Baby Spider was absolutely littered in bruises and cuts from trying to keep up with his siblings but never complained. He’s always worn the injuries like a mark of pride, like somehow they’re the stripes he doesn’t have because they come from his siblings and they don’t see him like a human, they just see their brother

What do you think the sullys family reaction to spiders torture would, be I honestly don’t think they’re going to address it in avatar three but I wanted to hear your opinion on it? (make it as dark as you want👹)

Spider didn't meant to tell them, he fully intended on taking it all to the grave unless something might help them in the war. But that was it - he wanted to move on
When he gets back, Jake and Neytiri scare him
He tries not to let them but he keeps thinking that Quaritch is back and he didn't get home whenever they come up behind him. Out of the corner of his eye they don't look like the people he wanted to be his parents. They don't even look like friends
They're kinder though, Jake especially, and slowly he feels himself being brought in
He won't ruin it with some stupid trauma response
He flinches away from them and can't sleep near them but sometimes Jake rubs his head or Neytiri will run her fingers over his shoulders when she passes. He swallows down the anxious nausea and relishes in it.
He. Can't. Ruin. it
He wears a shirt now and loose shorts that offer more coverage than his loincloth. He keeps a knife on a beaded belt over the shorts in an awkward combination of fashions and keeps his hair loose so it can't be grabbed so easy. The dreads are gone and so are his stripes but he thinks it's okay, he's just growing up. No one needs to worry.
He thinks he's done well at hiding it but it seems he underestimated the couple drastically.
Kiri ends up being the one to approach him
The family whispers about what to do, how to help, or if they can. They spent the first couple months mourning their own losses and caring for Neteyam but Spider hasn't gotten better. Tired of the indecision, Kiri slips out of their marui and stalks after her best friend
He's with Rotxo on the beach, drooping and tired but relaxed with the other boy. They've been spending more time together and he seems more comfortable around the Metkayina lately.
They don't look like his Dad, like the recoms that claimed him, and Rotxo would never hurt him. None of them would, they're safe.
He snaps awake when Kiri lands a gentle hand on his shoulder. He jerks closer to Rotxo who supports him but urges him closer to his sister.
"Sorry, sorry..can we talk?" Rotxo gives him a look and Kiri holds out her hand so...yeah. Spider stands and she leads him to the treeline
She sits him down with their feet in the sand and leans her head on his shoulder. She's playing mean and she knows it, knows she's his weakness and always has been. His stomach twists and he knows she's going to get what she wants.
"What happened?"
He bites his lip, brows pinched, and tries not to give anything away. "Was tired, it was a long day. Ro helped me with his ilu."
"You know that's not what I meant." He shrivels and leans his head into her hair. She smells salty and sand clings to her messy waves but she's always been his person.
"I...they're monsters, Kiri. Monsters. I...They hurt me." His voice cracks and his head is in her hands, dipping their foreheads to meet. "I just want this to stop..." He was fine. He was.
But she holds him and he finally breaks.
She listens while he chokes on the tears, telling her how his back hurts with the healing injuries she didn't know were there. He cries over the wrong feeling of fabric clothes but he doesn't feel safe without them. She wraps him up in her arms and they lay there. The stars are out now but they don't move and he doesn't realize that, suspiciously, no one comes looking. No one ever does.
When they finally stand, they don't go home. She leads him to the med tents still set up from the battle and sits him on the bed. Silently, she removes his shirt and gingerly applies salve to the stripes reaching around his body. Her tears land on his shoulders and his own on his thighs but he's not humiliated like he was before.
"..are there more?" He shifts, nods, and she does the same process to his thighs. Those aren't as bad, mostly from rough handling and straps but she continues her quiet ministrations none the less. Finally, she finishes, and they go home
He hasn't slept well in weeks, tossing and turning and afraid but she nudges him into the pile of her brothers and drapes herself on top. Lo'ak blinks wearily at him but Neteyam just wraps an arm around his clothed chest and pulls him tight. Lo'ak and Kiri have a silent conversation and soon he's the center of a very cozy pile of limbs and heat
His brothers flank him on either side, Tuk joining between himself and Lo'ak halfway through the night, and Kiri curled at his head with her head cushioned on Neteyams chest
It's the first good sleep he has since he got home
The peace is ruined come morning though
He's the last one to wake, Tuk mysteriously is missing, and the family is sitting around bowls of food. Kiri looks at him, shaky, and gestures him to her.
