TLDR: Metkayina fem reader x aged-up Aonung oneshot SMUT🌶. TIMELINE: After the beach brawl in ATWOW. YOUR ROLE: Aonung's female Metkayina childhood friend with a sort of enemies-to-lovers vibe, except you are at that point where you both finally get together. You are also both ✨️virgins✨️ but not for long. NOTES: You don't have a name in this oneshot but I never called you "Why-En," to make this cringe-free. I imagined Aonung to be 18 years old while writing this, but I never really stated how old he is in the narrative so you are free to imagine him in the age you want. But I did call him a "man" a few times, so there's that. The story is one continuous scene (8.5k words), but I divided it into parts so you know the third one is your favorite and can come back to it when your nights get long and boring 😉. (Pls forgive my use of triple hyphens because dumb Wattpad changes my emdashes into hyphens) 💕Enjoy the smut~

Idk what to make of this story yet. I'm just writing this to take a break from my avatar fanfic. So far we have the dryad guy Spruce lying on the grass in the sunset. That's it.

(MUST READ FIRST: The Way To Save You series up to Book 3) What if Taran had survived the escape from the Mangkwan? An alternate universe to my alternate universe Avatar fanfic (The Way To Save You) set in the year 2169 of ATWOW timeline. lol If this ends up tragic as well, I might just write another alternate universe to this alternate universe of my alternate universe of the canon Avatar universe.

• Book 4 out of 4 of "The Way To Save You" series. Two years after another wave of RDA reinforcements fueled the warring flames of Pandora, the twenty-year-old Hiraya has transitioned from a Terapatxi survivor to a battle-hardened leader of her own squad. While she navigates the escalating war, she discovers a new faction - a strategically organized, cultish clan who worships her regenerative gifts as a divine miracle. Compounding this burden of unwanted godhood is the sudden, impossible return of a friend she thought was lost forever. Forced to confront a recurring nightmare she could never quite escape, Hiraya must fight to keep her grip on the future she envisioned with Neteyam, and push through the grappling forces of survival, diplomacy, clan duty, and leadership. (Warning: Contains Avatar - Frontiers of Pandora Game Spoilers)

• Book 3 out of 4 of "The Way To Save You" series. Three years after the events of the Battle of the Cove of the Ancestors, the Mangkwan expansion threatens the peace of Pandora. Eighteen-year-olds Neteyam and Hiraya are then thrust into leadership over a volatile six-person strike team. Tasked with liberating slave outposts, the squad must integrate the Sully family's tactical brilliance with the grit of their fellow High Camp warriors. ​However, the team's greatest challenge isn't the enemy, but the biological cost of connection per healing, and the quiet tragedies Hiraya unearths of her late brother's past. ​Faced with the erosion of her privacy, her sanity, and the judgment of her peers, Hiraya must decide if she will grievingly retreat into isolation or redefine what it means to be a core member of the team - without giving up her role as the beloved half to Neteyam's heart.

• Book 2 out of 4 of "The Way To Save You" series. Hiraya te Salem Ka'art'ite has finally found a flicker of light in the blue depths of Awa'atlu. Under the protection of the Sully family and the steady hand of Neteyam, the fifteen-year-old sole survivor of the Terapatxi is learning to breathe again. But peace is a fragile thing for a ghost. ​When a ruthless shadow from her past appears on the horizon, Hiraya must stand her ground against a recurring nightmare and uphold her pride as a Terapatxi warrior. For the sake of an outcast friend, she must also choose whether to hide herself back into the shadows or to fight for what she believes is right - even if it means standing alone against the tide. In a journey of a deeper exploration into her identity, culture, a trauma with a past tormentor, and her relationship with the golden son of Toruk Makto, will the love between her and Neteyam prevail? Or will it be snuffed out by the unrelenting challenges for survival?

• Book 1 out of 4 of "The Way To Save You" series. Hiraya te Salem Ka'art'ite, the last of the nomadic Terapatxi, has chosen the shadows. A survivor of the RDA's cruelest experiments, the fifteen-year-old Hiraya knows a bitter truth: in a world at war, her mutated blood is not a gift - it is a prize to be exploited by humans and Na'vi alike. Her carefully guarded solitude is shattered when a stranger stumbles into her sanctuary. He doesn't come with shackles or syringes; he comes with a gentle smile and a name that carries the weight of a legend. "I am Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan. Son of Toruk Makto. It's nice to meet you, Hiraya." ○●○●○●○ This Avatar - Neteyam AU fanfic: • is currently undergoing rewrites to "make it make sense." (AKA cliché scene removals lol) • has heavy world-building. Expect long chapters in the revised ones. (Avg. 7k words each) • is canon-compliant (save for the author's own interpretation of incomplete souls and Spirit World rules). • is written in switching 3rd person POVs. • counters Neteyam's canonical death in ATWOW. • is made by an author who loves pictures (so pls read online for the full experience ♡) ○●○●○●○ Sample passage from this book: "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."
