    Summary

    My attempt at describing the thoughts of Lo’ak as he walks down that beach in that one scene.

    It’s his fault, isn’t it? That Neteyam is dead, that his family is suffering. There’s one way to put an end to it- and that’s to put an end to him.

    But he can’t even do this one thing right.

    Will he learn to recover, or will he drown in the tide of his emotions?

    Summary

    Spider's very first Tsaheylu was with Varang. It was terrible, despicable, and caused him only pain - nothing like a Tsaheylu is supposed to be, especially not someone's first. Jake didn't know nearly enough about how Spider had suffered while they'd been separated, and, regrettably, he probably never would, but his children were always brave enough to voice the things that Jake was too much of a coward to say.

    “Dad,” Tuk said, looking at Jake with her hand wrapped around Spider’s wrist. “Can you do Tsaheylu with Spider? He says the first time was really bad, because it was with Varang, and she didn’t do it right. But you’ll do it right, so do you think you can do it with him, so he knows what it feels like when it’s done with someone who loves him?”

    And, well, how could Jake possibly say no to all four of his remaining children, whom he loved with all his heart?

    Summary

    When Xuanzang spotted the bundle of monkey skins dangling from the trapper’s pack, his first instinct was to flinch. But his second was to catch the man’s arm and say, urgently, “Your pardon, honored sir. Would it be possible to ask you a few questions about your line of work?”

    or:

    Tripitaka acquires a manual entitled "On the Training of Monkeys." Bizarrely, this does not backfire on him.

    Summary

    “But that’s the way it’s always said you have to be.” Gabe once told me. “My mom tells me it’s a miracle I’m alive. I have to do something big with my life.”

    “That’s a lot of pressure.” I told him. “It’s okay to be in the background, and be insignificant for a while. Insignificant doesn’t always mean unimportant.”

    “People tell me I’m important all of the time.” Gabe had sighed, picking at the food in front of him. “I don’t always want to be.”

    At eight months old, Gabriel Goodman almost died of an intestinal blockage. Survival always comes with a price. 

    - This is my first next to normal fic and the first time I've written an OC. I've been working on this for months and only now do I have the confidence to start posting it. Thank you! -
