Summary
"'So, uh... Do you Tenakth still do the whole 'cannibalism' thing, like everyone says back east?'
Varl nearly choked on his bite of meat.
'Erend!' Zo hissed, mortified, while Talanah glared daggers at him across the fire.
Quirking an eyebrow, Kotallo pinched a mushroom between his teeth and slid it delicately off the end of the skewer. 'Only on Fridays.'"
In which Kotallo reaches the Base, meets some of his new squadmates, and unwittingly makes a friend.

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
Erend is there to welcome Aloy back to the Base, but she keeps her walls up like armor, even around friends. He tries to offer help when he overhears her having multiple nightmares, but she continues to push him away.
Erend's POV of the previous fic in this series: Aloy has nightmares about her past, and Erend just wants to help her however he can. Part 1 technically counted as a kind of 3+1 fic; this is more of a 2+1 of 2 times Erend tries to help Aloy, and 1 time she lets him.

Kotallo's artificial arm malfunctions at the wrong time, effectively locking it around Aloy's wrist. Neither of the two thinks of simply taking the arm off to be freed from one another. Or, maybe they just like the excuse to stay close.
