Miles Quaritch failed his first mission to kill Jake Sully. Now, Bridgehead Command has a new mission for him and his surviving recoms, Wainfleet and Mansk. A mission to gather intel and make an alliance with the newly contacted Ash People, a Na'vi clan endemic to a volcanic archipelago. What's at first just orders will slowly come to change the young Colonel's life and his relationship with Pandora, his son, his enemies, and the RDA forever. Part 1 in the Avatar, A New Mission series. This large, slow-build story is essentially an Avatar 3 (with heat and flare!) through Miles Quaritch's eyes after the events of the Way of Water and continuing his parallels with Jake Sully. The story really expands to a movie-sized scope as it goes on. Features Miles' existential crisis and also flashbacks to when Spider was with the 1st Recom Unit. Recoms Lyle Wainfleet and Mansk are also greatly developed. Did my best to be logical and reasonable with the in-movies set canon, and sequel foreshadowing. There are a *few* instances of eventual smut, but there are content warnings and it is kindly written to be skippable if that's not your thing! : )

Throughout my entire life, everyone that I have loved has been ripped away from me. You're all I have left and I can't lose you too, not the way I lost them. I have to leave, not on for my own selfish reasons, but to protect you. They're out there looking for me-for something that I can't possibly give them, and I will not have you hurt because you're protecting me. I told myself I would never get attached to anyone ever again and you just waltzed in my life and broke everything. I can't love you, I can't be with you, I can't even look at you without seeing someone that will die because of me. Besides, you'll get over me. I'm literally an angel from Hell.

[COMPLETED UNTIL SEASON 5] Ana Thompson always seems to wind up in the strangest predicaments... A perpetual victim of Murphy's Law, Ana finds herself arriving in Hawkins, Indiana just prior to the events of November 6th, 1983. And, just prior to falling for a certain police chief with a boatload of baggage and a penchant for throwing punches.

The year is 1981, 2 years since he's been home. Jim Hopper is still in the process of handling his divorce, dealing with the new day to day from becoming the chief of police and doing his best to settle back into the small town of Hawkins. But Hannah King is the bur in his side that makes it all seem like an impossible task. (I really wanted to create an OC that had a past with Hopper that will return for season 3 only, and I felt like giving it a full fanfic of its own is the only way to really capture the bond before the chaos that is season 3. I want you to grow to love this character and get excited for her return. So... I've never done this before and the story will be completely my own, but the Stranger Things characters are not mine. I plan for this to develop into three books if I commit to what I really want to do.)
