Summary
Before Aloy. Before the Red Raids. Before it all.
This is a story about Helis and his wife — a tale of love, duty, and the choices that shaped him into the man he would become. Set twenty years before the events of Horizon Zero Dawn.
Can be read as a standalone.
In Nonmetallic Shards I softened Helis’s character a lot, and I really like him there. I also like him in the game, because besides the fact that he is insanely GOOD, they for some reason gave him a personal tragedy with the death of his family, let Aloy choose an option where she can feel pity for him during the final battle, and, in the end, he can’t just kill her without turning it into a ritual.
That’s why I picture him this way.
And this story will be an attempt to marry Shards with canon—a prequel.Series

Summary
A Prophecy From Gaia, as foretold by Seer Brin, Year 963 Before Devotement (BD):
"Magic will wane like the moon from the night sky, We of scale and tail become scant and sporadic. Mother Earth seeks to correct what has gone awry, A child she sends to us, most enigmatic. The Immortal Sovereign, Truest Mate."Aloy, orphan and adopted daughter to Rost, is sent running suddenly one night, chased away by the kind old lady in town who delivered news of her father's death. What will follow is a tale of prophecy, fate, and teaching a pompous noble living like a hermit on top of a mountain to do something about the state of the continent. Love was never in the cards. Or was it?

Summary
A Nil-centric, mostly canon compliant-ish exploration of our favorite Carja murder hobo, with a backstory growing up as a child and a young man in the Sundom before going off to war during the time of the Mad King Jiran. This will follow Nil through his time in the Forbidden West and the Liberation of Meridian all the way through meeting up with Aloy and the Battle of the Alight. Very slow burn Nil/Aloy fic with a happy ending...for now!
Very minor spoilers, lore, and characters from Horizon Forbidden West and Horizon Call of the Mountain are used to tell his story, but are not necessary to have played before reading
NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
Aloy x Kotallo:
Unngåelig (Meaning 'Dispensable' in Norwegian).
A motherless child. An outcast shunned by her tribe | A powerful warrior moving through the ranks. A threat to the power of command. Both dispensable to the clan of their birth, a Nora Savage and a Tenakth Soldier find themselves fighting to keep one another alive when forced into Meridian’s macabre Sun-Ring. Will they be victorious or will they fall victim to the arena, like so many before them?
** This story takes inspiration from the cultural significance of the proving to the Nora, the importance of the Werak to the Banuk and the Kulrut and March of the Ten to the Tenakth. Each of these trials demands all that a warrior has to give, as will the trials in this story.
*** Hunger Games/Maze Runner inspired AU.

Summary
In a relentless world where destiny hangs on the slender thread of fate, Aloy is thrust into the heart of the Sun Ring's unforgiving arena during the infamous Carja Red Raids. Within this haunting chronicle of divergent fates, our huntress lays bare a savage spirit forged in defiance. This story invites you into a realm where Aloy must confront the chilling truths that surface when one lives for so long in the shadows. Will she emerge the hero or fall to the darkness steeped heavily in blood and death?
A/N: This is an alternative narrative on what-if Aloy had been kidnapped during the Red Raids for the Sun Ring instead of living her life peacefully in the Embrace, and what her life might've been like. This is based on base-game lore from HZD and HFW about the Red Raids pre-HZD and takes heavy inspiration from the Liberation comics. Please see further information in the Author's Note at the start of the first chapter.

Summary
Finally they dragged the captive into the bright Meridian sun. It was a girl, a young woman really, bound and pulled along by three acolytes, each with a lead of rope that they held taut between them. She was forced to stagger along, lest she fall to the burning metal floor of the Sun-ring with her hands tied behind her back.
Talanah only had a second or so to take this in, distracted as she was by the way the sun's rays beat down upon the positively sweltering outfit of skins and leather that denoted her as a Nora- and lit up the young woman's hair like a canister of Blaze. The girl’s hair shone as bright as a flame beneath the brilliant rays of the sun, corded into braids of brilliant ruddy copper.
or, Talanah Khane Padish is an unfortunate guest of the Mad Sun-King and Aloy is an unfortunate captive slated to be sacrificed in the Sun-ring. This is how it begins. This is not how it ends.
