Summary
Very dark flower grown from the seed of the now-deleted (I'm pretty sure) ghost of another man by freudianslipknot.
The RDA gets it into their little heads that the best person to take down Jake Sully is...Jake Sully. Introducing Corporal Sully, recombinant--all the charm, all the fire, not quite as many morals. And willing to fight for *his* new family with everything he's got, whether or not certain members of that family want him to.
Title taken from Mirror Traps by Hera Lindsey Bird.
Apparently a whole bunch of amazing people have gotten hooked on this verse, so you can check out the various spinoffs here (and possibly add your own, we're always looking for converts to the madness)
THIS SERIES HAS A MOODBOARD!!!!! by the amazing uniltiranyu.

Preacher's Daughter by Abbys2010

Summary
So... I'm writing a story based on the album but it's going to also be different. I'm making it wlw and also I'm not going to have Ethel Cain as a character. Basically it's about a girl who grew up in a very religious household. Her dad is a preacher and her mom doesn't work. She knows she likes women but she's scared... terrified of what they'll think. It runs over the whole story of the Preachers Daughter album.

You knew his name before you ever heard his voice. Word had been spreading like a fever — the new fella in town, come down from Texas. Drifter. Late 40's. Working on cars, fixing fences, drinking himself half to death by nightfall. No wife, no family. Trouble, they said.
or: You're the preacher's daughter, and it was inevitable, really.

Summary
“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”

Summary
A legacy was needed to preserve all of this. A legacy, their legacy, is what he had stated in his own words. They would be a magnificent army including a sword and a shield, the enforcements at their hand to delegate, and their beauty would be otherworldly. And above all else, they would be theirs.
No, she would not bear children, but she would have children, this he promised her.
Or: Father creates, but it is Mother who diligently raises; Dante deludes herself with the idea that she has done her best for her monstrous children.

There’s someone under the bed tonight.
Maybe there’s always been someone but tonight is the first time she notices, the first time she feels the soft, shifting movements, the little whispers and murmurs.
An instinct that isn’t her own whispers that she should stay away, that the thing down there might have sharp teeth and strange glowing eyes, but Kiri reminds herself she’s no different, and leans down to peer into the shadows.
There’s a Sky Boy waiting for me, one with a mess of dark hair and lost, tired eyes, blinking up like he’s forgotten what light is like. He’s got a small, stuffed creature under one arm, a ragged gap where its eye should be. His nails are bitten, like Lo’ak’s used to be when he was little, and his features are rounded in a way that reminds her of Tuk.
He’s muttering to himself, little fragments she can barely make out. Daddy loves me, daddy loves me, I’m his babyboy, Daddy– He’s cut off with a soft gasp as Kiri reaches down and pulls him out, settling him on the bed with her.
He blinks at her, frowning. “Who are you?” he asks. “Did he hurt you, too?”
Kiri shrugs. “A…a different way, but yeah.” He’d hurt her by hunting her, by being the vanguard for a force determined to burn her world to nothing, to break and destroy what it could not consume.
He’d hurt her by hurting the people she loved, hurt her with a gun to her head and a knife to her throat and rough hands reaching, he’d hurt her with whispers and threats and desire choking her, he’d hurt her as their minds fell together as she cut herself on the insides of his head. He’d hurt her by being unfamiliar enough to be cruel and familiar enough to be terrifying.
And he’s also hurt her by being her dad, by loving her wholly and gently, because love is such a perfect breeding ground for pain and what’s that old human saying about roads to hell and good intentions?
But the boy on the bed hasn’t done anything like that to her, and he never will, because he’s going to die here tonight, and the being that will split into two Jake Sullys will take his place. She strokes his hair, tucking a lock behind his ear, and whispers, “I’m sorry.”
He squeezes his eyes shut. “I’m scared.” The footsteps down the hall are getting louder, like they always do, thumping and thumping and thumping, and she wonders how anyone could survive living with that noise, when even a muffled reflection in a dream is almost enough to break her.
“I know.” She plants a kiss on his head and feels tears drip onto the places her hair mixed with his “I won’t forget you, I promise.” No one will and maybe that’s the problem, but she’ll hold onto him anyway.

