#rinela x reader

[papzig]

How are you doing? How do you think the frontiers would react at having a mate who present themselves as a pacifist, yet has the biggest kill count when it comes to dealing with the rda? Like, thats good, youre really useful and were glad to have you, but youre not doing what youre preaching, so what’s going on?

lol yes ofc

Afop x S/O who’s a violent “pacifist”

So’lek

• Notices the contradiction almost immediately.

• Doesn’t call you out right away.

• Just quietly observes.

• One day another Na’vi says, “Your mate is the most peaceful warrior I’ve ever met.”

• So’lek nearly chokes.

• Because he personally witnessed you wipe out an entire RDA patrol two days ago.

• Eventually asks you directly.

- “You speak of peace often.”

- “…And?”

- “The RDA fears you more than some entire clans.”

• If you explain that you’re peaceful until someone threatens your people, he actually understands.

• To him, that’s not hypocrisy.

• That’s restraint.

• What matters is that you don’t enjoy killing.

• What worries him would be if you started to.

Ri’nela

• Is genuinely confused.

• She 100% believes you when you say that you’re a pacifist

• Then she hears stories. Lots of stories.

- “Wait… THEY did that?”

• Watches as everyone else starts nodding.

• Ri’nela slowly turns toward you.

- “How many RDA facilities have you destroyed exactly?”

• You’re suddenly very interested in the scenery.

• She eventually realizes your definition of pacifism is more complicated.

• You don’t seek conflict.

• You avoid it whenever possible.

• But if the RDA starts it?

• You’re ending it.

• Ri’nela still teases you endlessly.

- “Such a peaceful person.”

• The sarcasm is devastating.

Teylan

• Absolutely baffled.

• Completely.

• Genuinely.

• Every time someone describes one of your raids, he’s convinced they’re talking about a different person.

- “No, my mate wouldn’t do that.”

- Priya: “Teylan, they literally blew up an entire convoy.”

- “…Oh.”

• Looks at you.

• Looks back at them.

• Looks at you again.

• Eventually accepts that the sweet, gentle person who reminds people to be kind is also terrifying.

• Thinks it’s honestly kind of scary.

• But also kind of impressive.

• Mostly scary.

Nor

• Finds it hilarious.

• Absolutely hilarious.

• You’re standing there talking about peace.

• Meanwhile everyone in the room knows your reputation.

• Nor is fighting for his life not to laugh.

- “Continue.”

• He wants to hear the speech.

• Especially because he knows what happened to the last RDA squad that underestimated you.

• Eventually calls you out.

- “You realize nobody believes you’re harmless anymore.”

• If you argue you’re still a pacifist, he’ll just raise an eyebrow.

- “Interesting definition.”

• Secretly respects it, though.

• You don’t fight because you want to.

• You fight because you feel you must.

Eetu

• Thought people were exaggerating.

• They were not.

• One day he actually witnesses you in combat.

• Afterwards he just stares.

- “…”

- “What?”

- “I thought you disliked violence.”

- “I do.”

- “Then what was that?”

• He never did get that answer for what he saw.

• Starts referring to you as a “peaceful storm”.

• Because somehow both descriptions fit.

• Loves bringing it up when you’re acting sweet.

- “Tell them about the time you destroyed that entire outpost.”

• You immediately tell him to stop talking.

Etuwa

• Understands faster than most.

• She sees the difference between enjoying violence and using it reluctantly.

• Knows the burden that comes with taking lives.

• What she watches for isn’t your kill count.

• It’s your attitude.

• Do you mourn what was lost? Do you still value life? Do you seek alternatives when possible?

• If the answer is yes, she won’t judge you.

• She may gently challenge your wording though.

- “You are peaceful, but you are not harmless.”

• There’s a difference.

• And she thinks that difference matters.

Tamtey

• Suspicious from day one.

• Nobody gets a reputation like yours accidentally.

• So every time you give one of your peaceful speeches, they’re internally like:

- Sure. Right. Of course.

• Eventually asks how many RDA soldiers you’ve actually fought.

• The answer is apparently much higher than expected.

• Tamtey just rubs their face.

- “You realize most people would call you a warrior?”

