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.

Summary
Inquisitor Ixchel Lavellan was a teenaged elf-blooded orphan taken in by the Lavellan Clan and sent to the Conclave due to her ability to pass as a human. Bare-faced and brave, she answered a fateful call for help and ended up positioned in-between Corypheus and godhood; mages and Templars; humanity and the elves; the weight of faith and the pressure of duty; the dead past, and a dead future.
Those who loved her did what they thought they could to keep the weight of the world off her shoulders, but in the end their secrets, betrayals, and expectations became too much. Believing her existence to have been entirely futile in the face of Fen'Harel's plans, Ixchel Lavellan took a potent poison and laid down her sword on her own terms.
As the Veil began to unravel and the fabric of reality tore apart at the seams, a desperate ally sacrificed everything to give her a second chance.
And though Ixchel may never forgive him, she returns to the Conclave determined to shape the world just as viciously as it shaped her the first time.

Summary
She's an Elf, except that she's not, from a place she won't say and a name she won't give. She's a mage who'd rather sing than use a staff, and she refuses to be boxed in by your canon dialogue choices. Her secrets have secrets, but she has a Duty to save the world, and she might as well close the Breach in the meantime.
It's Dragon Age Inquisition done again, but baby, it's never been done quite like this.

“I don’t know how you expect us to trust you, if you won’t tell us who you are!” Cassandra exclaims.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Dickface leans back to gesture to herself wearing what little of her stolen Dalish armour made it out of their attempt to seal the breach. “I’m a Dwarf.”

Summary
I have only ever known love as a beautiful lie. I adore the theater of it. The poetry and the excess are intoxicating. The anticipation of the words that cannot be taken back amounts to more than the words themselves. How can I not be intrigued by such an idea? Lovers say more with silence than they do with language. It is a subversion of everything the Story values but also we can’t get enough of it. Every story is about love, at least a little bit. Even this one.
Solas and Lavellan are unlikely correspondents who reshape infinite versions of Thedas, each manipulating events of the world’s past to create the future their faction desires.

Clearing his throat, Solas puts on his best mild mannered apostate face. “My expertise lies in the Fade and not... this. And I don't like the idea of you presuming to command me to – what? Engage in intercourse with our Inquisitor?”
In which Dorian and Ellana discuss (her misconceptions about) sex, Solas overhears everything, and a situation arises.

Summary
The Fade exists in all times and all places. If there is a way to change the Dread Wolf's heart, Carys Lavellan thinks she'll find it there.
She finds more than she expected.

“Hawke?” she asked hesitantly. “Is that you? Why are you a bird?”
The bird fluffed its black and white-barred chest feathers and shook out its wings, which did have a prodigious span.
“I’m a hawk, get it?” the bird announced.
Carys tilted her head and studied it for a moment.
“I think you’re a Greater Marches fish eagle. They used to roost down by the Waking Sea in those dead snags by the water.”
"Balls," said Hawke, and turned back into the Champion of Kirkwall.
