Summary
The arrivals of Alva and Talanah at the Base make quite stir among the GAIA Gang.
When Erend recruits Varl to grill Kotallo over the Tenakth's sudden interest in a certain Sunhawk, he doesn't expect the tables to be turned on him.
(Or: An excuse to write a bunch of dialogue among the GAIA Gang.)

Summary
Despite Reth's increased flirting, Star still can't seem to figure out how Kilima Village's best cook feels about her.
When he turns up at her house anxious about another close call with Ashura, she takes the opportunity to give him some desperately-needed support and squeeze in that first date they never quite managed to have.
Their relationship flourishes despite close calls, Reth’s chronic self-doubt, and Star’s ignorance of Palian culture.
Even if Star didn’t have a choice in arriving in Kilima, and Reth didn’t see a future for himself past helping Tish, maybe they’re exactly what each other needs to finally feel at home.

Summary
His face falls and he pinches the bridge of his nose. “Why is this never over?” He takes a long, deep breath before finally meeting her eyes again. “How is it that no matter how many rebel camps you take out, or how many megalomaniacs we stop, there are always more?”
(Or: With the discovery of another threat to the Sundom, and the Carja army spread thin from the Battle of Meridian, supreme battle couple Aloy and Erend agree to investigate. Sequel to Hammer and Bow. Now with accompanying art by @missmrah,)

Summary
For the first time in her life, Aloy experiences feelings she can't ignore. Feelings she thought she was immune to. Feelings for her best friend. It makes her furious, and to make matters worse—she keeps taking it out on him in an attempt to keep her distance.
A Tenakth festival in Memorial Grove seems like as good an escape as any, but she arrives to find their paths have crossed yet again. It will take every bit of strength she has to push Erend away for good, but it's her only option. How can she fall in love when the entire world needs her?
(thank you to godliath for the lovely art in the final chapter!)

As Aloy grapples with an unknown symptoms stemming from a single heated touch, she delves into the past to seek clarity.
