    Summary

    It starts with a sparring match. The ring of metal on metal, the pounding of her blood in her ears and sweat stinging her eyes, mud on her knees. It starts with the two of them, breathless and flushed, tucked away in a secluded corner of the Grove, wondering when a sparring match became something else.

    Or: Aloy experiences a sexual awakening, Kotallo offers therapeutic sparring, Erend earns his "World's Best Big Brother" badge, and Beta discovers an old-world musical tradition called "AC/DC".

    Summary

    There were few things in this life that made it worth living, especially when the world was trying to kill itself. A good bow, a full quiver, a sharp spear--some truly stupid enemies that would die easily never hurt, too.

    But, what truly made life worth it? Family. Friends. People to trust and depend on.

    Now, if only Aloy could just keep them together and alive, that would be great.

    Summary

    For as long as Aloy can remember, the mission, whatever it may be, has always been the most important thing. Problems to solve, people to help, a world to save—there’s never been room for anything, anyone else.

    Because letting people in, letting people know her, really know her, letting them see all her flaws and weaknesses is a risk beyond anything she’s ever faced. It’s easy enough to push people away and maintain a comfortable—a safe—distance.

    Until Kotallo. Until suddenly she wants things she’s never allowed herself to want. Until suddenly she has them.

    But after a lifetime of walls and running, learning to be vulnerable, to trust someone with all the fragile, broken pieces of herself? That takes time.

    Summary

    ...

    “Would you like to come on a ride with me? See what it feels like up there?”

    For them, it starts with Sunwing rides, and evolves into much more. Where there is pain, there is healing. In the darkness, there's always a crack. That's how the light gets in.

    -- A story about flying, falling, and letting go.

    (Angst with a happy ending)
