hi, could you do the biggest neteyam kinks please.

Love your write <3

i got about 5 of these requests so I'll just do one haahahah. i love how much people loved my dilf!jake's biggest kinks, i might have to do a part 2 for that soon! but let's see neteyam's. now, this might be a wildly unpopular opinion, but i actually don't think neteyam would be super kinky in bed (just me??). but there are a couple things that are cannon in my head about him:

wc: 850 words

na'vi compendium: yawne - love

smut under the cut, minors dni 🔞

switch kink/pleasure dom kink

neteyam will never be able to beat the switch allegations in my book. i think initially, when he's first starting out, he's be quite submissive, putty under your touch. "am i making you feel good, teyam?" you'd say, sinking slowly on his length, watching as, with every inch, he becomes more and more unravelled, eyes shut tightly, mouth agape, small whimpers escaping his lips as you begin grinding on him, overcome with the sensation overload from being stretched almost to the point of pain, so full of him you can't see straight anymore. riding him lets you see him, in all his glory, the sheen of his azure skin as a light layer of sweat coats it, the way his canines dig into his lower lip to stop himself from moaning at how good your walls feel taking him all in, moulding to the shape of his thick cock. you can't help yourself, as you swipe your tongue over where he drew blood, before closing your lips over his in a intricate dance you could never get enough of. "don't hide from me, teyam. i want to hear you, let me hear how good i make you feel." this little routine of yours didn't last long, until one day, you found yourself in the same position, enjoying your view, before you felt his core contracting and his arms encircling you and all of a sudden you're on your back, him still deep in you, and your little pained yelp was only met with a small chuckle and tongue lapping at your neck and jaw, leaving love bites everywhere in its wake. "i think it's time for you to be the one squirming for a change, hmm, yawne?" from that day on, the man will treat your body like an uncharted map filled with treasures that he's incredibly eager to uncover. he won't stop until he knows every erogenous spot and exactly when, and how, and where to touch, to lick, to bite, to suck - he wants nothing more than to see you come undone beneath him until you're crying from how overstimulated you are. nothing gets him off more than seeing you cum. "teyam, p-please, no more. i can't, argh, fuck!" his face is covered in your slick and cum as he's lapping at your folds once more, curling his fingers in you, stroking your walls in the spot he knows will get you to submit and allow him to do what he does best. "just one more, yawne. i need to make sure my baby's having a good time."

praise kink

"always doing so well for me, love." neteyam loves praising you. as someone who's constantly fought for his father's approval growing up, he knows how far being told you're doing well can go. "you feel fucking amazing, baby." he will shower you in praises as he's thrusting in you with enough force to knock the air out of your lungs, legs propped on his shoulders, dirty little whimpers and the sound of skin of skin the only thing that can be heard in your marui. "taking me so well, yawne." in a similar vein, neteyam loves being praised. nothing gets him to the brink of orgasm faster than when he can tell you're having a good time, then when he can tell he's making your eyes roll in the back of your head in unadulterated pleasure. "f-fuck, teyam! that feels so good! don't st-stop, please!" he feels himself twitch inside you at your words, and when your screams fill his ears with the third orgasm he's managed to coax out of you, he knows he's close, ready to fill you up. "i need you to come in me, teyam, please!" "yeah? can't wait for you to make me a dad, yawne. you're gonna be the most beautiful mum ever. make me the happiest man on the planet, i swear." the thought of you, plump and glowing, carrying his child, pushes him over the edge and he comes, thick spurts of warm cum coating your pretty walls, just the way he likes it. he smiles softly as the high subsides, the euphoria of having you by his side, of being able to do this with you everyday of his life so overpowering it almost hurts, and he takes his time trailing soft kisses in the crook of your neck."tell me how good i make you feel again, yawne." he can be such a brat i love him so much you honour

bonus: aftercare

not a kink, but this man is the blueprint when it comes to aftercare. he'd take care of you like it was his only job, from cradling your body in his arms, cooing gently and kissing your tears away, to taking his time cleaning you with a soft damp cloth, so you don't have to even get up, to whispering unending love letters on your skin in light touches and tender kisses, in words of i love you and you're everything to me and forever.

