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
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
Diana Prince who Kara knows, right away, is definitely not human.
She's maybe not an alien, either - Kara's not sure. But she handles artifacts with a deliberateness that Kara recognizes in her own hands, in Clark's hands. She's built like a statue, tall and graceful with an accent that Kara can't quite place and super strength and kind eyes and soft hands and Kara makes a mental note to ask Kate exactly how Bruce's friend knows her.

(Not quite a WW84/Supergirl crossover. Scooped up the bits of WW84 that I loved and smushed them into the CWverse with both hands, added kissing.)

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.

Summary
When hunter-killer machines begin attacking the Memorial Grove, Aloy returns there to lend her aid. She arrives on the night of the blaze moon, a Tenakth ceremony that sweeps her up in it before she realizes it's happening. Suddenly suitors are seeking her out around every corner until she and Kotallo stumble into an...unorthodox solution.
That might cause more problems than it solves.
