like a whole ass infant. Ofc Teylan is bombarded with questions, and the answer is simply-no one taught him about mating at TAP or the resistance. He had no idea what he was doing, and now he has a baby. But god heβs so fatherly in a soft way- a perfect anxious dad. And now everyone is reeling with the fact that TEYLAN has a KID.
I intended that the baby is bio from reader and Teylan, but it would be really nice if they/them is used for reader!
Your writing is heavenly
Fatherly Love - ONESHOT
words: 1.5k
notes: Gn! Navi Reader x Teylan, Fluff!!!
summary: Unbeknownst to Teylan, having a Mate usually meant children. He introduces you, his secret mate and your surprise child to the Sarentu, showing his fatherly side.
listening to so many father songs while writing this LOL! I hope you enjoy, I think he'd be a great papa :") explores his friendship/mentorship thing with So'lek ever so slightly too because I see them interacting in To the Ashes!!!
and honestly, this was not proof read very well and I wrote this before bed, so i am so sorry if theres errors here and there. But Happy reading! I hope you enjoy!!!
It had only been a year and a half, but a child, his child. You first told him as soon as you figured it out yourself. His eyes shot open wider than you'd ever seen, his whole body tense as a tree. He figured out why- or, how, pretty quickly. You had never even considered that he wouldn't know.
At first, he was terrified.
"I don't know what to do! I- What if I mess up? What if- What if I hurt the baby?"
He'd pace back and forth rambling away his worries to you for hours for the first few days. You reassured him through it all, you always did. You sat on a hammock, watching him pace with a small smile. This wasn't the worst reaction- far from it. It was going to be okay because you love him, like nothing else. But now you'll have something- someone, else to love just as much-- more, together.
You pondered how he'd be as a father- how you'd be as a parent. You weren't sure if you ever gave being a parent much thought- but now you felt nothing other than joy, joy that you were going to experience this with your mate. You knew the anxiousness was coming from a place of care- and that's what reassured you.
He kept pacing, and you had had enough.
"Teylan." You grabbed his wrist, anchoring him in place. His tail swished, his ears pinned back to his head. "its going to be okay, Ma' Yawne."
Teylan inclined his head, letting out a sigh, before taking you into a hug. His arms wrapped around you carefully, almost like he was afraid to hurt you in this state. You squeezed him harder in response, garnering a small 'oof' sound. He whispered into your shoulder, his forehead resting on it.
"I didn't know... I didn't know this would happen. But I'm going to do my best."
his tail curled around your leg. You rubbed his back and held each other for a while.
When she was born, Teylan helped create her songcord. He was so nervous, his hands shook, taking ahold of the thread. He got the hang of it quickly, he was good with his hands, but the nerves- those never truly went away. He sang her song with you, both of you staring at your baby with utter contentment in your hearts, snuggled together in a hammock with your new beautiful family.
He took his hand in yours as you walked towards the new resistance camp. You held your daughter securely in your other arm, both of you sneaking glances at her as much as you could. Teylan wanted to introduce you, his new family, to his Sarentu family.
"WHAT?" was the first exclamation from Tamtey-- Teylan winced, looking to his young one, luckily still asleep.
"You- You--- Is that your-- What?" Tamtey blinked, as the rest of the Sarentu family came over, alongside quite a few resistance humans-- curious of the ruckus happening.
Almost in unison, everyone's eyes widened at the sight of you and your child. It was somewhat unsettling, to you mainly- but Teylan just looked- stunned, in a happy way. He reassured you by inching closer to you, a hand coming up to your side.
Rasi was the first to speak again- "The mark of the Sarentu, she must be yours then, Teylan." she was surprised, but not so animatedly like his younger clan members. She cooed at your child, and you couldn't help but smile.
Ri'nela and Tamtey practically fell over each other with their words, looking at each other for guidance, but mainly their eyes couldn't stray from you, Teylan, and your child.
"You have had a-- a Mate this whole time? How long have you been mated?!"
"And you had a child together? Without telling us?! Teylan?!"
You couldn't help but chuckle, and Teylan awkwardly smiled. But he took your daughter in his arms, with much more confidence than he had a few days earlier-- and he stared down at her.
"Yes... I.. Uh.. I didn't know that-- well- You know! I just didn't know. And I never thought to ask, so.. Here she is! And y/n, my mate... They're so amazing-- I'm sorry I never introduced you-- but so many things just kept coming up!" Teylan explained, in his typical Teylan way.
