  Summary

  In which Tamtey begins to realize he has feelings for So'lek, a male Na'vi—something that goes against everything Alma and Mercer taught them about love and finding a partner during their time in TAP.
  Tamtey will have to unlearn those old, hateful teachings and accept the growing feelings he has had for So'lek since the first time their paths crossed. But of course, he won't have to do it alone.
