Summary
»From what I see, the Bear Squad has gained a new cub!«
When Tekotteh announced the official outcome of the current initiation fight, no one at the pit would have thought it would be Nhevv—the young woman known for sneaking out of the Bulwark at night, as well as for her pranks, sharp tongue and strong-willed nature.
Even greater was the surprise when Tekotteh announced her further Guardian: Kotallo.And so Kotallo, who was always only responsible for himself, suddenly has to come to terms with the fact that he still has much to learn and that nothing happens without a reason.

The Call of Adventure by Sky1anders

Summary
After running out of leads on GAIA backups after the Zenith launch facility, Aloy and Varl join Talanah and her thrush Milu on a hunt in Jewel near the Eclipse's former base only to discover a Zero Dawn facility with not only a new lead but also two of the Alphas sealed into cryostasis; Elisabet Sobeck and Ayomide Okilo.
The ensuring adventure leads the Gaia Gang into the Forbidden West to track down a Gaia backup and the AI’s subordinate functions uncovering mysteries of the past and present and contending with threats such as the Tenakth civil war and one from beyond the stars.
This story is my take of the story of Horizon: Forbidden West, one of my favourite games of all time.

Summary
A story cannot have an ending, if it never truly began, a notion Aloy knows all too well.
** This is a re-work of my fic 'Orbit' (for a completely different fandom and very much irrelevant to this story).

Summary
She survived Helis. She survived the Eclipse. She survived Hades. Aloy withstood it all, and her vengeance has been won.
After the battle, there is both a hope for the future, and another fight still yet to face. Visions of Rost and his "letters to the wind" draw her towards the west, and murmurs of a way to bring back Gaia set her steadily on her path.
Now, Aloy faces the Forbidden West, and comes to learn and accept that this is not a path she has to walk alone.
Especially not after meeting a mysterious Tenakth with a strange connection back to the east.

Summary
“Your messenger that intercepted us yesterday could've been spared the errand to track us down.”
The Chief’s relaxed mood drops instantly. Aloy’s next words stick in her mouth as the sharp shift in energy turns her blood to ice.
“I sent no runners for Kotallo. Is he not with your squad?”
Her hand is already fumbling at her ear, fervently stacking hope against the dread building in her gut.
"Champion," Hekarro rises, gaze hardening. "Where is my Marshal?"
Kotallo wakes in a dangerous place, but he isn't alone. Aloy and Hekarro race to recover their boy.

Summary
Spare your pity and let me die.
Kotallo refuses to meet their eyes, utterly humiliated. Two large hands gently rest on his cheeks where the cruel device digs into his skin and tilt his face up from the ground.
"C'mere, big guy. Let's take a look at you."
He'd offer a half-hearted smirk if they could see past the metal mask still affixed tight to his face. Perhaps the word 'muzzle' is more appropriate, much as it makes him seethe: a leftover invention of eastern colonists who feared blood-drinking barbarians breaking their chains and cannibalizing innocents.
Those in the West may see him an impotent, broken man; in the East, they see a monster.
____________________
Kotallo comforts each of his squad: Alva injured in battle, Erend sick and stubborn, Zo needing support, and Aloy and Beta struggling to find connection. He swore on his life to give them whatever he has left.
And when he needs them most, his squad returns the favor. Whether he feels he deserves it or not.
