What if similar to kexska to tsxi'aa varang'itan, but instead of sending him to Ashland, they simply dropped him off in the Metkayina territory where our special boy is found by some random Metkayina clan’s member.
perhaps they were taking him to the Western Frontier. crossing over the islands of Awa'atlu. and somehow. someway. for whatever reasons. he gets left on the islands instead of making it to the budding HQ. to Alma, who would have mothered him in place of children she left buried. and Priya, who would have adored a tiny little baby to treat like a baby brother and spoil mindlessly. and for Alex to, gently, study (they would have been lab partners, in their own way). and for the resistance to just. love. it was asier because the damage his father caused was less personal.
but he doesn't make it there. he is left in the islands.
maybe a storm downed the aircraft transporting him. and by a miracle. he washed up on the beaches of the Metkayina. maybe those transporting him bore more anger and grief then they could keep reined in, and they abandoned him. it doesn't matter.
because one day, the village awakes. and there is a crying they cannot place as coming from one of their own. it's too quiet. too young. all thier children are accounted for.
but eventually, a tiny little boy, just about toddling age, is found hiding in some rocks, on the far side of the village. he's cold and alone. his curls matted with salt, wide amber eyes red with tears. his little pink lip puckered.
he's curled up tight, trying to keep warm.
and he's a pink skin. which initally shocks the scouts that find him. they back up with a his, weapons drawing an inch. but... he's so, so small. and no one can actually point a weapon at him. he's barely a pup, let alone a demon.
and he is... striped. he has a short forest tail. not quite yet thin and long as a whip, but currently plump with baby fat and tipped with the softest fur. curled around his chunky with baby fat hip. his three fingered hands fiddle with it anxiously, bringing it to his lip to self-soothe. there's a kuru, wrapped in golden braided strands. and in the shade of his hiding place, his tanhi sparkle.
what a remarkable thing. and when strong, spear weathered hands lift him up, he chirps, no fear of the stranger's size. and he nuzzles close. happy to press his cheek to their warm chest. no one can deny that he's cute. and tiny. fitting in one of their hands.
and when he's brought to Ronal and Tonowari, he just looks up at them with those same shiny, massive, amber brown eyes. and his little curls have flopped into then. and he gives a little clumsy wave, and chirps. his tail flickering as he tries to discern what's happening in his child mind.
and they can't send him away. they have plenty of questions, of course. and they'll likely send scouts out to the human establishments. the baby's origin will surely be found out much sooner. Jake better pray the aircraft crash-landed.
but that little one catches a pregnant Ronal's eye. she is already feeling so maternal, pregnant with her first. and the baby, when she takes him to inspect him, both for injuries, and to see Eywa's will for him, he plays with the beads of her top, teething gently. and moves to touch her tattoos, curious. and she just... she wants him. ok? she wants him.
she may become his son, or just a beloved child of her village. she's a busy woman after all, and has to consider her unborn child.
but she will make sure he is much loved and much tended for. he is Eywa's child after all. she does not know if he was given the first communion ceremony he deserved, for his age, so one of the first thing's done when he is offically accepted, is to be brought to the spirit tree, and allowed to see his Mother.
Today had been a good day to be out on the reef for hunting, and Portal Lo'ak had gone out on the reef and had been joined by Kasee and Nuain. The boys had wished to do more hunting and fishing in new waters, and once the opportunity arose, they agreed to come along with their uncle and spend some time away from the village. This had also allowed loak to have more time with his nephews, teach them more hunting and fishing skills he had yet to teach, and see how well their skills had improved from the last time he had gone fishing with them.
Lo'ak: " This will be a good idea for fishing today, boys."
Kasee " Yes, uncle."
Nuain " Thank you for allowing us to come with you, uncle."
Lo'ak " It was nothing, boys, and seeing how your sister is spending time with your mother at the healer hut today, I thought it would be great to have you boys come along with me."
Nuain " Ay'rea had been talking with us last night on how excited she had been about learning from her great-grandmother."
Lo'ak " Yes, your sister has the talent to be a perfect tshaik and healer one day, as she is your mother's child, even the great mother knows about that."
Kasee " She will be a good tshaik one day and healer, seeing how much she has been taking care of us alongside of mom."
