Summary
A novella-length piece picking up during the conversation about their relationship at the end of Burning Shores, as Aloy confirms her feelings for Seyka and they share their first shy kiss.
Instead of saying goodbye, Seyka asks Aloy to stay one more night in a moment of reckless impulse. Aloy reluctantly agrees, and what follows is a bit of slice-of-life as they share stories of their upbringing, a few moments of stolen passion, and Aloy showing Seyka the truth about the The Legacy and the Time of Ashes, helped along by the recordings left behind by Lillian Barnett. As Aloy shows Seyka a view of the past through these windows and helps her untangle the truth from the lies, Seyka is forced to confront her people's beliefs and the damage Londra caused leveraging those lies in ways she never could have imagined. In helping Seyka, Aloy is forced once again to confront her fears of people knowing the truth about her, only this time made all the more intense by the new feelings for Seyka -- feelings that she's never felt before. At least this time she's confiding in someone a bit more compassionate than Sylens.

Summary
Aloy didn't want to talk about how she was so tired of this burden with all it boundless weight, how she was afraid of failing everyone, how she wished she could just be a sister, a friend, a lover; not a savior… She didn't want to talk about any of that, but she did want something from Seyka.
or when Aloy is crushed by the weight of duty, she asks Seyka to make her forget.

Summary
Seyka has committed the ultimate crime.
After stealing a Diviner’s Focus in an effort to save her people, Petty Officer Seyka is cast out of the Quen. Thrown into the wilds with nothing but her sword and the desperation to stay alive, she journeys east to seek shelter in the bustling settlement the locals call Meridian—away from the spears of the Tenakth and the bloodlust of the rebels.
After months of struggle, death, and grief, Seyka has reached the farthest edge of the Sundom, finally seeing the path to Meridian within her reach.
Until she meets a redheaded huntress in the woods of the Daunt… wielding a Focus.
A complete retelling of Horizon Forbidden West, set in an AU where Seyka joins Aloy at the very beginning of her adventure in Chainscrape.
