Taken by the Mangkwan at eight years old and raised in blood and shadow, Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan grows into one of their fiercest warriors, beloved by his clan, feared by their enemies, and loyal to the people who stole him. By fifteen, he is no longer the lost son of the Omatikaya, but the blade Varang forged. When the Mangkwan invade the Metkayina and take Aonung captive, Neteyam expects nothing more than another prisoner of war. Instead, Aonung becomes the beginning of everything unraveling, turning loyalty into doubt, devotion into obsession, and war into something far more dangerous. OR The Mangkwan stole him in blood. The sea taught him how to love. (credits to the artist)

💕 Credits for the cover pic by Rupin_02 Aonung, the charismatic yet cocky basketball captain of Awa'atlu High, makes a reckless bet with his drunk best friend Nashvi to make the new student, Neteyam, fall for him before prom and then break his heart on prom night. Unbeknownst to Aonung, Neteyam was already dating Paytxul, the captain of their rival school, Atu'tani High, and Aonung's biggest competitor. Seeing this as an opportunity to mess with his rival and stir up some high school drama, Aonung seems excited to carry out this scheme. But as he gets closer to Neteyam, he begins to realize that his so-called game might lead to consequences he never expected.

The Metkayina do not rush the current. They adorn, they wait, they let the sea speak first. But Neteyam has always been a son of a different world, and he is tired of waiting. While the reef offers him shells and songs, while his suitor circles at a respectful distance, Neteyam knows what he wants. He has known since Aonung's gaze first found him across the water, since gifts began arriving wrapped in other hands, since the gifts had settled against his skin like a vow half-spoken.. like he beared his acceptance and the cheifs sons choice. The question burns in him, impatient and fierce: When will you ask? (Cross-posted on ao3 (@godiwa))

Fire and Water do not mix easily. Neteyam, the dutiful eldest son of Toruk Makto, carries the weight of his family's safety on his shoulders. He cannot afford to fail at learning the ways of the reef. Aonung, the prideful prince of the Metkayina, resents the intrusion of the forest people and the task of teaching them. He finds Neteyam's stiff discipline arrogant and annoying. But disdain turns to curiosity when Aonung witnesses Neteyam's secret, exhausting late-night struggles in the water. Drawn together by the shared pressure of expectation, an unspoken truce forms in the darkness of the reef.

"This is a serious conversation." Neteyam stated, his intense big eyes still looking straight at Ao'nung's soul. "You look at me." He said and it wasn't a request. The metkayina gulped, his heart threatening to beat right out of his chest as he felt Neteyam's thumb rubbing the edge of his jaw. "Go on, what do you want to say?" "What I am saying is.." Ao'nung hesitated again. He felt as if Neteyam already knew what he was about to say and he felt naked under those eyes. As if Neteyam could see all his secrets without Ao'nung having to say a word. "What if I don't want you to choose someone else?" He asked and waited for Neteyam to get angry but the boy's expression remained serious. "And who would I choose then?" Neteyam asked, his voice still as soft as ever, as if afraid to spook Ao'nung. The metkayina swallowed with difficulty as his throat constricted with the heaviness of his emotions and nervousness. He had to be courageous, he had to be brave. So Ao'nung thought 'fuck it' and said exactly what he meant. "Me."