• You insist you’re a pacifist.

• They insists you’re terrifying.

• Neither of you changes your opinion.

• This becomes a recurring argument throughout the relationship.

• A very affectionate argument.

S/O the entire time:

[papzig]

AFOP x S/O who likes to sneak up to scare them.

So’lek

• The first time you do it, he reacts on pure instinct.

• You’re on the ground before he even realizes it’s you.

• Immediately freezes when he recognizes you, lowkey horrified at himself.

• “…Do not do that again.” (you will absolutely do it again)

• After that, he starts tracking your footsteps constantly.

• You think you’re being sneaky? You are not.

• Will casually speak before you even pounce:

- “I can hear you.”

• BUT… one time you actually manage to surprise him.

• The way he stiffens gives him away instantly.

• You swear you saw him get embarrassed about it.

• He pretends it never happened and refuses to acknowledge your “victory”.

Ri’nela

• You scare her once and she actually jumps so bad 😭.

• Hand over her chest, staring at you like you just took years off her life.

• Kinda like a grandma would. Especially if she had her pearls to clench lol.

• “Why would you do that?!” but she’s laughing too.

• Starts trying to anticipate your sneak attacks.

• Fails. Repeatedly.

• You become her biggest menace.

• Eventually she tries to scare you back.

• She is TERRIBLE at it.

• You see her coming every single time.

• She still gets proud when she almost succeeds

• If you think about it, it just becomes a bonding moment built on the other’s fear 🥰 so sweet.

Teylan

• You scare him and he straight up yells

• Like I’m taking full volume, no shame (maybe but if a squeal like a girl too)

• Drops whatever he’s holding

• Then immediately realizes it’s you and just looks at you utterly betrayed.

- “YOU CAN’T DO THAT—”

• Gets flustered every time you laugh at him

• Tries to lecture you about “danger awareness”

• You scare him again mid-lecture with one of those “wa-“ while jerking forwards at him.

• He still jumps a bit from that.

• He’s never recovering from the betrayal

• Starts getting paranoid and checking behind him constantly

Nor

• You try to scare him… and he doesn’t react

• At all (kinda boring man)

• You think you failed until he slowly turns his head like

- “…Finished?”

• He knew you were there the entire time

• Lowkey finds it amusing but will NOT give you the satisfaction

• One day, he decides to flip it on you

• Sneaks up on you instead

• Actually succeeds

• Smug. So smug.

• That one win fuels him forever (not fair tbh)

Eetu

• You scare him and he immediately goes into defensive mode.

• Not aggressive, just fast reflexes.

• Grabs you before you can even run away.

• Then realizes it’s you and just sighs with a small smile creeping up his cheek.

• “You enjoy this too much.”

• Starts playfully retaliating

• Will sneak up behind you and poke your sides or grab your waist

• Turns it into a game between you two

• Who can scare who first that day

• He keeps score. Seriously.

Etuwa

• You scare her and she lets out the softest startled noise

• Then immediately starts laughing.

• Thinks it’s funny more than anything.

• Encourages it at first 😭

• Until you do it while she’s focused on something important.

• Gives you the look.

- “…Not now.”

• Later though? She will absolutely try to sneak up on you back

• She’s actually pretty good at it too

• It becomes a playful, mutual habit

Tamtey

• You scare them and they physically jumps back.

• Hand going straight to their weapon out of instinct.

• Realizes it’s you and just exhales like:

- “…You will be the end of me.”

• Doesn’t like it at first since their too on edge for that.

• But you keep doing it anyway.

• Eventually they starts recognizing your patterns.

• Calls you out before you even act.

• “If you are behind that tree, come out.”

• The ONE time you outsmart them though??

• He just stares at you like you’ve unlocked a new level of chaos.

[papzig]

Is there any chance you could do AFOP x SO!reader where the reader is great at knitting/weaving/crochet/something of that type but eventually find SO!reader’s yarn stash? Like a truly ridiculous quantity of yarn/thread/etc for the kind of space they’re fitting it in. And or SO!reader gets “caught” bringing back a large haul of yarn from one of the traders/crafters/windtraders. Anyways I loovvveeeeddddd your last/first(?) headcanons list for AFOP and I hope you’re doing well :)

YES YES! SORRY I JUST NOW SAW MY INBOX NOTIFICATIONS WHEN I WAS JUST THINKING “huh why haven’t I gotten any requests yet?🥲” until i actually looked so yes!

