Summary
Being Captain of the Vanguard has kept Erend plenty busy since Hades' defeat, but everything gets turned on its head when his cousin unexpectedly arrives from the Claim to inform him that the elders of their village want him to return and become the next Ealdorman. Most Oseram would regard the request as an honor, but considering the fact that Erend and Ersa both cut ties with their clan years before, Erend isn't inclined to help now, no matter how dire their straits. Avad and Aloy convince him to reconsider, however, and help him see the offer as an opportunity to make a real change in the way his clan operates so no child has to go through the hardships he and his sister did ever again.
In the meantime, Aloy takes a break from her quest to find Elisabet Sobeck's home to acquire a very special gift for Erend, though becomes injured in the process and recovers under his care.Bookmarked by Ruja00

Summary
He wasn’t getting what she was hinting at, so she decided to be a bit more direct.
“No, Erend, I’m frustrated.” She couldn’t help the way her cheeks flamed with embarrassment as she gave him a pointed look, her eyebrows rose.
He seemed to get what she was talking about just as he’d decided to take a sip of his ale, where he promptly choked on his drink and set it down with a heavy thud, coughing and spluttering painfully.
“O-Oh…”
What followed was the way his entire face turned a vivid red, starting at his cheeks and extending to the tips of his ears. Aloy could only watch with her mouth open as he closed a fist and thumped at his throat, swallowing loudly and running a shaky hand through his mohawk.
“B-By the forge, warn a guy would ya?” He wheezed, and heat crawled down his neck.

Summary
Since the battle with the Zeniths, Aloy has been trying to deal with her guilt and questioning everything. What’s the point of it all now that she has fulfilled her purpose? She’s done her part. She's been a good little clone. Now what?
Meanwhile, Erend has sworn off drinking and is seriously considering Avad’s offer to return to Meridian. After all, distance might be the only way to get over someone. But when a twist of fate leads him and Aloy into a game of truth or dare, he can't help but wonder if he'll get out of that cave with his heart in one piece.

Summary
Before, Erend had thought he would always be stuck in her wake, and it wasn't such a bad place to be.
But that was six months ago, before Aloy had disappeared without a trace, and Erend had been left with nothing but his own doubts and fears and not even a goodbye left to the wind.
Maybe this time, though, he won't stay stuck in her wake.

Summary
"Aloy is struck by several thoughts then, one after the other:
Firstly, that Erend’s wounds don’t seem to be quite as bad as she thought, now that she can seem them more clearly without his sleeve in the way.
Secondly, that Erend has a very nice arm under that sleeve, besides his wounds, thick and solid with muscle and dusted with dark hair, and…
Thirdly, tattoos. Erend’s shoulder and upper arm are covered in a weaving, geometric pattern of black tattoos.
Aloy, in the process of unfastening her waterskin to rinse his wounds, finds herself taking a long drink to quench her suddenly too-dry mouth."
After Erend gets injured in a fight, Aloy discovers that he is covered in tattoos, and then she discovers she might be in love with him.

Summary
In the months after the defeat of HADES, Aloy has to decide where she belongs and what her future holds. The machines are tamer now that the derangement has ended but GAIA is still offline leaving Elisabet Sobeck's gift to the world incomplete and broken. The Nora think that she's the goddess made flesh and to the Carja, and Avad specifically, she's the Savior of Meridian. But, what does she want and who does she want to be?
For Erend, he's just pleased that Aloy has made any kind of time for him let alone saw fit to write to him while she was away from Meridian. Everyone seems to think they know what she should do next and where she should be but what does he think? And if she decides her destiny lies elsewhere, where does that leave him?
Days After Dawn is a story told from two perspectives, Erend and Aloy, with chapters that will alternate between the two.

Summary
Really, it would be smart for him to slow this down. For him to say, hey, if this is just a casual fuck to you, it’s going to ruin me, but he doesn’t have a reputation for being smart and the way she’s curved herself into him, pressing every possible inch of herself against every possible inch of him – obviously he isn’t going to be focused on himself in this moment.
