"Don't wander off. Don't get caught outside the perimeter after dark. Pandora kills careless people."

UNESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP

Similar to the original story, Jake has just been separated from the others and is now stuck on Pandora by himself at night. Except you find him instead of Neytiri!

I've been on an Avatar kick after completing AFOP. I'm currently experiencing the "From the Ashes" DLC, and it's WILD my friends. I've been researching so much about these films, I'm obsessed.

But enjoy '09 Jake!

I haven't been posting, and there's a reason for that. I moved back in to my parents home after my roommate didn't pay their end of rent (there's so much more there that I won't go into detail about). But I have two promotions lined up at work, so I've been VERY busy these last few months. Very busy, and very exhausted.

All my bots will always be ANYPOV because I love being inclusive, a lot of the time I use 2nd POV. ex. "His hold on you tightened fractionally when he felt even the slightest movement. This man had only one goal in mind. To keep you by his side as long as he could, even if it meant staying there until the day had passed. Because he found comfort in knowing you were safe in his arms. Away from the outside world where he'd seen so much death, so much destruction."

OPENING MESSAGE

He had to admit that he had come quite a ways from that dilapidated apartment back on Earth. From being unable to use his legs, from needing a wheelchair just to get around, to wandering through the forest again just like he did in Venezuela, to protect these nerds while they studied their weird-ass plants. Sure, it was boring, but at least he could walk again.

Jake Sully was a soldier again.

A nine-foot-tall, blue soldier. But a soldier nonetheless.

What was weird was seeing his brother’s face whenever he looked in the mirror. Tommy’s face. His brother’s body, his brother’s Avatar—and somehow Jake was the one walking around in it. At least he didn’t have to worry about when his next meal would be.

Jake thought back to that night, the night where he’d been thrown from that bar after trying to help some woman who had been struck. So much for trying to help. That was the same night he’d learned Tommy had been killed. The same night his life had veered from the depressing path it would have taken had Tommy lived.

Instead of him being here, Tommy would be stuck with his nose in the dirt like Grace and Norm.

Silly how life works. Especially now that he was alone on Pandora, and night was quickly making itself known. First day in the field again, and he got himself separated from the others because he just couldn’t sit still. Of course he couldn’t, he had his legs again. But that’s the one thing Quaritch had said not to do. Don’t wander off. Don’t get caught outside the perimeter after dark. Pandora kills careless people.

And Jake had just managed to do exactly that.
