Summary
Before Aloy. Before the Red Raids. Before it all.
This is a story about Helis and his wife — a tale of love, duty, and the choices that shaped him into the man he would become. Set twenty years before the events of Horizon Zero Dawn.
Can be read as a standalone.
In Nonmetallic Shards I softened Helis’s character a lot, and I really like him there. I also like him in the game, because besides the fact that he is insanely GOOD, they for some reason gave him a personal tragedy with the death of his family, let Aloy choose an option where she can feel pity for him during the final battle, and, in the end, he can’t just kill her without turning it into a ritual.
That’s why I picture him this way.
And this story will be an attempt to marry Shards with canon—a prequel.Series

Summary
A Nil-centric, mostly canon compliant-ish exploration of our favorite Carja murder hobo, with a backstory growing up as a child and a young man in the Sundom before going off to war during the time of the Mad King Jiran. This will follow Nil through his time in the Forbidden West and the Liberation of Meridian all the way through meeting up with Aloy and the Battle of the Alight. Very slow burn Nil/Aloy fic with a happy ending...for now!
Very minor spoilers, lore, and characters from Horizon Forbidden West and Horizon Call of the Mountain are used to tell his story, but are not necessary to have played before reading
NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
After days of seemingly endless torture in the Sun-Ring, Aloy wakes in an unfamiliar room, barely conscious and torn apart by her wounds.
And there, standing over her, is the last person she ever expected to see—Helis, the man who condemned her to die.
Forced to share her recovery with the man who murdered her father, Aloy must grapple not only with her physical pain, but with the ghosts of betrayal, hatred... and something far more dangerous.
Can time heal all wounds—or are some scars never meant to fade?Canon-Divergent AU.
Sylens never came to save her from the Sun-Ring. Helis didn’t destroy her Focus.
A (very) slow burn between Helis and Aloy, with heavy Zero Dawn spoilers and major plot deviations. If you're into enemies-to-something-more and emotionally intense dynamics, you're in the right place. Enjoy!*Currently updating at a slower pace due to summer workload. Still ongoing!*

Summary
Years before the Faro Plague, there was Project Scale. Project Scale involved scientists who took the lives of fifty people in order to make bioweapons. But they weren't ready for when the Faro robots went rogue, and Project Scale was quickly dismissed, leaving the fifty alone for a thousand years, abandoned to the elements.
Until the Eclipse finds their hidden nest, where one awakens to bring chaos into the world.
Aloy doesn't know what to make of the mysterious creature that her Focus says is a wyvern. She's never heard of it, never found anything in the Embrace relating to it. It just appeared in her life, breathing fire on the people who took Rost away from her.
Maybe, these two lost souls can help each other.
AU where Aloy gets a living, breathing wyvern as her companion.

Summary
"Perhaps you can show him another way, in time."
Marad's grave, amber eyes are heavy where they meet his own, even as the corner of his mouth quirks in a sad smile.
"But he must be brought to heel quickly, and the easiest way to do that is proof of your... favor."
Avad barks out a harsh, disbelieving sound that no more resembles a laugh than Helis does a lamb.Or: 'How did we get to Avad fucking Helis over Marad's desk?" in Gladly and Without Question. Because the nastyman-turned-Avad's-loyal-attack-dog brainrot has taken over.

Summary
Quinvar was once an Oseram warrior, a smith with a sharp mind and a steady hammer. But when a rogue faction of the Eclipse captures him and subjects him to brutal experiments, he emerges as something else—stronger, faster, and haunted by the whispers of machines now woven into his very being.

Alone and hunted, he sets out to track the remnants of the splintered Eclipse, determined to destroy them before they can twist others as they did him. But the deeper he digs, the more he unearths—forgotten ruins, ancient knowledge, and a looming danger even greater than HADES.
ON PAUSEAs his path crosses with Aloy’s, their fates intertwine against the rising storm. But can Quinvar forge his own destiny, or will he be just another echo of a shattered world?

Summary
Alva is a writer. A true crime writer, at that. In her quest to achieve total realism and authenticity in her serial killer protagonist, her searches have gotten a little...weird. She didn't think it was that weird, until she gets a strange email inviting her to a discord server.
Full of serial killers. Honest-to-god, actual, real, serial killers.
Now she has to play the part in order to avoid possibly being murdered, get some facts for her book, and maybe fall in love with one half of a sister assassin team.
