''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5721218/1/Into_the_Wild Into the Wild]]'' is a fic written by a LoveToHate fan of ''Film/{{Avatar}}''. It tells the story of [[ActionGirl Jade West]], a Corporal in the RDA security force. She survives a Samson crash in the middle of the jungle on Pandora and decides to make her way back to Hell's Gate. However, she meets a Na'Vi that can speak English who offers to guide her home - whom she dubs Marty. Along the way they discuss the FridgeLogic of the movie's universe and shift the movie's BlackAndWhiteMorality to GreyAndGrayMorality.

[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant It has absolutely nothing to do with]] the [[Film/IntoTheWild book or film of the same name]] made about the life of Christopher [=McCandless=].

!!''Into the Wild'' provides examples of:
%%* AnnoyingArrows: [[spoiler:Jade really wishes it were so.]]
%%* ArmiesAreEvil: Inverted. Jade and her [[BigBrotherInstinct brother]] Michael are arguably the most moral characters.
%%* ApologizesALot: Marty.
%%* BodyPaint: [[spoiler:Rather [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic symbolically]] gets washed off Marty when he takes Jade's body to the Tree of Souls.]]
* BreakTheHaughty: Marty's time with Jade makes him stop parroting old sentiments he got from his tribe.
%%* BreakTheCutie:... but then [[spoiler:Marty kills the only person who ever cared about him.]]
* BizarreAlienBiology: Marty assumes that Jade has a neural link as well, and asks her where it is because he can't see it in her hair.
* CallASmeerpARabbit: Every animal on Pandora is called by their RDA-assigned names. Probably not accidental considering [[ShownTheirWork the rest of the details]].
%%* CrapsackWorld: In Jade's words 'Crowded, poor, crap food and it smells bad.'
%%* CharacterDevelopment: Basically the whole point of the first half. Overlaps with PaintingTheMedium (see below).
* ChaoticStupid: Jade's opinion of the RDA falls somewhere between this and StupidEvil.
* CurbStompBattle: Jade tries to knife-fight a full-grown Na'Vi warrior. It doesn't end well.
%%* DeathWorld: Lampshaded by Jade at the start, but in fact she and the Na'Vi are only inconvenienced by the fauna once.
* DeusExMachina: Michael responds to the one at the end of the movie with the much-needed [[PrecisionFStrike What the fuck?]]
* DontYouDarePityMe: Jade doesn't want pity for [[spoiler:her failed marriage]] and is proud of having never cried in five years. [[spoiler:But she finally does just before she dies.]]
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Michael is trapped in the jaws of a Thantor. What does he do? Pulls the pins on all his grenades just as it swallows him.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Jade's brother Michael sees her in danger while in a helicopter. What does he do? Jump out, of course. Then he takes off his mask, gives it to her and beats up Marty with his bare hands.
%%* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Jade's catchphrase becomes "I hate this planet."
* {{Expy}}: Jade is basically Kate from ''Fanfic/TwoWeeksNotice'' (another fic by the same author) and it looks like [[Literature/{{Nation}} Mau]] wandered onto the set and turned into a smurfy-cat.
* FatalFlaw: Marty's overwhelming self-esteem issues. [[spoiler:They're only resolved after he accidentally kills Jade.]]
* FridgeLogic: [[spoiler:In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5721218/5/Into_the_Wild Ch 5]], Selfridge sees Jade covered in mud, with a Na'vi, and assumes it's some sort of 'hippy love-in protest'. Problem is, the only way onto the planet is with the RDA. Unless there are actually hippies who lied their way onto the ''Venture Star'' then ran off into the jungle, that's pretty much impossible. Even if there is, the RDA should have records of everyone on the planet. Heck, even Selfridge points out that he should have been told about the Samson crash.]]
%%* GasMaskMooks: Jade averts this by taking off her mask in front of Marty twice. [[spoiler:Averted again when she is dying and Marty takes it off so she can feel the rain on her face.]]
%%* GrudgingThankYou: Michael gives one to Marty.
%%* {{Heavyworlder}}: Averted. Jade is a competent fighter, but her fights with Na'Vi go [[CurbStompBattle just about as expected]].
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Jade is frosty because her ex-husband cheated on her. Marty is arrogant because he's the laughingstock of his tribe.]]
%%* HumansAreBastards: Marty seems a firm believer in this, until Jade shows him otherwise.
%%* ImmuneToBullets: Perhaps, but not to [[KillItWithFire grenades]].
%%* IronicEcho: [[HappyRain It's]] [[SubvertedTrope raining]] and "A Na'Vi admitting wrongdoing. Isn't that a sight."
%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jade is actually a nice person once she starts to trust Marty.
* JerkassWoobie: Marty.
%%* KnightInSourArmour: Jade.
%%* Kuudere: Jade.
* MeaningfulName: Multiple inversions:
** Jade symbolizes immortality and resurrection. [[spoiler:She dies.]]
** Marty carries an infamous perfectionist name. [[spoiler:He is the most flawed character in the story, and is responsible for Jade's death.]]
%%* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler:So Marty says goodbye once he lays Jade next to the Tree of Souls.]]
%%* OddFriendship: [[TheMovie The Fanfic.]]
* OnlyAFleshWound: [[spoiler:When Jade gets hit in the stomach with an arrow, she survives long enough for the neurotoxin to kill her. [[TearJerker She's babbling deliriously the whole time]].]]
* PaintingTheMedium: The story is third person, but from Jade's perspective. At first Marty is only referred to as 'it'. Then as 'he'. Eventually she gives him the name Marty and he's referred to by that name for the rest of the story. [[spoiler:The narrative partly shifts to him as their respective sides gear up for war, completely transferring to his side when Jade dies.]]
%%* ScienceIsBad: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with.]] Marty seems to think this, but Jade explains to him that the RDA could essentially heal the world with the Unobtanium from the mining expedition.
* ShownTheirWork: There's quite a bit of detail that suggests the author searched the Pandorapedia.
* TearJerker: The ending.