why did this turn fluffy at the end what is this who am i???

taglist: @fanboyluvr @yagirlheree @teyamsbitch

Neteyam's favorite sex positions and how he'll go with his mate when heated moments ?

i've been on a neteyam dryspell recently, but @cinetrix and @draiochtwrites are slowly pulling me back to the side of righteousness with their amazing gifs/pictures/art so i'm happy to be writing for him again. also i know i said i wouldn't write cause of i'm sick af, but i can't help myself.

na'vi compendium: yawne - love, muntxate - mate

wc: 350 words

smut under the cut, minors dni. 🔞

Neteyam's favourite position will always be missionary. That man is a pleasure dom for sure, as much is cannon in my head. He always takes his time getting you ready, making sure you're nice and stretched before he fucks you. He can't help the little smirk that tries him when you squirm beneath his touch as he runs his fingers up your thighs, from your ankles to your hips, before spreading you nice and wide, so he can revel in the way your slick is running down your ass and onto the fabric of the mat.

"All this for me, ma muntxate? You look so good, so good. Can't wait to taste you, my love."

You're at least 2 orgasms in before he even considers himself and his own needs, your slick covering his chin and mouth, and the groans of pleasure he lets out as he swipes his tongue over his bottom lip, making sure not a single drop of you goes to waste, build up the pressure in your core once more.

"P-please, 'Teyam. I need you in me."

He loves nothing more than to watch you, every twitch and spasm on your face as he enters you slowly, loves nothing more than to see you react to him, the little moans and cries you can't help exhale once he bottoms out in you, the way your head pushes back and back arches, the way you grip the edges of the mat to ground you as the pleasure becomes overwhelming.

"Yawne, I need you to look at me. I want to see you, want you to show me how good I make you feel."

He loves being able to kiss you, your lips, your neck, your jaw as his thrusts become more erratic and uncoordinated, as he gets close to his own release, as your legs wrap around his back, pulling him deeper in you. He loves being able to look into your eyes as you both come together, as he can feel you squeezing him and milking his cock dry.

"Always so good for me, yawne."

Can you write one with neteyam pls? you’re like smol and cute and he likes to pick you up all the time and do silly things with you bc of your size. Just cute and wholesome 🫶

i keep saying i won't take any requests, but then I can't help myself hahahaha.

hope you enjoy x

wc: 500

At this point in your life, you think you spent more time in Neteyam's arms than you spent with your feet firmly planted on the ground. You told him you hated it, told him it made you feel weak and feeble, and you meant it to a certain extent, but God, did it also make you feel spoiled and exuberant... and loved. He saw through your pretence, as he always tended to, and continued to do it despite your many verbal protests, that were never reinforced with any physical cues, instead moulding to his body as soon as his large arms touched the back of your knees and lifted you.

"You know, for someone who complains so much, you sure look comfortable." he says, half snickering, half rolling his eyes at how your face was buried snugly in his chest, almost dozing off at the steady sway of his body as he walked towards the village.

"Shh. I'm trying to sleep."

"You're such a pain in the ass, you know?"

"I am, and yet you love me anyway. I think that says more about you than it does about me, if I'm honest."

Neteyam couldn't help the uncontrollable urge to keep you close to his side, so close, in fact, that he wasn't truly happy until you were flush against him at all times. He didn't think anything of it. You were human. You were tiny and vulnerable, so it was his responsibility to make sure you were safe, that your feet wouldn't get scratched against the rocks and pointy twigs on the ground, that your legs weren't tired and pained from your walks, that would definitely take a bigger toll on you than on him, that your breath wasn't getting caught in your throat at the increased physical effort that you weren't used to, or weren't meant to withstand on this planet that, while you shared with him, you weren't necessarily built for. In his head, it was not only normal, but expected.

