    • Book 1 out of 4 of "The Way To Save You" series. Scrapped the old summary. Here's a quick one: We have a purple Na'vi heroine, age 15. Her clan's dead. She survived 7 years of RDA experimentation. Mutated to have rapid regeneration. Her healing can be shared via blood-contact and tsaheylu. She escaped. Got caught by Mangkwan, turned into a slave healer. She escaped. Ultimately meets Neteyam and saves him when he gets shot. Story begins at the part where girly has already escaped the Mangkwan, and Neteyam and Lo'ak are just about to be promoted as scouts for the train raiding scene in ATWOW. This is an immersive longfic with World Building x 100 because I included references from the comics and from so many avatar wiki pages which I also explain in detail at bottom notes for those of you who only watched the movies. This Avatar - Neteyam AU fanfic: • is currently undergoing rewrites to "make it make sense." • has long chapters in the revised ones. (Avg. 7k words) • is canon-divergent (includes author's own interpretation of incomplete souls and Spirit World rules). • is written in switching 3rd person POVs. • has lots of photos and terminology lists for your convenience (though I recommend reading this on AO3 where the terms are html embedded to tumblr redirects for quick definition) A SAMPLE OF MY WRITING (from an unrevised chap): "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."

    CeoxAssistant|gxg|slowburn|15 years age gap He leaned over her desk for fourteen minutes. Amalia didn't remember his name by the time Nadia was done with her. "What's his name?" "I don't knowww" Amalia whined. "Good girl." She wiped the smudged lipstick from Amalia's mouth with her thumb like a statement. Then walked the entire length of the office, poured water, walked back. Set it down. Amalia looked at it. Looked at Nadia. Raised both shoulders toward her ears and turned her face away. "You're being ridiculous, Amalia." But Amalia didn't budge. Nadia picked her up. Sat back down with Amalia settled against her, tipped the glass to her lips, kissed her once between every sip. Unhurried. Like this was completely reasonable. It was the most spoiled thing Amalia had ever allowed. She allowed all of it. "More." she said when the glass was empty. "Brat." "Your brat." Nadia didn't answer. She didn't have to. She just went to get more water. Amalia Peters. 20. Never carried her own bag. Never pumped her own gas. Never eaten a meal that wasn't placed in front of her like an offering. Beautiful. Brilliant. Completely aware of both. Then June took her parents and left her in a house so quiet she talked to empty chairs. She got a job not because she needed money because the silence was unbearable. She pouted through the entire interview. Got hired anyway. Nadia Crane. 35. Looks 25. Stopped being flattered by that around thirty. On paper - CEO. Empire builder. Never raises her voice. Off paper - cargo that moves at night. Contracts nobody signs twice. A stillness that has ended careers, companies, and at least three men's entire futures. She runs several companies. Only some are legal. She watched Amalia Peters sigh at a waiting room chair like it had wronged her ancestors. And hired her on the spot. Her parents spoiled her. Her boss ruined her beyond repair. #1 in spoiled. #1 in intersex. #1 in gl. #1 in lesbianlgbt #1 in sapphic

    In the halls of Hogwarts, Elodie Delacroix is a rare and fragile thing - clever, untouchable, and hiding a devastating secret behind her Ravenclaw grace. When she clashes with Mattheo Riddle, what they have ignites into something far more dangerous than hatred, the lines between enemies and obsession begin to blur. He is the dark heir, all sharp edges and forbidden shadows. She is moonlight wrapped in thorns, beautiful enough to ruin him, broken enough to destroy them both. As the school years stir old dangers and new temptations, their slow-burning rivalry threatens to consume everything. Because some flowers only bloom in darkness... and some riddles were never meant to be solved. An intoxicating tale of forbidden desires, hidden grief, and the exquisite ache of turning hate into something far more deadly.