They kind of just stared at him for a while longer, and you. But Ri'nela and Tamtey finally came over. The two of them held out their hands, whispering a gentle 'i see you', before looking down at your child. You couldn't help but stare too. She sported that Sarentu mark so well, for her little chubby cheeks.
"She is.. She is so cute." Tamtey whispered, pressing a hand to their cheek.
"I cant believe it. A new Sarentu, a baby." Ri'nela sighed out, expelling her worries. "Rasi, we will have to remember Sarentu traditions for this little one, and perhaps create new ones."
Your child awoke naturally, her eyes fluttering open quite timidly. Tamtey smiled wider, wiggling their finger towards the baby.
"...So'lek's on patrol... He's going to freak!" they giggled in realisation, and your daughter smiled. You did too.
The others gave you time alone, but you spent quite a bit of time with the family. They were simply content with being around you and your child, watching with smiles. Mainly Ri'nela stayed around, as the others were in and out.
Teylan held your daughter, holding her head the exact right way, with a huge loving grin on his face. He'd watch her tiny expressions for what felt like hours, he never got bored. She was infinitely more exciting than anything he'd experimented with tech- any firewall he'd have to crack through- he helped create her. It was an accident- but the happiest accident he had ever experienced.
Ri'nela and Rasi helped create clear out a space for the two of you to have privacy. You were sat in a pile of pillows, half asleep. Teylan had mentioned he'd be right back. You were admittedly, exhausted. Your daughter was the cutest thing you had ever seen, yes, but she was also an infant. One that needed to be fed every 2 hours or so- one that cried, a lot.
Before you could fall asleep completely, Ri'nela came up to you and grabbed you by the hand, helping you up with a smile.
"Come, we have made you something." you were curious, but you didn't expect anything of what came next.
Down through the cave systems intertwined with resistance tech, was a room tucked away. You entered and couldn't believe your eyes. Teylan was helping set up too, and Rasi stood by the door with a smile.
In the room was a large pile of pillows, a large hammock that could be shared and a much smaller one right next to it- for your child if needed. There was even a woven bag with quite a few important supplies, snacks for yourself to keep your energy up, cups and a large gourd filled with water. Colourful weavings covered the walls and there were paintings too.
Teylan turned around with a smile, and your eyes pricked with tears. It wasn't just him- he was amazing, it's true. But to be welcomed by this new family, wholly. It made you feel so loved. Teylan took your daughter so Ri'nela and Rasi could embrace you in a hug.
Tamtey timed when So'lek returned, endlessly excited to see his reaction. Honestly, you weren't bothered or unbothered by the supposed prank, if all you, your mate and your child had to do was sit comfortably near the entrance like you already had been doing- you didn't mind.
So'lek entered. He originally planned to just keep walking towards his little corner where he kept supplies, but upon seeing Tamtey's face holding back a huge grin, he squinted his eyes. He looked behind them, searching for something, and then turned your way.
Teylan and you were sat together, he held your daughter and you kept an arm against his as he did so. It was quite an obvious scene.
So'lek's eyes widened. You hadn't known that much about him personally but you had heard enough stories to know he was pretty stoic most of the time. Teylan had a bond with him, they took care of each other. "Teylan-- Is that, Eywa... What?" his brow shot upwards, his mouth opening with a shocked half smile.
Tamtey burst out in laughter, unable to contain it. So'lek barely even registered them, and the two of them came over. Teylan explained everything, and introduced you, in a similar fashion to how he had before. So'lek still had that shocked expression pretty much throughout the entire retelling, though his mouth was now closed.
He broke the silence with a small amused huff, looking down at your child. "She has the Sarentu mark." there was a softness in his eyes, his mouth tugged into the smallest of smirks.
"I must say- I never expected the first born of the new Sarentu generation to be from you-- But you will be a great father. I know you will." He placed his hand on Teylan's shoulder, patting him.
You knew then, more than anything else, that this child would grow up so loved. And that you would be well loved in this new family too.
Notes while playing From The Ashes DLC! (SPOILERS AHEAD)
You already KNOW I'm diving in to 10000 So'lek fics with this one (and Teylan too, he's grown so much as a character!!!!)