Lo'ak " Yes, and you boys are good hunters and fishers, always making sure to bring enough food for the family and others as well. I have been seeing you boys have been practicing your warrior fighting skills as well." The trio had been interrupted when the sound of navi calls had been heard, alongside the classes of Skrimwings.
Nuian " There are seven of them coming, uncle, and it seems like they are not that far from us and about to land as well, from the sound of their calls." It didn't take that long until a group had landed in the water, led by Jake, as the trio had looked to see who else was with Jake. The others with Jake had been neteyam, Spider, tsu'tey, along with tonowari and aonung. Rotxo.
Nuian " Uncle."
Lo'ak: " It will be okay."
Neteyam " Brother, we had been flying over when we saw you and the boys out here."
Lo'ak " Yes, I came out here for hunting and portal before I had left the home. I had asked the boys if they wished to come with me, and they agreed right away."
Jake " We had also come out to hunt and for portal to make sure there were no rda anywhere, but didn't expect to see you and my grandsons out here as well."
Neteyam, " Is ay'rea with you as well?"
Kasee " No, our dear sister is back at the village. She had gone to the healer hut with our mother, to see if they could help great grandmother mo'at and to see if Ay'rea could learn something as well."
Neteyam " Oh good. I'm happy to hear she is taking up the opportunity to learn."
Nuain " Yes, our sister had been very happy about taking the chance to learn from the well-respected Mo'at."
Jake " Good as I remember, Neytiri, Kiri, and Tuk had said they would be helping at the healer hut today as well. So they will be able to spend time with y/n and Ay'rea today as well. Tonowari didn't ronal and tsireya head off to the healer hut after we left as well."
Tonowari " Yes, my mate had mentioned how she was going to head towards the healer hut today, and invited tsireya to come help her, so they shall be there as well."
Lo'ak " Then it seems like the clan will have enough healers today to take care of anyone who gets hurt today."
Jake: " Seeing that we are all here, why don't we combine groups to hunt and portal together?"
Tsu'tey "Yes, it will be best if we stay as a big group to catch more food or if any trouble comes around as well."
Tonowari " I think that will be a good idea, Jake Sully."
Neteyam: "Brother Nuian and Kasee, what do you have to say?"
Lo'ak " Boys."
Nuian " We will be okay with that, Kasee."
Kasee "It's good to me."
Aonung " Good, and maybe we can see how lo'ak has been teaching you, boys, how to be a hunter."
Neteyam " Beside that, we also get to spend time with lo'ak, Nuian, and Kasee, and it will be good for me to spend time with my little brother again as it has been very long."
Lo'ak: "Yes, it has, brother."
Spider "It's like old times when we used to go on hunting trips in the forest, even though we didn't come back with enough to catch like the adults, but it was still a good hunt."
Lo'ak " Oh yes, the young hunting trips, and I had taken those trips with the boys as well before we had come here."
Kasee " Those trips had been good and helped us become hunters over the years."
Rotxo " Now we get to have those hunting trips again."
Jake " Well, we are in a perfect area for hunting, so why don't we see what we can find here?" The group had nodded and soon started scouting the area above and below water to see if there was anything to catch right now. There had also been time taken to be on the lookout for any RDA activity. As the group had taken a rest on some rocks, since there was not much to be found in the water right now, that would be beneficial to the clan.
Nuian " Brother, look there." Nuian had tapped Kasee's shoulder, gaining his brother's attention as Kasee looked in the same direction as his brother.
Kasee " Yes, I see that there is much activity over there, a big school of fish, as noticed all the other creatures are active there."
Nuian " Let's go."
Kasee " Right behind you, brother." The two boys had made their calls when their IIus arrived, as they had dove into the water.
Neteyam " Nuain Kasee."
Lo'ak: " They will be okay, brother, no need to worry, watch and wait." Kasee and Nuian had resurfaced in the water, with Kasee holding a net in his head. As the two boys exchanged looks, no words were spoken, and the pair took off underwater with their IIu once again.
Aonung " What they are doing."
