    Summary

    The village of Crestwood, population 2300, had not seen a murder in sixteen years. But two grisly deaths, the gruesome manner almost identical but seemingly no link between the victims created a stir that law enforcement could not ignore.

    Enter renowned serial killer hunter Ellana Lavellan, a tenacious and determined detective sent on temporary reassignment to the Podunk town in the middle of void-forsaken nowhere. There she meets an array of mostly friendly faces eager for her knowledge and expertise, in over their heads in the bizarre case splashed all across the tabloids. Friendly faces all, except the local lead pathologist and adjunct professor, a Dr Solas Wolff; MD, PhD, who would make his disdain and displeasure for her presence known vigorously and often.

    A classic whodunit it, with an added spanner in the works of a simmering tension between the detective nicknamed 'Mabari' and the Professor she nicknamed 'Doc'.

    Summary

    Jane and Garrus are tasked with solving the brutal murder of a young teen. While they seek justice for the boy, they're forced to confront a truth they can no longer hide -- that no matter how deep and adoring their friendship is, it will never truly satisfy their hearts. The risk could be disastrous, or the stars may finally align.

    Summary

    It begins as a curious meeting of the minds, where Aloy asks about Tenakth customs and Kotallo is more than happy to speak about his people. A woman whose desire for knowledge burns as bright as the sun above the Desert Clan, and a man whose loyalty is as unfaltering as the All-Mother Mountain herself. But it is in those in-between moments that the threads of deeper truths begin to seek the light.

    The truth of deeper wounds, held closed by frayed thread that begins to come apart.

    Vision, hunter-sharp, seeing deeper than others ever have.

    The barest touch, reaching across a void. The truth of aching loneliness, and a desperate need for companionship.

    Two souls, incomplete, finding solace in one another.
    [On a semi-hiatus]
    _____

    Shameless shipfic between Aloy and Kotallo. Begins in the ambiguous space between 'The Kulrut' and before 'Cradle of Echoes', and will feature sporadic moments as the game narrative continues through. Kotallo and Aloy's relationship develops over the course of the game and I fix the EGREGIOUS slight that he is not in the final fight.

    Mostly Kotaloy dates, though. Because I desperately wanted them to spend more time together.