Obviously not everybody agreed, as Kiri and Lo'ak snickered when they joined you two and found you sitting on Neteyam's shoulders, picking up fruits off the lowest hanging branches of a Melon Tree.

"Bro, must you always carry her like she's a baby? You know she has legs, right?"

You joined in, and Neteyam found himself pouting a little, despite his best efforts otherwise. He was used to Lo'ak teasing him, as his brother took very few things in his life seriously, and couldn't begin to understand what a serious, adult relationship entailed, but you? That stung a little.

You shimmied off his shoulders, and dropped so you could wrap your legs around his midsection and your arms around his throat. You placed small, feathery kisses all throughout his neck and upper back, nuzzling your nose behind his ears before you spoke.

"Forget about them. I love it. And I love you."

Suffice it to say his pout dissolved, and so did any ounce of self-restraint when it came to you.

Yeahh !!! 🥰 There were already a lot of fanfics on tumblr ! I remember loving the hype 💕 But I think I mixed the other fanfic of "always forever" tumblr (one of the first Neteyam x reader fanfic out there) And it's later on that I came across your first illicit affairs chapter "Willow" 🥰🌸

Honestly the best Stories of Neteyam ! 💥💞

I am gonna cry too 🥺Time went by so fast holy crap...

I found this Art on Twitter 💙 It's so cute 😌🥴 Neteyam's love language is definetely physical touch 💕

this art rewired my brain i've been thinking about it since you sent it omgggg

also not you calling illicit affairs the best neteyam story i will LITERALLY COLLAPSE!!!!

when's the cruel summer oneshot coming bestie? i'm dying to read it :(((

bestie, ngl, i'm really going through it atm, and i genuinely do not have as much time to write, but i am trying and it is coming, and i this week my goal is to hopefully finish it and chapter iii of monster in me. so i'm praying that it's coming early next week, but i can give you another sneak peak??? 😏

“Do you think they’ve moved on?” Kiri, much like her brother, shared so much with a human, so much more than could ever be said out loud or expressed into words, only to have it taken from her as she moved to Awa’atlu. Unlike Neteyam, though, Kiri wasn’t going to go down without a fight, especially now that the person she loved got an Avatar.

“Do I think who has moved on?” Neteyam knew very well who Kiri was referring to, but half-hoped if he acted oblivious she would just drop it. He should know his sister better than that.

“Stop. You know very well who.”

A sigh so deep it felt like it was exhaled from the pits of Neteyam’s soul escaped him, and he had to think about his answer, something he didn’t want to have to do. 

“I don’t know. I hope she did.” I hope she didn’t. 

“Do you?” 

“…No.” 

“Doesn’t it kill you? Knowing they have Avatars now? Because it kills me.” 

The news of your new Avatars reached Awa’atlu months ago, while Neteyam was having dinner with his now extended family, including his father and mother in law, as well as his mate, and for the first time since the night after you left, Neteyam needed to excuse himself and leave, taking his ikran and flying away, flying for hours, coming so close to just leaving it all behind, just so he could at least catch one glimpse of you again, just so he could hug you and tell you how happy he is for you, how much he hopes this Avatar can finally give you the life you’ve always wanted, the life you were always meant for, so he could watch the tears gather in your eyes and dropping down your face and know that that very image would be enough to confess harsher truths that he should never think to say out loud again, like how he’s still in love with you and always will be, how nobody would ever be able to replace you, how he wishes every day things would be different. 

In those months, Neteyam learnt to accept that much like he’s come to know in his life, and especially after you, some things are not meant to be. He believed in Eywa, and trusted her judgement and her will, and Eywa chose this for him. And he was happy, as happy as he could be, with his current life, with a mate that was strong, and intelligent, and kind and sweet, and incredibly beautiful, and the little baby that she was currently carrying in her womb, the little baby that would make Neteyam the happiest man in the world once they were born. Some things just weren’t meant to be. And your life together, the one you’ve left behind, the one he’s left behind, was one of those things. 

“I have a life now, Kiri. A different life. I have a mate. I can’t think about things like this anymore.” 