AFOP x S/O who is a knitting, weaving, and crochet crazy

Tamtey

• Ta’mey is the one who catches you returning with a huge haul from traders.

• You’re trying to sneak into camp quietly with an armful of yarn.

• They’re already sitting there watching.

• Smirking.

• “…What is that.”

• You freeze.

• “Nothing.”

• They walks over.

• You try to hide the bundles.

• They grab one.

• Then another.

• Then lifts the bag revealing an absurd amount of yarn.

• They laugh.

• “Oh this is going to be good.”

• They absolutely tell the others.

• But they also start helping you barter with traders to get even better materials.

• Mostly because they find the entire situation hilarious.

• And they want to see how big the stash gets.

So’lek

• At first he only noticed small things:

- A woven strap on his bow.

- A new cord tying his gear.

- A thicker wrap on his arm guard.

• All made by you.

• So he assumed you simply had a small supply of fiber.

• Then one day he moves a woven mat in your shared sleeping space.

• And a bundle falls out.

• Then another.

• Then another.

• He slowly pulls them free.

• Yarn.

• Thread.

• Plant fibers.

• Dyed strands in every shade of Pandora.

• The pile keeps growing.

• He finally stops and looks up at you with that quiet, slightly narrowed stare.

• “…How.”

• You’re standing there holding a new bundle from a trader.

• He doesn’t even sound mad.

• Just deeply confused.

• The worst part?

• He eventually starts noticing your hiding places.

• Under sleeping mats.

• Inside baskets.

• Inside other yarn bundles.

• He sighs.

• But the next time he visits traders he quietly brings back rare fibers he knows you’d like.

• He will never acknowledge that he is enabling this.

Ri’nela

• Ri’nela finds the stash completely by accident.

• She’s looking for something you mentioned leaving in your tent.

• She opens a basket.

• Yarn.

• She lifts a cloth.

• More yarn.

• She pulls open a storage wrap.

• Even more yarn.

• Her ears flick in confusion.

• “How do you have this much?”

• You freeze in the doorway holding a freshly traded bundle.

• She slowly looks between you and the yarn.

• Then laughs softly.

• She actually loves it.

• Ri’nela is the one who starts helping you organize colors and fibers, turning your chaotic stash into neat weaving collections.

• But she absolutely calls you out whenever you come back with more.

• “Did you really need six more bundles?”

• “…Yes.”

• She sighs but smiles anyway.

Teylan

• Teylan finds the stash and immediately assumes something is wrong.

• Because no normal person has that much fiber.

• He kneels down and starts examining it like it’s some sort of puzzle.

• Different plants.

• Different dyes.

• Different weaving textures.

• He gets fascinated.

• “Wait…this one is stronger than the others.”

• Now he’s asking questions.

• How do you spin it?

• How do you dye it?

• What animals or plants make the best thread?

• You accidentally turned the discovery into a three hour crafting lecture.

• He never judges the stash.

• Instead he becomes the person who spots rare weaving materials when traveling.

• And brings them back excitedly.

• “You didn’t have this type yet!”

• Now your yarn hoard is even worse.

Eetu

• Eetu finds the stash and just starts laughing.

• Not quietly either.

• Full laughter.

• He keeps pulling bundles out of places they absolutely should not fit.

• Inside a travel bag.

• Inside hollow containers.

• Under the sleeping mat.

• “How did you even fit this here?”

• You’re trying to discreetly shove another bundle behind your back.

• He notices immediately.

• “You just traded for more, didn’t you?”

• You try to deny it.

• It doesn’t work.

• Eetu teases you about it constantly.

• But he also proudly wears everything you make him, especially arm wraps and gear ties.

• If anyone asks where he got them?

• “From the best weaver in the clan.”

Etuwa

• Etuwa is the calmest reaction.

• She discovers the stash while helping tidy your space.