Lo'ak " Hunting like they have been taught to aonung the ways of the hunter they learned and made into their own skills, see for yourselves if you don't believe me." The group had followed lo'ak as he dove underwater to watch as Kasee and Nuain hunted. The duo was amazing as they chased the fish in the water and rounded up the group they wanted, while Nuain chased them, leading them towards an area where Kasee had come by and quickly caught the group in his net. As the two brothers soon went towards the surface, the rest of the family followed them.
Nuian " Right on Nuian you got them."
Kasee " You had chased them down, bro, and I made the final move." The brothers gave high fives as they moved towards some rocks and brought the net onto the rocks to see the fish they had caught. The adults soon arrived on the rock, as the boys had opened the net.
Kasee " Look at the fish we had caught." It had been a good haul that the pair had caught in Kasee's net, and it was just the pair of them.
Tonowari " You boys had got a great haul there in just one net."
Jake: " You two also worked together to get these fish."
Nuian " We had realized if you wish for a good haul of food, it's best we work together."
Neteyam " That move you two used had been the move I and lo'ak had used when we went hunting together."
Lo'ak " I had to teach them something, and what better than skills I had used when I hunted for food."
Rotxo " Look at these sizes of fishes, some of them are large, others are medium, and some are small as well."
Kasee " We just don't wish to feed our families we wish to feed others as well and our IIu to."
Tsu'tey " The hunter must think about others when they are hunting."
Neteyam " After seeing what you boys have done today, and I know I have asked this beforehand. Will it be okay if I help you boys with your hunting training?"Nuain and Kasee had looked at each other and soon at neteyam.
Jake " Maybe that offer can be extended to the rest of us if you boys allow it."
Nuain " We will allow it."
Kasee "Yes, we would enjoy going on hunts with you all, and it shall be a good opportunity for us in the end. It is also our duty as hunters as well."
Loak " It seems like you have your answer, Neteyam." Loak had looked at his nephews, very proud of what they had done today and of proving themselves.
Neteyam " Yes, it has."
Jake " Why don't we get back to hunting and see what else we can bring back home, for the families to have late on today?" The group had nodded in agreement as they had done some more hunting together on the reef. It seems like the progress of a new life here on the reef has been going well for your family and relationships being rebuilt as well.
It was known among the navi that it was customary to give gifts to the one you were courting and to your future mate as well. A gift that will symbolize the relationship between a couple, as they loved each other truly and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. What is the best way to show your love for someone by giving them a very special gift?
Tsutey
Tsu'tey had been a good warrior and hunter, but he was also a good craftsman. So after hearing that his anniversary was coming up, with you for being mates for a year, thanks to Jake and Norm. Tsutey wishes to give you a special gift in honor of the love he has for you, and you have always been giving him gifts since you were young. He wished to make this gift very special, so after collecting colorful, beautiful stones and some string, he started making your necklace. Once it was ready, he gave it to you, and you loved the gift and wore it all the time.
It was common among the navi to give gifts during courting, and when one was an official mate, there were gifts your mates had given you that you held close to your heart and would wear most days as well.
Jake
Jake had made this gift for you. He wasn't the craftsman type, but he did have some arts-and-crafts in him. So when he found the perfect stone for you, he decided to make it into a gift for you after you had given him gifts before. He did his best and made you a crystal necklace, made some small strips of leather and string he had found, and other stones as well. When you were given it on your wedding anniversary and his, you loved it right away.
Neytiri
Neytiri had been working on your gifts for a while, wanting to make them very special because you are her mate. You had always given her gifts throughout the years of your relationship. When she saw that Jake had given you a necklace, she thought you could use a second one, as well, made by her. So she collected a crystal, along with beads and string, and soon made it into a necklace for you. When she had given it to you as a gift, to honor the year of you being her mate, you loved it very dearly.
Today, in the southern water tribe, it is a very sad day as many of the men of the village will be leaving you with your father to help in the war, and to join up with the earth kingdoms who have been helping to fight in the war. Everyone had been saying their farewells, as it will be a long time before they see each other again. The war had already taken enough from your tribe and family, but now it was taking even more from your family and other families as well.
Hakoda " Y/n."
Y/n " Father, I had come to say goodbye to you."
Hakoda " Oh y/n." Hakoda had held his arms open as you ran to hug him, trying your best not to cry or get so upset about your father having to leave once again.
Y/n " I'm going to miss you, Dad, very much."
