Let It Be Enough

Summary:

More than a decade after the Na’vi repelled the human invasion, the sky people have returned and they’re here to stay. Miles Quaritch has awoken with the size, strength, and speed of a recombinant avatar body and his sights are set on Jake Sully, leader of the Na’vi insurgency. He only needs to find him.

Petra Hart interned at Hell’s Gate fifteen years ago, a prodigy of Dr. Augustine who was one of the few humans chosen to stay on Pandora. Determined to defend her home, she will stop at nothing to make up for being locked in a jail cell during the last war, unable to fight.

When Petra is taken by the recombinants of Project Phoenix while desperately defending Sully’s children, Quaritch convinces her to ride along with them in search of the Sully family. He wields an ultimatum she never knew existed: her avatar, brought from earth. That, of course, and threat of death. Petra agrees. She can buy Sully time. She only hopes it is enough.

Completed. This is an enemies-to-lovers romance between OC Petra Hart and recombinant Miles Quaritch that sprinkles in a redemption arc.

Notes:

For all intents and purposes, assume the Sully’s portion of the story is following the canon Avatar 2 script concurrently unless otherwise specified (until we enter Part 2 and go beyond canon). Spider doesn’t exist in this fic. Yeet. The first couple of chapters are brief to bring you up to the start of Avatar 2 when they first encounter Quaritch because I know he’s who you’re here for.

Enjoy!

 

Jan 1, 2026 — So, uh… I’m rewriting this fic! If you’d like to follow along with the new (and improved?) version of this story, The Edge of Redemption is up now.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter Text

"The most dangerous thing about Pandora is that you may grow to love her too much."
