Summary
"I think I'm in love with you."
Beta doesn't look over to him—not yet. Just keeps staring out at the flickering of the lights before them, embers dancing in the sky.
~
Beta hadn't really expected Aloy to be much help in the romance department, but her sister had given at least one good piece of advice.
If this is something that she really wants—then she's going to have to make the first move.

Summary
They say the Tenakth drink blood
Aloy's got a set of fangs hidden behind thin-pressed lips and three carefully sealed bottles in her packs that say they're not the only ones who do so.
-
Becoming a vampire is grounds enough to become an outcast from the Nora, or be killed by the hands of the Carja. Aloy, who was born a vampire, has been told her entire life that she is something to be feared, something to be hated.But as she makes her way to the Forbidden West, she also comes to learn that the ways of Nora and Carja do not stretch to all tribes, and that in others' eyes... she is not a monster at all.
In fact, here among these people that she now calls friends, Aloy finds that in these steady hands, she is loved.
The question lies in if she will truly let herself be loved - or if all she knows is to bite the hand that bleeds.

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.

Unfortunately, neither her nor Kotallo are quite as over the relationship as they'd like the other to believe.

Summary
Superhero AU
No one knows where meta-humans come from, or how long they've been hiding in society. But almost three years after the Red Raids, dark forces appear, threatening to disturb the fragile peace between them and humans.
Aloy, a runaway meta-human from the Nora tribe, is desperate to keep her abilities a secret. But when her life becomes entwined with a group of capers—masked vigilantes—she suddenly finds herself at the center of a sinister plot and a romance she's not sure she's ready for. But to save the whole of mankind, she must learn to stop running and confront the truth of her past.
Plagued with debilitating headaches since she was a child, Beta ventures out of the Sacred Lands looking for answers after surviving a devastating attack on her tribe. The trail leads her to Meridian, and to the twin sister that had abandoned her. When she discovers that they share more than just their red hair, she must learn to forgive and to trust in herself—or risk placing her life in the hands of the enemy determined to destroy all human life.

Summary
AU where post-banishment Ahsoka gets zapped back to TPM, strapped with a fundamental distrust of the Jedi, an apocalyptic vision of the future, and a mandate to help Anakin Skywalker.
Yet, despite her belief that she rewrites the future, every move Tano makes was foretold with the first flickers of light in this universe. As she slides piece after piece across the cosmic board, it becomes increasingly obvious she works to a preordained script of someone else's design. But whose and why?

Summary
Sirens are ravenous creatures that are cursed with the hunger left behind by the Old Ones. They wander across the seas, drawing those on the coast lands to their deaths by using their magicks to appear in desirable forms.
Aloy doesn't learn of them until she goes West. At first she doesn't believe the tales.
Then she does.

Summary
A self indulgent soul mate story where you can speak to each other through drawings on your skin. Somehow this increased ability to talk doesn't help Aloy and Kotallo from frequent miscommunications.

Summary
“Your messenger that intercepted us yesterday could've been spared the errand to track us down.”
The Chief’s relaxed mood drops instantly. Aloy’s next words stick in her mouth as the sharp shift in energy turns her blood to ice.
“I sent no runners for Kotallo. Is he not with your squad?”
Her hand is already fumbling at her ear, fervently stacking hope against the dread building in her gut.
"Champion," Hekarro rises, gaze hardening. "Where is my Marshal?"
Kotallo wakes in a dangerous place, but he isn't alone. Aloy and Hekarro race to recover their boy.
