Summary
It’s the year 3048, and Earth is overpopulated, under-resourced and suffocating to death under compounded centuries of abuse.
Humanity senses they will run out of time long before they advance enough to reverse centuries of environmental pollution or learn to accelerate planetary terraformation.
Here starts Plan A - asking the not-so-friendly neighbours for help, except, well, unfortunately, human diplomacy and Eridian diplomacy are totally incompatible.
No biggie (medium to little whoop). A minor revision and now Plan A is - Diplomacy the shit out of these aliens using lab-grown and human-piloted Eridian bodies.
Enter Ryland Grace and his unintentional Plan B - Fumbling accidentally into seducing the celebrated Eridian Engineer who saved Erid and his brilliant head scientist husband.

Summary
“I just think it’s kind of a messed-up thing to do to a baby,” I said.
AKA: the one with time travel. When the opportunity arises, Rocky and Ryland can't turn down the chance to save Rocky's crew.
It all kind of spirals from there.

Summary
Tommy licks his cracked lips again. His nose is still bleeding.
“Nice to meet you, Tommy, sir,” the Na’vi smiles placatingly, almost like nothing about this situation is fucking absurd. “My name is Neteyam. I’m glad you’re okay.”(Tommy wakes up alone. That’s a lie — Tommy wakes up to two Na’vi, a forest he had dreamt to see, and a conviction:
Being an older sibling is a death sentence in the Sully family.)Bookmarked by traybake

Summary
Speaking of them..the scientist had stepped closer to Quaritch, pointing at something on a data pad, his mouth moving fast. The twitch in his hand seemed worse now, his fingers jerking, and the flash of light from the watch hit Spider’s face again.
He squinted and looked away.
