    Summary

    Jake used to think Spider, Na’vi at heart, was just as strong and resilient as his children. Always rising up from a scratch, smiling and cracking jokes to make people smile with him. He always put his friends first, bringing random gifts around and offering a hand whenever something had to be done.

    Spider was a good kid, a tough kid. But oh boy did Jake fail him. Kiri would ask for help where Spider didn’t. Lo’ak would shed quiet tears when Spider shrugged his pain off. Tuk would rely on him when Spider actually had no one to rely on at the same age. Jake confused resilience with deep-rotted hyper-independence for the longest time.

    When Spider falls into a panic attack, whispering heart-wrenching pleas and confusing him for someone else - someone that had hurt him - Jake then realises just how far Spider has changed from the boy he once knew. How could he have been so blind?

    OR

    Spider is losing all hope, the Sully's grieves and Jake realises they have more wounds to patch then they thought.

    Summary

    "If you had just followed orders, your brother would still be alive."

    That's what his father had said. Or I guess that's what he wanted to say, even if it didn't quite come out that way.

    That seemed to be his issue. Not following orders. Not submitting to authority, no matter who wields it. He tries to listen, to be the good, obedient soldier his father wants him to be. But he's not Neteyam. He wasn't born a soldier. He wasn't even born a real Na'vi. 5 fingers. Hair above his eyes. Kuru sprouting from the base of his skull and not the top. A freak. A loose cannon. Unable to bend to the requirements of his people. Of his family. And now here we are. Suffering, all because he couldn't stay put.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Lo’ak Sully’s suicide attempt, except rather than Kiri and Tsireya finding him, it’s who should have found him.

    Summary

    He figures out that the loop has a set time. It always begins with Lo’ak lying on his mat in the family marui the morning of the battle, and it always ends the next day as he connects to the Spirit Tree at Neteyam’s funeral.
    Nothing changes, and Neteyam dies. And dies, and dies, and dies.
    Is this his punishment? Is this Lo’ak’s penitence for causing his brother's death, for killing Neteyam like his dad always said he would?
    “Eywa,” he begs, “what is happening to me?”
    Silence answers him.

    or,

    Neteyam can't stop dying, and Lo'ak can't stop waking up that morning to save him.
