pairing: jake sully x fem!reader na'vi

word count. 616

synopsis. You have a nightmare, Jake comforts you through it.

shelli's note. divider credit on @saradika! go check out their blog :)

"Shh, it's just a nightmare.", said Jake next to you in the bed you shared. A drop of cold sweat ran down your forehead as you woke up while breathing heavily. You, still in panic, frantically looked around the room. Whatever you were having a nightmare about was still haunting you. It was etched on your face.

"Hey, hey. Look at me.", Jake added, placing his hand on your shoulder earning a panicked look from you. Which then softened, once met with his sweet gaze. His words laced with care.

"I- I thought-" The words coming out were a bit shaken up. You needed some time to calm down before speaking again. Running your hand through your hair Jake spoke.

"It's okay, take your time. I'm right here." Oh Eywa. How sweet he was, you thought. You took a deep breath and said again.

"I thought you were gone."

"You know I would never leave you. Ever.", he said with a soft voice. "You know that, right?"

"Yes, I know.", you replied, rubbing your sleepy eyes as your hair fell on your face a bit.

His gaze melted as he saw your vulnerable state. Your shut your eyes as you rubbed your temples to try and put your mind at ease.

"Got a headache, sweetcheeks?", he asked. His deep, husky voice sending a small shiver down your spine. Something that you could never get used to, but you definitely weren't complaining about.

He chuckled softly to himself. Something told you that he noticed your little shiver, but you focused on getting over this nightmare that so greatly haunted you.

"Srane." [Yes], you replied in a softer tone, your eyes still shut. Until they suddenly pried open, to yourself in Jake's arms, bridal style. It certainly caught you off guard but you eased into it a second later.

The woven hammock rocked just slightly. And the moonlight caused a darkness in the hut you both shared. It gave you comfort. Along with Jake's arms. His body radiated a warmth you wanted to surround yourself with.

As he laid on the hammock with you on top of him he let out a sigh of contentment. Without hesitation, your head gently rested on his broad chest. You could hear his steady heartbeat. It gave you tranquillity.

"What's on your mind?", he questioned while gently stroking your hair away so he could lay his eyes on your beautiful, azure face once again. "You said, you thought you lost me?"

"Why is that?", he continued, bombarding you with questions.

Your eyes still shut you responded, "I'm not sure, Jake." Your words come out with a big sigh of weariness. After the silence and his watch lurking on your face, searching for any emotion, you continue.

"I do not understand what I'm doing. I feel as if I make one foolish mistake and everything falls apart. This is what haunts me." Your mind starts to remember a few bitter memories from saying this, and your eyes begin to get glossier.

"Hey, hey, hey.", he whispered, cupping your chin softly to make you glance at him. "The only foolish mistake you making right now is not believing in yourself."

"Okay?", he asks, his gaze lingering on your lips more than your eyes for a second more.

"Okay."

Jake's eyes narrowed as he looked at yours, as you melt into his arms once again. He never got tired of feeling you in his arms. He felt as if Eywa herself made you how you are to fit perfectly into his hands.

Looking down at your face his lips curled into a smirk.

"I think I know how to make you feel better."

pairing: tsu'tey te rongloa ateyo'itan x fem!reader na'vi

word count. 413

synopsis. You're out hunting with your friends in the dead of night while Tsu'tey sits in bed, sulking, and craving your kisses.

shelli's note. The synopsis is a bit misleading, this is just fluff! All SFW! Enjoy :)

Tsu’tey tossed and turned in bed, lacking a specific maker of warmth beside him. He was waiting patiently for you to come back home, you mentioned you were out hunting with friends, but you still had not returned. His muscles were sore, his mind was racing, and he was left alone. Not being pampered with your kisses was a feeling he had never experienced until now.

His brows furrowed as he tried to fall asleep on his own. Before you mated he was never this needy, he was very independent. And now here he was in all his glory, not able to fall into slumber without you. If only the tribe heard that their best hunter was this vulnerable, how much they would talk. What a mess.

His mind went blank and he was finally half-asleep, still aware of his surroundings but in his own world. A half-hour later there was a huge thunk on the hut’s floor. A bow and a few dozen arrows dropped on the wooden ground as you treaded slowly over to a weaved bowl, used to store all your trinkets and beads. You took off every piece of jewelry down to every neckpiece.

Tsu’tey’s groggy eyes slowly opened to you in the hut, walking around. Soon after your eyes met with his, a warm and sleepy smile adorned your face as you walked over to the hammock. Tsu’tey’s arms spread wide, as a sign to embrace him to sleep. You chuckled, accepting his embrace and cuddling up close into his chest.

“I’m sorry for coming back home later than usual. The hunt was longer than we had thought.”, you mumbled to which Tsu’tey replied with a tired, grouchy, and low huff.

