Heart of the Sea, Heart of the Land

Pairing: Kiri x f!Metkayina!reader

A/N: Y/N/N -> Your Na'vi name

Warnings: Angst, A hint of homophobia

Words: 2k

-> Requested

As the daughter of one of the Olo'eyktan's most trusted warriors, your path in life had always been clear. From the moment you were born, it was destined that you would become the mate of Tonowari's firstborn. But as you grew and came to know the true nature of Aonung, the young boy you were betrothed to, your heart began to heavy with dread. Aonung, with his haughty demeanor and cruel nature, had always been a bully, using his status as a clan son to torment others, yourself included. You still remembered that summer day, when he and his friends had descended upon you and your friends, throwing stones and sticks, cackling with laughter as they chased you. And as you lay bruised and trembling on the ground, Aonung's words still echoed in your mind, "You'll always be a weak little girl.”

But even as your friendship with Tsireya, the Olo'eyktan's daughter, brought some respite from Aonung's actions, the conflict between you and him never truly dissipated. It was as if he was trying to scare you away, so that your fate would be returned to your own hands.

The Sully's were not like the Na'vi of the sea, with their different hues and unfamiliar bodies and speech, they were captivating. Among Jake's two sons, a young girl caught your eye. Her wild, unruly hair was the perfect frame for her golden eyes that shone with curiosity. When your gazes met, your heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. But the moment passed quickly and you were brought back to reality, standing straight beside your future mate, Aonung, who was busy taunting the newcomers. Despite yourself, your eyes couldn't help but flicker back to Kiri.

From the moment you had the chance to introduce yourself to her, you felt a kind of connection that you had never experienced with another individual. A sense of familiarity, as if you were two pieces of a puzzle that had come together. You loved her sensitivity, the way she took in every bit of life on Pandora, the beauty that was reflected in her eyes as she took in the ocean. Jake and Neytiri's children were quick learners, quicker than you could have imagined, so that soon you and Kiri were scouring the ocean for little treasures to keep. One day, while Tsireya was helping Tuk to make contact with an ilu, you sat next to Kiri, who was looking pensively at the horizon. The soft sound of the waves washing up on the square gave the atmosphere a soothing quality as you told her the first Metkayina legend you had heard as a child.

"Long ago, before even the oldest of our elders can remember, there were two souls, one of the sea and one of the land. They were drawn to each other, but their worlds were so vastly different, they could never be together. But they were determined, and so they found a way to meet each other, in a secret place, hidden by the sea. They would meet every day, at the same time, and tell each other their stories, their hopes, and their dreams. And, as time passed, they fell deeply in love. But, as fate would have it, one day, the ocean took the soul of the sea back, and the soul of the land was left alone. But, even though they were separated, their love was so strong that it stayed alive, and it is said that, even to this day, if you listen closely, you can hear their whispers on the wind, telling each other their stories, their hopes, and their dreams." You liked this story very much, the image of two souls, separated by the world, but united by love.

"It's beautiful," Kiri said, her eyes focused on the sea. "Do you believe in it?"

You nodded, following her gaze. "I do, because it's stories like this that give us hope, that there's someone out there for us." Your heart was heavy with the knowledge that your own fate was not so romantic. "But that's still just a story," you said, your voice barely above a whisper. "In reality, I must be mated with Aonung." Kiri's face turned to you, an expression of sympathy and understanding for you. She placed her hand on your shoulder."I know this is what is expected of me, but I can't help but wish for something more. Something real and true." The girl tried to reassure you, expressing the fact that maybe fate wasn't what you necessarily expected.

With this last sentence, you left him, pretending you had to go see your family. In reality, you simply went to take refuge in your hut. You couldn't help but think of Kiri, of the way your heart beat every time you stood next to each other. You had never felt that way before, and that was what frightened you. Sitting there, lost in thought, you couldn't help but feel guilty. Your duty was to be Aonung's companion, no matter how you felt.

