    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. ❤

    Summary

    At his very core, Hordak is a conqueror. He will do whatever is needed in order to win, whether that entails building an empire out of a broken ship, attempting to clone his failing body, or even marrying an Etherian princess to secure advanced weaponry.

    In an act of desperation, he reluctantly partners with the Princess of Dryl in technological collaboration. However, he soon finds himself outsmarted, outclassed, and slowly going out of his mind as he realizes how much he doesn't hate it.

    Summary

    She didn't want his explanations. She didn't want his lies. She just wanted him gone.

    He shouldn't have noticed. He shouldn't have allowed himself to see her that way. She was the enemy.

    Series rewrite.

    Summary

    Entrapta arrives in the Fright Zone right as Prime arrives, and ends up on Prime's ship with Hordak.
    ...
    “Little sister,” he said. “What did you call my brother?”
    Hordak’s lips parted and his eyes widened. His chest felt tight. He wished he could tell Entrapta to be quiet, not to tell Prime he had named himself, but - it was too late.
    Entrapta giggled as she sat back on her hair and crossed her legs. She was finally meeting Prime, Hordak had been working so hard for all of this, though the way he was acting was strange. Entrapta turned to the larger figure. "I called him Hordak. That's his name! He's my lab partner! We worked so hard to build the portal to send you that signal!" She beamed. "I'm so glad you got it! Another successful experiment!"
    Hordak gasped, putting his ears back.
    “Your name?” Prime said cooly, a faint edge to these words.
    He knelt on one knee in front of Hordak, taking his face in his hands. For a moment it almost seemed sweet, how gently he held his brother’s face.
    “Why can I not see your thoughts?” he asked. “Have you strayed so far from me, little brother?”
    “No, no!” Hordak gasped. “I am still loyal! I-” A cry of pain cut his speech short.
