Talanah's chasing the trail of someone named Amadis - someone important to her. But I think... maybe she's really chasing after something that's right in front of her. Maybe it's right in front of me, too.

-- from Aloy's journal, probably

"GAIA, play Boyfriend by Dove Cameron"~ Aloy right after she came back from The Rot, probably

and when the earth is trembling on some new beginning (lover, be good to me) [horizon, aloy/talanah]

For an anonymous prompt, “absolutely CAPTIVATED by the thought of them using the strap from behind, until Talanah can’t hold her arms up anymore and her shoulders are flush against the mattress, the first time she tells Aloy she wants to have her baby."

(this became longer and softer (heh) than I intended. not completely happy with it, but wanted to share regardless!

This. Only this. Talanah wants, broken open and made wild.

In a perfect storm of intensity, Talanah admits something daunting to Aloy.

OR

"hahaha I sure hope this doesn't awaken anything in me" —Talanah, probably

10, Aloy/Talanah

Have a not-drabble (I was going to try, but I ended up with 200 words, so), heavily-inspired by some of @foibles-fables 's own headcanons, AU ideas, and rad playlist.

Talanah vaulted over the felled tree with impressive agility, using it as a springboard to drive her shortsword deep into the dart gun of a wounded Stalker. While the machine immediately went down, kickback from the damaged component sent sparks flying in Talanah's face, and she struggled to brace herself as she landed, curling her arm protectively around her stomach as she hit the ground.

Aloy rushed to her, grabbing her shoulder and hauling her over none too gently. "Are you okay?" she demanded, eyes darting all over Talanah's frame, honing in on her stomach.

"I'm fine," Talanah hissed as she sat up, shooting Aloy a small smirk. "You think a little spark could take me out?"

"That's not–it's–" Aloy clamped her mouth shut, frowning, then suddenly surged forward and pressed her lips to Talanah's, short and sharp and just a little scared. "Don't scare me like that," she breathed against Talanah's mouth, hating the way her voice wavered.

Talanah slunk a reassuring arm around Aloy's frame, giving her a gentle squeeze. Then she placed a much softer kiss on Aloy's still-downturned lips, as if she might soothe Aloy's uncharacteristic anxieties with that alone. "I'll do my best, my Light."

talanah was clearly supposed to have a bigger part in forbidden west she got her own comic leading up to the game, she was in the offical promotional artwork that was first released! the only other character featured with aloy!!!!!! she was on every social media site, her own square in the instagram posts and was in the header for their twitter account! they made a special work that featured her and aloy specifally for their twitter banner! not a single other character was promoted for the game with aloy like talanah was! she was literally promoted as a main character! her whole storyline was following around a guy she's in love with that loves someone else and her story just ends in heartbreak? the fourth bunk at the base was never filled, she's the only non companion you can talk to the other companions about. forbidden west confirms gay elizabet and we got multiple? (at least one i can remember) scene of aloy reacting to romance. im not saying talanah was supposed to have a bigger part in the game and was possibly supposed to be aloy's love interest but thats exactly what i am saying and the dlc just proves this no i will not elaborate

Horizon fans know what’s up.

Written by @elsodex and illustrated by me!

So, this took root 1 day to write, me 100 hours to draw and you 10 seconds to read (spend a little longer plz?)

Really proud of this one! I wanted to practice action and experiment with different coloring styles and I thank root so much for being patient as I tried out different things. Root, I loved going back and forth with you over the pages at every stage. I adore how you captured both Talanah's and Aloy's voices as they casually converse while fighting an angry Thunderjaw. Hope you enjoyed the Sunhawk teasing her Thrush!!

Smooches for all of the HZD faves, 2023 edition 💋

current WIP lineart :)

[chloefraazers]

equilibrium.

in which aloy finds her east and west, her rising sun and her setting sun, in the two people who provide balance to who she is.

featuring best friends to “oh fuck i’m in love with her,” “it doesn’t have to mean anything” “… as expected” to “oh fuck i’m in love with him too,” idiots in love, yearning and mourning, a somewhat-alarming amount of smut, and bi4bi4bi.

co-created with @kittleskittle and @mythicaitt.

preview below the cut.

When she remembers it later, Aloy knows she is the one who makes the first move. 

With their holographic practice enemies defeated, the three of them round on each other. It’s Talanah’s suggestion – “Hey, why stop now?” with her familiar wicked grin that, by this point, sends lightning bolts straight through Aloy’s nerves and makes her squeeze her thighs together – and with a glance at Nil, who gives a single nod, they begin. 

It’s clear right away that the three of them will be at this a while. The victory will go to whomever has the most endurance, or is the most stubborn. 

Given the particular trio of individuals training in GAIA’s dome… Aloy estimates they’ll be at it until one of them actually drops. 

The tension that binds the three of them together is heavy, thick, leaving Aloy feeling as though they’re connected by the sticky sweet of honey. Even when they strike and leap away to space out their attacks and defence, they’re never too far apart. She can always feel Nil’s heat somewhere at her side or back, and yet she knows he won’t strike at her from there. She always has Talanah in her peripherals, even if Aloy is focused on Nil. 

And they, she sees, are dancing around each other as well, challenging reflexes and abilities even though she knows they sized each other up in the holo practice.

sharing flowers

Being stuck in Meridian, on official duties and watching her flower slowly dying ❤ (I like making myself sad)

so i'll stay half away [horizon, aloy/talanah]

For an anonymous prompt, "how long has it been since you've slept?"

Horizon series, ~2K words, rated T

In those final moments, there’s a small smile—all threaded loose, glinted by the high afternoon sunlight. She presses a bundle of arrows into your palm.

So you don’t run out again.

An empty quiver, a gift of arrows, and the heavy final moments before another parting.
