Moonlight poured through the woven structures of the Marui, but inside it was the blue steady glow of a datapad that illuminated the two figures resting close together. Liora lay on her stomach over the huge mat, her legs swaying gently in the air, her bare feet brushing one another in an unconscious rhythm. Her toes curled now and then, in unison with the shy excitement of her voice as she scrolled through her research.
“…the clusters of glimmer coral were pulsing together, responding to the school of glider fin passing nearby.” she murmured, her voice barely louder than the hush of the sea outside, “They react to movement! I ran a test earlier and… Oh! The current shifted during the second dive, so I’ll have to try again tomorrow…”
Assara was on her side, her body curved protectively around the tiny human woman nestled next to her, a powerful arm draped over her waist, a quiet claim. Her ear flickered at the sound of Liora's voice and a smirk tugged at the corner of her lips, sharp and fond. Her unscarred seeing eye opened lazily, watching how the datapad’s glow reflected against the human's sun-kissed skin.
“Still speaking so much after jumping over rocks and chasing fish all day, little light?” she teased, her voice a low husky tone. “You Sky People truly do hide endless energy in those tiny bodies.”
Liora blushed and peeked over her shoulder at the Na'vi woman with a shy smile.
“I just… didn’t want to forget anything before I recorded it.”
Assara hummed in amusement, a deep throaty sound that rumbled softly down Liora’s spine. Her tail shifted with languid movements, slithering forward like a curious creature. With playful tenderness, it coiled around Liora’s legs, sliding up toward her thighs in a slow, deliberate caress.
“If you’re not tired enough to sleep…” Assara leaned forward, her warm breath brushing against Liora’s skin, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Then perhaps I should help… tire you out a bit more.”
Liora gasped and gripped the sides of her datapad as if it might steady her. Her blush bloomed across her cheeks up to her ears.
“A-Assara…” she squeaked.
The Na’vi let out a chuckle, low and rich. She leaned in further, nuzzling into the curve of Liora’s neck, lips brushing gently over her pulse.
“I never tire of that sound.” she whispered with affection.
A ticklish giggle escaped Liora, soft, sweet, and utterly disarming in the way that never failed to melt Assara’s guarded heart. The Na’vi’s smirk faded into something gentler.
“This place… was empty before you.” Assara whispered, her voice unguarded, filled with rare vulnerability, “But your voice, your brightness... it filled everything, little light. Even me.”
Liora stilled, her breath caught as her eyes widened, shimmering with emotion. Then, she carefully set her datapad aside, her fingers trembling faintly. Slowly, she shifted onto her side against Assara’s chest, seeking the warmth and safety she knew only there. She said nothing. There was no need for words. Her gesture and her grateful smile spoke for her.
Assara drew her closer, her arms closing around Liora’s body like a shell embracing a precious pearl. Her tail remained wrapped around her mate protectively. Lowering her head, she pressed her brow gently against Liora’s, just above the edge of her breathing mask, and both of them closed their eyes.
The datapad’s glow faded. The sea sang outside the Marui, soft and eternal. And within, two souls from different worlds who had once wandered alone, now held each other close.
In each other’s arms, they were home.

And they were roomates maruimates ❤️
Tagging @inolaphoenix because she so kindly asked to be notified whenever I posted writing about these two. It’s just a very short scene this time to go along with my art, sorry! Still, I hope you enjoy it ❤️❤️
More from this:
Storyboard sequence I made from the video game "Baldur's Gate 3"!! Love Karlach.
They are the sweetest ❤️😍❤️
My OCs: Ana and Ean'tu 💜🥰
Its hard to wake up early to leave your pretty husband in bed, when he is that lovely and cute 👀🤭
As I said before this looks so sacred ❤️ There’s such a touching, reverent energy to this. The scale really brings out how small Ean’tu must feel standing before the remnants of his clan and the loss, but also the peace after the storm… it hits so deep. The fallen torch and the mats with the fire stones give a hint to the life that used to be here. The place has been quiet for a long time. It's a bittersweet remaining piece of an old memory. And I love how the bright color of the flowers contrasts with everything else.
There’s something so redemptory and poetic about him returning here with a human as his mate/wife. It feels like a new beginning for everyone, a new generation that chose a better path of peace. His Alitawe ancestors would smile at him. And it's so sweet that he relies on Ana to support and accompany him through his trauma. Truly beautiful work 🫶🫶
Concept art from the cave wall from the Alitawe village, where everyone who had their coming of age leaves a handprint 💜
This picture is sad tho, coz it shows the first time Ean'tu comes back to his old village. Everything is distroyed and all the good memories he had are overshadowed from his trauma. But this special wall is still intact and he looks up at it and remembers all the people he lost. Family and friends. His brothers and sisters.
The other 2 clans (Yekape and Zeynuma) came here and left some flowers to mourn the many dead Alitawe. They also lost friend and Family with them.
Ean'tu could have never come here without Ana. He was so afraid to come back at the place where the roots of his trauma are laying. Where the Humans raided his home. But he is not alone, he brought his Love Ana with him, coz she gives him hold.
I hope you like my concept and enjoys the artwork 💜
oh hell yeah salamander time I love salamanders and how they can't hunt :) i mean they can, but they mostly try :) this is Barro and Charco after their first rain of the spring, in Chiapas, Volcán tacaná! the bug right there is a Nucú, they are more of summer, but I wanted to add the nucú cause its very iconic!

"... Assara's entire body froze in place the moment soft, trembling lips crashed against hers. A sharp jolt shot through her, a mix of shock and an unnamed feeling that made her heart hammer against her ribcage in ways she couldn't understand. The rational part of her mind screamed in protest to stop this, to pull away, to put this small, weak woman back in her place and regain control. But she didn't move. Something deep within her, something she had long buried beneath heavy layers of rage, loneliness and sorrow snapped, giving way to an unstoppable flood. And then, Stars help her, she found herself kissing the girl back. "
I'm cooking for these two ❤️
Quaritch's best nightmare or worst dream 😂❤️ (I still think they deserve their own written story) Such a gorgeous siren!
