~CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BOTH HORIZON ZERO DAWN AND HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST~ 
~NOW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BURNING SHORES DLC~
~ALSO THIS IS A X FEM READER~

Being an outcast in the Nora meant you were not allowed to associate with any of the other Nora, but that didn't stop you from trying to befriend the one outcast you saw day in and day out, training for something you had no idea for. Trying to befriend them, you were always stopped either by one of the older Nora members or from the man who was training the young outcast. Once you were older and saw the outcast come into the tribe itself was the chance you finally needed to get to know them better and try to befriend them.All Rights Reserved

"A PAINLESS HELL"-- Y!Forsaken X GN!SelfAware!Reader by MultifandomCherry

You never signed up for this. Neither did the ones who put you here. Getting to redo everything from the beginning was supposed to be your punishment. Not this. You weren't even done with it. So why here? Why this, out of all things? THEY think that this is "hell". THEY think that this is the worst it could get. THEY think that this is pain. You know that this is far from it. You've seen their naivety for yourself a hundred times over. You know how to stop it. You know how to fix it. Fix them. You know how to SAVE them. But when you join their so-called "everlasting" fate, Will you save them? Or will you leave them to rot? (And can you save yourself, too?) A Forsaken Reader Insert by MultifandomCherry (totallynot_b) only on Wattpad Slow (ish) updates! Some parts might not be accurate to the game because I quit a long time ago due to the drama... I SWEAR THAT THE WRITING GETS BETTER AS CHAPTERS GO ON

The Sweet Escape |Part 1| The Carja by Alexxxxaloy

[Aloy x Erend fanfiction] Published Jan/Feb 2023. This fanfiction takes place in the Horizon game world (Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West) and takes place immediately after the events of Forbidden West. This story is the first Part of a trilogy. Part 2 now published! After their victory against the Zeniths, Aloy decided to pay a visit to Erend in Hidden Ember. As she was working out her feelings for her best friend, her relationship took an unexpected turn as the pair was disturbed by an intruder Erend has known... maybe a bit too well. As they set up for an epic quest to retrieve a rogue AI and save the world, this will unfold a series of events that will force both of them to face old - and new - demons... And maybe this will also push Aloy and Erend to figure out the next step of their relationship. [Fanart by @Chib95] ⚠️ Warning: Spoilers for both games.

[DISCONTINUED] Intertwined (G Sans x Female Reader) by IOUnot123

Y/N never did fit it in with the crowd, always the outcast, misunderstood, and judged for the peculiar things she did or didn't . Because the world was what it was, she never opened up to anyone, building numerous walls around herself, shutting everyone out so that no one could break them down. Therefore, because she was alone and prefered to keep to herself, she was mostly observant of what others did around her, and as well as being socially awkward, she avoided conversations with people in most scenarios at all costs. What happens when Y/N meets a certain skeleton monster from the underground? Will she let her guard down or will she shut him out? I DO NOT OWN UNDERTALE, ECHOTALE, OR ANY OF THE AU'S

Lords of Fire MC (MC Romance, Thriller) [complete] by GlennHefley

MC Romance Neil watched for too long, he figured. His club, the Lords MC in Florida became more 'outlaw' every week, and he saw no opportunity to change that direction. He never wanted to be outlaw, and now he was delivering enough to put him down for 30 years, three times a week. With his dad passing away, and his little sisters needing him around more, it was a wake-up call. Time to ride, with someone else if he found a pack worth joining, or lone wolf if not. With his status and tenure, it never occurred to him that he wouldn't be allowed to move on. When Shayla and Sydney came in as dealers a few years back instead of finishing college, their vow was a few years then out. They had a hell of a run. Parties that were legend, lovers of every sexy man type from Cuban to Norwegian and back again. But it was game time again. The years were great, but not what they wanted for their lives. Then they met Neil, and it was like seeing themselves for the first time, in stark light. He was always courteous and professional, unlike their other delivery men from the MC. He never treated them with anything except respect. In the reflection of his cobalt eyes, though, neither saw themselves worth his respect. It wasn't a shaming, more of a profound regret that a man like Neil finally showed up and they were too far into the life to say "hey, this isn't who we are." The whole "I'm not as I am" Othello play was for victims anyway, and they weren't victims. They were volunteers. But just meeting Neil slammed the door on waiting any longer to get out and back to university. Then two other dealers left the club, and turned up in trash bags, their bodies hacked up by machete.

"You are my complete opposite.. Talkative, handsome, extrovert... Why am I getting feelings for you..?" ---------- Frost Spirit was a new boss, and didn't really seemed to get along with anyone, except his friend Sledger. But the day came that creator introduced him to some of the bosses.. He was first introduced to Krampus, Ducky D00m, Swordmaster, Fallen King and the Void Reavers. Most of them didn't found any interest into being his friend except for one, Krampus, as he was also a Christmas boss he.. Wanted them to get to know a bit more with each other. And one day, Krampus invited Frost to go out(as friends not dating), which he accepted but never told him that other bosses would come as well, which kinda made him feel inferior to the others and just kept quiet for the whole night..

My Time Has Passed (RWBY X Legendary Huntsman Male Reader) (OLD) by DekuMidoriyaXT_V2

(Y/N), The Greatest Huntsman of All Time, have been a hero to everyone in Remnant for quite some time now. Your militaristic training and ideals has shaped the 4 kingdoms permanently. The faunus believes that you will one day take them out of their oppressive captors. The White Fang respects you for your deeds, hoping that one day, you will support them. The Grimm trembles as you walk near them. This was your legacy, what you left behind. But what happens if you came back from the dead? What happens if you saw your beloved world in constant chaos? Will you once again take up arms and fight for good? Or will you deem this planet no longer your own and unleash the wrath that has been inside you ever since? It is time to pick a side. Every decision you make will tip the balance of this already fragile scale. You will meet old and new friends. Be a part of something that you never thought you'll be in again. Oh you know what the ships will be, eheheh. Trying something new here. It's out of my jurisdiction, but this idea was stuck in my head for quite a while now.

Your family hates you, your friends hate you, so does your spoiled roommate. Pretty sure even the stray dogs and cats wanted nothing to do with you.

Hopefully it was worth it. Started: 08/11/25 Ended:???

After the War's End by horizon_digital

Aloy wakes up in Meridian alongside the Sun-King Avad, not knowing how her got there. Together, they will experience adventures and emotions that will form strong bonds between these characters. 🧭 This story takes place after Horizon Forbidden West, but before Burning Shores (I haven't played the DLC). It contains references to previous games and DLCs, so I recommend playing them beforehand. 🎮 The story is perfectly understandable without having completed them, but if you know the games, it will help you better understand the workings of this post-apocalyptic world. 🧠 I have focused on delving into the psychology and development of the characters based on what appears in the games and past experiences that have marked them in such a way that they lead to who they are currently, which I have elaborated to fit the context of these characters. ⚠️ Contains spoilers that could reveal important parts of the plot of said games. #66 of 13.6K on Postapocaliptic (27.10.2024) ⛔️ Copying, adapting, or translating this fanfic is prohibited.

During that time, you were between life and death, but instead.. something unexpected happened. Now, the roles have swapped, and you have been launched into a familiar hellish world you have already had experience in. You needed to get back- FAST. Before things get.. weird. But if the powerful deity who trapped you here found out, would they allow it? OBVIOUSLY not, but they can suck it. Your presence will be known, and you're going to make sure of it just by being the chaotic person you are. thought of this on 6 hours of sleep and daydreaming, wish me luck chat :/