Hakoda, " I'm going to miss you as well and your siblings so much."
Y/n " I understand why you and the man have to leave, but I'm still going to miss you and bath along with everyone else."
Hakoda, " I make me proud you understand y/n, and I know leaving you and your siblings will be hard for you and them. You kids will have gran gran and the rest of the tribe here for you kids. While I'm away fighting this war, when everything is over, I will see you and your siblings again. We will be apart for a very long time, but I need to ask you a favor."
Y/n " What favor?"
Hakoda," while I'm away, I need you to be head of the family, along with gran gran. Help her around the village and at home, and make sure she and your siblings are taken care of. They will need you there for them, along with many others. You are the eldest, my daughter, and I'm going to need you to be there for the family and the tribe."
Y/n " Me? Why me, Dad?"
Hakoda, " I know you can do a wonderful job, and I have seen you taking care of the family since we lost your mother, and helping around the village as well. You have proven yourself to me time and time again; the spirits have blessed your mother and me with such a wonderful daughter like you."
Y/n " ....."
Hakoda, " I know life hasn't been the same since we lost your mother and the raid, and I know leaving now will be hard for everyone. Know this, I do this for you and everyone else, so know needs to feel the same pain we have felt any longer."
Y/n " Yes, Dad."
Hakoda, " Please be there for your brother and sister, help them find their way. Help Sokka become a great warrior and leader, I know he can, along with Katara becoming a great bender. Don't forget about yourself; become a great bender as well."
Y/n " Yes, Dad."
Hakoda " Good, I know you and your siblings will grow up while im away and become your own people. Spirits know how all my kids will turn out to be while I'm away, but I know I will be proud of them all three of them, and I know their mother is proud of them as well."
Y/n "Thank you, Dad, and I will do my best, Dad, I will make you and everyone proud of me. I will also make sure everyone else makes their fathers, families, and nation proud when we see each other again."
Hakoda, "That's my girl." Hakoda had hugged you for longer, knowing deep down that he was going to miss you, his kids, and his family. He was going to be away for a long time, and he didn't know when he would be back home with his family and nation. There had been more hugs and words exchanged before, but the man of the southern water tribe left. It will be a long time until everyone sees each other or even hears a word about each other, as well as the ongoing war. Years into the war, Bato will be injured on the left at the nunnery for recovery, where he will be reunited with the rest of the group with wonderful news.
Bato, " I ran into the kids, and they are traveling with the avatar; they found him in an icebrug."
Hakoda " My kids and the avatar."
Bato, " Yes, and y/n has grown into a wonderful leader, same as her brother and sister. All three of them have changed since we last saw them. They decided to stay with Aang to go with him to the North Pole. They said goodbye to their father and the men."
Hakoda, " Good Im proud of my kids, and I hope to see them."
Bato, " We will, they will try to send word of their travel, though their allies they make for our side. Maybe one day we will meet up with them again."
Hakoda, " I know my kids and the avatar will do their best. When I do see the kids again, it will be good." Hakoda will be able to have his reunion with Sokka, months from now, happy to see his boy. He will soon be reunited with Katara as well, and he is happy to see her again, but when it comes to you. That reunion will be different from the rest and might take longer as well.

Chapter two First meeting , Chapter three First flight
Warnings : Slow burns , smut in futur chapters, friend to lover, Neteyam x Amira (you), mentions of dead and grief. sickness.
Summary : Love is a terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing about Pandora maybe. It can eat you alive and burn your soul entirely. The burning passion that can destroy everything you ever known and leave only the ashes to comfort you. Sometimes this burning desire can also be the most magical feeling ever. Neteyam and Amira never thought they could have more than friendship. They are used to this comforting dynamic and none of them want to risk it. But when they're a war, pain mix with love and care some cards get mixes. Growing up means tensions can change meaning and emotions can evolve. Sometimes some calm moments are the perfect one to remind someone that they are important to you Notes : The chapters are short and this is more a test . I don't feel confident in my work mostly because english isn't my first language. The characters might not behave like in the movies. Thoses characters don't belong to me unless it's Amira, Marcy or Teresa.
