    Summary

    Aloy's carried hurt like a dull bruise all her life, but only half of it is her own.

    Kotallo holds a determination that he knows is not his own, but he is selfish enough to borrow it at times.

    Both of them have a sense of hurt inside, a loneliness that only the other understands.

    Maybe that was fate's first kindness, to bring together two people who understood what it meant to feel alone.

    -

    Or - a Soulmate AU where Aloy and Kotallo can feel some of the emotions of one another, and all of the pain that comes from that.

    Summary

    There were few things in this life that made it worth living, especially when the world was trying to kill itself. A good bow, a full quiver, a sharp spear--some truly stupid enemies that would die easily never hurt, too.

    But, what truly made life worth it? Family. Friends. People to trust and depend on.

    Now, if only Aloy could just keep them together and alive, that would be great.

    Summary

    They have many names for her. Captain America's legacy. American Dream. The Red Scare. The Soldier's daisy.

    Audrey Carter has always borne the weight of her birthright, and resented her father for the trouble that came with it. Running from her inheritance was easy enough—until her father is pulled from the wreckage of his plane, still very much alive.
