Right so my brain was being a brain for once and decided to come up with a crossover concept for the 'You wanna be one of them' universe and 'I wouldn't have given you to them':
So we've got ('You wanna be one of them')Spider fucking around in the forest with the Sully kids past curfew because despite the RDA being on planet, they're still teens doing stupid shit. At least this time, Lo'ak, Kiri and Neteyam were quiet enough not to wake Tuk on their way out of camp. Of course, Neteyam is anxious the entire time they're out, convinced his radio collar is going to go off with Jake sternly telling all four of them to return home pronto. But that never comes.
They're having a grand old time, splashing each other with bioluminescent water and disturbing the insects. That is until there's a shout from the canopy, freezing all four kids. They're immediately drawing in close to one another, hands on weapons, privately debating if it would be better to be found by an RDA patrol or their furious parents.
They don't have to wait long as overhead, what sounds suspiciously like a slinth hisses, closely followed by a terrified shriek and then the crash of a body tumbling down through the canopy.
The figure lands hard on their stomach, momentarily stunned. They lay there motionless long enough for Spider to notice the rifle strapped to their back, the metal glinting in the glow of the undergrowth. Then they suck in a rattled breath and push themselves to their elbows and then up on their knees.
Spider sucks in a breath at Zaza's split lip and unkempt hair, weirdly shorter and fresh out of its braids. Surely they hadn't had enough time to unbraid it all so quickly after he 'went to bed' only an hour ago. Weirder still, they're dressed in avatar sized RDA military attire, and not the old stuff Norm has stuffed in the compound. These clothes look freshly made, newly torn from the fall, but not worn like the other avatar clothing Spider had seen the other scientists wearing.
Rubbing their temple with a hiss, Zaza finally notices all four kids, and instead of scowling and immediately launching into a rant about them breaking curfew, the avatar instead startles and falls flat on its back. With wide eyes, it snatches for the gun its suddenly sitting on and continues to frantically shuffle away from the kids.
<"What's up with them?"> Lo'ak whispers out of the corner of his mouth without so much as moving a muscle. At his back, Kiri shakes her head. Neteyam looks ready to bolt, his hand half lifted to his radio collar.
As usual, Spider made the first move. <"Hi, um, Za, fancy catching you out here so late,"> he carefully tucks his knife away, unnerved by the avatar continuing to scramble away from him. <"Any chance we won't get grounded for this?"> He asks plainly.
The avatar pauses, knuckles tight around the gun they still haven't managed to pull from under them. <"Do I, do I know you?"> They ask carefully, their Na'vi stilted and poorly pronounced. It was Zaza's voice, Spider recognised, but not how they spoke.
Brows furrowed he glances back to his friends who mirror his confusion. <"What do you mean?"> He presses, eyes raking over the avatar, only to linger on the fresh gash at their temple. <"Shit, did you hit your head on the way down?">
Their eyes flickered from Spider to the Sully kids over his shoulder. <"Y-yes?">
Lo'ak groans loudly, and the tension abruptly snaps. <"Uncle Tsu'tey is going to kill us.">
<"Why? We didn't do anything!"> Kiri immediatly butted in.
<"Lets just,"> Neteyam interjects calmly, his concern outweighing his fear of being caught. <"lets get them back home. Spider, you get their other arm.">
Zaza stares at them in mistrustful confusion, as the pair help them to their feet. Spider fusses over their tattered uniform.
<"Where is your atokirina knife?">
<"My what?"> Zaza asks, brows furrowed. They slap along their thigh until their hand comes into contact with the utility knife strapped to their waist. <"I have my knife right here?">
Now in hindsight, Spider realised that that should have been a dead give away. But in the middle of the forest, late at night, hours past his curfew, having found his possibly concussed parent in the middle of nowhere, he didn't find it odd. Instead of pressing for any further information, he and the rest of the Sully kids carefully guided Zaza back to High Camp.
Only to return to said Camp, to find Jake waiting for them, arms crossed and his foot tapping, flanked by Spider's Zaza, outside of their avatar and very much uninjured.

kinda want for season 4 for jj to be happy for at least a moment and relish in the fact that he has kiara and she loves him. he always saw himself as too little and not good enough for kiara which is why he never made a move and would push her to others so idk i want him to be strike with the fact he has someone to rely on. waking up in the morning and seeing kiara there and just have that moment to breathe.
Listen, as a JJ stan, I want that too. 100%. As a fic writer and certified sadist, I also kind of want to see him struggle before he gets to that point. Don't get me wrong, nonnie, I would scream, cry, and break through walls if we got --
HANG ON NO BECAUSE WHAT IF --
what if in season four we see JJ getting up early cause he's angsty and can't sleep and he's like, staring out the window and then and then Kie comes up behind him all tired and sleepy and is like 'g'mornin' as she tucks her arms under his shoulders and cuddles into his back and kisses his shoulder blade and we see his face split open by this impossible, beautiful grin (you know the one, rudy's big ol smile) and he just says 'hey Kie' all soft and lifts up his arm to tuck her under it and he kisses her on the forehead and shes standing there under his arm, pressed against his side, one hand on his chest and the other around his shoulder/upper arm and she's like 'hey, you okay?' and he smiles and says 'Got a lot on my mind' and she leans up to kiss him all soft and slow and morning-tired and says 'we'll get through it together' and he just says 'yeah. together.'
anyway I'm gonna go set myself on fire.
