Because what would be Awa'txur without its infamous rivalry between the top students? Aonung, Neteyam, and me. Sometimes, one of us scores higher than the rest in an exam, sometimes there are some differences in our strengths and weaknesses, but ultimately: If you add our scores all up, we are all tied for first. Which is a problem. Because one must come out victorious. Only the very top student can earn a fully paid scholarship and sponsorship from the school to their desired university. And that victory is mine to take. I've vowed, I've prayed, and now I'm going to act on it.

Alya'ra knows loss, and she knows the sea, and the quiet. When the forest people arrive seeking uturu, she is forced to teach them what it means to not just survive the reef, but to live with it. Neteyam does not ask for kindness. She does not offer it. Somewhere between breathless dives and unforgiving tides, something begins to change. Somethings neither name or deny. 'Salt and Silence' is a fanfiction set during the events of Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash. While the story follows the movie's timeline, it introduces significant changes and focuses primarily on the journey of my Original Character (Alya'ra). Note: This story exists in an alternate universe where the character 'Spider' does not exist. Content Warning: This fic is intended for mature audiences and may contain gore, smut, depictions of war, and other sensitive themes. Specific trigger warnings (TW) will be provided at the beginning of each relevant chapter.

Between fire and forest, nothing should burn yet something does. Zahira was born in the Fire Clan, heir to a world where loyalty is paid in blood and freedom is dangerous. Neteyam comes from another people, another destiny. When their paths cross, Zahira discovers what she was never allowed to imagine : choice, doubt, freedom. But loving the enemy, dreaming of another world, is to betray everything she has ever known. Between traditions, wars, and secrets, their forbidden bond could change the balance of Pandora or reduce it to ashes. When duty clashes with the desire for freedom, some flames cannot be put out.