Tears began to prick at your eyes as you thought about the life you would have to lead if you followed through with the arranged mating. You couldn't imagine being with Aonung, not when your heart belonged to someone else. But at the same time, you couldn't bring yourself to hurt your family and your clan by going against their wishes.

You let out a sob as the reality of your situation hit you. You were trapped, torn between your duty and your heart. You couldn't have both Kiri and your clan, and the thought of having to choose between them was unbearable. As the sun began to set, you knew that you had to make a decision. You couldn't keep living in this state of uncertainty and guilt. You knew that whatever choice you made, it would be a painful one. But you also knew that you couldn't keep living a lie.

The next day, as the sun kissed the water's surface, you found Kiri by the stream that flowed inland. Sitting on the riverbank, your toes dipped in the cool water as you marveled at the natural beauty that surrounded you. In the time since her family's arrival, you had spent countless hours together, and had come to consider each other as dear friends.

"This place is truly enchanting," Kiri breathed, her eyes sparkling with wonder as she took in the serene landscape.

"Indeed it is," you agreed, a smile playing on your lips as you watched her delight. "I am so glad you are here. It is nice to have someone to explore this land with." Kiri turned to you, a look of gratitude in her eyes.

"I feel as if I have known you for an eternity."

But as Kiri looked at you, you couldn't shake off the feeling that was gnawing at your heart. You couldn't ignore the emotions that had been brewing inside of you, knowing that your future was with Aonung. You looked away, trying to conceal the turmoil that was brewing inside of you, yet Kiri seemed to sense it.

"Is everything alright?" Kiri asked, her voice laced with concern.

Taking a deep breath, you met her gaze. "I am not certain," you said, your voice thick with emotion. "There is something I must tell you."

Kiri looked at you with a sense of understanding and took your hand in hers. "You can tell me anything," she whispered.

As you looked into Kiri's eyes, you knew that you could no longer keep your feelings hidden. "I am in love with you," you murmured, your voice barely audible. Kiri's eyes widened in surprise, but then she smiled.

As Kiri's lips neared yours, your heart began to flutter with anticipation. Long have you dreamed of this moment, and now as it finally unfurled before you, it felt like a dream. Kiri's kiss was as soft as a butterfly's wing, as gentle as a summer breeze.

With each press of her lips, Kiri's kisses transported you to a world of sweetness and wonder. The delicate caress of her fingers, the melodic laughter that serenaded your ears, all came together to leave you breathless with ecstasy.

As the kiss came to an end, Kiri looked into your eyes and whispered, "I've waited for this moment for an eternity."

And you, looking back into her eyes replied, "As have I," before leaning in for another kiss, sealing the promise of forever.

From that moment on, you knew that Kiri's kiss was not just a mere physical act, but a sacrament, a sacred bond that bound your souls together. And you were ready to follow her to the ends of the earth, for in her arms, you found home.

The air was thick with tension as you were summoned to Tonowari's hut. Your parents, Ronal, Tonowari and Aonung stood before you, their expressions a mix of anger and disappointment.

"What is the meaning of this?" you dared to ask, your voice trembling as you tried to steady your racing heart.

Ronal stepped forward, her eyes filled with disgust as she spoke. "I saw you and that forest girl, Kiri, in a compromising position by the stream. You are betrothed to Aonung, yet you dare to bring shame upon our clan with such a vile and inappropriate relationship." Your heart sank as the reality of the situation hit you. You had known that your feelings for Kiri were a risk, but you couldn't help the way you felt.

As the accusations rained down upon you, tears of remorse streamed down your face. Your heart heavy with the weight of your pledged word, yet aching with the yearning for another. Ronal's demand for the breaking of the pact between families, a sharp knife to your already broken heart. Tonowari's voice, a beacon of reason amidst the storm, implored for calmness, yet the truth of your actions and their consequences could not be denied. Your parents' disappointment and Ronal's disgust, a heavy burden upon your shoulders.

"How could you do this to us?" Your mother's voice, filled with tears, echoed the betrayal she felt. "We raised you to be a good and honorable daughter of the Metkayina, and yet you bring shame upon us all."