They sit there, Spider holding a bowl of his favorite stew, and no once speaks. He curses himself internally, not wanting to break.
Jake breaks the silence, "Spider, kid, I, ah, think we need to talk about what happened. Kiri said you're hurt and you haven't been acting right. I know, I do, that the humans are cruel. I know we didn't come but Sullys stick together. You're family now..." He swallows, guilty and nervous, " please talk to us."
He denies it, tries to stop it, but Neytiri steps in. Her voice is low and calm, like she uses on Tuk, but there's an anger in her eyes when she scans his shoulders.
"Ma Spider, tell us what they did. Your brothers and sister may leave if you wish, but you are safe. Tell me what I avenge."
He grips Lo'aks hand and Kiri's, head low, and breaks.
He tells them about the whipping, the starvation. He tells them about the machine that splayed him open and how he didn't give them up. He talks about choking on his blood and watching his memories, about Quaritch saying he sees him. How traveling with him was so much better than base until it wasn't. He tells them about walking to the shower with eyes on him, about being gawked at and hungry eyes. How he was left alone for a week and a half with his songcord and fear. What happened when they found it. Quaritch humming his song and making him bleed.
When he's done, Jake reaches for him and he flinches back harshly into Lo'ak. His brother, to his credit, just bundles him up and holds him tight with his ears drawn back in warning. Kiri has a hand on his back and Neteyam slips between them and the adults. He doesn't give them details, just the gist, but he feels lighter.
His family does not.
Jake spends the next days with Tonowari and Norm. Rage is filling every inch of him but he sits at the table and plans
He uses the information given to try and figure out how to fix it. It won't happen again, he'll destroy them, but he doesn't know how he'll get his son back to the way he was
He blames himself and brews. He feels weak and raw and can't process how badly he's failed. Norm, of all people, tries to tell him its not his fault but he doesn't think he'll ever not hate himself for leaving a child to be tortured
Spider wasn't his yet and his kids weren't safe. He knows that, but he knows no one came for him and Tommy either
He never thought he would be that person - he thought he would be better
He hates that his kids know
He hates that they were there and know what happened. That they know how he failed their best friend
He's afraid to interact with Spider, he's scared to scare him ultimately. But he also needs Spider to trust him. He and Neytiri are trying to figure out how to ask him if they can adopt him through a claiming ceremony, but right now he still jumps if they touch him
Toruk Makto knows he did the right thing. Jake Sully will never forgive himself or humanity for the lines they cross.
Neytiri is an active threat to humanity
She never trusted Spider, never felt safe with him, but she couldn't hate him
She left him and she'll always carry that, but children are precious and a Na'vi warrior would never hurt an enemy child
Na'vi don't hurt their children. They don't leave them or starve them or beat them. She already hated Quaritch but she hates him more now
But its the forced Tsaheylu that haunts her
Spider would never have that bond. That's what she thought, but the one time he does he is mocked and hurt.
The idea that humanity could hurt anyone with such a sacred thing, let alone a child of their own species, brings her to enough rage to burn down all of Bridgehead, innocents be damned
She hated humanity but now she has a human she loves. Spider is hers now, Jake brought him in after the battle and claimed him as theirs. He's hers
They'll burn for touching him
He's hurt in ways warriors rarely ever reach and so she snaps
She's already a merciless fighter but it's tenfold now. She will leave no survivors when sky-people come and she will see their blood pay the debt they owe
But for now, for now she takes care of her little ones. She helps Neteyam heal his arm. She teaches Lo'ak how to fight, helps Tuk get faster so she will survive, and helps Kiri become a healer to rival her mother. Spider is still learning to relax with the adults but she's his silent protector and soon he lets her heal his back.
She wraps his injuries and holds him when he's weak. He's small in her arms and she curses anyone who would lay a hand on things so precious
Rage fills her but she spends the time waiting to strike with her children and helping them heal like she never did
Neteyam won't let this happen again
He spends his time with Ao'nung and Rotxo
They're the next generation and he won't let things get so bad when its their turn
A part of him will always resent his parents for what they did. He loves and respects them more than words offer but he almost died saving his little brothers and they're still hurt so damn bad
He gave them everything he had and it wasn't enough
So he plans
He combines Omaticaya and Metkayina fighting styles. He compares defense, strategies, and discusses how they'll work together
He, Ao'nung, and Rotxo spend hours fighting and wrestling, training themselves to be strong
They'll be leaders one day and they won't be loosing their friends again
Part of him is haunted by the cruelty though
He idolizes his dad and can't imagine how the people he came from could be so cruel and make him
But he understands his mothers hatred now
And he thinks he knows it too. They took her sister and now his brother.