-Teylan's VA fully saying that Tamtey and So'lek are flirting with eachother canonically. Im dead
-So'lek being so protective of Tamtey, their playing and flirting (it really is sunshine x grumpy)
-Tamtey goes "I guess I should give this back," and So'lek responds singsongy, "You can keep it~" IM DEAD
-So'lek paints on rocks outside his home in the mountains
-So'lek LOVES Iley, his ikran. it's insane. he's so soft under all that armo
-When Tamtey gets captured he keeps part of her songcord wrapped around his bicep :(((((
-Tamtey's ikran stays with so'lek while Tamtey is gone, real quote "I know you miss Tamtey. Me too." RAHHH
-Teylan coming out of his shell and fully embracing being Na'vi!!!!! MY BOY
- So'lek being unsure about Teylan but fully embracing him and reassuring him when he does come out of his shell :"")
- the trr'ong being known for spreading love and light hello...
-It's clear that So'lek has spent a lot of time alone, but he doesn't have to now. he has his Sarentu family
-direct quote from end of game; "I will not lose anyone else!" -Solek

this is more of a rant, and Im sorry to any Nor lovers out there, I can't stand the guy. Can I understand WHY he did what he did? Yeah I guess. Do I think the Sarentu should have taken him in after? NOT REALLY. bro just killed a bunch of their human friends that had NOTHING to do with his clan being killed. It's giving Neytiri if Jake didn't calm her down. And the way he disrespects the Tsahik and Rasi :( are we fr.

Iβd like to request a Teylan x Gn! Navi reader if possible, where Teylan introduces you to everyone else at the base for the first time and theyβre just like βwait Teylan gets bitches??? πβ and are even more surprised at how smitten they are for each other
You're Teylan's Mate To Be? - ONESHOT
words: 1.4k
notes: Gn!Na'vi reader, fluff and more fluff!! generally more 'chill' and 'confident' reader, (does not replace Tamtey)
summary: Teylan, your future mate, introduces you to everyone at the base and things don't go the way you suspected!
thank you so much for the request!! I hope its to your liking it was so fun writing for him :"D he's so cute
You and Teylan met at the Great Na'vi Games that the Zeswa held. It was there that you saw the curious young na'vi interacting with Kin. It amused you endlessly to see how he interacted with the others at the camp, how he interacted with Zakru. You even heard that it was here that he rode a pa'li for the first time. He was charming, seeing Pandora's wonders for the first time so purely.
You met around the fire one night. He was sitting on a log, holding some sort of sky people 'technology' as they called it. Interested, you sat down next to him, holding some meat skewers from the hunt you had partaken in earlier in the day. He awkwardly fidgeted with something on his strange vest- must have been some sky person attire.
"You must be Sarentu." you said to him with a smile, offering him a skewer.
"Oh! Um- yes! I am! Wow, did this come from the hunt earlier? Thank you!" He gratefully accepted the skewer and started eating with you.
You both ate in silence for a while, comfortably. He looked like like he wanted to tell you something, so you scooted closer and looked over his shoulder. "What is this... gadget you have? Why do you use it?"
"Oh!" Teylan blinked, stunned. You had grown to realize that that was not common- but he swallowed with a grin "You're interested in what's on my tablet?"
"Yes, I suppose I am." something about this strange Sarentu made your mouth curve into a smile.
"Well- actually- right now I'm looking at the data of the comms of the RDA, so we can track them! And make sure they don't come back again-" Teylan went on and on. You barely followed while he spoke his sky people words, but you listened anyway. It was nice to listen, and you found it cute how invested he was in this, 'tablet' he called it.
β¬βββββββββββββββββββββ§ββββββββββββββββββββββ¬
The two of you grew closer through the games and even closer through the months you were apart. Since the games had ended, Teylan had given you comms and a holotablet to communicate. Teylan was worried that you wouldn't like to speak to him anymore, that you'd forget about him, or that you wouldn't like using sky people technology to talk to him. But you didn't feel any of those things.
For the first month or so you two spent hours each day speaking to each other. Now, you had learned to enjoy the 'silence' with one another. You felt calm in each others presence, but you didn't lose the spark. You learned new things about one another every day, you both talked of your pasts, and you accepted each other wholly.
The others had noticed Teylan being off on his own more, and they were somewhat worried about him at first- but soon enough they had realized, he seemed genuinely happier. Tamtey in particular was so intrigued by Teylan's strange happy moods, poking at him lovingly to tell them what was going on. It wasn't like he was usually sad- he was happy with the Sarentu family they had built, but he seemed so different, in a good way.
"What has you smiling Teylan?"
"Oh- Just some data!" he'd lie. It worked though.
So'lek found him out on his one day, outside the base and speaking on a private comms line. He didn't overhear anything really- but he saw the look on Teylan's face, how content he seemed, and understood what must have been going on.
