Two Steps to the Edge (And a Heart That's Set to Fall) by Apricity_Writes
Fandoms: Horizon (Video Games)
02 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
It was luck. Pure, dumb, horrible luck that caused Aloy's foot to slip, and for everything to fall into pieces around her.
But when she wakes, it is to Kotallo's steady hand and the glimpse of something more in his eyes. Something she's been so afraid to hope for, but if he truly meant what he said...
She hadn't been willing to let herself give in to love before, but maybe this time, she'll find the courage to fall.

Summary
If you asked poets and minstrels, and lovey-dovey aristocrats wooing naive wenches across Bohemia, they would tell you that absence makes the heart grow fonder. If you asked young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, however, he’d tell you it’s an idiotic, pestilential sentiment coined by some daft cunt who never had to suffer the terror and indignity of being parted from their heart’s desire. Or they’ve just never met Henry.
Each time Hans cannot see him, the walls of the world start closing in, threatening to crush him. Each time Henry is away, the young lord has to face the terrifying reality of longing, craving, dreaming, yearning—and the frustration of not knowing whether the blacksmith’s boy is even alive. Worse! The frustration of not knowing whether the bastard misses him as bad as Hans does.
And then, each time Henry returns to him, two crucial things dawn upon Capon’s head: one, he needs to remember there are books that speak of love he dares not voice himself. Two: he might not agree with absence making the heart fonder, but it sure does make his cock ache.
From Nebakov to Suchdol, a study of the times Hans missed Henry—and the times they reunited. Canon compliant; filling in the gaps.

Summary
“Mr. Crowley, I presume?” Aziraphale asked in lieu of an introduction, which was not forthcoming. The guy hadn’t even removed his sunglasses. Oh God, he had a tattoo on his face. Aziraphale wasn’t one to judge, but… what kind of gardener had a snake tattoo on his face?

Summary
When hunter-killer machines begin attacking the Memorial Grove, Aloy returns there to lend her aid. She arrives on the night of the blaze moon, a Tenakth ceremony that sweeps her up in it before she realizes it's happening. Suddenly suitors are seeking her out around every corner until she and Kotallo stumble into an...unorthodox solution.
That might cause more problems than it solves.

Old Vines by sevdrag (seventhe)

Summary
A.Z. Fell, one of the most respected names in wine and food blogging, has been sent on assignment with his assistant Warlock Dowling to spend six months in California Wine Country. Under direction (by his boss, Gabriel) to use this experience to double his blog followers and write a novel, Aziraphale is both excited and anxious about the opportunity.
Anthony J. Crowley is the owner and viticulturalist of Ecdyses, a winery that unexpectedly fell into his lap eleven years ago when he hit rock bottom. He may be in debt, yeah, but he’s paying off his loans — and despite pressure from his lenders and their team of inspectors, Crowley has found a kind of contentment tending his little corner of terroir and producing extraordinary wine. Crowley’s old vines are the heart of his vineyard, and he’s never let anyone in.
Crowley finds Aziraphale intriguing; Aziraphale finds Crowley enthralling. Turns out a famous wine expert and an experienced viticulturalist can still learn things from each other. The summer of 2019 unfolds.

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
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.

Summary
Irony must be a driving factor in Aloy's life; AETHER is meant to stabilize the air, but to get it she has to partner with a cold vortex of a man that quite obviously hates her company. The feeling is painfully mutual. Kotallo has been denied death, and cannot see his task of escorting an outlander in a doomed mission as anything other than an insult. The commonalities between them are barely enough to fill the surface of a coin and they'll surely kill each other before they even make it to the Bulwark.
Or, perhaps, they are both sides of it--alike and unable to realize it for the line separating them. Perhaps, instead of killing each other, they'll be able to work together after all.
OR a switching POV fic in which I catalog all the FEELS of our two favorite broody stabbers as they journey through the game.

Summary
When Kotallo lost his arm, it was more than just a limb that he had lost. It was his prowess with a bow. It was his utility as a Marshal. His arm was gone, his life a ruin, and nothing would ever be the same.
It did not occur to him that this could be a good thing.
It did not occur to him that he could find new purpose in his life. It did not occur to him that an outlander with hair like blood and a spirit as fierce as blazefire would help him find that purpose.
With Aloy as his witness, Kotallo would find himself again, and nothing would ever be the same.
********************
In other words: a wish fulfillment fic where Aloy and Kotallo fall in love over the course of the game. Canon scenes and dialogue blended and padded out with introspection, cozy conversations, smut, and all the GAIA Gang bonding that we deserved. ❤Series

Summary
Kotallo is hurting, inside and out, when he is sent by his chief to Stone Crest on escort duty for a futile mission. He's heard rumours about the Champion back at the Grove - how she saved the city of Meridian before venturing West and defeating Regalla's champion in single combat, so he expects a larger-than-life brute of a warrior. Instead he finds a woman who is curious, fierce, compassionate, more anvil-headed than any Oseram, and, to his surprise, beautiful.
Just another 'Kotallo and Aloy fall in love within the frame of the game' story, told through the eyes of a man who thinks he has little left to live for, and a woman who faces an impossible task alone. Except that she's not alone at all.

Summary
“So let me get this straight,” Aloy said. “Kotallo went all the way to Meridian to be part of the first Tenakth delegation to visit the Sundom, and all he left was a note?”
*************
In sum: a self-indulgent post-Burning Shores story where Aloy goes after Kotallo in a fit of pique after finding his note about going to Meridian. Aloy and Kotallo are not together at the start of the fic, but you can bet your last shard they will be by the end. 🥰If you, like me, were devastated to find Kotallo gone from the Memorial Grove during the DLC, then this fic is for you. 😂😭💀

"If, and only if I were to accept this trade... where would we make the exchange?" he asked, grabbing some pen and paper he always kept around near the phone.
"My place, naturally. We could grab something to eat first, what about the Ritz?"
"What about the... Crowley, I'm sorry, but anyone would think you're asking me out on a date."
"They'd be correct. Pick you up at eight, the reservations have been made already. Bring the book!"
Crowley hanged up after that.
