Where the ocean runs deep and the sky never lets go, two worlds collide. He belongs to the land. She belongs to the sea. Some bonds are written in water. Others are strong enough to drown in... And some currents cannot be resisted. Oc/Neteyam story (I do not own anything here minus a few characters and scenes I have added. The storyline follows the original script more or less.) MA for later chapters.

Characters are aged up. Warnings: a LOT of spoilers (don't come at me for it), Lo'ak being a shxawng, violence, injury Readers name is Stela, and uses she/her pronouns. Final word count: 12889

Only 15 chapters but they're long don't worry :) "I'm still alive because I still had things to do, still had people to meet, our Great Mother wished it so much she breathed life back into me. I am still alive so that I could meet you, so that I could love you." For 6 months Neteyam Sully was held by the Spirit Tree of the Metakayina, heart still beating as Eywa slowly healed his body and breathed life back into him. No one knew why or how, but the Great Mother was persistent in saving the boy. 5 years later Neteyam is 20 years old and the threat of humanity lingers once more, but this time, this time they must finish it, once and for all. And it starts with the Kanako clan of the mountains.
