A collection of prompt-based snippets and scenes featuring Erend and Aloy.

Aloy discovers new Tribes and finds herself caught in an impending war between a highly advanced military faction and a Bandit gang. Both reveal surprising details about life in the Forbidden West, and neither is quite what it seems. (Continues on from the story "Ruler of the World" but it is not necessary to read that story first. Contains spoilers for the game - play it first!)

It's been a long time, and yet Rost will not allow himself to believe Aloy is his.

There are only two things Nil wants in life. To kill bandits, and to impress a certain red-haired Nora huntress. Both could also be his down fall, especially when his dark past comes back to haunt him. Note: I acknowledge that these characters and locations are not mine. I am just borrowing them to create a new story based on game events. This story contains spoilers for the game.

The Battle for the Spire was finished. Aloy and her allies had defeated HADES. But there are other rogue AIs threatening the safety of people on earth, and Aloy needs to find a way to bring GAIA back to life.

The Thunderjaw was a surprise. That it led to Aloy kissing him was even more unexpected, but he wasn't about to complain.

After earth was plunged into a dark, and dead abyss by the Faro Plague, Elisabeth Sobeck and her team created GAIA to create a future for they were the last original bloodlines after the plague, and before the eleuthia children. But what if they weren't the only ones to survive the longest after the plague. Story takes place after the entire Horizon Zero Dawn story line.

""I'm so sorry, Talanah." The SunHawk smiled. A wicked simper. "Don't be. You're doing what you think is right."" Aloy x Talanah, angst, oneshot

It's the night before the final fight and Aloy is restless, even in such a comfortable bed. Her thoughts keep her awake, especially when they keep going to those stormy blue eyes of a certain Vanguard.

I was inspired by Aloy's-Arrow's fic "The Rest is Up to You", and began writing my own H:ZD fanfic. I loved the game, and adored the storyline, but was rather disappointed that there wasn't more about Elisabet that could be found. Following the same plot, Aloy and Varl find her in cryogenic stasis. What happens next will happen. Please read and enjoy this new story!

Aloy est curieuse. Elle l'a toujours été. Un (très) petit OS pour un défi en une heure.

!Spoilers up through The Heart of the Nora main quest! Aloy meets alcohol for the first time, guided by our favorite veteran lush, Erend. [[ Just a quick couple scenes to get Aloy and Erend together. :-) ]]

Varl. Son of Sona, war-chief of the Nora. This is a slightly (very, very slightly, I swear I'm barely changing anything) OOC Varl who I am fleshing out due to the fact that he is quite boring within the main storyline. So this is my story for him, that will build upon into the main storyline and further beyond.

Throughout the game, we bear witness to Aloy's thoughts and experiences as she explores her world. But what do the characters she comes across think of her? This is a collection of snapshots of different characters as they encounter Aloy while her story unfolds and what they might think of her as they watch her journey from the outside.

Samina Ebadji and Margo Shĕn did not die with the Alphas. In the immediate aftermath of Faro's mass murder, GAIA acted. Now, a thousand years later, they wake from cryo-stasis to a very different world. [I OWN NONE OF Horizon: Zero Dawn. ALL RIGHTS AND CHARACTERS BELONG TO GUERRILLA GAMES.] Mostly femslash ships, you know me.. [Aloy/Ikrie],[Margo/Petra?],[Talanah/Vanasha?]

It's over. As soon as he watched Aloy achieve her dream, the one he had dedicated himself to helping her attain, everything comes crumbling down around them. There are some perks to dying, no doubt, but there are also regrets.

Recovered datapoints from Japanese civilians and members of the Japanese Automated Defense during late-2064 and early-2065. The destruction of Japan by the rogue swarm has been a mystery. These datapoints from the point of view of ten different people on the island country shed some light on their demise.

Ever since the day that little girl saved his life, he's been connected to her. Twelve years later, he'll finally get his chance to meet her again. Even if he's the only one that can look past her status as outcast, and even though he's not viewed much more favorably than she is, he'll do everything he can to erase the pain in her eyes.

Outcast as an infant, Aloy grew up learning how to survive in a wilderness teeming with mechanical beasts. When her tribe's rite of passage called the Proving is attacked, destiny leads her outside the Sacred Lands in search of revenge, secrets of the Old Ones and the history of their world. She doesn't have time for love… or does she?

A collection of one-shots about Aloy and Teb, because I love them. Teb is one of the best characters in the game, and is very underappreciated in my personal opinion.

After the defeat of HADES and the Eclipse, Aloy returns to the Sacred Lands to contemplate on her life as she prepares for the dangers still to come in the future. Along the way, she meets with her new friends to reflect on the long journey she has taken. Upon returning to her old home, Aloy reunites with Varl and begins to wonder about how she really feels about him. [AloyxVarl]

She meets a man and he has a story to tell her, as does she, then they work together to end the Derangement. But the Derangement could end them all as Hephaestus is working on a new machine that just may achieve the Subroutine's genocidal goal.

When Aloy had mentioned wanting to get out of the city for a bit and invited Erend along, climbing a Tallneck was not what he thought they'd be doing.

When trying to impress the weraks, Aloy stumbles upon a downed Tallneck. She finds the parts and brings life to the towering machine, never in her wildest dreams would she have thought it would return the favour.

The machines will rise again... (Detailed summary inside.) *Update at the end of chapter 27. Sorry for the unannounced hiatus. Please don't kill me*
