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
The battle of Barren Light goes differently. The Army of the Setting Sun, led by General Unyielding Fashav, was at the right place when the gates opened, and amidst a fierce battle the Tenakth were forced to retreat.
When the dust settles in the aftermath, there comes news that the Carja standard of Barren Light, the Western Blazon Sun, was captured by the retreating Tenakth and is held somewhere in the depths of their clan lands. Sun King Jiran desires its return; to restore Barren Light to its proper glory.
Fashav only wants peace, not to restore any ill-gotten glory, but if volunteering to retrieve it will spare the life of a captured Tenakth warrior, he will do it.Bookmarked by InvertedBoxSpace

Summary
Stepping over the snow-covered stones lining the spring, she sighs immediately upon contact with the hot water. Her feet, aching from travel, lead her deeper into the inviting warmth, allowing it to spread up her body as she sinks in, exhaling through a hazy grin.
“You should do yourself a favor and come try it!” Aloy hollers at Erend, her eyes trailing down his backside.
She barely manages to keep herself from biting her lip at the sight. And he was still clothed.

He’d recognize it anywhere.
Aloy.

Summary
Without warning, she sprung towards him. He nearly leapt back in surprise, briefly concerned she was going to attack—those huntress eyes had been absolutely fixed on him a moment before—but she had moved too quickly for him (of course), flinging her arms around his middle and holding him tight against her body before he'd had a chance to fully react.
Erend looked down at the top of her head, blinking in astonishment, as though her fiery red hair were actual flames that had erupted across his chest.
Aloy hugs Erend for the first time. It freaks him out.

Bookmarker's Notes
It’s silly and trippy and sweet and lovely

Summary
"It's getting late, you should turn in."
"No, I - " Aloy pauses, struggling with the words. She doesn't quite know what she wants from this conversation, just as she doesn't know what to do to quell the agitation forcing its way through her. Doesn't know how to name the feeling tugging at her, or put it to rest.
All she knows is, now that Erend is here, she can't stand the thought of him leaving her alone tonight.

Summary
"Being with Varl…He makes me forget somehow, that it’s possible to run out of time. I’m doing everything I can, but I still might lose the chance to tell him.”
Zo's regret washes over Aloy like the ocean waves she’s only recently learned the deceptive strength of. There’s a moment where she’s suddenly underwater, holding her breath against the force, the press of knowing that she’s making the same mistake, but not knowing how to stop.

Summary
“Maybe I should go with you to Barren Light?” Aloy suggested, but Erend wasn’t having it.
“No, no, you’re needed elsewhere, obviously,” he said dismissively. “We’ll make it without you.”
Aloy hated how Erend was looking at her – or rather, not looking at her – his usually bright eyes dulled by sadness and resignation. Their reunion had not gone as she’d hoped. Though what had she hoped for exactly? Warm smiles and kind eyes? A touch, maybe even a hug? She couldn’t even remember the last time anyone had touched her outside of a fight.
In any case, this was not the reunion she’d wanted. Her first instinct was to shy away, so she turned to leave, but then thought better of it. “No. I’m taking you to Barren Light.”
(Or: What if Aloy did end up accompanying Erend and Aldur to Barren Light?)

Summary
There’s a small wooden stall set up by Hakund’s hunting goods, housing a variety of Oseram trinkets. Erend sees a lot of well polished steel on display, but that’s not what captures his attention. There’s a bracelet made of the thinnest blue machine cabling he’s ever seen, all woven together into an intricate braid. It appears both delicate and robust at the same time, and it immediately makes him think of Aloy.
(Or: Erend gives Aloy a gift that has unintended consequences)
