Summary
Varang leads Quaritch to another clan, one massive clan that she speaks of highly, like they are the ones that will win him this war.
She may or may not have neglected to mention that they are cannibalistic and intend to eat them. Cool.

Summary
“Hey there, tiger,” he murmured, the words coming out softer than he meant. “You picked one hell of a rock to land on.”
The baby’s mouth opened in a silent yawn. Then he made a small, contented noise, barely more than a sigh, and burrowed his face against Quaritch’s chest, as if the worn fatigues and faint smell of cigarette smoke and gun oil were already familiar.

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!

Whumptober Day 08
They haven’t turned off the lights.
They still blare down against the metal floor and white walls of the holding cell with the same intensity they’d had when he was shoved in here. The only respite is huddling under the table, and even that doesn’t do much.

Summary
Jake’s anger was palpable enough to burn a hole through steel, his jaw clenched so hard that his teeth creaked audibly. “Who would choose to leave a child on Pandora? Who would have a child in an obvious warzone? Who the fuck would endanger a kid like that?” he asks, all of them rhetorical because no one would be able to answer them anyway.
“And how the hell did Selfridge think it was a good idea to tell someone just as he was getting on an aircraft to leave?!” Jake asks again, getting more irate and angry, nearly tearing his hair out at this point. “That’s like saying ‘Oh peace out guys, but don’t forget there’s a literal child in there who could starve if left alone’. Like, the fuck?!”
He flops back against his chair, his breaths heaving out in barely controlled gusts that flutter the pages strewn about him. “Actually, Norm, don’t slap him. Punch the dumbass for me into next week. Maybe that’ll get it through his thick skull,” he mutters, utterly serious in his tone and his expression.
Or!All humans leave Pandora after the final battle leaving Spider behind. Oh, and he’s blessed by Eywa. That’s it. That’s the fic.