He's never hated someone before but he thinks he hates Miles Quaritch.
His mother just might have to fight him to deliver the killing blow
Lo'ak is protective
Anyone looks at Spider the wrong way and he's ready with a fist to the nose
He was the one that went back for Spider
He was the one that ran into the ship
Spider is his brother and best friend, his family is stepping in now but it's his job to be there
Older or not, Spider isn't as strong as them. His skin rips and his body exhausts so much easier than theirs does. He wasn't there before but he has to be now
Anyone who thinks about messing with Spider needs to go through him
His body itches with energy, with the need to do something but there's nothing for a 14 year old to do
So he just stays nearby
He distracts Spider, surrounds him with the friends they've made, and keeps him safe
He takes him on ilu rides and to visit Payakan. He introduces him to the plants around the coast and shows him the reefs with Tsireya.
He honestly becomes a menace, it's cute but Spider has to try and dodge him to get alone time
But he's a little brother and he does what little brothers do
He pesters. It annoys Spider to no end but, honestly, he doesn't think he would stop him if he could
Kiri tries to heal him.
She can't fix things but she resolves to be by his side
She spends the evenings with him just talking and laughing, he tells her things no one else gets to know and things feel a little bit normal in a twisted sort of way
They lean on each other through the healing and hurt. They coach each other through the feelings as best they can. They're best friends and always have been
She won't let that change
She wraps his wounds and learns how to ease the pain from her mother
She spends hours with Ronal and Tsireya to learn how the ocean fixes hurts and shares how the forest does the same
Its her self proclaimed job to make sure his injuries heal but so does his mind
Tsaheylu is sacred and so she talks to him about Ewya, his father, and the fear he still has
It is on him to get through it in the end but she staples herself to his side to make sure he doesn't do it alone
She makes Neteyam help too but honestly her brothers are stupid so its on her to be the support
Overtime, she and Tsireya gather together a collection to make Spider more Na'vi-esque clothes that offer him the coverage he wants
They try to make him feel like Spider again, braiding his hair, covering the bruises and scars, and painting his arms in new stripes to look more akin to their own.
He goes through stripes of each of his friends families, mimicking their patterns in little ways for them to lay their claim
She isn't the most affectionate person but for him, she finds herself making it happen
She loves him so for now, being there will have to be enough
Tuk is just a kid, she doesn't know what's happening
Spider is. . .different and she's smart enough to know it's bad
But her family won't tell her what happened or what's wrong
Spider just looks sad and her family are acting weird, but he's getting better
It's slow, but she's gonna help and it'll be faster
So she brings him toys and climbs on him, drags him deeper into the sleep pile each night and offers him the treats she steals from the cookfire
While her siblings get breathing lessons, she brings him to the tidepools and makes him weave shells into her hair
She does all the little things that her family do for her to make her feel better and thinks, quite proudly, she's making him better
Everyone gets sick sometimes, sometimes it's just in someone's head. Besides, Spider always is sicker than her brothers and sister - she just has to be persistent
He'll get better. She's sure of it.
You know those like kittens raised with dogs and shit where it's just one tiny fluffball fully convinced they're on the same level as a fucking rottweiler?? Yeah thats Spider

______________________________________________________________
They sun has only begun to rise when Rotxo stirs. The early amber light is beginning to filter into the marui he has called home for nearly 8 years now.
He stifles a yawn and stretches his shoulders back with a satisfying crack. He's careful not to stir the warm body tucked into his side.
Spider isn't supposed to spend the night often, the shack a little ways from their home being for him to sleep in at night in order to keep his mask off for a few hours at least. Rotxo knows it gets uncomfortable at time and has seen the seemingly permanent indents on his lovers skin where it presses in.
Still, Spider is nothing if not stubborn and is hard pressed to make leave when he's decided he's spending the night. For a brief moment, he ponders scooping up the other man and making him return to the building the humans so kindly crammed into the limited space of Metkayina beaches, but the thought filters away as quickly as it came when Spiders eyes begin to crack open.
Gently, always gently - his hand is the size of his mates head, he strokes back the braids and curls that have fallen over his face.
He selfishly tries to lure the blonde back to sleep. He caresses the skin above the mask, stroking gently like he knows he likes after so many years together, and watches Spiders eyelashes flutter lazily.