• She pauses when she sees the yarn.

• Then calmly continues pulling out bundle after bundle.

• Her expression slowly becomes amused.

• “You have been busy.”

• You nervously explain that different fibers are useful for different things.

• Soft wraps.

• Strong cords.

• Decorative weaving.

• She listens carefully.

• Then nods.

• “This is good work.”

• She encourages your crafting and even helps gather rare plant fibers.

• But she will gently stop you if the stash grows too large for the space.

• “You cannot sleep on yarn forever.”

GIVE ME MORE AFOP REQUESTS YOU FIENDS

[papzig]

Hi! Saw the request was open and had an idea: how would the afop characters would handle finding out in real time that there kid was fucking stupid? And I dont mean clumsy or impulsive, I mean you have several talks with them about a situation or a subject that need to be learns and they do not get no matter how simple it is, its like something in there head is going "im not working today".

Example: the character's mate is an avatar, meaning the kid is mixed with both na'vi and "demon blood" as they say. However, the kid was born with all the traits of a na'vi so the only way to find out they are mixed is to meet the parents and go "oh, your mom/dad is an avatar, so youre mixed". And just to be sure that the kid is prepared for any discrimination, they had the talk about the Young being mixed, but this dumbass thought it meant "oh, im mixed because my parents are not from the same clan" because in their mind, i dont have avatar traits, so i cant have sky people blood. So everytime its brought up, they keep having to give them the talks and you just see ITS NOT GETTING IN!

I understand if you dont want to make it, its so godamn dumb but there is something so frustrating yet so hilarious in explaining something to someone and them just going "no" like what do you mean no?!?! Its not an opinion, its a fact! You cant argue against facts!

OFC

⚠️ warning!: with most characters I made them as gender neutral as possible but I had to specify the reader as the opposite gender.⚠️

Afop x Avatar!S/O mate with a kid who’s a absolute dumbass

So’lek

• At first he assumes the child simply needs more time.

• Then he explains it again.

• And again.

• And again.

• Eventually he starts staring at them with the thousand-yard stare of a warrior who has survived countless battles.

• The child is nodding along the entire time.

• Which somehow makes it worse.

- Solek: “Do you understand?”

- Child: “Yes.”

• Relief.

• Then:

- Child: “Because Mom and Dad are from different clans.”

• So’lek closes his eyes.

• He is suddenly very tired.

• While you are trying your best not to laugh.

• So’lek begins using increasingly simple explanations.

• Drawings.

• Family trees.

• Pointing directly at the Avatar parent.

• Somehow the child still reaches the wrong conclusion.

• He eventually starts questioning if Eywa is testing him.

Ri’nela

• Ri’nela starts out incredibly patient.

• She genuinely believes communication can solve anything.

• The first ten explanations are calm.

• The next ten explanations are slower.

• The next ten involve visual aids.

• Eventually she starts asking the child questions.

- Rínela: “What species is your father?”

- Child: “Na’vi.”

- Rínela: “No.”

- Child: “Blue.”

- “…”

• Progress?

• Not really.

• The child still somehow misses the point.

• Ri’nela eventually looks at you for help.

• Whole you are too busy laughing too hard to contribute.

• Ri’nela has never been so betrayed.

Teylan

• Teylan absolutely understands the confusion at first.

• He tries relating it to human genetics.

• Then Na’vi genetics.

• Then both.

• The child somehow becomes more confused.

- Child: “So I’m human?”

- Teylan: “No.”

- Child: “Half human?”

- Teylan: “No- wait- yes- wait no-“

- Child: “Quarter human?”

- Teylan: “No!”

• Teylan starts pacing.

• He then brings in books, charts, examples, etc.

• Nothing works.

• Eventually he realizes the kid isn’t refusing to understand.

• They literally just aren’t connecting the dots.

• At that point he mostly gives up and starts answering questions as they come.

• He loves them dearly.

• He just accepts that some conversations will repeat every month.

Nor

• Nor notices before anyone else.

• The child asks a question.

• Nor answers.

• The child asks the exact same question five minutes later.

• Nor slowly realizes.

- Nor: “You did not understand.”