β¬βββββββββββββββββββββ§ββββββββββββββββββββββ¬
The Sarentu family, minus Teylan-- had naturally gathered to talk in the cave of their clouded forest base. Just as Ri'nela was about to ask where Teylan had gone, the group turned to see him, and you, walking from the cave entrance.
None of the other Sarentu had ever met you before- not to mention anyone at the resistence. Tamtey squinted at you with a hand to their chin, perhaps they had seen you before and were trying to figure you out.
Upon seeing their reactions, you turned to Teylan giving him a teasing smile, and whispered "You didn't tell them yet, did you?"
"Well- I- uh.. I wanted to tell them today! But then you said you were arriving early and-"
"Don't worry about it Ma' Teylan." You whispered back, a hand gently pressing against his elbow, guiding him towards the others. Teylan's cheeks burned bright purple. You met the Sarentu, the family Teylan gushed about so often. They looked confused, all but So'lek, who sported a small smile of recognition.
Ri'nela smiled gently, "Welcome back Teylan, and who might this be?" she took her hand to her forehead in gesturing to the arrival of both Na'vi, her brother and this new friend. You did the same.
"I forgot to tell any of you- uh.. I was going to say it today- but this is y/n! I am courting them!" Teylan kept clarifying, saying "well, we are courting each other-" but it felt like time stopped.
Both Tamtey and Ri'nela's mouths dropped, their eyes blinking. Even Priya had heard it and practically fallen over from the shock.
So'lek was the first to speak, replying straightforwardly, "It is nice to meet you, I am glad for you Teylan, truly." He clapped him on the back, and you couldn't help but chuckle.
Ri'nela and Tamtey's mouths kept open, as other members of the resistance who had heard the news came over to say congratulations.
"You're Teylan's mate to be?" Tamtey's mouth somehow opened wider, and you felt a flush over your cheeks. It felt so strange to hear it come from another person.
"Yes.. I am." You took a hand around Teylan's waist and he placed his hand on yours, slightly shy, but plain in his affection. Without missing a beat, you turned your head and pressed a kiss onto his cheek. Teylan let out a small 'eek' and smiled widely. "Hey!"
Tamtey was still blinking it disbelief, and Ri'nelas eyes winded slightly too. She could never have guessed this--you-- were what was putting Teylan in such a good mood in the past months. She shook it off with a smile "I am glad for you too, Teylan."
You had resolved to stay for a while with Teylan. You had flown quite a long way by your Ikran anyway, and it would take at least a day or two for them to recuperate. Teylan opted to show you around, always lingering near you as he showed you all his interesting tech.
He surprised you when you were bent over looking at some sort of table with 'holo-images', his tail wrapped around your leg and he bent over with you, his face close to yours. It sent a small shiver through your body. He whispered to you,
"Um- Can I- Can I kiss you?" He looked nervous but resolved, to show his affection for the person he had spent so long with over comms. He always wondered what it would truly be like to hug you, kiss you, to be with you.
You flushed, surprised by his initiative, but nodded, "of course." the two of you shared a gentle kiss, your hand reaching up to cup his face. You heard him let out a small joyful giggle as you did so, and you felt your tail lash in excitement. "So cute." you smiled, as you pulled away.
Upon looking up, you realized half the resistance was staring at the two of you. You felt yourself sweat, blinking up at the many eyes that quickly turned away. Teylan didn't seem to notice, so you took that as a sign to keep touring the base with him, and listening to his passionate ramblings.
β¬βββββββββββββββββββββ§ββββββββββββββββββββββ¬
You were laid against a few pillows with Teylan in your arms. You were explaining something cool you saw outside in the clouded forest, a place you had never visited prior. Teylan nodded along, he decided to take off his hat because it was uncomfortable against your bare skin. You hadn't even needed to ask- he just noticed it.
Teylan couldn't be more comfortable, something that wasn't always easy for him within the resistance. Having his head pressed to your chest, hearing your heartbeat, it calmed his soul completely. He wrapped his arms around your waist as he cuddled into you more.
You were almost falling asleep. Teylan was completely asleep by now, with you softly petting Teylan's hair he didn't stand a chance. Hearing his worries, his doubts about his life and identity over comms, It pleased you more than anything seeing him so calm. Your eyes were half lidded when you overheard Ri'nela speaking to Tamtey, they were quiet- but not enough.
