Norm Spellman Hcs - Tumblr Posts

Hi! I saw that you write Avatar 2009 stuff and one thing (well, one person) came to mind: NORM SPELLMAN. I’ve always been an absolute SUCKER for adorkable nerds in any media so obviously, 11 yr old me fell HEAD OVER HEELS for this boy. I’d like to request Norm with an s/o who cares the world for him and gets incredibly anxious and protective when he gets hurt, even when it’s a minor injury (This could be either before or after his avatar gets shot down, your choice).

Thank you for the request!! Apologies that it has taken me forever to get too

Headcanons for Norm Spellman having a super protective and anxious s/o:

Going to Pandora was a dream come true for both you and Norm

It was beyond exciting to be able to work on a whole different planet

However it was insane how quickly things grew to be unstable

Quaritch had his plan for bulldozers to take down home tree, of course you all didn't know it was really happening until it happened

After that everything went down hill

Quaritch and his men were pulling people out of the link machines without warning

This immediately put everyone on edge, especially you. It was dangerous to just disrupt a session in the link machine

You didn't want that happening to Norm

At this point you had your fair share of arguments with Quaritch and his guys over the safety of Norm (and others ofc)

Of course Norm is the one who is standing there holding you back from starting fights with a bunch of marines

As things escalated, so did your anxiety and protectiveness

Quaritch had basically dragged you all into a jail cell, they had to consider sedating you to put it lightly

During the escape you never left Norms side, terrified that if you did something would happen

Then the subject of war was brought up. You were a mess. You didn't want Norm to fight, tried everything to get him not too

But he insisted. He knew this was the right thing to do and you knew it too so you settled for fighting along side him to help protect him

He wasn't too crazy about the idea of you fighting either

It was intense. There was gun fire, smoke, and yelling everywhere

You got separated from him for a split second, trying to help one of the Na'vi escape safely

When you tried to look back for him... he was no where to be seen

So you used the microphone piece to try and reach him, he didn't answer.

You kept asked for him, begging for him to say something so you knew he was okay. You sprinted through the forest, searching everywhere

You finally saw his avatar, laying face down on the ground with a bullet wound. He was unconscious, barely breathing, a slow pulse. An injury this bad could kill him, not just his avatar.

You couldn't bare to leave his side. With teary eyes you put pressure on his wounds, praying and begging that he would make it.

But the avatars breathing slowed and stopped along with the heart beat. He was gone...

Neytiri and Jake had managed to track you down after everything was over, they mourned with you and managed to get you up and moving after what felt like an eternity

You wanted to see him, to see his human body, to officially say goodbye to him

When you got there he was laying on the ground of the lab, broken glass everywhere... but he had his mask on and somehow by some miracle he was breathing... he was alive!

It wasn't until days later that Norm had awakened, after getting proper medical care, you were beyond relieved and thankful and definitely hugged him a little too hard :)

You were never letting him out of your sight again
