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!)

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

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.)

Born an outcast, and suddenly thrust into a new role as a Seeker, Aloy - quite frankly - really as no idea what she's doing. All she knows is she needs to find the woman who looks like her. Is she her mother? She has no idea. And there is a lot she doesn't have time for. But, she slowly finds that there's a certain Vanguardsman who she'll always have a minute for. Maybe even two.

After Project: Zero Dawn was completed and sealed. General Herre's and the men under his command stood defiant in the face of certain death, they are the only ones left facing the swarm. As death approached, they did not flee they, did not surrender. They stood defiantly and made sure they did not go gently into that final night. (One-shot)

Snap-shot format story from Rost's POV about raising Aloy and some "hidden scenes" we didn't get from the game. Provides a look into the father/daughter relationship between the two. Story is finished as of Nov 5 2018. I updated previous chapters so please enjoy!

HORIZON:ZERO DAWN Continuation. The secrets of Aloy's past are finally put to rest, but her adventure isn't over yet. As Aloy returns from finding her truth she happens upon a secret that was never meant to be unearthed. Pandora's box is opened & unleashes a Beast that will do anything to extinguish the only light that may help save GAIA & the world from an even greater threat.

Metal flower Mark 1 - C wakes with the sunlight to resume the basic terraforming functions it has performed for hundreds of years, but is startled with the sudden disconnection from its base.

Three years after the events of Horizon: Zero Dawn, the Sunhawk of the Hunter's Lodge in Meridian, Talanah Khane Padish, has gone missing. Sun-King Avad has tasked Nora Brave Aloy to investigate the Sunhawk's disappearance and bring her back to Meridian, no matter where it will take her. Please read and review!

"Sometimes I just don't get you. Are you like us," the fabled 'us', this subsection of humanity, a breed of his own, "or a little different?" The look she cuts him is sharper than a blade, more meaningful than that first drop of blood upon the dusty earth. "Hopefully a little different."

The Eclipse is gone, but the Nora's plight is far from over. Still reeling from the last attack, the tribe is divided on how to move forward, especially without the aid of the Anointed. It is during this crucible that Varl, son of War-Chief Sona, stumbles upon something that threatens to destroy everything he thought he knew.