“Don’t be so grumpy, yawntu [beloved]. You know I love you so much.”, you continued saying, your voice laced with sweetness as you set soft kisses on his jaw.

“I’m not.. grumpy.”, Tsu’tey said in a low voice.

“Then what are you?”, you questioned with a visible smile.

“Tired.”

The sentence made you let out a small chuckle. “My baby. I left you here all alone with no kisses.”, you said, babying him as you kissed his neck and cheek. He became less tense, letting out a deep exhale as he melted into your body and the hammock with his eyes shut.

“I would be grumpy too.”, you said. Hearing this Tsu’tey’s hold on your waist became tighter as he put a little kiss on your temple.

DAMN RIGHT HE DOES.🙌

pairing: tonowari x fem!reader na'vi

word count: 1.9k

shelli's note. SFW angst, fluff, "so i decided to make this for those who needed closure, but overall i decided to stop it at part 2 because of the angst lovers yk.."

masterlist | part 1, part 2, alternate ending

Tonowari's day after your interaction wasn't the best one. He woke up with a headache and a lack of warmth next to him. You.

You were all he's ever known and when you were gone, he knew he'd faced the consequences of his actions. Looking back at what he said and did he felt like the worst person on Pandora. He cursed himself that night. And morning. And after that. And after. After that too.

It was lonely in his marui [Metkayina's type of house]. By himself with his thoughts. And depressing thoughts at that. Now he understood why you were so "clingy". He was gone most days and nights hunting with those poor excuses he called "friends". And you were cast aside in your mother's marui. Alone with your thoughts. Just as he was at the moment.

He knew he'd have to make things right. Even if you wouldn't forgive him. Tonowari wanted you to at least know that he truly felt sorry and that his heart ached for you.

Days flew by as Tonowari still did not get used to the pain. He was a mess. How could he control this village without his precious Tsahik?

"The nets should go on the western part of the island.", said one of the Awa'Atlu officials.

"I agree, it's best for the hunting.", said another.

"What do you think, sir?", they asked Tonowari.

"I think it's fine.", he replied harshly before standing up and making his way to leave the meeting.

Tonowari also heard a few whispers behind his back.

"Where is the Tsahik?" [Female leader, healer, and Eywa's speaker of a clan.]

"This village is a mess without her.."

"Maybe she got fed up with Tonowari's actions."

This earned them a nasty glare by Tonowari. He was already acting coldly to everyone due to the situation. He didn't need to be furious about it. The whispers said a few nervous apologies before Tonowari walked out.

But before he could trek more, a certain na'vi woman caught his eye. You. Oh, Eywa. How his heart ached for your love and touch once more. How much he wished to be in your presence again, you would never know. Or would you?

His admiration slowly rose to anger. He was supposed to be there right now with you. Helping you. Laughing with you.

Tonowari's quiet admiration was suddenly broken by a familiar face. One of his hunting friends.

"Tonowari, what are you looking at-..", their eyes slowly followed Tonowari's to see you. They scoffed and gave Tonowari a smug grin.

"There's no way you want her back?", they added.

Tonowari gave them a glare before saying, "Yes, I do. I realized I don't need kurkungs [assholes] like yourself to tell me what I should do with the love of my life."

He harshly dropped the heavy nets onto their arms. Causing them to stumble back a bit.

"Bring these to the western side of the island.", Tonowari continued before walking away from his "friend".

As Tonowari continued walking he caught eyes with you from a distance. It was like the entire world stopped around you. Leaving the both of you alone. Eywa, you wished you had not but your heart skipped a beat. You wondered if his did too.

You realized what you were doing only a mere two seconds later and quickly broke eye contact. Trying your very best to revert your attention back to helping your mother with her chores. But how could you revert all your attention back to chores when he was standing there all alone. Almost like he was waiting for you. You could feel his eyes on you.

And staring he was. He wanted to pick you up into his arms and tell you how much of a kurkung [asshole] he was and how much he loved you. And he was in fact waiting. He knew you would not come to him, but he hoped with the little hope he had that you would. And when you didn't, he sighed in defeat as he walked away, with his head down.

To win your heart over again would take many eclipses.

But then again, his heart yearned for yours for far too many eclipses as well. What could he lose?

For he had already lost the most precious thing that ever happened to him with a blink of an eye.

"He- He said that?", you asked your Mother. Your eyes widen as your mother explained the situation with her own eyes. Tonowari stood up for you? Apparently, while you were helping your mother with her chores, your mother was accidentally eavesdropping on Tonowari's conversation.

"Yes, Maite [daughter], with that stern voice of his.", your Mother said quite suggestively with a side-smirk and a playful jab to your side.

You chuckled softly. "Saʼnok [mother], what are you suggesting?"

"I'm not suggesting anything, my dear.", she paused as she thought for the right words. "Maybe what drove you two away was the lack of communication."

