"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. While it borrows elements from the original setting, it follows its own path and focuses primarily on the journey of the Original Character (Ke'leha).

As the eldest daughter of the Metkayina clan, Zeytira has to bear a heavy weight on her shoulders. But she has a strong character and knows how powerful her position can be. Her life is trouble-free, or at least it was until she met the 18 year old Neteyam, the oldest son of the Sully family. Will she still be able to play the role of perfekt oldest sibling? (Prepare yourself, it's going to get hot)

An'yeta is a fierce young warrior, convinced she's the most skilled hunter in her training group until Neteyam comes around. Her resentment blossoms from the threat that he is capable of taking her title as the best warrior. Their hate and rivalry grows deeply rooted until they burden each other with the faint knowledge that they actually care for one another more than they want to admit. This is an enemies to lovers fan fiction about my oc 'An'yeta' with Neteyam from the avatar sequels. It's a slow burn between the two, easing into the story, exploring how they actually feel about one another. There is: - action - adventure - heartache - jealousy - yearning - realistic details - romance I don't incorporate any cringe, tacky, or weird dialogue. I try my best to be faithful to each character in the avatar trilogy and respect their characteristics. I try my up most best to capture Neteyams personality as he is in avatar the way of water and fire and ash. I try to write as detailed as possible!
