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.

After the final battle, Aloy finds herself in isolation once again. Spending her time in the remains of Elisabeth's home. The anticipation of getting back in the dangers of the world has Aloy getting ready to start another journey. However as she starts to return to civilization, she realizes life has changed while she was gone. As she embarks on her new journey she finds herself

How can someone who is losing everything comfort someone who never had anything to begin with? Erend/Aloy. May continue past the canon events of HZD. M rating for safety.

This story will stick mostly to cannon with slight deviations. I will follow the in-game storyline. And, yes, you read right. Aloy and Nil Aloy and Erend Aloy and Avad

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.

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.

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!)

John Valentine, a young man from the 2060's, awakens to find that the world has been changed forever...

""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

When the swarm reaches the east coast of the United States in early 2065, a young man from Virginia embarks on an unexpected journey during the apocalyptic invasion. His new life is filled with new friendships, despair, dread, hope, and joy. The sorrow of the past and the uncertainty of the future make the present his last refuge in what seems to be the end. [Now editing Ch. 12-21]

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 is female hero of the decade for video games! (As said by WatchMojo). So I am making a story for her! Five chapters, no ratings yet but I am leaving it M for cursing. Enjoy!

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

Aloy heads back to the Sacred lands to help rebuild and things. A few weeks later, Avad sends Erend and some of the Vanguard there to negotiate peaceful trades... Around the Embrace, they both find themselves drawn to another and life ensues. Will possibly go further into things like marriage and stuff!

Aloy is used to the look in people's eyes when they regard her. Hatred.Mistrust. Disgust. Sometimes, careful curiosity. Even rarer, cautious friendliness.A carefree smile, almost never. But there's something about the grief and fury in his eyes that feels so close to her own, that Aloy can't turn her back on. There is something else in his eyes she can't turn away from either.

Erend is sure his fate is too much for him to bear. His shoulders are strong, but not strong enough to carry his sisters legacy. But as he and Aloy hunt for Ersa's fate, he learns that being broken is no excuse, and that there are fates in the world that are worse than his. If she can carry the world, he can carry a city. Maybe, if he gets stronger, she'll let him help carry hers.

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. :-) ]]

Aloy must keep a promise to an old friend by exploring the land and "meeting" new people... Very M-Rated. Also on AO3!

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.

One of the people she shoved aside reacted too loudly, and the commotion caused him to turn around revealing his face again and confirming what she knew to be true, Ted Faro was in Meridian.

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.
