The Trope: "Starchrossed Lovers" meets "Race Against Time"
The Setup
Elara is a "Closer" someone trained to be clinical, calm, and comforting. Her job is to process the paperwork and provide the final meal for those whose 50th birthday has arrived. She's been the best in her sector because she never gets attached.
That changes when she meets Julian. He's a "Runner" (someone who tries to bypass their Toll) who was captured. But Julian isn't 50-he's only 32. And when Elara pulls his file to process his early "termination," she finds a digital glitch: her own name is linked to his.

A LOVE TOO LATE
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING ❤️ This story is currently marked Complete, but please note that the latter half of the story is a temporary/current version. After my exams, I will be rewriting the second half of the story, including the redemption arc, because I feel that some emotions, character development and the deeper message I wanted to convey were not expressed strongly enough through my writing. The current version will remain available for now, so new readers are welcome to read it as it is. ❤️ The rewritten version will have stronger emotional depth, more developed character growth, and a more gradual and clearly earned redemption, so that the storyline and its intended message are conveyed better. Please keep this in mind before starting the story. ❤️ Thank you for reading and supporting my work. 🫶🏻 ..................

But when the truth finally comes out, regrets arrive too late. Choosing herself for the first time, Anushree returns to the family she left behind, taking her son with her.

The Point of the Spear [🇪🇸&🇺🇸]
Esta historia relata algunos acontecimientos entre Avad y Aloy, para quienes no nos cansamos de leer sobre estos dos. Algunos son sucesos que podrían haber ocurrido en mi anterior fan fiction, pero que no incluí para no alargarlo demasiado. También encontrarás otras escenas alternativas que podrían haber ocurrido. Es muy recomendable que hayas jugado previamente a los juegos para entender mejor el contexto, y que te hayas leído mi Fanfic (ya concluido) sobre este juego, llamado "Después de la Guerra", para que puedas entender de manera más clara la perspectiva de estos personajes. · #1 en Postapocalíptico (27/10/2024), (Febrero 2025) · #2 en Horizon (21/07/2024) · #4 en HorizonZeroDawn (30/07/2024) [🇺🇸] This story recounts certain events between Avad and Aloy, for those of us who never tire of reading about these two. Some events could have happened in my previous fan fiction, but I chose not to include them so as not to make it too lengthy. You'll also find alternative scenes that could have taken place. It's highly recommended that you've played the games beforehand to better understand the context, and that you've read my (now completed) fanfic on this game, titled After the War, to gain a clearer perspective on these characters. · #2 in Horizon (07/21/2024) · #4 in HorizonZeroDawn (07/30/2024)