- Child: “I did.”

• They did not.

• Unlike the others, Nor gets blunt.

• Very blunt.

- Nor: “Your mother is an Avatar.”

- Child: “Yes.”

- Nor: “That means you are mixed.”

- Child: “Because she’s from the Avatar clan?”

• Long silence.

• Nor stares at the sky.

• The sky offers no guidance.

• Eventually he just accepts that intelligence skipped a generation somewhere.

• Still loves them.

• Just occasionally wonders how they survive.

Eetu

• Eetu finds it hilarious.

• At first.

• The first misunderstanding? Funny.

• The second? Funny.

• The twentieth? Less funny.

• He starts making jokes.

- Eetu: “If your mother were green, would that make you a leaf?”

• The child actually thinks about it.

• Eetu immediately regrets asking.

• You’re losing it.

• Eventually he just starts ruffling the kid’s hair.

• Eetu: “You’re lucky you’re cute.”

• He never lets them live it down.

• This becomes legendary future family teasing material when the kid gets older. (And hopefully smarter)

Etuwa

• Etuwa is patient beyond human comprehension.

• She explains things gently.

• Repeats herself kindly.

• Uses stories, analogies, examples from nature.

• Somehow none of it lands.

• One day she thinks the child finally understands.

• Finally.

• Victory.

• Then:

- Child: “So if Dad joins another clan he’ll be mixed too?”

• Etuwa just stares.

• Not angry. Not upset.

• Just processing.

• Even she reaches her limit eventually.

• The child receives the longest explanation in Pandora’s history.

• Child: “ohh so if I ask the humans for a different body then I’ll have five fingers right?”

• Yeah… she’s gonna be praying to Ewya for her child really hard after that one.

Tamtey

• Tamtey starts confident.

- Tamtey: “This will take one conversation.”

• It does not.

• After the fifth conversation they’re concerned.

• After the tenth they’re frustrated.

• After the fifteenth they’re impressed.

• The misunderstanding has survived every attempt to remove it.

• It has become immortal.

• The child confidently explains their own heritage.

• Incorrectly.

• In public.

• Tamtey nearly chokes.

• Other adults are looking at them.

• Looking at the child. Looking back at them.

• As if asking:

- “Have you taught them anything?”

• They have. Repeatedly.

• That’s what makes this so painful.

[papzig]

Hi, if no one has asked, could you make the Frontiers characters with a human S/O?

I would find it interesting if they liked a human, the human knew this but pretended not to know or didn't quite believe that a Na'vi would be interested in them.

Of course! Was waiting for this one!

Afop x Human!S/O

So’lek

• Since to him you already earned your place.

• You both end up talking for hours about your experiences growing up around the RDA.

• Loves sharing old human technology with you.

• He worries constantly about whether you’re safe during dangerous missions.

• You’re one of the few people he completely lets his guard down around.

• If you become homesick for Earth, he’ll quietly stay with you until you’re feeling better.

Nor

• He’s suspicious at first, even if he doesn’t openly show it.

• Once you’ve proven yourself, his loyalty is unwavering.

• He appreciates honesty more than anything.

• He doesn’t treat you as “fragile,” but he does quietly adapt his fighting style to protect you.

• Loves showing you off to friends because they think your relationship is unique.

Eetu

• Probably the quickest of the others to accept a human partner.

• He’s naturally kind and open-minded person.

• Loves teaching you about Pandora’s wildlife, culture, food, etc.

• Patiently answers every question you have.

• Finds it adorable when you’re amazed by things he’s seen his whole life.

• Always keeps an eye out for plants that aren’t safe for humans.

• Loves introducing you to animals in a slow, comfortable way. (Like with Zoomy or after the incident with his newly bonded ikran)

• Proud of every survival skill you learn.

Etuwa

• Finds your curiosity refreshing and a little bit amusing.

• Makes sure you understand the spiritual importance of Eywa without pressuring you.