Chapter 2 First meeting
POV Neteyam
I remember the first time I met Mira. She was inside a tank with pump and a lot of wires around her. Even though I was still a baby , I remember that me and Spider were worried. All the adults were , even my dad. That's mostly why I was here , my dad was always checking on Amira's mother and he was bringing me along.
I also remember when we were all a little bit older, looking into the big tank where her little blue version was sleeping. She is what we call in my clan a dream walker like my dad once was. She looked weird in that tank next to Kiri's mother so much bigger and complete. We were always looking , waiting for when she could take it out in the real world. Mira was being tested almost every day to see some amelioration in her breathing. She needed to have excellent oxygen levels to be able to stay inside the capsule for extended periods of time. Her and I practiced every day so she could be ready. I remember her face turning blue sometimes, because she was trying to keep air inside. She looked funny even more when she finally got the ok to use her blue body. The scientist wanted to have a way to monitor Mira so they had her plug to a bunch of weird machines that made weird noises and weirder drawings. Once plugged she could become one of us, a Na'vi. She's one of us.
After Spider I'm the oldest which make me responsible for all the other's that came after. Mira mostly, she was really sick at first so we couldn't play outside for long. She had to take pills every day at the same time so I was also in charge of keeping an eye on the time. As long as I can remember I took care of Amira.
When she was hurt I brought her plants to make medicine. When she was tired in Na'vi form I was the one that carried her. When she first struggle to shoot an arrow I learn from my dad and than showed her. I teach her ours way before she was allowed to be part of the clan. We practiced my mother tongue with Spider and she became an even better teacher than I was.
When we assisted at our first festivity in the village she danced with me on my dad's feet. Mira was always like my shadow. Always near , watching like a ikran and caring for ours safety. Mira took care of my wounds when we got out and I take care of her in other spheres. We were always near one and other otherwise people would wonder where was the other. That's kinda how the five of us became known as the trouble makers group. Mira and me try to make everyone stay inside their lane. We try to keep them alive and also whole. Sometimes I fear like we're the parents and they are the children, even if technically we are all children only separate by two years.
POV Amira
The first time I remember meeting Neteyam was when I was allowed to visit the forest for a little longer alongside Spider and his big blue friend Neteyam . He was so big almost like an adult sized human but he was ours age and blue. I got outside with them and they brought me to a beautiful clearing where the grass was long and the plants so beautiful and big.
We spends the whole hour I was aloud outside there. Playing in the grass , jumping , running and looking at the sky. I think that's also when I fell in love with Pandora and maybe a little about Neteyam too . He was so sweet, presenting all the plants and the animals we saw along the way. He was patiently explaining everything and showing care when I ask all my questions, even the stupid one. He waited while I took my notes and samples . Neteyam was picking up the tallest plants samples and help with the toxic ones. He took me back on his back sense I was tired. He said I felt like a brush of vines since I was so small on him. I had my little arms trying to go around his neck and his hands securing me around his body as he race Spider to the lab. We obviously won the race and my heart was filled with joy from the day. He was almost always here, playing with Spider , bringing me and my mom's new plants to test and alongside was his father at first but then it was his sister and brother. Than without warning we got older. I remember the first time he ask to take me out. We were 10 , and it was the anniversary of my mother death. He brought me alone, just the two of us to the tree of souls. He showed me how to connect with it. I didn't use the avatar body a lot that year so I got weak, but Neteyam help me got there even carried me sometimes. I cried a lot that night, and he hold me till every scream of pain and sadness vanished into the quiet forest.
Neteyam was often my safe place in this world that took so much from me. He got me out of my dark hole when I was at the bottom and I own him my life for it . I think that's how we got so close , trough ours pain and losses. Between pain, care and losses we find each other.
The first time I felt a spark for Neteyam I was 5. The first time I fell in love with him was when I was 10. The first time I fell out of love with him hasn't happened yet and I hope it will never do. Now I'm only waiting on him falling in love with me too.
Chapter 3 First flight
POV Amira
I know my mother and mom were friends with Jake. I guess that's why he took care of me when they vanish. He never made me feel like a outsider. Once he had been a outsider and I think he never wished it on me to feel this way.