"I can't believe Teylan managed to get such a Na'vi to fall for him!" you heard Tamtey say quietly, their tone joking. You almost got upset, but you couldn't help but let out an amused huff.
"I was skeptical at first, a new Na'vi we had never met before, and Teylan just announcing they were mates! But seeing the two of them so-- in love, I don't feel worried at all. They will take good care of him." Ri'nela said, you could hear the smile in her voice in the last part of her sentence.
"And Teylan will take good care of them." Another voice, So'lek's. You couldn't help but smile as you drifted off, maybe these strange Sarentus weren't so bad after all.Β

Thank you for reading as always!! comments or reblogs are always appreciated :3!
im going to be posting fics (slowly but surely) I will also gladly take requests :3!! Thinking of doing another so'lek and maybe a neteyam one but im open to whoever!!
notes: fem! sarentu/Tamtey reader, mainly angst and some fluff!
tw: mentions of wounds, blood and killing of enemy soldiers (not in detail)
summary: You are a strong warrior like So'lek, but the horrors the RDA have committed are getting to you, you make a mistake on a mission and So'lek rescues you.
slightly inspired by the 'i thought I lost them' from jake in way of water because that is just a great scene. first ever fic woo!!
β¬βββββββββββββββββββββ§ββββββββββββββββββββββ¬
The moment you stepped out of the grasp of TAP, you became the Sarentu's warrior champion. At first, like any young hunter, you made missteps. But you quickly grew into a fierce flyer alongside your ikran, taking down RDA facilities alone, helping the other clans and building the resistance.
Sol'ek's eyes followed your figure as you mounted your bonded, set out for a night time attack. You had been working tirelessly against the RDA ever since you had the capabilities to. But lately, it had grown too much. You had lost the light in your eyes. Hate was taking over your heart. He had seen it, day in and day out you fought, and you'd come back exhausted and sometimes scratched up to prove it.
Tonight was like any other night. It was raining, the skies gloomy and foggy. You crouched outside a larger RDA base, one that had to be taken with precision and stealth. Your bones ached, muscles tightened as you made your way towards the daunting grey walls. You whispered, Pressing the comms on your neck "Priya, give me the intel on this base."
"You'll have to take out the two smaller drills and then destroy the control room's terminals- be careful!"
"As always." You breathed out, as you quickly scaled the lifeless walls. You dropped into the base silently, laser focused. You slinked your way towards the first drill through the shadows, ducking behind cover. Your arrows whistled through the wind and caught RDA soldiers, avoiding the amp suits. You noticed a drop off area, a drill was just below you.
Thinking it was clear, not hearing otherwise, you dropped down. Mid air, you heard the mechanical drill of an amp suit behind you and- WHAM!- It punched your arm, the force sending you flying forward onto your hands and knees. A lightning bolt of pain flashed through your left shoulder, entire arm and side. You felt pressure in your arm in places you were sure wasn't normal.
Hearing loud unnatural footsteps coming your way, you turned onto your back, narrowly avoiding another punch. "You're not getting away this time blue!" the soldiers' distorted voice rang in your ears. You quickly hopped up to your feet, grabbing your knife and stabbed into the amp suit's driver. The movement caused you to cry out in pain.
Hearing distant yelling getting closer was drowned out by a blaring siren, the lights around you suddenly flashing red. You felt your heart drop and your breath grow desperate. Your arm was unusable, you dared not to look, but you knew it was bad.
Grabbing your knife out from the soldier, you scampered into the shadows and towards the outer wall again. You managed to make it, but you felt your legs starting to give out from exhaustion. The adrenaline wasn't helping you anymore- the pain was shooting through your back and arm like fire and it didn't stop. You fell down onto your good side behind a set of stairs, out of line of sight of amps and regular soldiers.
Tears streaming down your cheeks and your chest heaving erratically, you weakly pressed on your comms in a final desperate attempt. "I'm down- at the facility.. I can't- I can't-" Your vision was blurring, and your breathing slowed. You blinked, then everything went dark.
β¬βββββββββββββββββββββ§ββββββββββββββββββββββ¬
So'lek was at the resistance in Kinglor forest when he got your comms. "No-no.." he could barely whisper, his heart sunk. Without thinking he readied his bow and rifle immediately. Priya ran over to ask him to go- but he was already practically running out to Iley.
