Summary
In all the years that Natalie has lived in the Boston QZ alongside Joel Miller, she had always found him intriguing... and now their paths finally have a reason to cross: She has a truck battery but needs a truck, and he has the vehicle but needs a battery.
Despite their differences, they set off on a journey across the CBI-ravaged country and are brought closer together than they ever could have expected, into a relationship that gets put to the test when the promise of a cure is snatched away from them.

Summary
You had heard the story: the best bounty hunter in the parsec, the Mandalorian (Din Djarin), had acquired the asset with the largest reward the parsec had ever seen. When you see him trying to rescue the child from captivity, you can’t help accompanying him on his run from the law. He discovers you’re a fighter and agrees to hire you as an addition to his team to be an extra protector over the child—not realizing that, as a runaway princess from a Republic planet, you have a bounty of your own hanging over your head. With death creeping around each corner accompanied by a tracking fob, you and Din will have to provide each other with the security the galaxy’s failed to give you.

Summary
It's in his quietness that you find interest—a man of few words and even fewer smiles, dedicated to survival and nothing else; a person broken and hardy, who's faced trials and tribulations that you can't even fathom. He's much older than you, yet his experience attracts you to men like him, not the younger boys who barely even know how to handle a gun...
You can tell that he definitely knows how to handle a gun.

Summary
Joel’s back. For good this time.
Ten years of grieving then moving on then thriving in Jackson without him, suddenly worthless when he gives a heartfelt admission on the porch of his new home, and the bridge you agreed to burn slowly starts to rebuild.
It’s too bad that neither of you can make the first step.

Summary
Holding back his punch, Joel glanced up at his brother, observing as his wide eyes raked over your unconscious figure. “What, do you know her or something?” he asked, the adrenaline causing it to come out sounding rather vile.
“Fuck…” all the air escaped Tommy’s lungs, “I thought she was dead…” his glistening eyes didn’t rip away from your frame for even a second as he revealed, “yeah… yeah, I know her. She’s like family.”

Summary
They stood there for a minute, not moving apart. Aloy kept her eyes on where their hands were joined, not daring to look up. She could feel his breath stirring the fine hairs on her forehead and she was panicking. She knew exactly what would happen if she tipped her face up to look at him. She could sense how both of them wrestled with it, knowing there was no way to take it back once it happened. And yet he stood there clutching her hand against his pounding heart, and she stood there letting him.
Or,
Aloy and Erend fall for each other, the GAIA gang comes up with an alternative plan for dealing with HEPHAESTUS

Summary
"If you're ever in Meridian, look me up. I could show you around, make introductions! It would be a whole new life... If you want it."
What if, during the natural course of the game, Aloy had reciprocated Erend's advances? This work runs alongside the main canon quests, except with the rightful diversions of their relationship, and a lot of sex.

Summary
Aloy and Erend’s thoughts throughout some of the big events in Forbidden West—it starts in the second half of the game. Aloy is struggling with her growing attraction to him and Erend is just struggling.
This story begins right before the Poseidon mission. I had just finished the errand “A Hunt to Remember” and it inspired the start of the story. Each chapter starts with Aloy’s point of view then gives Erend’s for the same event. Big spoilers for the whole game.

Patient. Reasonable. Respectable. All words that Harvey was once certain could be used to describe him. That is, before the infuriating farmer moved into town five months ago and turned his calm, colorless world upside down.

Summary
Using the 30 Day Stardew Valley Challenge from Tumblr to explore the relationship between Farmer Rae and the most adorably shy small town Doc we know...
Warning: they're both awkward as hell and annoying in how long they take to realise their feelings and do anything about it.
Slow burn is an understatement.