Jake acts like any father would , at least I thinks. That how he is with Neteyam, Kiri, Loak and Tuk, so that's how he is with Spider and me. He took a particular liking in me telling me stories about him and my mom when they met and worked together. I learn a lot of embarrassing things, I know my mom wouldn't have wanted me to know. Mostly Jake talked about how the two woman of my life love the shit out of me and of each other. It was always fun to have a third views perspective on a story my mother told me before bed.
I know Jake plead in my favour to introduce me in the clan life like his own kids. Sometimes I think my mother had a lot to do about it too. They both wanted what was better for me. My mother introduce me to Neytiri's mother, Mo'at , the Tsahik of the clan and I learn a lot about healing along side her and Kiri. I knew Neytiri didn't fully supported me learning but she had to give it to me , I was a good student.
Jake introduced me to hunting , taking me with him in small hunting group to show me the ropes. He made sure I had every opportunity like other Na'vi children. I was going to school every day alongside other children and my friend. I was training and learning like anybody else. I was always pushing myself scared that a mistake would give people more reason to hate me. Plus I didn't want to put Jake's family to shame. They were the one's responsible for me and I would hate to bring them down.
Jake taught me all the basic and Neteyam help me improve and perfected them. That's mostly how we got to the same level even if I'm 9 months younger than him.
The second day of Neteyam's 14th birthday he got the ok get to the Hallelujah mountains and get his Ikran. We were all so happy to learn the news but than Jake looked at me. He ask if I taught I was also ready for it. Neteyam was already the youngest Na'vi to be invited this early and now me ? I was exited to get mine the same day as my best friend but I was also scared of dying at 13 in the mountains. The Sully's convinced me I was ready and they brought me a lot of confidence. That was decided tomorrow morning before sunrise all the chosen one were going to the mountain and hunting down their Ikran. That whole night me and Neteyam talks about how we would want it to look and we slept in anticipation.
We were woken up earlier than expected but we got ready for the trip. We had to jump and climb the floating mountains of Hallelujah and the oldest kids were really quick. I know the elder call it Iknimaya , the stairway to heaven. We almost got lost at some point and got to pick up the pace. We climbed really dangerous steep cliff but once at the top the view was amazing. We now just had to get to the Ikran's and tame one, the easy part right ? Well no not really the guys that when before us , he felt form the sky. The oldest said that he fail because he didn't believe and wasn't ready. He push the elder to bring him and that was his downfall . They didn't let him die at least I hope not but I didn't see him back into the mountains. Next was Neteyam. He left me with a squeeze of my hand, with what just happen I didn't want to let go , but I had to.
This experience was very in-lighting, I was sure that I would be losing my best friend. Right there, when the Ikran decided to jump off the cliff with Neteyam on his back. They fell and scream and I taught it was the end. I was going to die and my best friend did die trying to tame a beast that was three time his size. I didn't notice I stop breathing till he resurfaced with his green and yellow new friend. He gave me a smug smile and a victory wink before riding it back to the ground. I let my heart calm down once his foots were on the ground. I almost slap him for scaring me like that. He didn't even flinch like he knew I was to glad, he was alive to hurt him. When he got back to my side , he was sweaty like after fighting and the smirk on his face made my blood boils with furie. I'm sure of it he made a show just to scare me.
Neteyam : Did I scared you Princess ?
He whispered in my ear teasingly. Oh Eywa I wanted to rip this smug expression off his face. This nickname he pickup in the lab, he was testing my patience now...
Me: Of course you scared me you skxawng. I - you could have killed yourself ...
This time I don't hesitate and smack the shit of his arm. I'm not fully sure if his acting when he take his arm away from me, pressing on the mark I made a second ago. He then bump me with his shoulder and I fumble but managed to stay up.
Me : You're not really mighty warrior material right now mister.
He seem offended for a second before coming back at me
Neteyam : Go and find your new best friend instead of bullying the one you already have
Me : I do it because I love you you know
I said half teasing half hoping he would catch on at some point. Instead he rolled his eye and pushed me into the Ikran's territory. I remembered everything that Jake said about this moment . How to stand, how to grip their jaws , how they would try to kill me and that's how I know its mine.
I looked back to Neteyam and Jake thumbs up in encouragement. I grip the little strand of fabric with a rock so tight my hand turned a different colours. I pass by many Ikran but none called to me.
