    Summary

    Weeks after the battle, the relief everyone promised him still hasn't come. Spider sits alone on the Awa'atlu shore and tries to braid his own hair — and can't; no one ever taught his hands.

    A wordless, post-canon piece about the kind of belonging that doesn't fix anything — and stays anyway.

    Summary

    Spider can now breathe outside without a mask thanks to Eywa (and Kiri), but sometimes people...forget. They've spent sixteen years seeing him with a mask on his face that's vital to keep him alive, so sometimes the panic still hits when that mask isn't there.

    or; five times people forget Spider can now breathe Pandora's air, and one time Spider forgets

    Summary

    “I see you,” Neytiri had whispered to him. She’d placed her hand on his face, her wide palm dwarfing his jaw. Jake had pulled him into his arms, with Neytiri crushing him from the other side. He had closed his eyes and let their bodies warm his chilled skin, brace the tremors that wracked his frame, ignoring Jake’s jade knife pressing into his thigh from where it’d been abandoned on the ground. He’d smiled through the tears, accepted Jake’s hand pulling him up from the ground, and had followed them back to Neytiri’s mount, Sa’ata, which had carried them up into the air and away from the forest that had nearly become his final resting place.

    And yet, Spider was sure that a part of him would never leave that forest clearing, that narrow log, that patch of sunlight that Jake had chosen because it had seemed like the nicest place where he could sacrifice Spider.

    * * *

    Jake, Neytiri, and Spider stop at High Camp on their way home from the rescue of Jake and near-sacrifice of Spider. Comfort and such ensues.
