    Summary

    Jake learned early that silence meant survival. Left behind in the foster care system after his brother was adopted, his childhood became an excercise of endurance, of violence, of illness, of being forgotten. The Marines offered him structure without questions, and when it took everything it could from him, it discarded him just as easily. By the time Pandora entered his life, Jake had already learned not to hope, only to last.

    Pandora was never meant to be home. It was meant to be an escape: a borrowed body, borrowed freedom, borrowed air. But as Jake is drawn into the Omatikaya, and into the orbit of Tsu’tey, he begins to realize that freedom is not the absence of pain, but the courage to be seen despite it. And for the first time, Jake must decide whether survival is enough, or if he is willing to risk everything to belong.

    Summary

    The only consolation was the wolf’s softness toward him. Alpha Hale could have taken him right on this very table in front of everyone and be in his full right to do so, but instead it was just that — his soothing palm on Stiles’ knee, his thumb stroking back and forth, his breath upon Stiles’ ear.

    Would he be gentle?

    Stiles glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. A scary thought had taken over his mind. Just one little word.

    Perhaps.

    Summary

    There's Shane, and there's Ilya, but there's also a baby.

    This fic takes place right after Heated Rivalry episode 6, follows Ilya and Shane as they deal with an unplanned pregnancy without altering who they are. Ilya is still Ilya, and Shane is still Shane. The only difference is that Ilya is pregnant.

    There are no ABO dynamics and Ilya is the one that is pregnant, opposed to the majority of mpreg fics in this fandom. This is a character-driven exploration of love, fear, and character realism with much higher stakes.

    That being said, I really hope you enjoy. Lots of love.

    Summary

    Back home, Neteyam was a hunter. An unparalleled archer of his age. An expert ikran rider. Here in the reefs of Awa’atlu, it was as if the waves had washed away all of his past—his training, his accomplishments, his stature. Everything except his family and their expectations, because above all else, he was an eldest son.
    But there was one thing he hadn’t lost to the water. His hands, that had made his bow from the remains of the Home Tree, that had made the visor he donned on his last ride from the mountains. His hands, that could weave and build. His skills of craft would always stay with him, and they could be just the thing to help the Sully family acclimatize to sea life—the way for him to protect his family.

    (In which Neteyam uses Na’vi craftsmanship to make gear for swimming.)