Kiri puffed and rolled her eyes, before getting up from her spot on the floor and leaving, but not before she said one last thing. 

“Just because you can’t think about it, doesn’t mean you don’t.” 

i'm really sorry and i hope this makes up for it x it's coming soon, i promise x

part two of the miguel drabble pls i'm begging???

bestie i'm working on it xx i have a little written but I have to focus on my really big examination that's coming up on tuesday, and after that i'll be writing to my heart's (and yours, i hope) content. but here's a little sneak peak x

The vibrating purr reverberating in the room and through his body until it shook him to his core was unmistakable as he slipped past your bedroom window, quiet as the dead of night. Just as unmistakable were the soft, whimpered moans that escaped your plump, parted lips, on which Miguel can see traces of saliva and cum as they stained you, glossy as your favourite cherry-flavoured lip oil. Fuck.

“Ay, muñeca… if only I knew how needy and desperate you’d be without me, I would have never left.” 

“Mi-miguel!” 

There was fumbling, followed by a deep silence that unsettled Miguel. Your eyes, beads of light and love, shone brightly and cut through the darkness that enveloped you both, and he felt his heart stir and his cock twitch in response. You were so beautiful. So innocent, so good… so pure. Nothing like him. He felt guilty at having come back, guilty at once more putting the universe, all the universes in danger just for his own selfish needs, but the grip you had on him, the earth-shattering, unmoving, all-consuming grip felt like enough to risk it all. Especially right now.

“Missed me, doll?”

SOMEONE JUST SENT ME THIS SO I HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU (and maybe I’m the last one to know about the existence of adult neteyam on a direhorse with perfect posture and gorgeous back but idc it inspired me and hopefully it will inspire you)

Argh that does look so much like him omgggg 😩😩😩

WE DESERVED TO SEE THIS JAMES CAMERON IM COMING FOR YOUR SUB-LOVING ASS RIGHT NOW

avatar 1 jake or avatar 2 jake and why

don't mind me, i'm just gonna -

avatar 1 jake is bbg, and i love him and he's a good time, but the shit i would let (and need) dilf!jake to do to me is unending, immoral and honestly should probably be illegal

hii so if monster in me isn't coming today can we get a snippet of whatever you wrote please? i feel like im on a monster in me dryspell 😰 thanks bestie!

hi bestie x sure, i can share a snippet of monster in me, bc you have been so patient and i so appreciate it omg :((( i'm so happy you're excited about and can't wait to share asap xx

“Why did you stay with me?” 

Whatever anger he had immediately dissipated like droplets water of a hot day, replaced by the same fear that was plaguing him early, that not even the adrenaline coursing through his veins could overpower. What was he supposed to say? It's not like he had an answer to give you - he couldn't even conceptualise it for himself, much less put it into words that would make sense, that would ever satisfy your morbid curiosity.

“Answer me, Neteyam.” 

“I don’t know.” 

You rose from your spot on the edge of the lake, and when you turned to face him and your eyes locked, his breath lodged in his throat. You looked anguished, sadder than he's ever seen you, puffy eyes so red, it scared him, cheeks purple and stained, and swollen, wet lips opened to accommodate the heaved breaths and quiet sobs that you tried your hardest to push down, so that he wouldn't see.

It was too late, now. He could see. He could see it all, and it scared him, what you were doing to him, these feelings that were rushing down with enough force to make him crumble under their weight, just like a waterfall that crashed into the river below, warping it with its power.

