꧁ ⟡ STORY DESCRIPTION ⟡ ꧂ When the forest becomes a battlefield, the ocean becomes a refuge - but refuge does not mean mercy. Lor'eya, daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri, is forced to leave the only home she has ever known when the sky people return with fire and blood. The Sullys flee to the distant reefs of the Metkayina clan, where the water is endless, the rules are unforgiving, and the forest girl does not belong. There, Lor'eya meets Ao'nung - proud, sharp-tongued, and everything she despises. He is tasked with teaching her how to survive the sea, and from their very first encounter, sparks fly - not of attraction, but of rivalry, resentment, and unspoken tension. Every lesson becomes a battle. Every argument drags them closer to a line neither of them is willing to cross. She fights the water. He fights wanting her. As danger closes in and loyalties are tested, hatred blurs into something darker, deeper, and far more dangerous than love. In a place where breath is borrowed and the tide remembers everything, two enemies must decide whether they will drown in denial - or fall together beneath the same sea. Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. Angst. Avatar: The Way of Water inspired. ꧁ ⟡ Some ties are not chosen - they are pulled by the tide. ⟡ ꧂ Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar or its characters. This is a fanfiction written for entertainment purposes only. I do own the female protagonist, Lor'eya.

"Lady, runnin' down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side..." A girl of two worlds and a daughter of neither. Too forest for the sea, and too sea for the forest.

As the future Olo'eyktan of the Metkayina, Aonung prides himself on control-over the reef, over others, over himself-until Kel 'Hani disrupts it with a single laugh and a look held too long. She tells herself she dislikes his arrogance; he tells himself she's too stubborn. Yet the space between them tightens all the same, heavy with things unsaid and moments unfinished. Where restraint is tested, denial becomes habit, and the sea quietly shifts along with something neither of them is ready to face.