Heyy I enjoy reading your avatar headcannons and would like to request one if you are interested in writing it

So basically its that the character is gone on a trip or something like that and they just arrived back but their S/O didn't know that and the character hears from a freind about how reader has been crying/ really sad because they miss them

This one can be afop or avatar whatever one you decide

Afop x S/O who missed them

(ft: Solek, Rinela, Teylan, Nor, Tamtey, Eetu, Etuwa)

So’lek

• So’lek had only been gone for a handful of days, traveling between clans to deliver supplies and information.

• He assumed you would be fine while he was away.

• Not long after returning, he runs into Ri’nela, who casually mentions, “Your mate has hardly smiled since you left.”

• He pauses.

- “…Explain.”

• She hesitates before admitting she’d found you crying more than once, insisting you were fine while clearly not being fine at all.

• He feels an immediate pang of guilt.

• He never wanted his absence to weigh on you that heavily.

• Instead of announcing he’s back, he quietly heads straight to wherever you usually spend your evenings.

• He finds you sitting alone, absentmindedly tracing patterns into the dirt.

• When you finally notice him, your eyes widen so much he almost mistakes it for disbelief.

• Before you can even stand, he crosses the distance himself.

• He wraps his arms around you firmly, resting his forehead against yours.

- “…I should have returned sooner.”

• The moment he feels you begin crying into his shoulder, his embrace only tightens.

• He stays with you the rest of the evening, listening while you admit how empty everything felt without him.

• The next time duty calls him away, he makes sure you know exactly how long he’ll be gone and leaves you with small handmade keepsakes to remind you he’ll come home.

Ri’nela

• Ri’nela returns exhausted but excited to tell you everything she learned during her journey.

• Before she even reaches your home, Teylan greets her with a relieved smile.

- “You’re finally back… your mate has been missing you terribly.”

• She immediately asks what happened.

• He explains that you kept trying to stay cheerful around everyone, but once you thought you were alone, you’d break down crying.

• Ri’nela’s heart absolutely shatters.

• She blames herself for underestimating how difficult the separation would be.

• She doesn’t even unpack before rushing to find you.

• She spots you helping with chores, looking distracted and unusually quiet.

• You glance over and completely freeze.

• The basket in your hands slips to the ground as you run toward her.

• She meets you halfway, nearly knocking herself over hugging you.

- “I’m here. I’m here now.”

• She wipes away every tear with her thumbs, apologizing over and over despite you insisting it wasn’t her fault.

• From then on, she sends messages through trusted travelers whenever she’s away so you never have to wonder how she’s doing.

Teylan

• Teylan comes back practically jogging through camp, eager to see you.

• Eetu stops him with a grin.

- “I think someone owes their mate a very big hug.”

• Teylan blinks.

- “Why?”

- “Because they’ve cried almost every night since you left.”

• His entire expression falls.

- “…They… what?”

• He had no idea.

• He immediately feels horrible for leaving with such confidence that you’d be okay.

• He practically sprints the rest of the way.

• You hear hurried footsteps before you even look up.

• The second your eyes meet, every emotion you’ve been holding in comes rushing out.

• You don’t even say hello you just throw yourself into his arms.

• He nearly loses his balance catching you.

- “I’m sorry… I didn’t know… I would’ve found a way to come back sooner if I’d known.”

• He spends the next several days sticking close to your side, almost refusing to let go of your hand.

• His friends notice he’s become even more affectionate than usual afterward.

Nor

• Nor returns quietly, expecting everything to be exactly as he’d left it.

• Instead, Eetu tells him you’ve barely been sleeping well.

- “…Why?”

- “They missed their mate.”

• He learns you’d been crying whenever someone asked if you were alright.

• Nor goes completely silent.

• He isn’t someone who expresses emotions easily, but guilt settles heavily in his chest.

• He finds you resting beneath one of your favorite trees.

• You don’t notice him until his shadow falls across you.

• Looking up, you almost think you’re imagining him.

- “…Nor?”

• He kneels beside you.

- “…I’m home.”

• That’s all it takes before you’re hugging him so tightly he can barely breathe.

• After a long pause, his arms slowly wrap around you.

- “…I missed you too.”

• It’s spoken so quietly you almost don’t hear it.

• Later that evening, he admits he never realized someone could miss him that much.

• Secretly, it means more to him than he can put into words.