“No, we’re not doing this shit anymore. My ikran is dead. People are dead, Neteyam. All because of us, because this stupid war, that you caused. That you started. I’m done with the games, and the mystery, and your stupid mouth staying shut. You don’t know? Figure it out. Now.”

say something nice about your favorite mutuals!

there's so many people i want to say something about i am genuinely considering making a whole separate post and pouring all my love and affection for everyone i am mutuals with because THEY DESERVE IT AND I LOVE YOU ALL SO SO MUCH :(((

@tiredmamaissy - my issy baby, she was the first writer mutual i had and i remember hyperventilating to my bf when I saw that notification massively because i was such a fan and it meant so much to me. she was also the first person to reach out to me privately when i got my first anon hater and she made me feel so much better about that whole situation, and i will forever me grateful to her for that

@neteluvr - kendra means so so much to me, she has been with me pretty much since the beginning, and she was one of the people that stuck with me and my writing and i love her so much for that. she commented on EVERY illicit affair/the archer chapter and her feedback made my world, i used to wake up at like 5-6 in the morning to see if she has commented because it meant so much to hear what she had to say. she's probably my first tumblr mutual and i've come to love and respect her so so much, to admire her beauty, intelligence and compassion, and my life wouldn't be the same without her, our chats, our mutual love for ts for sure <3

@lanasblood - my baby lana is doing her own thing at the moment, but i hope when she comes back she sees this because i love and miss her so much, our late night conversations mean the world to me and she's just overall such an incredible, beautiful, funny, intelligent girl, and her writing leaves me genuinely starstruck every time with no fail. BABY I MISS YOU COME BACK TO ME RN!!! :(((

@pandoraslxna - Luna is one of the first people I followed on tumblr and she was a celebrity to me for sure hahahaha, i remember sending her a couple of asks when i first started writing bc I was such a fan of her work and the way she carried herself on the platform. When she followed me back and started reblogging my works i literally screamed and cried, i couldn't believe it hahahaha. I love her so much, I consider her a friend and I'm so happy I met her. Her writing inspires me, her kindness and beauty and openness and unwavering support for her fellow creators speak for themselves, but i will just say i love her a lot and i'm grateful to know her <3

@blue-slxt - my baby blue is such a kind, beautiful, kindred spirit. i haven't known her that long but it feels like a lifetime? i feel so close to her and like i know her and want to know her and want to be around her more and more each day. she is so kind and compassionate, so incredible and heroic, i admire the hell out of her for what she does, for helping to save lives, to change lives each day, i am so grateful for her and i can't wait to celebrate more milestones with her <3 ilysm pookie :(((

@fleurriee - my beautiful flower, she brightens my day in a way you wouldn't believe? not only is she a phenomenal writer, and pretty much the only person (alongside lana) who can get me to like fluff hahahaha, but she is a beautiful, incredible, awe-inspiring, light of a human being. i adore her and miss her so much when she's gone, and i genuinely don't know what i must have done right to manage to meet her in the circumstances that i did <3

@jakexneytiri - dani, my beautiful baby, i love her so much? she genuinely radiates such kindness and positivity, she is such a beautiful soul, full of love and light, and she always makes me feel safe and like i can tell her anything and she would listen and not judge? i am so appreciative of her and everything she's done for this fandom, i appreciate how tirelessly she works to make sure this is a healthy, happy community, i love talking and thirsting with her about dilf jake, and i LOVE her creativity and passion she puts in every project :(( ily baby

@neytris - i genuinely ADORE su with all my heart??!?!?! like she is one of the absolute funniest, most beautiful, kindest person i've ever met and I DIE every time i see her posts, and reblogs, her tags, i feel like i want to be su when i grow up and that's that!!!! i love you bb and never stop being you, because you are absolutely the brightest star <3 this barbie is hyperventilating over THE barbie x

@sulieykte - i feel like talking about lys is redundant, because no words or essays or novels can describe what she means to me, i'm literally tearing up just thinking about it. she has genuinely been my rock the past few months and i don't know what i would have done without her? i cannot imagine my life without her anymore, without talking to her daily, without sharing my every thought, woe and achievement with her and knowing that she'll feel it and understand, the same way I do with her. she's my soulmate, my twisted sister, and i love her to the moon and to saturn :((

it's 11pm and i'm writing this half asleep and i promise i'll do a part two in order to appreciate everyone the way they deserve <3 i love you besties xoxoxo

