Summary
Inana Lavellan can't see most things - not in the waking world, anyway. The Fade is another matter, shining like a beacon just beyond the Veil. She loves the Fade, where everything is clear. Most clear of all is the spirit-teacher she has had for as long as she can remember. He taught her when she was still a child how to interact with spirits without fear. He shows her ancient dreams and memories. He talks with her about magic and philosophy. She has learned so much from him that it hardly even matters that their timelines seem to meet at random, and he doesn't always - or even often - remember who she is.
Imagine her surprise when her dreams lead her to the Conclave, compassion leads her to the burned-out temple in the wake of the explosion, necessity leads her to begin attempting to close the Breach - and she discovers that the spirit she has known all her life exists in the waking world as a man calling himself Solas.
Currently updates about once a week, or more often when my editors have time.

Latha visits Lavellan nightly, claiming it is a reflection of Solas's love for her. Lavellan wonders: how could such a spirit possibly exist without becoming corrupted? And, perhaps more importantly, how can she use what it knows of Solas to find him?

Stormbirds and Stalkers: A Tale of Aloy and Nil by Pikapeppa
Fandoms: Horizon: Zero Dawn (Video Game)
04 Sep 2017
Tags
Summary
The silver-eyed Carja soldier was the most unusual person Aloy had ever met: strange and dangerous, with an off-putting lust for blood. As Aloy travelled from the Sacred Lands to the Sundom, the silver-eyed killer kept appearing... and Aloy soon found herself with a travelling companion she'd never expected.
The flame-haired huntress was skilled with bow and spear, but her talents were wasted on the machines. If only Nil could convince her to bring those talents to bear on a more... tantalizing genre of prey.
*****
This love story tells the tale of Aloy and Nil getting together over the course of the game. Perfect for serious Niloy shippers who want more Nil backstory!
Eventual NSFW Smut. Impatient shippers can skip to Chap 9 (Heartbroken) to get more pure Niloy time... and SUPER impatient smut lovers, Chap 11 (Waterfall) onward.

Summary
Nare has a crush on her Master’s supervisor. She knows it’s a total cliché, and she knows she shouldn’t be flirting with him. But there’s just something about Professor Solas that she can’t resist. Fortunately — or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it — it seems that Professor Solas can’t resist her, either.
Athera finally got her dream job as a research coordinator at the University of Orlais’s infamous Ancient Elvhen Studies lab. It’s just too bad that the program director, Professor Abelas, is such a traditional stick in the mud. Too bad that he’s so good-looking, too.
After following Nare and Athera to Orlais, Tamaris spends most of her time brooding at home. It takes a chance encounter with a mischievous Arlathani elf named Felassan to bring her out of the apartment and out of her shell.
***********************
In short: modern-day university AU with romance arcs for all three members of the Ancient Boyband™: Solas, Abelas and Felassan. There will be NSFW smut for all couples.NOTE: Solas and Nare will be in a sexual relationship while he is her thesis supervisor. If you are uncomfortable about the inherent power dynamic, this fic is not for you.