Distantly, his ears swivel to pick up the sounds of the fisherman and cooks leaving the lazy warmth of their own homes to begin the day. Thankfully, and admittedly a bit smugly, he thanks Ewya for their marui's distance from the others.
Spiders shack needed more stable room than the majority of their structures could offer. As such, his marui was built a little ways back from the water in order to allow the couple the chance to share their home. The shack is only a handful of yards beside the marui with foliage tucking it into the treeline to remind him of his first home.
It is a bittersweet addition to be forced to keep the human they've known so long now separate, but they'll be damned if they don't reap the rewards.
"Ro?"
Internally, Rotxo sighs at the admittance that the day was unfortunately starting. Still, he can spare an hour before patrolling the nets and reef.
"Mornin', Nì’it fko."
Spider opens a judgmental eye and scoffs. Nevertheless, he burrows deeper into the larger mans warmth. A pale thigh wedges itself between his blue and soon he is on his back with the human splayed across his chest.
"The sun is just beginning to rise...we could spare an hour." He directs down a cheeky grin that only spreads at the matching one from his mate. "You read my mind."
He snickers softly and lays a hand on the others back. His fingers stretch from the humans mid back down to the base of his spine in a familiar sight. They have grown up together at this point but the realization still leads him with a bit of awe.
"Mmm...you're warm. Probably cause you stole my blanket."
Spider peers up with narrowed eyes and Rotxo knows the sort of day they'll have. "Na'vi don't even use blankets."
"Maybe we should. And your blanket shouldn't be big enough for me if you don't want me to use it." The blonde scoffs and lightly smacks his chest, right over the still-healing tattoo he earned a few weeks past. The na'vi winces.
"Its that big because my thief of a mate would take it even if it just covered his dick."
"So my dick is big?"
They stay still for a long moment before Rotxo cracks and lets out a loud laugh. Said blanket is pulled up and he wraps it around the man in his arms. "There. Now we both have the blanket."
Spider snorts and Rotxo thinks he'll sling another retort before the smaller man lays his head back down into the crook of his neck. With a quiet hum, he begins to trace the twirls of ink and the stripes of darker blue on his skin. "Tsireya is helping me make another one."
"Of course she is. I'm sure Lo'ak introduced her to them. They're fucking amazing."
Spider just laughs and closes his eyes. The sun is coming in fully now but they can steal a bit longer. He closes his eyes and nuzzles his head down into blonde braids.
"Oel ngati kameie. Nga yawne lu oer."
He can feel the other mans smile against his skin.
"Oel ngati kameie. Nga yawne lu oer."

Nì’it fko - Small one

Platonic soulmates
Kiri claims him as her platonic partner when she's like 16 as a way to establish him as part of her family
At first it causes some raised eyebrows, people suspecting they are more than friends or something shady is happening until it is clear Spider is content with his respective partner and they are content with just having their brother at her side
They each have a little matching braid in their hair with beads for the other, it's a little reminder and a little claim when nothing in their lives are stable
They are also best friends with Lo'ak and act as a trio but he's more popular and less of a "village freak" so to speak and so their dynamic has always been a little bit different
Before she was born, Spider was always intrigued by Grace and her pregnancy. He would curl up by her tank with his toys or tablet, babbling to the tank and to the sister he didn't yet know was his
The occasional floating visitor kept Neytiri from separating him from Grace and later baby Kiri
They have about a 2 year age gap but it's not exact with Na'vi aging
Kiri was convinced braiding Spiders hair would create a tswin if they tried hard enough as a small child
Spider didn't really get it but let her play with his hair whenever she wanted, just liking the attention and the soft touches
Spider had a crush on her for about a year when they were 12 and 10 but later realized it was moreso just a lot of care he didn't know how to process
Kiri is the reason Spider learned what love is
Lo'ak and Kiri grew up tag teaming Jake and Neytiri with comments about their 'other brother' or 'Dads human kid' in attempts to get them to accept Spider as family
It sort of worked on Jake but scared Neytiri more
Kiri is the only one who can always find Spider when he runs off, but Spider is takes hours trying to find them when the rolls are reversed
It helps them both to know that someone always comes looking
Neytiri reluctantly lets it be that Kiri added a bead to her and their siblings songchords for Spider
Spider thinks Kiri is the strongest person he's ever met (though if you ask he'll say Jake)
She was who kept coming to mind when the RDA tried to search his mind and he had to blur her face and voice until he could barely remember them for fear of what it could mean for them