"I thought about fucking you," Quaritch says calmly, like it's the simplest thing in the world.
Lo'ak's brain skitters to a stop. He gapes upward, eyes huge, words gone still and ash-cold in his mouth. He doesn't want to think of how young he must look to Quaritch right now, stunned and helpless as a fallen bird.
"I could bend you over the rail, right here." Quaritch reaches out, tucking a lock of hair behind Lo'ak's ear. "Fuck you until you wept, until you came, until you screamed my name loud enough for the whole universe to know where you belonged. Fucked you until you begged me to stop, and then fucked you while you begged me for more."
His fingers drum lightly on Lo'ak's cheek. "I could toss that pretty girl of yours to my men while I was it, letting the sailors have some fun with your sister. Ruin you all, each and every one."
Quaritch's is distant, echoing as if from far away. "I could write a whole new Gospel on you, in you, Luke. And when your daddy read it he'd know that he ain't the only one who can take a body that don't belong to him and use it for his own ends." His hand weaves through Lo'ak's hands, toying with the strands, and his eyes are brighter than the end of the world.

Bookmark Notes:
"Jacob, that's a Biblical name, too." Jacob. Of all the names Lo'ak has heard people use for his dad, no one's ever said Jacob, but it can't be anyone else. "It's another story. He ever tell you about it?"
"N-no." Lo'ak grits his teeth, wills his voice not to shake again.
"Didn't think so." Quaritch snickers, like that's funny somehow. "See, there are these two brothers, and their daddy's dying, going to pass his shit on to the older one--see, we humans, a lotta us are really protective of our stuff, we like to keep it in the family. That's what this guy wanted to do, preferably with his oldest boy."
"That's stupid," Lo'ak mutters, staring fixedly at the water.
"Well, that's what the younger brother thought, too. So, this brother--whose name is Jacob, in case you're wondering--goes in to see his blind, dying daddy, pretends to be his big brother, the special one, the favored one."
Favored. Lo'ak's mind flashes to Neteyam and he shoves the thought away. Eywa, he does not have time for this shit right now, any of it.
"This Jacob, he talks like his big brother, acts like his big brother, dresses up like him, even covers his arms with hair, ‘cause his brother was a hairy bastard." Quaritch hums. "And it works, can you believe that shit? He gets his daddy to bless him, give him everything."
Quaritch's hand shifts, resting directly over Lo'ak's heart. "Then Daddy dies, and big brother realizes he's been had and gets mad, you know? And Jacob has to run with his stolen goods, disappear."
Lo'ak licks his lips, wondering why his mouth is so dry. "Sounds a really weird story," he forces out. "It mean anything or you just rambling?"
The fingers on his chest spread wide. Five fingers, like Lo'ak's, like his dad's, like Spider's, five fingers pinning him like a captured fish.
"You know what happened to your Uncle Tommy?" Quaritch asks.
Uncle Tommy. Dad's twin, according to all the stories, his scientist brother with the big brain and the big heart. "He's dead," Lo'ak says slowly.
"That he is. Before he croaked, though, he was slated to go up to Pandora in an avatar body all his own. And when that wasn't an option, well...your daddy had less than nothin' going on. He was rotting down there on earth, staying behind while his big brother went to touch the stars."
Lo'ak's hands tighten on the rail. He presses his lips together, a heartbeat away from biting them bloody.
"We gave ol' Jake a new body." Quaritch's voice is sharpening, turning to anger. "We gave him the stars, we gave him the universe-- I gave him the universe, I showed him how we could rule Paradise together, make it our own. And he stuck a knife in my back, threw his whole race to the dogs, all to keep the shit he stole. Jacob, Jake, Judas, it's all the same thing."
His hands are pressing Lo'ak's ribs, hard enough to hurt, like he wants to rip Lo'ak open and dig his insides out, harvesting him like they did the tulkun. Quaritch breathes in, breathes out, his hand slowly relaxing.
"Technically," he murmurs, breath ruffling Lo'ak's hair, "Genetically, you're Tom Sully's boy, not Jake Sully's. That ain't your daddy we're waiting for, it's the ghost of your crazy uncle, running 'round in a stolen corpse. And he ain't gonna stop until you're all ghosts, too. Dead family for a dead man, and for you there's no coming back."
In the water, Lo'ak's reflection is a distorted, twisted mirror. He can see the shimmer of a body looming next to him, inescapable and endless.
"You're batshit insane," he says, each word careful and precise, fighting not to crumble. He doesn't say you're lying, even though it occurs to him a fews second too late that he should. Shouldn't he?
"Well, we all go a little mad sometimes, don't we?" Quaritch's fingers curl around Lo'ak's chin. "And some of us stay that way. It's easier."
