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.

I Will Always Have A Minute For You [Ereloy]
Cover art by godliath on Twitter/Tumblr ♥ **Please be kind, I am very self-conscious about my writing, especially with ship fanfiction. This was written in September 2020.** An Ereloy fanfic that takes place post-game, but Aloy meets up with Erend one last time before making her way to the Cut. Canon dialogue has been inserted. I do not take credit for any of that. Rumors spread around Meridian like wildfire. The Savior of Meridian with the Captain of the Vanguard? No one could believe it. Except for those in the Vanguard. They knew Erend had always had a crush on her. It was just that he believed she didn't like him back.Complete
The Sweet Escape |Part 1| The Carja
[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.
