Summary
Not all machines are bad.
Instead of being raised by Rost, Aloy is raised by an apex machine, a Slaughterspine by the name of Spine. With the coding of GAIA and one goal, Spine must protect Aloy in their secluded part of the Forbidden West from the Tenakth and the new dangerous machines that begin to emerge.
A different universe where Aloy is raised by a machine rather than by a person.

Summary
Deep in the grinding carnage of the Red Raids, the fugitive Sun-Prince Avad makes it to the Grove with a risky proposition: forge an alliance to bring an end to Sun-King Jiran’s madness. Hekarro accepts his offer - if only for the chance to topple the hated Sundom. As the campaign to end the war brings Hekarro and Avad closer to Meridian, however, the line between bitter enemies and reluctant allies blurs into something that neither of the men expect.
Or: Avad allies with Hekarro instead of Ersa for the Liberation. They fuck about it - and again, and again - and then things get complicated.

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.)
🫡 Part 4 in progress! The Marshal updates on Tuesday evenings PST. Finale planned for February 2025.

Summary
On an Earth where land is scarce, seas are never-ending and magic is abundant, a young wind weaver, Aloy, is raised by a Nora outcast named Rost. She, along with her twin sister Beta,who was born with a rare ability called the "second sight", have been cast out as well, rejected by the highly matriarchal Nora, a secluded tribe with a strong aversion to magic.
On one fateful encounter, they meet the young but experienced Sky Admiral Kotallo, captain of the Tenakth skyship Wings of the Ten and its crew, who have been given the herculean task of mapping out the world, establishing relations with other far-flung tribes, and exploring uncharted regions. Together, they discover that the world is not as it seems and they begin to unravel its ancient mysteries and secrets, all the while making new friends, allies and enemies alike.

Summary
Years before the Faro Plague, there was Project Scale. Project Scale involved scientists who took the lives of fifty people in order to make bioweapons. But they weren't ready for when the Faro robots went rogue, and Project Scale was quickly dismissed, leaving the fifty alone for a thousand years, abandoned to the elements.
Until the Eclipse finds their hidden nest, where one awakens to bring chaos into the world.
Aloy doesn't know what to make of the mysterious creature that her Focus says is a wyvern. She's never heard of it, never found anything in the Embrace relating to it. It just appeared in her life, breathing fire on the people who took Rost away from her.
Maybe, these two lost souls can help each other.
AU where Aloy gets a living, breathing wyvern as her companion.

Summary
The Tenakth prepare for the Tribute to the Ten, a ceremony to honor the peace and unity the tribe now has under Chief Hekarro. Kotallo is commanded to find a date. There's no way Aloy is interested, right?
---
Or - a fun little work born of me thinking the Tenakth needed their own version of a military ball.

Summary
“There’s another battle ahead, Elisabet. Very different from the one you fought. It’s not about the distant hope of creating a new world, it’s about preserving the one we have.”
Aloy, Beta and their friends begin their preparations for Nemesis’ arrival whilst also living life to the fullest in case the worst should come to pass.
Our take on the interim period between Forbidden West and Horizon 3.

Summary
A story of two middle-aged men finally discovering who they are and what they want to be - now that they finally have the freedom to choose.
or
In which a retired king and his equally retired captain ride off into the sunset, finding themselves, a kid, and just maybe a little love along the way.
While technically this could be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading at least the Avad POV companion to this story: "In a City of Ice (There Are Burning Cathedrals". All of the stories are interconnected and build on each other.

Summary
An enemies-to-lovers storyline taking place throughout the events of the game. Aloy and Kotallo can’t stand each other yet can’t seem to stay apart, either.
Mostly canon but I might change/add things a little to fit the story (nothing major.)

Summary
She huffed, anger and frustration choking her throat, “Being with me is never enough to deal with the world clamoring at your door.”
Aloy longs for peace, and wants it in Kotallo, even with the world watching.

Summary
A story cannot have an ending, if it never truly began, a notion Aloy knows all too well.
** This is a re-work of my fic 'Orbit' (for a completely different fandom and very much irrelevant to this story).

Summary
"Leave a loud Oseram with a brooding Tenakth. What could go wrong?"
That's it. That's the plot.
* in which Kotallo accidentally joins Erend's band *
- fun sized chapters
- updates (most) SaturdaysIt's wild how much the way we view ourselves, and how we think others view us, can affect who we become in complex ways. I didn't know at first that that's what this story is really about, but I think that it is!

Summary
Part 5 Book 2: Aloy's team continues to assemble and get to know each other as Aloy gets closer to getting what's necessary for GAIA to capture HEPHAESTUS... and does many errands along the way.
(Expect confusing spoilers because it is a canon-divergent AU that loosely follows the original.)
Aloy helps Talanah, Dekka, Kavvoh, and Amadis in the Lowlands, and then Talanah and Kavvoh meet her and Ivvira back in the Desert. After her friends, old and new, help her avert some conflict, Aloy runs off to the Isle of Spires.
Alva and Beta become friends and get help from Kotallo and Varl to make the Base more comfortable, while Zo continues her project to heal the Land-Gods, and Erend is back in the Daunt on Vanguard business and Sons of Prometheus detective work.
Varl and Kotallo talk about children but are interrupted when Kotallo gets a chance to ask Aloy to take him to a dangerous area to help him heal. Still at the Base, Varl talks to Zo, and she learns more about what makes Kotallo fight so hard.
And then Varl gets some ideas of how to bring the joy he's been feeling to the rest of the team.
(Varl's chapters are inspired by works by littleboxofwonders. You'll see when you get there.)Series
