You never told me exactly how your sister escaped the Mad Sun-King.

Thanks @souls-that-have-senses for such a lovely commission request! It was an absolute joy to draw Erend and Ersa just being the best siblings ❤️
My sketch was heavily influenced and inspired by her gorgeous fic, which everyone should check out immediately!

Ao3 Fanfics
With the encouragement of a few friends, I have decided to start posting here on Tumblr my Ao3 Horizon fandom stories that I write. I'm fairly new to these parts, so please let me know if you see any way I can improve how I put these up.
I also would love to hear from you guys so feel free to send me any Asks or messages!
My Works
Stories in Progress:
Road to Mainspring - Aloy/Erend
In the weeks after the Battle of the Alight, Aloy is recruited to escort Dervahl to Mainspring with Erend Vanguardsman - a journey neither of them expected to go the way it did. Set after Zero Dawn, before Forbidden West.
Rating: Mature/Explicit (for eventual smut)
Blood and Sandstone - Aloy AU re: Carja Red Raids
An alternate narrative following the 'what if' of Aloy being kidnapped during the Red Raids for the Sun Ring instead of living her life peacefully in the Embrace, and what her life might've been like during that time.
Features: Ersa, Erend (eventual Ereloy), Rost, Helis, Avad, Jiran and so many others...
Rating: Mature/Explicit (for dark themes, violence, eventual smut)
Echoes of Enduring Hearts - Aloy/Avad
Aloy and Avad navigate a complicated relationship before and after the events of Horizon: Forbidden West.
Rating: Teen and Up (for now, who knows, will update if it changes)
Completed Stories and One-Shots:
A Breath of Fresh Air - Aloy/Kotallo (maybe completed, tbd)
Set just before heading to the mission to the GEMINI cauldron. Kotallo notices Aloy getting antsy being cooped up in the base as they wait for Beta to prepare herself for the merge and finish the 'rig', so he invites her for an outdoor excursion.
Rating: Teen and Up
Embers of the Past - Aloy/Erend
Prompt for two minutes Oseramtober 2023 - "Ember"
Aloy takes a friend's advice for some downtime and ends up coming face to face with a messy part of her and Erend's past. Will they be able to finally move past it or will it burn everything they'd built to embers and ash?
Rating: Teen and Up

Some Horizon character orientation headcanons:
Aloy - straight but curious
Zo - straight
Varl - straight but comfy enough for fmm threesomes, if Zo ever asked
Kotallo - straight
Erend - mad there isn't a "I'm only interested in Aloy" option
Beta - aro ace
Alva - straight but the idea of Flirting with a Man makes her want to die apparently she canonically has a gf but to me she has big clueless straight energy
Nil - bi
Avad - straight
Ersa - heterosexual, biromantic
Teb - ace & panromantic
Petra - gay
Talanah - bi
Sylens - gay but annoyed by such trifling things as sexual urges
Nakoa - unsure and dealing with too much trauma to explore that any deeper right now
Janeva - uninterested in answering this question and if you ask again will have you on latrine duty but has been spotted in the company of a certain Nora stitcher on more than one occasion

Avad, built like a quarterback:
Aloy: ersa and the king seem close
Erend: how dare you accuse my sister, a good honest Oseram, of being attracted to a twink
(Im sorry, I have never recovered from Erend's only issue with the idea of Ersa and Avad being that "he seems too skinny for her." I love Oseram.)

Here's a cozy ask UwU What are Erend's hugs like/what kinds of hugs does he like?
(btw I don't mind you posting my asks publically please go ahead!)
Erend's hugs are like wrapping yourself in a blanket that's just been in the dryer. They are warm and comforting. Each hug is a little different for him.
Of course for those people that are special to Erend like Ersa and Aloy, they get get the big and loving bear hug. He engulfs you and holds you tight to him, and with Aloy he loves when she nuzzles her face into his chest or neck. He'll also give little forehead kisses.
With dear friends like Varl, they still get the big hug but also some pats on the back for reassurance so they know he's happy to see them.
Kotallo and Zo get the side hugs where he nudges them enough into his side to let them know he's happy they are there. Of course Zo get's the soft gentle hugs because he knows what the Utaru is capable of and could strike at any moment. Typically Erend would wrap his arm around Kotallo's shoulders, always mindful of the Tenakth's arm. Even though he doesn't seem to mind, Erend still wishes to be respectful.
Alva and Beta get the warm hug where he will rock them back and forth to get a laugh out of them. He's found new sisters and some times it makes him a little emotional. So he plays it off this way as well as lifting them off their feet in victory or when it's been too long since he's seen them.
Sylen's gets a nod of the head. There's no way Erend is hugging that guy. Mostly because he would be too tempted to just toss Sylen's to the ground for being such a dick to Aloy. But Erend wouldn't do such a thing. Not without Aloy's approval first.
This turned in to one big fluff post and I love it. Thank you for the ask my dear!!! It made me all warm and fuzzy. Like Erend!

What's Jiran do for a living?
ERSA: Old bastard used to be head of a mining company--for gold, specifically, I think it was, or some other precious ore. Literal gold-digger, hah.
ERSA: Did his workers and their families, and his own family, wrong again and again. There were casualties. It really was a mess. Hell, Avad was driven to law in the first place so he could right all his wrongs.
ERSA: Jiran kicked it two years ago--his family’d been estranged from him for years at that point. So frankly, good riddance to bad rubbish.

I desperately want a horizon spin off game where you play as Ersa during the revolution with Avad and extend etc. I need more Ersa content since that comic.

SPOILERS FOR HORIZON FORRBIDDEN WEST
Okay so who was going to tell me about Ersa...
Seriously no one was gonna tell me that Avad snuck Ersa out of the palace by dressing her as a Carja noble woman but she only agreed to it because he also dressed as a Carja noble woman to smuggle her out of Meridian?? And she said he looked better that way??
I fucking love this game so much.