The thought of causing your family pain, an unbearable weight upon your heart. Tonowari's words, a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil, "We must remember that Y/N/N is still young and her actions were not done with the intention of causing harm."

Your father's hand, a vice-like grip upon your arm, led you to the family's hut where the scolding and reprimanding lasted for several more hours. You cried throughout, your heart breaking as you were forced to give up the one you loved. The whole village could hear your sobs, and knew of your disgrace.

Your heart lay shattered, like the broken pieces of a once-beautiful vase, as you sat alone in your hut. Duty had called, and love had been forsaken. A lifetime of regrets and a broken heart, all that remained of the choice you had made.

Kiri too, sat in solitude, her tears a mirror of your own. Her love, now lost to a forced union, and a future in which every day would bring the painful reminder of what could have been. The village where you both lived, now a constant reminder of the love that had been denied. At the beach, you would occasionally meet, your eyes locking for a moment before turning away, hearts heavy with grief.

One day, unable to bear the weight of it all, you approached Kiri. Apologies spilled from your lips, but the damage had been done. "It's too late now," Kiri said, her voice barely above a whisper, "I can never forgive you for what you've done."

“My love for you will never die,” You tried but with those words, Kiri turned and walked away, leaving you standing alone, your heart and future uncertain. Love, now a distant memory, and a lifetime to live with the knowledge that you had thrown away your one chance at happiness.

I loved this beautiful Avatar 2 fanart of the characters of Aonung, Tsireya and Rotxo together as felines although they still have the tail of the Metkayina. I honestly loved it because they look amazing and incredible.

By the way, this beautiful fanart of the characters of Aonung, Tsireya and Rotxo as felines of Avatar 2 is not mine and the credits are not for me, but unfortunately I can't leave the Twitter link because apparently the artist deleted it, so... I can only leave you the Pinterest one so that you can find it

Preview: Gladiator Chapter 337

The battle in Gaoling has been waged by local rebels well before Toph's arrival: even so, the Blind Bandit's forces can turn the tides of a stalemate under her leadership. The earthbender makes a grand display of her power, and with it, she will seek to set her hometown free.

Aonu arrives in Harbor City, taking in the changes in Fire Nation society before reaching the Palace: Princess Azula has summoned him, for she has a challenging proposal for him, one that might just allow the stubborn earthbender to fulfill his grandest ambitions...

Gladiator 300th Chapter Celebration

Thank you @kigozula for organizing this event to mark the 300th chapter of this amazing fic!

Favorite…:

1. OC: Shoji, he’s a sweetheart!

2. Guard: Haoren, just for the way he roasted Fei Li in the Spirit Library arc (sorry Fei Li)

3. Gladiator: Sokka and Toph aside? Rhenzi.

4. Sponsor: Azula aside? Yang. He’s a riot.

5. Pair/Couple: Kori and Sneers

6. Friendship: Azula and Song

7. Villain/Antagonist/Opponent: Rhone. His story was quite interesting.

8. Suitor for Azula: Aonu

9. Place: Northern Air Temple

10. Event: Azula’s birthday (took place in part 1, but I guess it still counts)

Favorite Top Three…:

Kisses (in Part 2):

1. Fire Nation Festival #2 arc 7 (when they thought Zhao knew the truth)

2. Fire Nation Festivals #2 arc 7 (after they they learn that Zhao got the wrong idea)

3. Firelord for a week arc 4 (before facing Rhone)

Lovemaking:

1. Fire Nation Festivals #2 arc 2 (The Palanquin)

2. Return to Shu Jing arc 6 (the hot springs cove)

3. Gladiator and Sponsor Race arc 9 (Oma and Shu’s tomb)

This or That:

1. Part 2 or Part 3: Part 2, mainly because Part 3 is not finished yet.

2. Zuki family or Mai Jian family: Mai Jian family. Yuudai is hilarious. My inner 3 year old related to him a lot at Ty Lee and Haru’s wedding. And Ruon Jian and Mai are cute together.