I LOOOOVE THIS SERIES SMMMMM

hey bb x thank you so much for being interested and excited about it, it means so so much to me :( in terms of release dates, as i work on these fics in the free time i have in between my work days, i can't really promise a concrete day :( i try to aim for the weekend, but especially recently i've been drowning in work, so it's a bit harder to get it done. i am hoping i can finish monster in me chapter vii tomorrow or wednesday at the absolute latest!! xx

and in terms of your questions, they will also be answered in the next chapter (i hope) and as a sign of gratitude for being so patient and being excited about it, here's another little snippet x

xoxo

u always drop a sneak peak of a final chapter tho plssss i don't want to go in it blindly and cry my eyes out again lol

.... :((( why must you do this to me anonnie!!! fine, the only sneak peak of the final chapter of Cruel Summer I will give :(((

His words were soft-spoken and quiet, almost bashful, and you noticed his heart picking up speed, thumping loudly in the ear that was pressed tightly against his chest. “I didn’t know what to do for your birthday, considering you’re already blessed with the best gift in the world… my presence in your life, that is…” you snickered sarcastically, and he continued. “…but, every time I go on a mission, I think of you, and your voice that tells me to be safe, and I see your eyes looking back at me as you stitch my wounds afterwards, and I make it a point to grab a pebble at the end of each mission, to give to you. But, for one reason or another, I never did. So here.” He grabbed your hand in his, turning it upwards so your palm was facing the ceiling, and dropped the item in it. 

A necklace. A gorgeous, stunning, impossibly beautiful choker, with tens, if not hundreds of beads and pebbles of different colours and textures woven into it. It looked majestic, fit for a queen, or a Tsa’hik, and you felt tears pool in your eyes at its meaning, at how long he must have been collecting these for, with you in mind, at how long it must have taken to make, at how much it meant to him, and now to you. He took it from you and you held your hair so he could fasten it around your neck. It fit you perfectly, and you smiled up at him, raising an eyebrow. 

“How did you know it was going to fit?” He smiled and your fingers caressed your cheek, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. 

“Let’s just say I’ve had my hand wrapped around your throat enough times to have a pretty good frame of reference.”

You couldn’t help the blush in your cheeks, or the way your reached back for your new gift so you could trace your fingers over it, imprinting the feel of every bead in your mind, thinking of each one and trying to correlate it to a time, or a place, to a hunt or a battle he was part of that you weren’t, but how you were ever-present in his mind. 

“Do you like it?” 

“I love it, ‘teyam. Thank you.” 

“Making this necklace, it was a good reminder that you have been the only constant in my life since I was born. No matter how much my life has changed, how much I changed, you’ve always been there to brave the storm with me. And I love you, Vol. You’re my best friend. Forever.” 

“Forever.” 

hope you enjoyed x

As your grip on his hand increased to an almost unbearable degree, Neteyam knew the contraction must be coming, and with it, most likely, his son. His heart was beating so loud it was echoing in his ears and dulling the roaring screams being pushed past your lips. 

“I swear to God, this baby better be the most amazing baby that has ever lived cause if not, this will not have been worth it!!!” 

The desperation in your tone mixed with your pained squeals and the outrageousness of your comments threw everyone in the room into a copious fit of laughter, one which you didn’t find particularly amusing based on the scowl you almost broke your neck to send Neteyam’s way. 

“Sorry, Atan. It will be worth it, because he will be the most amazing baby that has ever lived. You’ll see.”

“WE STILL DON’T KNOW IF IT’S A BOY!” you say through your contraction, pushing with all your might, until a new voice, a new scream breaches through both your realities and alters them to allow for a kind of love you have never experienced before, a deeper love than either of you thought was possible. 

“Congratulations, Ace.” Neteyam saw Norm pick up the baby and cut the umbilical cord. “Congratulations, Neteyam. It’s a boy.” 

You were both crying now, tears of overwhelming happiness and joy drowning you both, and you spoke through sobs and hiccups. 

“How did you know?” 

Neteyam kissed the top of your head. 

“It’s a story for another time. Thank you, Atan. Thank you for making me a father. Thank you for allowing me to see you be the best mother in the world. I am so grateful and so proud of you.”