Than I saw her , she was alone , sniffing one something in the air. She was beautiful , dark skin almost black and with various blueish greenish shadows. Her tails was white and her last centimetres of wings where also white. She hisses at me like she smelled my presence , I hissed back. I grab her with the instrument made for it and it closed her mouth. She couldn't bite my head off like this. I struggle to get on her back but when I did she dived into the nothing. I held on her like my life depended on her because it kinda did. I struggle again to reach my kuru to connect to her but I finally did it. We bonded and performed the tsaheylu, she truly choose me then. We fled for a second before returning to the other. That how I met Aliss.
Once I was back up everyone got to their Ikran and we fled back to home tree. Showing everyone the beautiful creature that was now our friend. I felt so proud seeing everyone praising us for making it. I felt even prouder when Neteyam passed his arm around my shoulder looking at our Ikran.
Neteyam : We made it. I glad Aliss didn't kill you
I pass my arm around his back, leaning in a friendly embrace I knew way to much
Me : Yeah me too , im glad - wait what his name ?
Neteyam : Don't know haven't decided yet
Me : Please choose a good name not like your dad and Bob
Jake : What's wrong with Bob ?
I jumped in surprise when I heard Jake's voice behind us.
Me: Nothing lovely name !
Jake : Mmh ?
Neytiri passed beside us and whisper something I believed translate to : That's why I didn't let him pick the names of ours children. Me and Neteyam chuckle lightly before standing straight in front of a confused Jake that didn't hear his wife.
Tonowari x Fem Reader x Ronal (poly mates)/ Aonung x Tsireya x Rotxo x Fem Reader (platonic/parental relationship):
The Reader is Tonowari and Ronal’s mate, she’s also the kid’s favorite parents. So it’s a day we’re the kids don’t have to train the Sully’s, so they decide to hangout with the reader. The Reader basically has like a lay down attitude, lets the kids climb on her when she’s resting but is definitely protective. So the Sully kids want to hang out with Aonung, Tsireya, and Rotxo, so they try to find them and that’s when they are introduced to the Reader properly. They hang out for the whole day but loose track of time. Jake and Neyteri get worried that their kids are not home yet and decide to as Ronal and Tonowari. And you can take the rest how you’d like.
Also I’m kind of thinking about the scene from lion king where Simba visits Scar and plays with Scar while he lays there.
When it came to your mates who were seen as serious and strict all the time, and a bit of ice cold when it came to one of them. You had been the laid-back and kindhearted one of the trio in the relationship. It had been commonly known in the clan that if you wished to speak about a matter that needed to be addressed or anything, it was best to speak with you first before your mates. When it came to your personality, you had become a favorite among everyone, from your clan to the kids and the elders. It also makes you the favorite among your kids.
Y/n " So which hairstyle will you love for this month, tsireya?"
Tsireya " Braids that start and lead to my hair being loose at the end, any style of braiding will be okay, Mom."
Y/n " Okay, let me see what I can do."
Tsireya " Where did the boys go, Mom? They were here; they ran off."
Y/n " They are having races on their IIus, they might resurface in a bit."
Aonung " I win, you lose. Try to beat me, I'm the best rider ever."
Rotxo " Haha, you win aonung, brag all you want, but you and I both know I'm the best diver out of both of us."
Y/n " There are your brother ma daughter always being themselves." Tsireya had laughed at your words as you started undoing her braids, as you washed her hair and combed out her hair as well, before you started working on a new hairstyle for her.
Y/n" So tell me more about Lo'ak. I have seen you and him spending a lot of time with him."
Tsireay " He is very nice and funny, we can talk for hours about anything, I find him very cute as well."
Y/n " Oh."
Tsireya, " I just love spending time with him and not just him, mom, the rest of his siblings, and Spider as well. They are all very funny and nice to be with and have been doing their best to learn their ways of the metekayain as well."
Y/n " That is good, my daughter."
??? " Tsireya." You soon saw a teen navi boy coming running over, followed by three other navi kids and a sky people child as well. Tsireya soon got up quickly, and you did the same.
Tsireya " Lo'ak hello."
Lo'ak, " Hey, we went by your house to see if you and your siblings wanted to spend time with us, but we saw your home was empty. Someone had told us we could find you and your siblings on the beach."