Tamtey

• Tamtey returns in an incredibly good mood…

• …until one of their friends laughs softly and says, “You should probably go see your mate first.”

- “Why?”

- “They’ve been absolutely miserable without you.”

• They laugh at first, assuming they’re exaggerating.

• Then they explain you’d cried yourself to sleep more than once.

• Their smile disappears immediately.

- “You’re serious?”

• The answer is a simple nod.

• They waste no time searching for you.

• The moment you spot them, you burst into tears before you can stop yourself.

- “…Whoa- hey, hey…”

• They rush over and pulls you into the biggest hug imaginable.

- “I’m sorry. I didn’t know it’d be this hard.”

• They gently rubs your back until your breathing evens out.

• Afterward he becomes the type to leave little carved gifts or silly notes before every future trip.

• They want you to have something that reminds you they’ll always return.

Eetu

• Eetu comes home smiling, already thinking about surprising you.

• Before he gets the chance, Ri’nela quietly tells him she’s worried about you.

• Apparently you’d been putting on a brave face for everyone but the second you were alone, you’d cry because you missed him so much.

• His smile fades into pure concern.

- “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?”

• He feels awful imagining you going through that while he was miles away.

• He finds you near your favorite gathering spot.

• You’re staring into the distance when he softly calls your name.

• You whip around so quickly you almost trip.

- “Eetu…”

• He opens his arms before you even reach him.

• You practically collide with him.

• He laughs softly, though his own eyes have become suspiciously watery.

- “I missed you every day too.”

• He kisses your forehead and refuses to let go for a very long time.

• Everyone in camp smiles seeing the two of you attached at the hip for the next week.

Etuwa

• Etuwa returns carrying gifts she’d gathered during her travels, already imagining your smile.

• One of the clan members quietly tells her:

- “…Your mate has been waiting for you every sunset.”

• She looks confused.

• Then they explain you’d hoped each evening would be the one she returned.

• Some nights you’d quietly cry after realizing it wasn’t.

• Her heart aches.

• She immediately changes direction to look for you.

• She finds you watching the horizon, almost out of habit.

• You hear footsteps and turn around absentmindedly before freezing in complete disbelief.

- “Etuwa?”

• She smiles warmly, opening her arms.

- “Come here.”

• You don’t hesitate for a second.

• She holds you while you cry into her shoulder, gently smoothing your hair the entire time.

- “Thank you for waiting for me.”

• From then on, whenever she has to leave, she makes sure to reassure you before she goes.

• She always reminds you of one simple promise:

- “No matter how far I travel, my path always leads back to you.”

Hi I really enjoy your HC so i was wondering if you could do something based on this

What is was thinking of is afop x gn reader HCs

And reader is TERRIFIED of bugs like to the point one night they saw a bug crawl by their bed (or whatever they sleep in) and because of the bug they took all of their pillows and blankets and slept out in the hang out area of the residence base but somehow tames a big ikran alone with no gear whatsoever

im also not sure if your req are open because I dont see it open or closed in bio, so if it is close, feel free to ignore this

Yes I’d love to! And don’t worry! If I did have them closed for a certain fandom or anything I’d have it in my bio!

Afop x S/O who’s terrified of bugs

So’lek

• The first time he wakes before dawn and finds you cocooned in every blanket you own, asleep in the middle of the Resistance base’s common area, he’s convinced something terrible happened.

• When he quietly asks why you aren’t in your bed.

• You point toward your room with a horrified expression and whisper:

- “There was… a bug.”

• He waits for you to continue, expecting something the size of a viperwolf.

- “…It was this big.” You hold your fingers barely an inch apart.

• He stares at you in complete silence.

• This is the same person who bonded with an enormous ikran without climbing gear, weapons, or even another Na’vi nearby.

• He genuinely cannot understand the logic.

• The next day, he casually checks your room before you go to sleep, making sure there aren’t any insects lingering around.

• He’ll never tease you in front of others.

• Your fear is real, even if he doesn’t understand it.

• If a bug lands near you while you’re talking, he’ll wordlessly flick it away before you even notice.

• Secretly, he thinks it’s amusing that the bravest hunter he knows is defeated by something smaller than a berry.

