"Ke'leha?" Ke'leha's breath hitched. For a moment, the rage between them seemed to vanish, replaced by the ghosts of two children. She looked up at him, her gaze finally focusing past her rage. She saw the way his eyes, those glowing embers, searched hers with a desperate, familiar kindness. She tilted her head to the side. "Neteyam?" she whispered, the name sounding foreign and heavy on her tongue. His grip loosened completely, his weight standing from her body. "You're... You're alive?" Ke'leha stood right after, her hand clutching her side. "Why do you have to ruin everything?" she hissed, leaning back against a rock to catch her breath. Neteyam looked at her, to the burn marks that were now visible beneath the smudged paint, to the way her shoulder bled from his arrow, to her face that he couldn't recognise. "You're alive." he stated again, grabbing his broken bow and sitting down on his heels on another rock. The silence that followed was heavier than the humid air of the ravine. ~~~ Ashes and Absence' takes place in the world of Avatar, but diverges from the canon storyline.

Will So'lek be able to save the love of his life? or will he lose it all.... This story is a crossover between Solek and Tamtey and Jake and Neytiri.

Ney'ite always knew her role in the Sully family. She was the eldest daughter; she would be the one to protect her siblings from the rest of the world no matter the cost. When the Sky People return, Ney'ite's world is turned upside down and her family is forced to flee and take up refuged among strangers. Thrust into a new world, Ney'ite must adapt to learn the way of water. With war looming and her heart confused, Ney'ite must grow into who she was always meant to be.

The mountains remember her shadow, but the ocean has claimed her heart. Two years have passed since the Sully family sought refuge in the reef, and a fragile peace has settled over Pandora. But the war has not ended; it has only changed frequency. Nin, the eldest daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri, is being hunted by her own mind. A blinding, sterile white light has begun to bleed into her waking hours, accompanied by a rhythmic, mechanical thud that no one else can hear. It is a physical weight behind her eyes, a static hum that warns of a danger she cannot name. When a sickly grey silt begins to choke the life from the Delta waters below, bringing with it whispers of a new RDA devastation, Nin knows the warning is real. Driven by the need to protect the peace she has finally found with Ao'nung and the fragile ecosystems of the lowlands, Nin descends from the safety of the High Camp into the suffocating humidity of the Delta. But the enemy waiting for her is not one she can fight with a bow. It is a trap of static and steel designed not to kill, but to unmake. Stripped of her weapons and severed from the song of Eywa, Nin is forced to endure a dismantling of her very soul. With Ao'nung as her only tether to the world she once knew, she must find a way to rise from the wreckage of her own identity. She went into the dark as a protector. She will emerge as the very viperwolf she was once named for: deadly and hungry for blood.

She was the smoke Jake Sully left behind. For Sa'neyra, Toruk Makto was never a hero. He was the man who brought death to her forest and fled to the ocean, leaving her world in cinders and her people in graves. Driven by the echoes of a slaughtered clan, she infiltrates the Metkayina with a jagged purpose: to make the Great Leader feel the cold weight of everything he has stolen. But her plan has a flaw she didn't see coming. Neteyam. Patient, observant, and frustratingly alive, he is the only one who sees through her mask. In a world of endless light and water, Sa'neyra must decide if she can still kill the father when the son is the only thing keeping her heart from shattering.

• Book 1 out of 4 of "The Way To Save You" series. Scrapped the old summary. Here's a quick one: We have a purple Na'vi heroine, age 15. Her clan's dead. She survived 7 years of RDA experimentation. Mutated to have rapid regeneration. Her healing can be shared via blood-contact and tsaheylu. She escaped. Got caught by Mangkwan, turned into a slave healer. She escaped. Ultimately meets Neteyam and saves him when he gets shot. Story begins at the part where girly has already escaped the Mangkwan, and Neteyam and Lo'ak are just about to be promoted as scouts for the train raiding scene in ATWOW. This is an immersive longfic with World Building x 100 because I included references from the comics and from so many avatar wiki pages which I also explain in detail at bottom notes for those of you who only watched the movies. This Avatar - Neteyam AU fanfic: • is currently undergoing rewrites to "make it make sense." • has long chapters in the revised ones. (Avg. 7k words) • is canon-compliant (save for my own interpretation of incomplete souls and Spirit World rules). • is written in switching 3rd person POVs. • has lots of photos and terminology lists for your convenience (though I recommend reading this on AO3 where the terms are html embedded to tumblr redirects for quick definition) A SAMPLE OF MY WRITING (from an unrevised chap): "Listen to me," Neteyam said, his focus narrowing entirely on her, his brows furrowed with genuine concern. He shifted, his hand moving to cover hers where it rested, white-knuckled and trembling against her thigh. Her skin felt fever-hot against his palm, a sharp contrast to the cooling spray of the sea. "Focus on this," he told her, keeping his voice low and steady to cut through the sound of the surf. He needed her to stop staring at the horizon with those dead eyes. "Feel the weight of my hand. The salt on your skin. You are here, Hiraya. Right now. You're with me, and we're above the surface. Stay in the light."

Under editing 🪼 Tirey'te, the first daughter of Jake Sully and Neytiri, grew up with a deep sense of duty. Her sharp gaze reflects a fierce determination: no matter the danger, she will protect her family. More driven by action and faith, she instinctively stands between those she loves and any threat, ready to fight before thinking of herself. The story and all the characters ( apart Tirey'te) belongs to James Cameron.

Born to fire and raised in smoke, T'sara is the daughter of Varang, fierce leader of the Mangkwan - a clan that does not bow to Eywa. But T'sara does. She feels Eywa in every breath of wind, in every drifting atokirina, even if her people mock what they cannot see. When a battle in the skies leaves her stranded in the forest, she crosses paths with Neteyam - the golden son of Jake Sully and Neytiri. He is everything she was raised to distrust. He is everything her heart refuses to fear. As tensions rise between clans and old wounds threaten to reopen, T'sara must decide: remain the warrior her mother shaped her to be, or follow the quiet, dangerous pull of love. Because believing in Eywa may cost her everything. AFAA remake All rights to James Cameron

Sylwanin has always carried the weight of two worlds - the daughter of Toruk Makto and the warrior Neytiri, born with the storm-colored eyes of a human and the spirit of the Na'vi. Haunted by visions of a past she never lived and a future she can't quite see, she's the steady heart of a family caught in the crossfire of legacy and loss. When the Sky People return and her family is forced into exile, Sylwanin must leave behind the only home she's ever known - her forest, her People, and the fragile pieces of herself she's fought to hold together. In the sea, she finds a clan that does not welcome her... and someone who sees her anyway. Someone who challenges her fire with calm, her solitude with silence, and her fury with a patience she doesn't yet understand. As the war creeps closer and fate begins to unravel, Sylwanin must decide if strength means standing alone - or daring to love in the calm before the storm. #1 in Kiri- October 2025 #1 in AvatarTheWayOfWater- January 2026