Their relationship is how Jake learned of platonic bonds in Na'vi culture and how valued they are in their society
It's also part of why he starts trying to bring Spider into the family more and more as the kids grow older
Spider thinks that Kiri will want him around less after Neteyam is shot but she leans on him tenfold
They're one anothers anchor
Kiri forgives Spider for saving Quaritch but its something they're never able to completely forget
On the same page, they never forgive Neytiri for pulling them away when Spider was taken and places blame on themself and their mother on bad days since they didn't go back
Kiri is the only one who really knows what humans can and cannot have of the Na'vi - she had to learn since Lo'ak and Spider kept daring one another to do stupid things
Kiri hates the dreads and ends up twisting and braiding his hair with Rotxo when they get to Awa'talu
Spider and Rotxo dye Kiri's tips red like her mothers with berries and paint - which almost got them killed by Neytiri but Kiri loved it
When Rotxo starts courting Spider, Kiri helps him by adding some of Rotxo's stripes to his paint (it's the first pattern that wasn't hers he ever wears)
Spider spends days with Kiri gathering gifts when Kiri tries to pursue their first real relationships
He also dyes the girls tail red with his hair dye knowledge when she breaks Kiri's heart
not sure how much i love this one but 🤪
Spider is a provider type and it shows when his partner is sick or otherwise out of commission
He will spend as much time as he can (mostly when Rotxo is asleep) hunting and gathering so he can feed/provide for him and, later, their kids
He is also the one that will be weaving and trading for new blankets, clothes, baskets, etc - how much it helps is questionable but he is a king of comfort and wants to make sure that Rotxo won't worry for anything since he's a huge stresser
He will take the kids for the day once they reach that part of their lives and huddle them into his pod so Rotxo has some peace, he's a hoverer but gets self conscious about it
Despite Rotxo being a major cuddler and Spider having very little strength against his partners puppy dog eyes, he normally won't stop jumping around trying to 'help' until Rotxo pulls him down and makes him just lay down with him
Spider is a very independent person which follows in how he is when he is sick, Rotxo is not...which also follows into him being sick. Given he's fucking huge, he normally gets his way if he tries to octopus arm him
Spider is an act of service type but is normally put on less physical tasks in the village due to the species difference. Given Rotxo is the same way and gets to fill that role more often. Spider uses sick days to show off a bit lmao.
Rotxo is a big baby when he's sick tho so he loves the attention and thrives on having an excuse to be a baby about whatever he wants
The only downside is he WILL get someone else sick without a doubt
When he is injured, however, he gets angsty and protective - he feels way too reminded of his own vulnerabilities and mortality which only makes his seeing his mate and childrens that much worse
Spider will be the type constantly watching the door and trying to lock down the marui or pod subconsciously - given how little he grew up with, he's very protective of his space and people
Rotxo struggles with this a bit more when he is injured since he doesn't like being confined and it makes him feel weak and disrespected if he isn't allowed to protect them - babying is only fun on the rare occasions the na'vi gets sick
Spider is the type though who wants to hunker down when he's hurt but will try to suppress it. He's prone to pushing himself too far when he's badly hurt since he's bruised up or sore a lot of the time
When he's sick, he's the type to ignore it and work through it, even though it's 10x worse for him to keep pushing when his body isn't made for the environment
He's also an isolator since he has value issues in not wanting to be a hinderance
Rotxo spends a lot of time forcefully babying him when he is sick which is more than they care to admit since homie has no concept of what his limits are (or he just refuses to admit them)
I hope you didn't mind my question. It's just that I'm a fan of your Spider Socorro and Rotxo creations and I would like you to keep doing many more please.
I plan to! I tend to write them just as I get inspiration, I'll add more as requests/ideas come in!
okay okay so I have thoughts and want opinions on what ya'll want for the last kiddo
Avatar baby - (A lovely suggestion where the munchkin is made of their DNA and grown like an avatar body)
Bio baby - Someone carries the baby (pls comment your preference, this one would take some finagling but like intersex Rotxo and trans Spider are both canon in my lil universe so i feel the need to add it
Random adoption - baby just fucking ,, showed up, parents aren't overly important but Rocorro raise her
Specific adoption - Similar to the boys, she's adopted from someone specific
pls comment or send asks with y'alls thoughts, I'm v curious about what y'all think
My friend group is sick of me already
