Summary
Her voice turned quiet and crackled. “I only have Rost… Here… There’s nothing for you in the East.” A tear ran down her eye and down the bruise on her cheek that had started to make itself known to him even in the dark of the night. This was the very first tear Kotallo had ever seen on this battle hardened woman.
The Tenakth darted his eyes to the pale snow that enveloped their toes, his brows furrowed in a thoughtful manner. He couldn’t lie to himself, she was right. There wasn’t anything for him here that was of great duty to match his title as Marshal that he so proudly earned and carried. But his duty, in this moment in Aloy’s presence, meant nearly nothing to him.
Kotallo shot his eyes back up to her glassy ones, catching a glimpse of another tear leaving those greenshine eyes.
“I have you. Here. In the East.”
--
A story where Kotallo gives Aloy new meaning, a new purpose in life.

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
In a slightly different life, Aloy doesn’t take Varl’s advice. She lets him (and others) join her, fight with her, but doesn’t let anyone in.
In a slightly different life, Kotallo still pledges himself to Hekarro’s champion, but it is all duty bound honor, cold as the wind coming down off the Sky Clan mountains.
They fight together like terrors on the field. And off it? They fight each other tooth and claw. Two hurting, closed off outcasts unwilling to admit they need a soft place to land.
Where there's flame, smoke soon follows and both will kill you if you're not careful.

Summary
Our story begins with Aloy’s discovery of the Memorial Grove—and the wounded Marshal she thought had died at the Embassy. She is low on patience; Kotallo is low on faith. Slowly, slowly, they will teach each other.
What follows are a succession of miracles, rewarded with acts of devotion. Each one takes them further down a path they’re not entirely sure they’re on—until it’s far too late to turn back. Who’s to say they didn’t fall in love? (If they did, this is how it happened.)
The Marshal is complete. 🖤 Thank you for reading!
