Like, look at this man.

Are you telling me he does not deserve to be gently but firmly seized by the lapels of that red dressing gown and have the sorrow fucked out of him by a burly but tender Maori rugby coach?

I like to think that after Stede and Ed run off from the seafood stand without paying, but before they get to Jackie’z, they come to an empty part of the path and Ed slows down and grabs Stede by his low-cut shirt and just…pushes him against a tree (like Stede did the night before) and kisses the breath out of him and says, “We’ll go to Jackie’z and get that drink and then we’re going back to the ship, yeah?” And Stede squeaks, “Yes, yeah, OK, yes.”

Because Ed can’t stop thinking about that coconut.

OH MY GOD THIS IS HAPPENING! 💖

Artwork and a prompt from @lukelemon-art caused this. OFMD Horizone Zero Dawn AU. Below is chapter 1 of Revenge on the Horizon.

Revenge on the Horizon

**Take the Shot**

It was unseasonably warm. Ed looked up from the strider he was stripping for parts and glanced over at his mate Iz, who was hunched over a scrapper nearby. Iz was bleeding from a cut on his cheek and there was a mark on his shoulder where a laser bolt from the machine he'd brought down had been absorbed by his leather armor. He looked tired. They were two of the oldest hunters still active in their tribe. Maybe too old.

“You alright, man?” he asked. Iz looked up, yanking a handful of wires out of the metal carcass as he did.

“Fucking fine. Get the heart, we need the shards,” he muttered. Ed nodded and went back to work.

“There's a ruin nearby. Want to hit that too when we're done?” he asked. Truth was, he was bored of scavenging machines and had been for a while. He knew what answer he'd get, but he held out hope.

“No. I'm not fucking dying for your stupid fucking curiosity,” Iz muttered. He pulled another clump of wires and grimaced.

“These damn things are getting so fucking violent we break half the valuable parts bringing them down,” he said with a sigh. Iz kept his hair shorter than most Nora, but still long enough for it to droop in his eyes. He flicked it out of his field of vision with a twitch of his head. He was a gesture that Ed never failed to find attractive.

“Ed, stop staring and get that heart,” Iz ordered. Ed sighed and went back to digging through the carcass. The desired part finally pulled free and was undamaged. Strider hearts were a common enough resource, but shards were shards.

“Here you go, you little nightmare,” he said, tossing it to Iz. Iz grunted in appreciation.

“Let's go home. I'm tired and hungry. And there's a rumor that a sawtooth has been seen around here,” he said.

“Well, fuck! Let's go after that! If it's shards we need, anything off that thing will grab us a sackful,” Ed said.

“Oh by All-Mother, Ed!” Iz groaned. “My spear is broken and I'm exhausted. Your bow won't be enough to bring down something that big by yourself.”

As he spoke, a deep growl came from the trees.

“We might have to find out,” Ed whispered. The foliage rustled and rumbled.

“I didn't see any watchers or any other machines around. What the fuck is it doing here if not guarding?” Iz hissed. Ed darted past him and yanked him into a clump of red grass. It grew taller than most other grass and the swaying red tips seemed to better hide them from machines. He was hoping it hid them well enough to survive now. The treeline swayed and moved once more and the machine stepped into the clearing.

It was huge even by sawtooth standards.

It was heavy up front and lean in the back. Huge fangs sprouted from its mouth and long metal claws tipped its feet. In its chest, a canister of blaze glowed dully.

“If I can hit that blaze canister, it'll ignite and explode. If it doesn't kill it, it should give us time to run,” Ed whispered.

“Oh, fuck no. You're a good shot, but you're not like Rost or Aloy,” Iz growled. Ed grimaced at the mention of his two lost friends. Iz merely glared back.

“I can do it, Iz,” he insisted. Iz sighed.

“Well, I suppose how we die won't matter much. Take it,” he said. Ed ignited a blaze arrow and drew the string back to his cheek. He breathed out, steadied his arm, and waited. The sawtooth raised its head, scanning the area. The canister in its chest glinted.

Ed let the arrow fly.

There was a sharp crack as the arrow struck the canister. The machine roared. Iz began stumbling back, grabbing the back of Ed's leathers as he went. There was a sudden second of utter silence.

The canister exploded.

“Mother's mountain!” Iz swore as the blast knocked them both over. Ed sat up, rolling off of Iz.