    ✦ 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐚𝐝 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟏𝟎 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 Do you ever wonder where we go when sleep overtakes us? Between breath and memory lies Revnium-a liminal realm where lost moments flicker like constellations, forgotten names wait to be written, and travellers wander unknowingly beyond the veil of the waking world. At its centre stands Ellen Acacia Haynes, a girl with kaleidoscopic eyes and an enchanted quill. Once, she was only a child in the impoverished village of Melsa: a daughter trying to hold her family together, a sister promising Solace that they would never forget one another. Then fear turned difference into accusation. Acacia was imprisoned for witchcraft, abandoned beneath the village, and left to die for a crime she never committed. When the stars finally answered her, they did not offer mercy. They offered a bargain. Now suspended between mortality and something far stranger, Acacia must learn to preserve the stories time would otherwise erase even as she struggles to hold on to the family, memories, and name that once made her human. This edition contains a reconstructed glimpse of Revnium's earliest surviving chapters, rewritten through the voice and atmosphere the story eventually found. It is not the complete current manuscript or final canon edition, but a legacy record of where Acacia's journey began. A girl beneath the stars. A brother who kept looking. A realm built so no life would vanish unheard. If memory hurts, do we still choose to keep it? 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆.

    *Monster SPIN OFF* Years go by and the core four finally graduate college, at least to their knowledge. Jase and Shane decide it's best to move out of Willow Water and start over in Midnight City where there's more schooling and job opportunities. They invite Cole along as well since they all have some saved up money. So, they do just that. Kace comes along with them and he's stuck in the dilemma that he'll have no friends in high school. Sure there's Phillip, Olivia and Jackson who all now live in Midnight City, but do they all still want to be friends? Or is it forced trauma bonding from the infection? Phillip is eager to have Kace move to Midnight City because Olivia and Jackson barely talk to him and maybe the two of them can relive some old childhood game boards. Only, Abigail is hiding the fact that she's on the verge of losing the apartment and is trying to quickly make up a plan with Finn to let them live with him. He has the room and he's offered multiple times, but what if he takes back his word? Olivia and Jackson are still grieving their late sister. Olivia is taking it harder than Jackson is but she's also the only one open about her emotions. Finn put her in therapy because he can't balance taking care of the two, his job and his own health. He cares about her but her grief is worse than her twin brother. Meanwhile, Jackson is focused on fixing his future. While the two of them have the fortune to go anywhere and not worry about money, he still wants to make enough to have a good life. He just struggles to find the balance to focus on himself and help his sister. Only once Kace and Phillip come back into his life, suddenly it's as if she isn't his problem anymore. *WARNING: Story contains mention of self-harm, domestic abuse, vague mention of sex

    When Noah was only four years old, his father died suddenly from heart disease. The grown-ups told him that his father had gone to heaven, and Noah tried his best to believe them. But as the years passed, a quiet emptiness began to grow inside him. A familiar laugh. An empty chair in the yard. A child holding his father's hand. Small moments that seemed ordinary to everyone else became painful reminders of the one person Noah could never forget. Without fully understanding his own grief, he begins to believe that somewhere beyond the clouds, his father is waiting for him. What starts as the innocent hope of a child slowly becomes an impossible dream-to find a way to reach heaven and bring his father home.

    If there is one thing that is permanent other than change, it is death - the one thing that Lily can only predict but cannot prevent. On her twentieth birthday, only a year after her grandmother departed, she was granted a new way of life, bounded between the living and spiritual realms. For five years, that has been her life while pleading the heavens to not take her loved ones from her again - at least not for quite some time. Just until she readies herself. But death does not wait for anyone to feel ready, and so does time - and by that, the heavens agree in absolute. They take a soul when its clock has stopped ticking, without any hint of reluctance like a thief in the night. They strike with stealth. And Lily is yet to be another victim-again. In a month, she is to accomplish her mission, catching unawares that the last person she will send off to the afterlife is the only family she has left: her best friend. Will the time given be enough to make more lasting memories together? Will Lily be able to let go when the time is up? Or will she fall prey to the maddening embrace of grief's eternal blues? - This, is not just a tale of goodbyes but also of finding beauty in the presence of grief. Date started: 09.07.26
