Summary
"The king sent me to get you," Merlin said, with a tone that implied strongly that he wasn't rolling his eyes where Arthur could see, but just wait until his back was turned. "He said you're to get changed into formal clothes and meet him in the Great Hall, there's a delegation coming from the Summer Court."

Summary
When hunter-killer machines begin attacking the Memorial Grove, Aloy returns there to lend her aid. She arrives on the night of the blaze moon, a Tenakth ceremony that sweeps her up in it before she realizes it's happening. Suddenly suitors are seeking her out around every corner until she and Kotallo stumble into an...unorthodox solution.
That might cause more problems than it solves.

Summary
When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge... especially from Potter.
Features fuzzy cartoon slippers, devious house elves, 90s music, and lots—LOTS—of memories. Ron is annoyingly hot, Hermione sees right through you, Harry is a powerful idiot, and Draco is a reclusive masochist that would buy an entire city if it would make a kid happy. (And Pansy is "5'2, I wanna dance with you, and I'm sophisticated fun.")

Summary
“Your messenger that intercepted us yesterday could've been spared the errand to track us down.”
The Chief’s relaxed mood drops instantly. Aloy’s next words stick in her mouth as the sharp shift in energy turns her blood to ice.
“I sent no runners for Kotallo. Is he not with your squad?”
Her hand is already fumbling at her ear, fervently stacking hope against the dread building in her gut.
"Champion," Hekarro rises, gaze hardening. "Where is my Marshal?"
Kotallo wakes in a dangerous place, but he isn't alone. Aloy and Hekarro race to recover their boy.

Summary
A young Tenakth hunter on his own fights for survival against a Hunter-Killer machine. For Aloy, that's not quite so bizarre when compared to her upbringing, but for what she's learned of the Tenakth and their devout defense of their young, it doesn't match what she's come to learn of the tribe.
In which Aloy and the clan gain another member of the family.

Summary
When Kotallo lost his arm, it was more than just a limb that he had lost. It was his prowess with a bow. It was his utility as a Marshal. His arm was gone, his life a ruin, and nothing would ever be the same.
It did not occur to him that this could be a good thing.
It did not occur to him that he could find new purpose in his life. It did not occur to him that an outlander with hair like blood and a spirit as fierce as blazefire would help him find that purpose.
With Aloy as his witness, Kotallo would find himself again, and nothing would ever be the same.
********************
In other words: a wish fulfillment fic where Aloy and Kotallo fall in love over the course of the game. Canon scenes and dialogue blended and padded out with introspection, cozy conversations, smut, and all the GAIA Gang bonding that we deserved. ❤Series

Summary
When Draco desperately insists on becoming a Centaur Liaison, he doesn’t know what he’s getting into, especially with that annoying hero-turned-hermit Harry Potter living right at the entrance to the Forbidden Forest. Not to mention foreign unicorn women, slavering three headed beasts, bitter brews, unexpected friendships, and the consequences of a very cocky vocabulary.
