Summary
After Neteyam's death and months of captivity by the RDA, Spider is struggling with the question of where he belongs. Kiri, Lo’ak and Tuk consider him their family like they always have, but they’re seeking guidance from a person that Spider can’t replace. Jake is trying to finally be a father figure, but Neytiri is much the same towards Spider, her animosity now fueled in part by grief. Spider can’t help but feel like he’s standing in Neteyam’s shadow at every turn. All the while holding on to the secret that he couldn't leave Quaritch to die.
After the battle, Quaritch is back at Bridgehead, licking his wounds. This was his last shot to take out Jake Sully, and he knows it. The RDA won’t sanction another run, barely sanctioned this one, turning their sights instead towards securing the forest for mining operations to resume, and bolstering the tulkun hunt. Jake Sully is no longer a leader in any war effort, his intel over a decade out of date, and thus of little consequence. Quaritch begins to question why the revenge fantasy of a dead man means so much to him, and what he believes in if it's not the RDA.
The story of Spider and Quaritch's search for belonging.

Summary
He fingers the glass vial in his pocket. Contemplates the half-empty bottle left carelessly beside his partner’s haphazard pile of street clothes – some sort of lurid, neon-colored energy drink; carbonated, with a strong taste of its own – and makes his decision.
It’s for Jesse’s own good.
(He tells himself this, and believes it. It’s the truth.)
And what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.
--
An alternate take on the plot of S4, starting from Shotgun/Cornered. Rather than trying to poison Gus, Walt takes a different sort of drastic action to maintain his hold on Jesse.

Summary
Here is the ocean village. He can’t remember its name, but he can remember someone saying that it was surrounded by deep water on all sides. It’s the second they’ve come to, the second they’re tearing to pieces, the second they’re searching. Here, is among screaming, panicking villagers.
Here is under the scrutiny of so many people, expecting so much from him.
Maybe if he was a bit more…normal. A bit more like them, what was happening around him wouldn’t seem as bad. The violence wouldn’t be as shocking.
It wouldn’t make him feel as if he’s about to be sick over his own toes.
He really doesn’t want to be here.
“Translate.”
That’s growled at him, most likely to intimidate and scare him. It’s deep and low, like the growling of the ship’s engines just outside the reef. But, like the first two times, it just makes him confused.
Translate what? No one’s spoken, how can he–
“That is a forest clan member,” the man before him says, slow and pronounced over the crackling of flames. “They do not come here. Please, tell him!”
Oh. What? No, that’s not the sound of flames it’s–
Everything he knows breaking apart.
Or!
The Amnesia AU I promised
