Vawayani te Tawngunkay Ley'ä'itan comes from a proud family of warriors who swore to protect Toruk Makto and his family. But what happens when the forbidden happens and Toruk Maktos oldest son and Vawayani get too close?

✓ n.s + slowburn Under the care of the Olo'eyktan and Tsahik of the Metkayina clan, Tonowari and Ronal- you are destined for stability and warmth all around. Even when a strange family from afar seeks shelter, you were never one to act against sharing a home. Unlike some of the opinions of your clan members. • The eldest son of Toruk Makto has taken interest in you, the only doubt now is whether it is one sided or not.

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.

'Sometimes I fool myself into thinking you love me.' She stares up into his eyes. His hands pause in her hair as he holds her gaze, 'Sometimes I do, too.' It was undeniable that Alyara would play the role of Tsahik. Being favored by Netayam's grandmother, Mo'at, she was chosen as Neteyam's future mate. Alyara was perfect--she was tall, beautiful, strong, and kind. The whole clan loved her. And Neteyam never hated anyone more. (OCCASIONAL GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF WOUNDS AND TORTURE. SLIGHT RACISM?? TOWARD HUMANS) If you are looking for a quick romance, I'm sorry, but this is a definite slow burn! I have four main plots I'm focusing on: Neteyam and his struggle with war, life, and expectations; Alyara and her spiritual journey and feeling wanted; the ATWOW plot; and finally their romance. Once finished, this will be lengthy, with works of a second book!

The arrival of the Sully family on the shore of Awa'atlu brought a significant change to the Metkayina Clan. The oldest daughter of the Olo'eyktan and second in command, Etleyä, wasn't quite content with her father's decision to make her and her siblings teach the newcomers their ways. No one was aware of what their stay there would bring. How could they have possibly known the dangers that followed the Omatikaya family? And more importantly, how could Etleyä have known the way the oldest son of the mighty Toruk Makto would wreck her entire world? Not every soldier is meant to survive the battle. And Etleyä couldn't resist the tides of the forest.

For a long moment, he didn't respond. The glow of the valley reflected in his eyes, giving them a molten intensity I couldn't read. Then he leaned slightly closer, just enough that his breath brushed my cheek. "You... are testing me," he said, voice low, a growl threading his words. "And I... I cannot let you go. Not now." The words, the proximity, the weight of him against the glow of the valley... it made my heart hammer and my chest ache all at once. I could feel the restraint still there, barely holding back, but the tension was palpable. "Good," I whispered, voice husky, trying to keep my own control. "Because I'm not going to make it easy for you either."

A stolen voice. A guarded warrior. A world to reclaim. When Seya'ri awakens from cryosleep, she remembers nothing but her name - and the echo of a sister lost to fire. Raised in captivity by the RDA and preserved by the one human who dared to love her like a daughter, Seya'ri escapes into a world she was stolen from - a body she doesn't recognize, a forest that does. Guided through the chaos by a silent warrior named So'lek - the last of a forgotten clan - she begins to reclaim her place among the People. But Eywa does not restore without cost.

They took the Sarentu and therefore stole his peace. Now So'lek is hunting. There are no rules left to follow and no mercy left to give. He will pay any price, spill any blood, and will overcome any distance to find her. The hunt as begun, and this time, he doesn't play fair. -follows the events of from the ashes until it doesn't -spoilers!

Neteyam was supposed to die that night on the rocks. Yet he didn't. Saralyn, a young traveler saved him. She is an outcast, no clan and no belonging. The Sullys do not trust her, but when she is forced to stay with the Metkayina clan and the family, feelings change. Distrust becomes curiosity and eventually friendship. Even after the parents warnings the Sully kids don't stay away from her, forming a bond despite their differences. Neteyam is torn between loyalty towards his parents and their wishes and curiosity and gratitude towards the traveler. When he leans closer into their bond, he threatens to disappoint his parents and duty, but what if he just can't help himself? - all characters and the world belong to James Cameron, except for Saralyn and her family :)
