Summary
The twisted shapes remained, but the landscape was slowly being reclaimed by nature. Grass and bushes grew over strange metal, and vines covered the otherworldly formations spawned by the death march of a crazed machine. There was even a rabbit in the distance, looking around, bravely seeking food in the ruins. Aloy's hand momentarily went to her focus, but she stopped herself. Her days of hunting for food and animal parts were over. She didn’t even have her bow with her now.
The first time she had gone without it she had felt naked, vulnerable. But by now she was used to having just her spear at her side. The machines out there might still be as deadly, but none of Gaia’s creations were hostile. And if Aloy for some reason needed to fight, she was far more capable now than back then.

Summary
In the final battle against Nemesis, the people of the tribes are alarmingly overwhelmed, and Aloy is faced with the reality that they have failed. In the last moments left, she finds Beta amidst the battlefield, desperate and grieving what they are set to lose.
Instead, Beta reveals a plan she has set in place, a failsafe if all should fall to ruin. Her final words to Aloy are those of a desperate plea to be found, to not be forgotten.
Before Aloy can even question her sister, she wakes in Rost's cabin in the Nora sacred lands, left with nothing but a recording from her sister and a head filled with memories that haven't even happened yet.
Now, she has to get the gang back together, and fast. They're going to need all of the time they can get to prepare for Nemesis, and this time, they can't fail.

Summary
“I want to play a game,” Seyka said smoothly. Her lips pressed to the edge of her tankard as she took a sip of whatever swill Erend had brought back from his most recent visit to the Claim. Seyka’s fingers traced aimless patterns on the tabletop and Aloy found herself watching how they caressed the gnarled wood.
Whenever Seyka had a game in mind, Aloy always paid for it.

Summary
Nemesis has been gone for a while and life is good for Aloy and Seyka. They still adventure together, helping people and dispersing the last of dangerous machines along their way. They also have much more time to indulge in each other and share some adrenaline filled post-battle fun after a tough fight.
Just some kinda goofy and fun smut.

Summary
It's early when Seyka wakes.
From the angle of the light shining through the window and into Seyka's face, it was an hour or two past daybreak. Her eyelids are heavy with exhaustion - she could easily get another couple hours of sleep - but there is still a warm weight pressed close to her chest.
For the first time that Seyka can remember, Aloy hasn't risen with the sun.

Summary
In a world filled with killer machines, intelligence is useful, but it won’t keep a hunter-killer from slitting your throat.
In a world without family, without home, a person needs to find a new purpose. A new reason to keep going.
Three years post-Zenith battle, NEMESIS is no longer a threat, and Aloy and Beta are two lost sisters looking for family, belonging, and love. Maybe someday they’ll admit it to themselves.

Summary
When Saliah, a healer in Meridian, decides to travel west to study medicine, she knows it won’t be easy to be a Carja in Tenakth territory, even with the Chief’s blessing. Against her better judgement, she finds herself staying with the fierce Desert Clan in Scalding Spear. She expects to find prejudice, but doesn’t anticipate that the person she butts heads with the most is the Commander himself. It doesn’t help that he’s annoyingly pretty and well aware of the fact.
Saliah is determined to focus on her work, despite Drakka’s distracting presence. After all, nothing will come of it, and he’s just staring at her because he hates her. Right?
Set after Sunlight in a Rainstorm but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
"You know, Aloy, Kotallo here was quite the troublemaker when he was a tyke."
Aloy raised an eyebrow, turning to look him carefully up and down. "Kotallo? As in, this Kotallo? I can't see it."
"Hard to believe now, I know, but it's true," the Chaplain continued. "Caused his parents no end of grief, from the time he was big enough to toddle around on those chubby legs. Once, when he was three -"
"Gerrah, please..." Kotallo groaned, his ears already reddening as he sensed where this was headed.
Aloy snickered, leaning over enough to lay her head on his shoulder. "Well based on that reaction alone, now I have to hear the story."
In which Aloy and Kotallo lend the Sky Clan their aid, Chaplain Gerrah shares a story from Kotallo's childhood, and a good-natured laugh is had at the Marshal's expense.

Summary
The Sun-King needs a Queen. One thing’s for sure, it’s not going to be Aloy. Unfortunately, none of the Carja noblewomen can match up to the lasting impression she appears to have made. Sun-King Avad seems fated to regret her forever.
At least, that’s how it appears to Kari, one of the palace workers, and she should know. She’s been in unrequited love with him for months. She’s determined that he’ll never know, because it’s an impossible hope. He’s the Sun-King, she’s a servant. He’s in love with Aloy and has never looked twice at Kari.
And she couldn’t possibly be wrong about any of that, could she?

Summary
"'Commander. A moment?'
Aloy looked up from her desk to see Kotallo lingering like a spectre in the doorway. His arm was held behind his back, his posture stiff, and his expression seemed almost nervous, an odd look for the normally unflappable Tenakth warrior.
'You don't have to ask, you know that,' she said, swiveling her chair around to fully face him. 'Something on your mind?'
'I… Much, yes.' He stepped inside awkwardly, angling his body to keep her from seeing whatever was clutched in his hand. 'In my efforts to further my knowledge of the Old Ones, I came across fragmented records of a… festival, of sorts. It was held by some of their warrior clans, in remembrance of a conflict called the Battle of Valentine.'
'Battle of Valentine? Sounds interesting, and also right up your alley.'
'Indeed. According to GAIA, this 'Valentine's Day' was observed annually on the fourteenth of February. And…' He shifted his weight from his left foot to his right, the unpainted skin at the base of his neck and the bottoms of his ears pinkening slightly. 'Seeing as today is the fourteenth of February, I thought we might experience it together.'"
A fluffy fic to celebrate Valentine's Day, Kotaloy style.

Summary
"'I hate you... So much...' Aloy hissed through gritted teeth.
Unfazed by his mate's ire, Kotallo simply sighed, coming to join her while she caught her breath. 'I can't pretend to blame you. I'm sure I'd hate me too, in your position.'"
Aloy is pregnant, sick, and grumpy. Kotallo is equal parts supportive and amused.