3.Fire Nation Festivals arc or Anniversary arc: I can’t possibly choose, I’m sorry.

4. Captain Rui Shi or Captain Fei Li: Captain Rui Shi (again, I’m sorry Fei Li)

5. Ozai or Zhao: Zhao

6. Scavenger Hunt, Pairs Tournament, Gladiator Brawn or Sponsor Race: Damn, this one is so hard… I’m going with the Gladiator and Sponsor Race.

7. Appa or Xin Long: Xin Long

8. Sokka’s Squad or Azula’s Squad: Azula’s Squad

9. Mai or Ty Lee: Ty Lee <3

10. Shoji or Kino: Shoji

11. Haru or Ruon Jian: Ruon Jian

Others:

1. Place I’d like to visit: Ember Island

2. If I’d could give the Part 2 a title what it would be: True Home. Because in Part 2 they find their place of belonging near each other. Corny I know.

3. What I most look forward to: Sokka and Ozai’s confrontation/Azula meeting Hakoda and Gran-Gran

5. Fave artwork for Part 2: I love several, but the one that comes to my mind right now is the one where Sokka and Azula take part in the Spicy Ramen Challenge. Imo Seyary Minamoto writing really shines in the most humorous moments of the narrative. And Sokka and Azula being their ridiculously competitive selves over something like an absurd eating contest? What’s not to love?

Guessing Time:

1. Future ship: Soooo, sometime ago someone went to seyary’s inbox to ask her about Sokka and Yue’s future interactions in Gladiator and she answered that while they’ll form a friednship, there’s no room for a romance between them in this story. Then she implied that Yue will find love with someone else, so I sent my guess to Seyary’s inbox and going by her answer to kigozula’s post, I think I might be onto something. However, revealing my suspections might be spoilery, so I refrain from doing so.

2. When will Azula and Zhao get a divorce: I think that Ozai has to be dealt with first. But maybe the spirit oasis thing will be Zhao’s downfall.

3. Hakoda’s first meeting with Azula and Hotaru: Hakoda and Azula will have a very difficult conversation about Azula’s capturing Sokka and taking him alway from home. But after hearing Sokka’s version of the story, Hakoda will be able to forgive Azula. And he will be super emotional upon meeting his granddaughter

4. Ozai and Ursa reunion: Ozai might flip his shit

5. What Ozai’s future looks like: Hard to tell. I’m not sure if he’s going to die or have his bending removed like it happened in canon.

6. When Azula visits the South Pole for the first time: I hope to see her interacting with Gran-Gran, who’ll tell her all sorts of embarrassing stories about Sokka’s childhood. Azula will get lots of ammunition to make fun of him, he’ll state his so called manliness once again, and she’ll think it’s adorable

7. First thing Sokka and Azula will do upon reuniting: The two of them are horny as hell, so… Just kidding! Seyary posted that artwork where they reunite in a battle and make out, but I trust them to have a full conversation before jumping each other’s bones. There’ll be crying involved.

Quiz:

1. First Gladiator Sokka faced: The Spawn of the Volcano, I think…

2. How long they’ve been together: 3 years

3. First person to find out about Sokkla’s relationship: Rui Shi (If we’re taking that day in Shu Jing as the starting point of their relationship)

4. Who was onto them from the start: Song

5. Ozai’s first love: I don’t remember. In my defense, I still have some arcs left to read and I don’t exactly read them in order…

6. First event The Princess and The Blue Wolf participated in: Scavenger Hunt

7. How many times the Blue Wolf fought in the Slate:Twice

8. Which Azula’s suitor got closer to being crown prince: Out of all Azula’s suitors? Kuan, I guess…

9. How old were Aang when he was frozen in the Iceberg: I’ll just say 18, but I really can’t remember *hides in utter shame and humiliation*

