    Summary

    Picks up right at the end of Horizon: Forbidden West (so spoilers for the games).

    Aloy's tired and her body (and heart) is broken. She's on the verge of a nervous breakdown. For reasons yet to be explored, she flies straight to Meridian and its handsome Sun King. There Aloy and Avad 'get to know one another properly' and carve out a little slice of peace before the world goes to hell again.

    AN: This story is getting a gradual edit.

    Summary

    She comes to him once a year. Adorned in Carja silks and the tiara he once gifted her long ago. He stands at that balcony each year on the anniversary of the Battle of the Alight. Pretends he can see the statue he had built in admiration of her from where he is, hears the celebrations in her honour in the streets. A reminder that she’s never truly gone.

    He waits for her there, taking in the constellations that crowd the sun soaked bridges of rock. He can always feel the air change just when she is about to pull herself up over the bannister. And then there she is, all fire swept behind the pale gleam of moonlight. And though she moves like a shadow she’s bright like a solar flare.

    *Heavy spoilers for the very beginning of Horizon: Forbidden West and very mild ones scattered throughout*

    Summary

    For years, the Red Raids slaughtered hundreds. Now that Avad has taken the throne, he wishes to change the Carja people into something better. But marriage is an obstacle he can't seem to go around. Luckily, his Guard has advised looking beyond what is already known and into the unknown.

    Aloy has only had Rost for most of her life, but soon after the Proving, an illness took him, leaving Aloy within a tribe that still shuns her. One day, strange people show up and Aloy is tasked to go with them in order to marry the Sun King as his queen.

    Summary

    [Jacob x Reader]

    During a time of great oppression, a time of invention, a time of great supremacy to the more wealthy, you learn that despite being a rich girl from Cambridge who once looked down at the poor, that even the poor need to be free.

    You are a well educated girl from a wealthy family of Cambridge, who had everything you wanted, whenever you wanted, just at the click of your fingers. But when your father eventually passes away, and inherits his apothecary to you, you discover that life in London isn't as simple as it seems. Especially not when a gang called the Blighters threaten your business.

    When you meet the Frye twins, things may seem to look up, but only for a short while as you get drawn into the fight against oppression, and against the most powerful man of London, Crawford Starrick.