The sawtooth wasn't dead!

The huge machine was staggered and severely injured, but still alive and moving. The red light of its lens fell on the two hunters.

“Run! Run, Iz, run!” Ed shouted. He sprang to his feet and hauled Iz up. Iz was still staring at the burning machine before them. Finally, Iz's brain caught up as the sawtooth let out a blood-curdling growl and charged. Iz darted to the side and took off after Ed.

Ed sprinted down the hill, long legs stretched like a strider. A glance back and he realized he had left Iz behind. Iz was a good hand and a half shorter and while he was quick in a fight, he was no runner. Ed pulled up short to run back to him. The sawtooth gained ground, practically snapping at Iz's heels.

“What the fuck are you doing? Go! Go!” Iz shouted at him. Ed fired another arrow. The sawtooth took it with a mechanical growl, but kept running. As Iz passed him at last, Ed whirled and looped an arm through Iz's, dragging him along.

“Go, Ed, go!” Iz cried. Ed could hear the sawtooth, frighteningly near, heard the servos and gears whine within.

Suddenly, Iz was jerked from under his arm with a shriek. Ed stopped short, nearly hard enough to cost him his balance. The sawtooth had swiped Iz's legs out from under him and now Iz lay dazed in the grass nearby. Ed fired a sharp-shot arrow almost without thinking. It struck the machine in the shoulder.

“Come on!” Ed screamed at it. Finally, the sawtooth turned to look at him. Iz was groaning in pain, his left leg bloody and bent at a crazy angle. Fear surged through Ed.

“I'm right here! Come at me! I'll but the next one through your lens!” Ed bellowed. The sawtooth growled and charged. Ed loosed another arrow as of bore down on him.

This is how it ends for us. Sent to the All-Mother together. My fault, of course.

He braced for the jaws to crush his chest.

The impact never came.

There was a thud as the dead sawtooth hit the ground a mere foot away from Ed's feet. As promised, the last arrow had gone through the left lens. It had been enough to kill it. Ed sagged with relief, before heading over to Iz.

Iz was crying in pain as he approached, curled on his side.

“Ed, you have to go. Go home,” Iz groaned.

“Nope. You know I can't do that. You know I'll never find anyone who can tolerate me enough to be my mate again. So can't lose you!” Ed replied. He checked the leg. It had been a glancing blow, which was the only reason it was still attached. A claw had struck him just below the knee, snapping the bone and shredding the surrounding muscle. Ed swallowed. It was unlikely Iz would survive this, but he would be damned if he wouldn't do everything he could to save him.

“Come on, let's get you moving,” he said. Iz whimpered as Ed lifted him. They had known each other since they were children, mated for nearly twenty years now. Ed had never heard that kind of sound out of Iz.

“Come on, Izzy, we can make it,” Ed cooed. Iz growled at the affectionate nickname. Ed grunted under Iz's weight, but lifted him to carry over his shoulder. Iz was small, but solid as a rock. It was a long way home.

“Ed, just… you can't carry me all the way home like this,” Iz groaned.

“Yeah? Since when have I ever let you tell me what to do?” Ed murmured. We just have to hope there are no machines, roaming bands of Carja, or bandit raiders on the way.

“Just leave me somewhere, Ed. You can come back for me,” Iz was still protesting.

“No, man, unless you want to spend the night in that ruin I mentioned, there's nowhere safe to leave you.”

One step. And another. And another. Ed began counting steps. He refused to leave Iz, but he was so heavy…

“Ed, please…” Iz murmured. His voice was growing quiet. Ed could feel the blood flowing steadily over his back. No. No. Iz will be fine. Pissed off and in bad shape, but he'd be fine!

“We are going home. Together. Fuck what you think!” Ed snapped, half at himself.

His only thoughts were to get home. He knew the direction he was going in. But he'd stopped concentrating on the specifics.

He didn't notice the unsteady ground until it was already giving way beneath his feet.

Ed registered Iz crying out and then they were falling.

He hit the ground first, Iz landing on top of him, thankfully. He had enough time to realize they'd fallen into the very ruin he'd wanted to explore before he lost consciousness.

Late to this, but wanted to help you out with the Taika material. His moves in this are ... mesmerizing. I usually lose about 10 minutes just watching it loop. (There's a non-zero chance I got this from you originally!) ✌️