Tsireya " Yes, my brothers and I are spending time with our mom."
Y/n " Hello, young ones." The rest of the group soon caught up with lo'ak as they, along with lo'ak looked at you.
Tsireya " Lo'ak, neteyam, tuk, and kiri, spider, this is my mom y/n."
Neteyam " Hello, y/n, we see you, and it's nice to meet you."
Y/n " Hello, young ones, my kids have spoken so much about you all."
Aonung " Hey, everyone, we didn't know you all would be coming here today."
Rotxo " Hey guys."
Spider " We had the day off, and we came to see if you all wanted to hang out, but we didn't know you three would be with your mom today."
Rotxo " Mom, may our friends join us today, seeing that they have the day off as well, like us, and seeing that they came all this way." The kids had all looked at you, waiting for your answer, but you already had their answer to their question.
Y/n " Yes, they can stay here with us and join us for the day, as I don't wish them to waste their free day they had been given." The kids smiled brightly towards you, happy with your response to their answer.
Y/n " Now go have some fun all of you sunset falls and we all head home." The kids had nodded their head and ran off to have some fun, while you sat under the plam tree singing a song.
Tsireya " Mom can I, kiri, and tuk stay here with you while the boys play in the water and do their little races."
Y/n " Sure, you girls can stay here under the shade with me, and it will be fun as we can find something else to do besides talking."The girls smiled as they sat under the palm tree with you, and soon started talking and admiring the view.
Tuk " You have very beautiful bracelets."
Y/n " Thank you for this one here, the first one I made myself, while the others had been courting gifts my mates had given me, along with this necklace."
Tsireya " Wait, Baba and Father made those bracelets and necklace for you."
Y/n " Yes, wait, I haven't told you this story yet."
Tsireya " No."
Y/n " Well, if you girls wish to know the story, I will tell it to you."
Kiri " Yes, please tell us the story."
???? " Can we join?" You and the girls had turned around to see the boys standing there, as you nodded your head and made room for them to sit down and join the group.
Neteyam " Would olo'eythan tonowari and ronol be okay with you sharing this story?"
Y/n " Oh, I have more stories on them that I could tell that are funny, serious, and a bit embarrassing, but for now, I will save those for later. I do love my mates, but sometimes they need to be reminded of how it was when you are young and still trying to find your way in life."
Y/n " Now let me tell you the story, it all started when your father and I were young and living our lives here on the reef." The kids had listened closely as you started telling them the story, behind the bracelets and necklace.
Later that day
Neytiri " Ma, Jake none of the children have returned yet."
Jake " They had gone off to spend time with tsireya, aonung, and rotxo for their day off."
Neytiri " Oh, good, I'm happy they have been able to find friends, but we should get them and bring them home for dinner, and it's getting late as well." Jake and Neytiri had left the home to bring the kids home as the day was ending, and they soon heard the kids laughing and followed the sound. The couple soon stopped and saw the kids standing with tsireya and her sibling, along with a strange woman.
Tuk " Mama and dad." Tuk had run off from the group towards her parents, a bright smile on her face and a brand-new hairstyle. Now that Jake and Neytiri look more closely, they see that all their kids have new hairstyles.
Neytiri " Ma, daughter, you have such beautiful hair, and I can say the same for the rest of your siblings as well."
Tuk " Thank you, mama y/n had done my hair and helped the bigger kids, with their hair as well."
Y/n " Hello, troku makto, and Neytiri, it's good to meet you both."
Neteyam " Father and mother, this is y/n she is the mother of aonung, rotxo, and tsireay, and she is also the mate of tonowari and ronol."
Lo'ak " We had gone looking for tsireya and her siblings and she alllowed us to stay with the group, we had a good day with her today."
Neytiri: " Thank you for allowing our kids to spend time with you together."
Y/n " It had been good to have your kids over today, and I don't mind having them join the kids and me again."
Jake " Thank you, kids, please thank y/n, and we can head home."
Sully kids(spider) " Thank you." The kids had bowed their heads and soon smiled at you, then left with their parents. It seems like one day, you had been able to win over the whole Sully family, as even Jake and Neytiri had become fans of you as well. While your kids were just happy to show off their favorite parent to their new friends.