Ri’nela

• She nearly panics herself when she discovers you missing next to her in the middle of the night.

• After finding you sleeping on a pile of blankets in the common area, she immediately asks if you’re hurt.

- “No… there was a bug.”

• She blinks.

- “…Only one?”

• Once she realizes you’re completely serious, she can’t help laughing, but not in a mean way.

• After seeing how genuinely distressed you are, the laughter turns into sympathy.

• She happily helps inspect your sleeping area every evening.

• If she finds one, she escorts it outside before you even see it.

• She absolutely brags to everyone about how you fearlessly tamed an ikran but once abandoned your own room because of a tiny insect.

• Whenever someone brings it up later, she’ll defend you with:

- “Everyone has something they’re afraid of.”

Teylan

• He wakes up and immediately assumes you’ve been kidnapped.

• He searches almost the entire base before spotting a mountain of blankets with your foot sticking out.

- “You scared me!”

• You quietly explain there was a bug in your room.

- “…You… left because of that?”

• He’s completely baffled.

• Then he remembers watching you calmly approach a wild ikran that everyone else thought would throw you off a cliff.

- “…Your priorities confuse me.”

• From then on, he becomes your designated “bug remover.”

• Every time you dramatically point at one, he sighs dramatically before carefully relocating it outside.

“ He absolutely tells the story by accident while laughing with the others, then immediately apologizes because he realizes you were embarrassed.

Nor

• He notices your absence almost immediately when he doesn’t feel your warmth next to him.

• His first thought is that the RDA attacked and kidnapped you. (Both dramatic much)

• His second is that you left on a hunt without telling anyone.

• Finding you peacefully asleep in a separate hammock somehow confuses him even more.

- “…Explain.”

• When you confess that you saw a bug near your original hammock, he raises one eyebrow.

- “You challenged an ikran alone.”

- “…Yes.”

- “Without equipment.”

- “…Yes.”

- “But this insect won?”

• You quietly nod.

• He pinches the bridge of his nose before silently walking back into the room to remove the bug himself.

• He’ll never admit it, but afterward he checks the room every night before you go to bed.

Tamtey

• They walk into the common area half asleep trying to look for you (most likely to be dramatic in asking why you would leave them) and nearly trips over your blanket nest.

- “WHY ARE YOU HERE?”

• Everyone wakes up because they shouted.

• You point dramatically toward the room.

- “…Bug.”

• They laugh so hard they have to sit down.

• Then you remind them that you literally tamed an ikran with nothing but confidence.

- “…Actually… that’s even funnier.”

• Every time they find a harmless bug afterward, they jokingly ask if they should evacuate the base.

• If they notice you’re genuinely panicking, though, the teasing immediately stops.

• They’ll shoo the bug away and tell everyone else to leave you alone.

Eetu

• He discovers your empty stop in the hammock and instantly begins worrying.

• Relief washes over him when he finds you safe.

• Once you explain the reason…

• He has to hide a smile.

- “So… the mighty ikran whisperer has been defeated by a little crawler?”

• You glare at him.

- “It had too many legs.”

- “…Fair enough.”

• He never forces you to deal with insects yourself.

• Instead, he calmly removes them whenever he notices one.

• Every once in a while he’ll grin and ask, “Should I check under your blankets for any tiny monsters?”

Etuwa

• She immediately notices you aren’t sleeping where you usually should be. (Aka next to her)

• When she learns why, she chuckles softly before sitting beside you.

• She explains that every creature has its place within Eywa’s balance.

• You nod…

- “…I still don’t want it in the room.”

• She laughs much harder at that.

• She never dismisses your fear, though.

• Instead, she gently helps move insects back outside whenever they wander in.

• She finds your contradiction incredibly sweet.

- “Eywa gave you the courage to tame one of the skies’ greatest hunters…”

- “…but not enough courage for a tiny beetle.”

• She says it with such warmth that you can’t even be offended.

• If she catches someone making fun of you for it, she’ll remind them that courage isn’t measured by fearing nothing, it’s measured by facing what truly frightens you, and everyone has something that unsettles them. (Phew and they said Shakespeare was dead-)
