Summary
A story of two middle-aged men finally discovering who they are and what they want to be - now that they finally have the freedom to choose.
or
In which a retired king and his equally retired captain ride off into the sunset, finding themselves, a kid, and just maybe a little love along the way.
While technically this could be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading at least the Avad POV companion to this story: "In a City of Ice (There Are Burning Cathedrals". All of the stories are interconnected and build on each other.

Summary
Quinvar was once an Oseram warrior, a smith with a sharp mind and a steady hammer. But when a rogue faction of the Eclipse captures him and subjects him to brutal experiments, he emerges as something else—stronger, faster, and haunted by the whispers of machines now woven into his very being.
Determined to uncover the truth of his transformation, Quinvar returns home, only to be cast out as an outlander, a corrupted thing no longer fit to walk among his people. Alone and hunted, he sets out to track the remnants of the splintered Eclipse, determined to destroy them before they can twist others as they did him. But the deeper he digs, the more he unearths—forgotten ruins, ancient knowledge, and a looming danger even greater than HADES.
ON PAUSEAs his path crosses with Aloy’s, their fates intertwine against the rising storm. But can Quinvar forge his own destiny, or will he be just another echo of a shattered world?

Summary
Fashav, who shouldn't have survived the Embassy but somehow did because of something Aloy did, is tasked by his cousin Sun-king Avad with a pilgrimage. He shall walk in the footsteps of the Savior of Meridian and document what he can learn of her, to publish as a scroll for anyone who should wish to read it. He is joined by Marshals Chekkatah and Sentekka, who want to atone for the disrespect they showed her and honor the mercy they received by her hand and from her will, as well as many others who were touched by her in some way.
(Or, the author is replaying Horizon: Zero Dawn on her new PS5 and can't help but want to tie it in somehow.)
(2024.10 update: got my USB drive working and now most chapters have “postcard” illustrations from photomode)(This series is an exploration of the uses and limitations of potions, among other instances of what game mechanisms might feel like to those inside.)