And with that she got up from her seat and walked out of the marui. You knew exactly what she was doing, chuckling at the thought of your mother hinting you some advice.

Was she right? You would just have to find out.

Tonowari breathed quiet breaths as he stood in his marui, glancing around at the quiet space, that he had created. His eyes fell onto that same seashell. He took it in his hand and sighed a big, long breath of exhaustion.

Some faint footsteps were heard, but he drowned them out.

Silence.

"You still kept it?" His ears perked up at the familiar voice. He turned around to see you, in the flesh. Standing in the marui you both had once shared.

He was dumb-struck. Mainly with the fact that you would even consider talking to him. And also that you came here, with such boldness. He gulped and knew he couldn't mess this up, you never said it but he knew this counted as a second chance.

He would be Pandora's biggest skxawng [moron, idiot] if he screwed up.

Tonowari blinked a few times before completed turning around to face you. "Yes- Yes, I did. I did keep it."

He was nervous. Avoiding eye contact like it was the plague. And you could see goosebumps forming on his neck. That was a little fun fact you picked up on when you were both caught kissing behind his mom's marui one evening years back.

Tonowari breathed a sharp inhale. He didn't know what to say because frankly, he didn't know why you were here. To tell him off? To make things right? Or something.. more?

"Come sit with me.", you said firmly. No stutter. Nothing. You made your way over just outside the marui. Sitting down in front of it, your feet and calves in the water. He complied quickly, sitting down next to you. Following you like a child would to their mother.

The next few seconds were pure silence. Not the kind of silence you would like to avoid. The kind where you could relax and get some pressure off by doing so.

You looked down at the water in front of you, staring at your reflection. In the reflection, you could see your face and a sad Tonowari glancing at you every half-second or so. Wondering if he should speak or be spoken to.

"I'm sorry.", he finally said. His words came out quieter than intended. He cleared his throat and looked at your face again. You said nothing and just let out an audible exhale of weariness.

You felt a hand on your chin causing your teary eyes to look into his.

"Yawntu [beloved], please. Look at me.", he said quietly. You bit your cheek.

"Why would you say those things about me, Tonowari?"

He took his hand off your chin carefully but you still remained gazing into his eyes. "That was foolish of me. Oeru txoa livu, yawntu. [I'm sorry, lover.]" He paused and then continued.

"I spent all my time on my work, and I didn't pay enough attention to you. And how sevin [beautiful] you are. I know that now."

He bit his tongue. Indicating he wants to say something bitter, but something that needs to be said.

"You deserve better than me.", he held his head low as he spoke.

"You don't mean that.", you muttered softly while repositioning to look at him as you sat.

"I do. And if I could take back all of what I said, I would.", his brows furrowed. "No. I will."

"I promise I will, I'll make it up to you."

You stayed silent. Promise, he says. Yet again, you're in the same spot. Just outside your marui, listening to him as he promises you something that you doubt he can give. Can he?

The sun began to set as it touched your azure features and his back.

The sky-people had this funny phrase they used. Second time's the charm?

"Okay.", you said, meeting his eyes.

"Okay?"

"I'll give you this one chance. You gave me your word. Your promise. Do not let me down, Tonowari.", you said with a bit of a pleading face but one that was soft. Your gaze softened as your eyes collided with his.

His face instantly decompressed. The wrinkles on the sides of his eyes pushed up. His lips shined a bright smile. Eywa, you missed it. His smile was something you never thought you needed but when you saw it, your body felt instant joy.

"Irayo." [Thank you], he suddenly pulled you in for a hug. It caught you off guard but you eased into it. Your arms wrapped around his back like a puzzle piece to another. Like it was meant to be.

"Nìprrte’." [Pleasurably; You’re welcome], you said back, your face buried in between his shoulder and neck.

Behind him you saw locals gazing at the exchange, smiling and conversing with one another. Was their cherished Tsahìk back?

The waves crashed gently with one another as the sun was high up in the sky. The perfect start to the perfect day.

The view pans over to a happy Tonowari.

"We should move hunting to the south side of the island. There are more fish there, even if the waves are large it'll be better for the clan.", said one Metkayina hunter.

"No way, our hunters will tire out in those waves before eclipse even hits! We should stick with the east side.", said another. They both looked over to Tonowari, expecting him to find a conclusion to the mess.

Tonowari cleared his throat and spoke up. "We will send our strongest to the south side. Our beginners and our less experienced will stay on the east side." His words sent joyful smiles to all the hunters and leaders. Tonowari's behavior had a big contrast to his behavior in the last meeting. From pissed and snarky to caring and kind. Regardless of this, they weren't complaining.

"Fyole!" [sublime; beyond perfection], said one of the hunters, happy with the arrangement.

Tonowari heard a few whispers behind his back.

"What's gotten him so joyful?"