Words for the author @seyaryminamoto

Dear Seyary Minamoto: I already told you most things I wanted to by sending some anon messages to your blog askbox. Well, now you know it was me. But I think it doesn’t hurt to repeat myself: I started reading Gladiator recently and I’m almost done with it, cause it’s addictive. It’s crazy to think you’ve been writing this story for so many years. Your dedication it’s really appreciated by your readers. I mean, it’s such a long fic and I’m amazed by your attention to every little detail, at how every aspect of the plot seems to be crafted well in advance. Like Azula telling Sokka about the bloodlust spear for the first time in chapter 46 when their partnership was just beginning, only for it to be brought up again years later at chapter 206! Or Sokka writing his haiku on chapter 37 and the very same words causing a powerful emotional reaction in Azula on chapter 276! I look back to the beginning of the journey and think about everything these characters have been through and how much they’ve grown ever since… it’s overwhelming! Can’t even imagine how it must feel for you. The characters and their universe might’ve been created by Bryke, but just by changing a small detail from canon you brought to life something that feels entirely new. Honestly, I wish I could read it all for the first time again, because I already reread my favorite bits so many times that I know them by heart now. Can’t wait to see what you have planned for the future chapters!

could you pls tell me some stories about the pretty things ? i’ve been reading about their escapades in new zealand and i find them so fascinating!

well!!! the idiots who nearly got themselves banned from a whole country!! sure thing hold on

phil may absolutely had daddy issues. I read his wiki page (usually I avoid reading the wiki pages of things I am Very Interested In it's one of my weird aversions) trying to find out how tall he was and apparently his mother remarried and he changed his surname back to may after that at some point I can't really remember lol! I never found out how tall he was

viv prince, the original drummer, got fired because he simply didn't show up anymore. later he joined the hell's angels and according to the back of one of my vinyl he was 'the only guy to ever get kicked out of the hell's angels' which is hilarious to me what did he even do

the album emotions wasn't meant to have as much production to it, that was studio interference, though while I think they were probably not that happy about it I don't actually know how much was voluntarily allowed

not strictly pretty things, but dick taylor quit the rolling stones (well ok it wasn't the stones Yet) to focus on art school. at art school him and phil may made a new band. he literally went 'you guys are idiots I'm out' only to arguably join an even bigger bunch of idiots

do I even need to mention the fact that phil may, brian pendleton, possibly also viv prince and brian jones all shared a house? because I will. literally obsessed with that fact (I don't actually know if either brian p or prince actually lived there, but it's mentioned in laura jackson's biography on brian jones that three of the pretty things lived in that house, and as both dick taylor and john stax lived at 13 chester street, or at least until they were evicted, and considering brian p left that jumper laying about...)

speaking of brian jones him and phil may travelled to stones concerts in a separate car to the other stones. that and brian literally running after the doorman of a hotel the two were staying at together to correct him after he'd greeting may as mick jagger. I've talked about that fact before but it drives my little brain absolutely nuts thinking about it. did brian have a type? long-haired brunettes??

one of the bassists for the pretty things in their s.f. sorrow/electric banana/pre-parachute era was wally allen. he was also in the marcus hook roll band. I don't know if he was just producing or if he played on any tracks off the top of my head. but of course, the marcus hook roll band had four different members of the young family and as aonus I'll mention that angus young was not meant to be there allegedly, he tagged along with malcolm, and he had to be coaxed into playing with beer and naked women. iirc he would've been about seventeen at the time.

and lastly how can we forget that certain parts of the usa banned don't bring me down because of 'implied sexual contact' in regards to the verse where a girl is brought home and they 'have a little rave'. but nothing was said about the fact that on the studio version of the song, where it definitely sounds like phil sings 'I need a lover/yeah someone new/and then to him/I will be true' and then even sings about even buying a wedding ring for his lover! trust me guys that's not gay at all!! promise!!!

anyway I hope I haven't told all these stories before!! I don't really have many sources. literally just what's mentioned in other biographies or in the liner notes of a few lps because I haven't been able to get my hands on any biographies or anything lol

#I'm half lying about not knowing how tall phil was I suspect he was somewhere between 5'8-5'10 #mostly because I think brian pendleton seems to be quite tall (y'know what that also means.#brian jones' striped jumper was /too big/)
