Oneshot drabble based on a Neteyam x Reader Tumblr request I received with a prompt around your secret crush on your best friend's older brother and his secret crush back on you. Story snippet: Lo'ak's lips curled in a derisive snarl of his own, "You can't have her, bro. I won't let you. She's my best friend. I see the way you look at her, Neteyam. You want her for yourself." "This doesn't have to be a you or me situation." Neteyam reasoned, "My interest in her and your friendship are not mutually exclusive things." "No, you can't have her!" The words were spat from Lo'ak in a vicious growl, louder now than before. "That isn't your choice or mine, Lo'ak! It's hers! But I have every right to express my wish to court her!" Neteyam countered.

⌠ Tsu'kida looked at the boy, noticing he was also looking at her. She gave him a small smile and did the greeting gesture with her hand. He returned it and smiled too, his tail waving side to side from excitement, something that made him look really cute in Tsu'kida's eyes. ⌡ 𒆜Neteyam Sully x OC, in which they spend more and more time together thanks to Tuk, Kiri and Tsireya, the first ones to notice the strong and pure feelings they had for eachother.

Neteyam x OC - slowburn, rivals to lovers. Adopted by the Metkayina as a baby, Vaeli'ra is a striking figure of quiet intensity. Her movements are fluid and precise, a natural grace honed by years of reef and surf, yet beneath the calm lies a streak of unpredictability and fire. She speaks in sharp, poetic words-often calling out what others overlook, naming danger or deceit as poison. Trained as a warrior and teacher alongside her siblings Tsireya and Aonung, Vaeli'ra balances authority with instinct, guiding the Forest People through the tides of Metkayina ways. She carries herself with the confidence of someone who has survived storms both literal and emotional, though the memory of her origins lies hidden, a shadow in her blood she does not yet know. Her personality is a contradiction: fierce but reflective, chaotic but disciplined, wild in impulse yet tethered to loyalty. She challenges those around her with a sharp tongue and sharper mind, yet earns respect effortlessly. Beneath her warrior exterior is a subtle ache of belonging and identity, a yearning mirrored by the tides she calls home.

Neteyam, son of Toruk Makto, is ordered to guard her-to watch her, to decide if she is worth keeping alive. He wants her gone. She is everything he despises: ruthless, cold-blooded, and-by his belief-a disgrace to Eywa. This is a slowburn enemies to lovers story ⋆｡°✩