"My my, Eywa must've heard the clan's prayers."

"The Tsahìk must be back."

But this time, the whispers only made him even more optimistic.

And back you were. His cherished, priceless Tsahìk. Which he had promised the world.

PLEASE READ. If you're a bit confused about why Tonowari is now feeling bad please read this. I know it's a bit of a cliche for the main love interest to so suddenly feel bad without even understanding the M/C's emotions. Tonowari actually did understand. In the time that he was alone, he realized that he thought you were so 'nagging' because he never even spent time with you. Since he only spent a few moments with you at the max, his image of you changed to you asking him to spend more time with him. Which resulted in him thinking you were so 'nagging'. He realized that he was a douchebag for thinking that way and he began to put the pieces together!

shelli's note. So.. I didn't expect His Promise to get that much love. Obviously, when my fics reach 1,000+ likes I get so stoked. It's amazing really, I'm genuinely thankful for the support.

shelli's note. SFW angst; attachment issues

masterlist | part 1, part 2

Tonowari stared at the shell with confusion. Once that confusion subsided it was replaced with guilt and sorrow. He crouched down picking up the shell and holding it tightly in his hand. You would wish he would hold you tightly in his hand like he did with the shell, but it wasn't meant to be.

It never was. Maybe you knew this from the start? When did he become like this? You thought in your head. One thought coming from the other. Were you truly a poor excuse in a wife? And a nagging one at that?

Clingy, they said. Is it so wrong to cling to your husband? Wasn't it truly the way of things? You did love him with all your heart, but you would start to think that you were far too attached to him.

Maite?

Maite..?

"Maite!", said your mother as she brought you out of your thoughts.

"What's wrong?", she added.

"Ah, I'm sorry Mother, I've just had a stressed day," you replied in a fainter voice, including a small voice crack due to your depressing thoughts.

Your mother gave you a small smile before taking whatever you were working on out of your hands and setting it down on the table.

"Go rest in your marui, I'm sure Tonowari will be waiting for you there.", she said softly with a smile.

Ah, yes. You had to go back to your home with the person you least wanted to encounter. You still had not told your mother about this interaction with your mate, and that was why you made up fake excuses to stay in your Mother's marui for the time being.

You gave your Mother a smile and a respectful nod and stood up, saying your goodbye as you lightly walked out of the marui.

The night time was always a peaceful time of day for all, but not for you.

You trekked silently along the village, worrying about not waking anybody from their slumber. Once you reached your marui you let out a sigh and had a deep breath. Tonowari had to still be out with his companions hunting, right?

You walked in and were greeted by a familiar face, your mate. He sat along the bed you shared, sharpening his spear and focusing his attention directly on it. Oh, Eywa.

He stopped and raised his head taking a look at you. You shared eye contact, which was silent. Although, your eyes spoke volumes.

Both of you stayed like this for a few seconds before he reverted his attention to his spear once more. Although, there was a bit of guilt marked on his face, something you could not see.

You clenched your fist and let out a small sigh and spoke.

"Am I really this clingy and irritating to you like you speak of?"

Why would you say that? Eywa please help me, you thought. Maybe you should've stayed silent. But you continued.

His eyes quickly came to yours, with that same silent eye contact. He looked lost for words, this you could see.

"Please tell me that at least a part of this was real, Tonowari.", you spoke in whispers, holding back a tear.

"Speak Tonowari, please."

"You made a promise.", you continued.

These words shot daggers into his heart. He was so used to his quiet and loving wife. Why did he feel all this sorrow deep in his heart if he believed you were so irritating?

"I'm.. I'm sorry.", he spoke quietly.

"What are you sorry for?"

"For everything, for what I said. And for how I acted.", he said breaking the eye contact, for he couldn't bear to see the pain written all over your face.

He dropped his spear and stood up, coming close to you, so that both your waists were almost in touch. As he towers over you, you feel a wet tear rolling down your face. Not yours. His.

He raised his hand and stroked a piece of your hair gently.

"I don't know how to love you… but I'm ready to try.", he speaks.

"No. We're finished, Tonowari. You do not love me.", you reply, tears now visible in your eyes.

You get out of his grasp.

"I'm leaving.", you grab your things, clothes, anything you could possibly snatch in those 10 seconds. You spot your seashell on the table. The seashell he gifted you. Your disdainful gaze softened a bit at the sight, before you grabbed that as well. You shoved everything in a basket before going in front of him again.

"Please, yawntu, I will try and I will be better. I-", he said and you cut him off.

"Don't, please.", you winced a bit at his words. "Don't make this harder than it should be." You grabbed his hand, gently although you wish you hadn't. You placed a familiar seashell in his hand, and closed his finger, making his grab the seashell in his hand.

"Goodbye, yawntutsyìp."

"Goodbye, Tonowari."
