Summary
Our story begins with Aloy’s discovery of the Memorial Grove—and the wounded Marshal she thought had died at the Embassy. She is low on patience; Kotallo is low on faith. Slowly, slowly, they will teach each other.
What follows are a succession of miracles, rewarded with acts of devotion. Each one takes them further down a path they’re not entirely sure they’re on—until it’s far too late to turn back. Who’s to say they didn’t fall in love? (If they did, this is how it happened.)
The Marshal is complete. 🖤 Thank you for reading!

Summary
V enters Mikoshi, but she does not exit.
Johnny is running out of time to find her. The moment he offhandedly commented on the fate of every runner being that they would fry themselves in their own chair was weighing on him heavily every day. Particularly now that two of the best Netrunners he has ever known are unreachable beyond the Blackwall, and trying to find V is like searching for a digitised needle in a virtual haystack.
He was not wrong, every Netrunner eventually took it too far, burned too bright, and then they were gone. Even Alt.
But this time, he needs to be wrong about V.

Summary
When Kotallo lost his arm, it was more than just a limb that he had lost. It was his prowess with a bow. It was his utility as a Marshal. His arm was gone, his life a ruin, and nothing would ever be the same.
It did not occur to him that this could be a good thing.
It did not occur to him that he could find new purpose in his life. It did not occur to him that an outlander with hair like blood and a spirit as fierce as blazefire would help him find that purpose.
With Aloy as his witness, Kotallo would find himself again, and nothing would ever be the same.
********************
In other words: a wish fulfillment fic where Aloy and Kotallo fall in love over the course of the game. Canon scenes and dialogue blended and padded out with introspection, cozy conversations, smut, and all the GAIA Gang bonding that we deserved. ❤Series

Summary
He exhales, shifting, visibly as on edge as V feels right now. Fuck, she’s getting a little worked up by so much as the proposition, which is… confusing. “You’re still going, which gets me going, which puts us both in a fuckin’--”
“Feedback loop,” V concludes. Fuck. He’s got a point. An actual, legitimate point.
---
In which V and Johnny look for convenience and find something deep, confusing, and potentially tragic.
