    Summary

    Another Elisabet lives AU through the events of Horizon Forbidden West and I add my humble cake to the buffet table. Excerpt:

    It was stupid, childish, to fear one woman's reaction to her existence. After all, Aloy had faced down men three times her size, deadly hunter-killers, and extinction-crazed AI's--what was meeting the woman she was based on compared to all that? But still, the fear of rejection was there. Setting aside her childish desires to avoid her own pain, Aloy was forced to recognize that she needed Elisabet. It was hard to admit, but Aloy was failing in her mission to restore GAIA. Elisabet might be the only person in the world that would know where to begin.

    In the end, it was this knowledge that leads Aloy to her decision. The world was more important than what Elisabet felt about a clone of herself.

    Summary

    “What happens if I have to choose between saving you and saving the world?”

    “That,” Seyka says firmly, “is not a choice.”

    ———————————

    As the GAIA gang prepares to take on Nemesis, Aloy considers just how much she’s willing to lose.

    Summary

    Seyka and Alva have reunited the Quen at Legacy's Landfall!

    Alva is excited to meet the Quen marine Aloy has spoken so highly of. And to shoo her into Aloy's eagerly waiting arms (because Aloy is definitely eager if all those late-night calls to Alva about Seyka mean anything).

    Save the Quen, reunite the girls, save the world. Easy.

    Except not in practice.

    Summary

    There’s a space growing between her skin and her soul, and it’s brighter than a sparker. She’s a bubble stretched over a bomb, and Aloy dizzyingly thinks that if she could just burst she could be powerful again. She tries to fortify herself, digging her spear at an upward angle that will hopefully slow a foe, hands trembling around her blast sling, trying to hear anything over the tinny recording she can’t get out of.

     

    Aloy scans something dangerous, but for once it isn't something she can hunt.

    "The Zeniths - Tilda - always said she was paranoid, but Beta always found she had good reason to be; her intuition rarely led her wrong. Naturally, this is no exception."

    Summary

    "They all scattered, each of them covering different territories, combing through the Forbidden West. From the jagged cliffs of the coast to the oppressive heat of the Daunt, every inch of the land was searched. Aloy led the charge, her mind a whirl of dread, her Focus constantly scanning for any trace, any clue that might lead her to Vaera. Everyone was on high alert—asking around, tracking rumors, following even the faintest of leads. Yet, the more they searched, the more the weight of uncertainty pressed down on them. Time was slipping away, and the longer Vaera was missing, the less likely it seemed that she'd just wandered off by accident."

    Vaera gets kidnapped by a gang of rebel holdouts- potentially an AU, unless I stop being a coward.

    PAY ATTENTION TO THE TAGS!

    This is VERY dark and VERY graphic. There is violence, there is gore, there is described Non-Con. This is NOT a happy story, I literally just wanted to torture my own character. Anyway, if you're into this stuff please enjoy.

    Summary

    For as long as Aloy can remember, the mission, whatever it may be, has always been the most important thing. Problems to solve, people to help, a world to save—there’s never been room for anything, anyone else.

    Because letting people in, letting people know her, really know her, letting them see all her flaws and weaknesses is a risk beyond anything she’s ever faced. It’s easy enough to push people away and maintain a comfortable—a safe—distance.

    Until Kotallo. Until suddenly she wants things she’s never allowed herself to want. Until suddenly she has them.

    But after a lifetime of walls and running, learning to be vulnerable, to trust someone with all the fragile, broken pieces of herself? That takes time.

    Summary

    Part 5 Book 1: Aloy's team begins to assemble and gets to know each other as Aloy gets closer to getting what's necessary for GAIA to capture HEPHAESTUS... and does many errands along the way.

    Kotallo joins Aloy's team and has fun adventures on the way to her Base. And then wonders what it means for him to be in her Base. There may have been a few cultural misunderstandings he is starting to clear up....

    Zo settles in, and has some good conversations and good connection with Varl, GAIA, Kotallo, and Aloy although she and Erend are clashing over meals.

    Erend finds ways to stay active and useful —and to have some fun!— while struggling with using the Focus and the paperwork involved in both his roles.

    And, Beta figures out her place on her genetic sister's team, even though it's like nothing she hoped for.

    Game Progression: The Eye of the Earth, and Cradle of Echoes
    Mentioned Side Quests: Thirst for the Hunt, The Wound in the Sand, The Deluge
    Pre-GEMINI, The Second Verse
    Expect confusing spoilers since this is a canon divergent AU that loosely follows the original.

      Bookmark Notes:

      Zo had noticed that duality about him first: a lilting tenor of nervous chatter over a baritone hum of steadfast care. Similarly, he had zinging banter that harmonized with his warm friendship for his friend, Erend.

      And in his melodic chatter, the pure notes of love and respect were chased by phrases of persistent frustration, exasperation, and a touch of awe for his formidable mother.

      The Nora, it seemed, venerated Mothers and Children, and the Utaru had similar beliefs about life cycles of growth and rebirth. Another duet between the two of them.
      ---
      Perhaps GAIA+ARTEMIS had been what Beta most needed: a huntress goddess of shadows and moonlight, protector of maidens, traveler and explorer. But Aloy was her own Artemis. She had GAIA+MINERVA, the goddess of wisdom and war and strategy.

    Summary

    The Battle of the Alight is over. Back at Gaia Prime Aloy stumbles upon something hidden.
    A stroke of luck leads to new possibilities and someone now ancient. Dreams might become real, but it's never so easy, and Aloy will find that sometimes things you've dreamed about, might just shatter in reality.

    A story that is somewhat left of canon. Follows events of the second game, but with a lot of added things and drama.

    Summary

    When Zero Dawn was pitched, no one expected Elisabet Sobeck to perform magic. Using the occult, Elisabet was able to contact a goddess, who bound herself to Earth and with the help of the Alpha's of Zero Dawn, was able to use science to save the world. Elisabet sacrificed herself to save Gaia, but on her journey home took a chance with Far Zenith Cryostasis. Now she's back and the world is so different from what she remembers. Now Lis will have to find her "daughter", save the world, and not die while doing so. Thankfully she has a new friend, who's ready to help and her magic ready to keep her safe! A twist to an Elisabet Lives story.

    "It's strange; to want something for as long as she has, but not knowing how to ask for it once presented in front of her. Of course Beta is not innocent in this, and keeps her distance as if she had never closed it, but Aloy can tell she wants something. Maybe it's the same thing she wants."

    Summary

    So this fic takes place right after Tilda saves Aloy from the Gemini Cauldron. In this fic I am ignoring the existence of Nemesis lol and instead we're gonna pretend Tilda's lie is the truth and the biggest threat (besides the failing teraforming system) are the Far Zeniths being greedy bastards wanting to reset the system to their preferences while wiping everyone out. Good times. Granted the plot doesn't mean much cause its 90% smut! Mwahahaha! Aloy is kidnapped by Tilda and at her mercy. She's regretted leaving Lis behind all these years. She's ready to make up for lost time.
