Grieving Stories

• 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-compliant (save for my 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."

• 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?

Në një pyll të vogël, një pemë e lashtë mban në trungun e saj një zgavër të krijuar nga rrufeja. Prej vitesh, njerëzit lënë aty letra për ata që kanë humbur, për ata me të cilët nuk flasin më, ose për fjalët që nuk patën guxim t'i thoshin kurrë. Tesa Arden shkon te pema për të lënë një letër plot zemërim. Por një letër tjetër bie në këmbët e saj. Është e vjetër. Nuk ka emër në të. Dhe fjalët që gjen brenda duket sikur të jenë shkruar posaçërisht për të. Tesa kthehet përsëri. Dhe përsëri. Sepse sa më shumë letra lexon, aq më e vështirë bëhet të besojë se gjithçka është thjesht rastësi. Ndoshta pema nuk ruan vetëm letrat e njerëzve. Ndoshta di edhe kujt t'ia japë.