The warrior tried and failed to keep his breathing in check as he flew through the forest towards your location. So'lek felt like he was flying for hours to get to you, but it must have been less than one. His mind started racing to all the possibilities-- you could be captured, injured-- His whole body felt tense, he remembered his clan, he remembered the aftermath of the battle of Ayram Alusing. "I can't lose more- I can't lose you." he whispered through gritted teeth.
He finally landed outside the base within the forest, making his way up a tree to get a better vantage point. From the corner of his eye he saw your ikran looking stressed, flapping her wings and crying out. He took a ragged breath in, his eyes flicking back towards the sky people's base. It was so wrong to see her without you, the two of you protecting each other. He closed his eyes and steadied his heart, he thought of you, the light in your eyes, your smile, he needed to see it again.
With his face as cold as stone, his heart filled with purpose and his weapons prepared, he headed towards the base.
β¬βββββββββββββββββββββ§ββββββββββββββββββββββ¬
"Ma' Tamtey, Tamtey!" So'lek cried, his voice desperate and hoarse.
You grimaced and your eyes slowly opened, blinking away the shock of light. There was a strong ringing in your ears- his voice barely came through it. You had no idea what was going on, where you were. So'lek held you, his arms tight around your body. His wild eyes softened as you awakened. "Ah-" he gasped. You tried to move closer to him, but you yelped in pain, your vision faltered.
Finally you realized what was happening. Your ears picked up the sounds of sirens, and your eyes red flashing lights once more. So'lek carefully lifted you in his arms. You realized that he had blood splattered on him.
In worry you whispered out, "Are you okay?"
He couldn't help but let out the tiniest of chuckles at that, pressing his hand to his forehead and shaking his head. "I should be asking that to you." His smile dropped quickly. You couldn't blame him, the situation- everything- it was too much. Your heart still hurt.
But he kept glancing down at you, his pale yellow eyes much softer than when you first saw him. He was still worried, but that first look--he looked so different, so hardened yet so scared. You had never seen him like that. He lifted you onto Iley and you yelped, the wind rushing from your lungs.
"--It's bad, isn't it?" you gasped, leaning towards your arm, which you still didn't have the courage to look at.
"We will be okay." was all he said. His eyes told it all, you could get through this together. You were both strong.
As you rode back to base, you were at least able to find some comfort in the skies, feeling the wind on your skin, in So'lek's embrace. You sat in front of him and leaned your head against his chest, trying your best to breath deeply and steadily.
It was a quiet ride home, you were just trying to fight through the pain, and So'lek didn't bother you with conversation. You'd grimace every so often and he'd flinch, no doubt fearing the pain you were in.

You were on a medical cot when you finally looked down at your arm. So'lek was there with you. In fact, he never left your side since he saved you from the base.
Your mouth fell open as you stared down at your arm. From your right side, So'lek placed a hand on yours. As Hajir came over with medicine you tilted your head back away, towards So'lek again. "It- It looks-" You took a shaky breath inward. You were a warrior, it's true- you had killed plenty of RDA. But something about seeing your arm mangled like that brought you back to reality. Tears welled up in your eyes again, and you went to brush them away.
So'lek did so before you could, blinking. "I know, Tamtey." he gave you that signature half lipped smile he always did. It made you feel a bit better. "I-.. I know you do not want to hear it." he stopped, reading your expression, his hand still caressing your cheek.
You nodded, giving permission and sniffling slightly. Whatever it was, it was probably true.
"You have been doing too much. You cannot just go off without rest all the time. You got injured today, but you could have gotten killed- you are being reckless-" He started rambling, his voice filling with emotion. It sounded, angry. Hurt.
"So'lek please-" you frowned, your eyes welling up from a different pain now. It hurt. It hurt to hear your favourite voice saying these words, stinging against your soul.
He swallowed shakily, "I'm sorry. I... I thought I lost you."
Those words broke your heart. "Oh, So'lek." You reached out to him, placing your hand on his chest, he instincively leaned towards you, bringing his hand to hold your wrist, holding on for life. You knew what this meant. You knew his background, you understood now more than ever why he was acting this way.
"When I found you, you- you were covered in blood and barely breathing. I heard your voice in the comms ringing in my ears.. And your arm-- You don't know how relieved I was when you awoke." his voice was a whisper, but so full of emotion, you heard the pain of the past and present in it.
"Ma' So'lek. I'm here. You have such a strong heart," You pulled him into a hug with your good arm, and he eagerly accepted, being careful not to touch your bad side. You laughed breathily, in a relieved sort of half crying way, and he did too.
He pulled away to look at you, "I see you, Tamtey"
"I see you, So'lek."
