A collection of ficlets. Ch1: Aloy has a stop to make before following the warparty.

Meridian burns, Hades broadcasts, Aloy fights, and during it all, a King just tries to keep his people- and himself- together. A more realistic retelling of the Battle of Meridian and it's immediate aftermath, from Avad's perspective. Sequel to What If: Responsibility or Calling.

Fauks just wants to get home, but the bloody body in front of him changes everything.

After the Battle against the Zeniths, Aloy has continued her work of trying to save the world from Nemesis and helping others. But, Aloy decides it's time to finally take a well-deserved rest. Invited by Erend to spend the week in Hidden Ember, Aloy ponders the growing feelings in her heart for her ally and what it means for them both and their mission. Crossposted from AO3.

Cast adrift by the liberation of Meridian, Bea has spent the years since struggling to find her place in the world. When a trio of travelling showmen offer her the chance to build a new life in their fledgling settlement, Hidden Ember, she doesn't hesitate for long before agreeing to join them. She wasn't expecting to come face to face with one of the Sundoms best known heroes...

What if... Avad helped confront Helis? A novel-style retelling of how the Terror of the Sun was finally felled.

Aloy had done it. Uncovered the secrets to humanities continued existence. Defeated HADES, who sought to threaten the world. Now Aloy returns to the AI CYAN to get answers, ending up with more questions. Machines are becoming more dangerous, the environment more hostile. Her goal to rebuild GAIA seems impossible. Especially when her path leads to the Forbidden West…

From the moment he was born, Jast was an outcast - all for the simple fact that he was motherless. Shunned and insulted his entire life, Jast had only one goal - to find out who his mother was. But when his and Aloy's pursuit of personal riddles uncovers ancient secrets that have lain buried for nearly a thousand years, the fate of the world may depend on his and Aloy's hands.

Aloy returns to the Base hoping to get some well-deserved rest, but constant nightmares lurk in her mind. Will she continue to struggle alone against them or let a certain Oseram past her armor to bring her comfort? Basically, Aloy has nightmares about her past and Erend just wants to help her however he can. Eventual Ereloy. Cross-posted from AO3. Part 1 of Shelter.

After defeating Hades, Aloy's quest is far from done. She has to learn enough about the old world's technology to restart GAIA, so that the machines can go back to their terra-forming purpose. During her quest for answers, she meets a girl, that knows more about the past and about the Work of Elisabet Sobek, than possible. Who is she, and why does she follow Aloy?

After Varl's death, Aloy is determined never to lose another friend to the cause again. Kotallo is determined to see Aloy succeed at her mission, even if it should cost him his life. A perilous journey south sparks new flame between them - but this fire does not simply warm. It also burns.

Erend doesn't think very highly about himself, but he's doing his best to fill her shoes. The trouble is, he can't seem to stop thinking about the Nora Huntress with the red hair, freckles, and a smile like the sun. And the king certainly isn't doing him any favors by sending him on a wild goose chase through the wilderness to find her.

It had felt like an eternity. Not the kind of eternity that burned slow like the embers of a forge being stoked, and pushed, and bellowed with great love and care. No, it was the kind of eternity that seemed like a punishment for asking for a sliver of happiness amongst the decay of the world. Where Aloy nearly dies, and Erend finally tells her (and she him) how he feels.

Several months after the defeat of Nemesis, Aloy and Erend enjoy a night under the lights of Hidden Ember and discuss what they want to do, now that the world isn't ending for once. Pure fluff/one-shot

As if there wasn't enough trouble with Nemesis on the way, Aloy has discovered that something crawled out of the ruins of Thebes. The reincarnation of Elisabet Sobeck must deal with this nightmare once and for all! Rated T for violence.

Just a little one-shot about Aloys hopes for life, when her mission is over. Minor spoilers for early parts (maybe first quarter of the game) of Horizon: Forbidden West. Hope you'll enjoy!

"What if a supernatural/fantasy like aspect was added into the Horizon universe. Like if Aloy or her friends had super strength, pyromancy, or even time reversal. The people of earth in that universe would have a much better time dealing with all the insane threats coming their way," was my last thought before being hit by a truck. Semi-OP SI/OC, Gamer-ish, and slight AU.

Novelization of the scene revealing Ted Faro's fate in Forbidden West, written from Alva's perspective. Spoiler warning.

When GAIA at last integrates HEPHAESTUS, she begins to make the Machines of the world a lot friendlier...

Lors d'un lendemain particulièrement difficile, Aloy semble avoir perdu les souvenirs de la soirée de la veille, qui a été bien arrosée par de la bière oseram. Et Érend ne semble pas vouloir l'aider à s'en souvenir...

Aloy va aider Érend à retrouver sa sœur. Et si le fait de voyager en sa compagnie pendant un certain temps changeait un peu son point de vue ? Elle qui avait l'habitude de voyager seule se retrouve avec quelqu'un sur qui veiller... et surtout quelqu'un qui veille sur elle.

Before the Nora, the Carja and the Oseram, there were the Ancient Ones. This is the story of Dr. Samina Ebadji, world-renowned expert in cultural heritage and Alpha in charge of APOLLO, and her time working on Project: Zero Dawn. This is the story of how life was like before the world ended, of how the work of ten scientists gave the world a future.

Three years after the Battle for Merdian, Aloy and Erend meet back atop the Alight, this time to get married! Fluffy Ereloy one-shot of their wedding in Meridian, officiated by Avad, Talanah is there too, with an additional flashback to Erend's proposal.

Aloy is a young girl searching across the machine ridden world for answers about her past. She wasn't prepared for the young Banuk girl she'd come across in the Frozen Wilds

With Ikrie at a loose end after her ordeal on the glacier and the loss of her friendship with Mailen, Aloy offers to go adventuring with her. As for what they're both looking for, she's not sure, but her bond with the Banuk wanderer is already deepening, and she's both nervous and curious to see where it will lead them. Aloy/Ikrie, post-Zero Dawn :D
