#aloy x vala

[missmrah]

Thank you @valaloy for this absolutely lovely request ❤️ 

I deeply wish we’d gotten more of Vala in Zero Dawn, but at least fandom will never let her die ✨

Aloy: What are we doing on the ground?

Vala: You hit your head and got knocked out, I laid down next to you so everyone thinks we were relaxing

“Okay.” she said. When he gave her a questioning look she rolled her eyes and said, “It's a deal, we give it our all.”

Understanding dawned on him and he smiled. He gripped her arm firmly, sealing their agreement. “But just so you know, I came here to win,” he said with a confident smirk.

Aloy gave him a feral grin. “So did I.”

---

Instead of being made an outcast, Aloy is taken in as The Child of the Mountain. She's still as lonely as ever even if she is revered by the Nora. But she is determined to lead a different life than the one she's been given. And she's well on her way until a decision is made that will throw her plan in disarray.

Now she's got to not only win the Proving, she'll have to beat the winner of the challenge to keep her freedom.

This is my companion piece for my first ever @horizonbigbang !

I had a lot of fun making this one ✨

Little Miracle

This is from my old fic blog but I am posting it here because I think it's still a cute headcannon between Aloy and Varl.

Fandom: Horizon: Zero Dawn

Pairings: Aloy x Varl

Warnings: Mentions of pregnancy

Word count: 590 words

It had been a few years since Aloy had defeated the Eclipse and HADES

Life had moved on and everything was going well for everyone.

Aloy had caught the eyes of many, such as Avad, Nil, Erend, Teb, Talanah, just to name a few.

 But Aloy found comfort and companionship with Varl, he had managed to capture her heart with his soft eyes and sweet smiles.

Varl had been by her side, through her darkest times, even when Aloy blamed herself for Vala's death, claiming she could've done more to save her and the others. 

He accepted her, all of her because even with her flaws Aloy was still perfect to him.

Years had gone and they had only gotten closer, wanted to start a family, to feel like they deserved a chance at a normal life and children.

The first few times of trying to get pregnant were unsuccessful but Varl encouraged Aloy, they wouldn't give up.

It wasn't until weeks later, Varl had gone on a hunting trip with a few other Nora Brave that Aloy started feeling sick and nauseous, throwing up, being fatigued a lot, her breasts swelling and feeling more tender than before. Aloy had a feeling but still wanted to make sure and saught for a healer.

Tears welled up in her eyes when it was confirmed later that she was, in fact, pregnant with her first child.

Aloy's excitement then turned to nervousness with how to tell Varl when he came back. How do I tell him? Aloy thought to herself while sitting on their shared bed.

A day had passed and Varl would return home along with the other Nora Brave, the second he walked through the door he was tackled into a bear hug by Aloy.

Varl noticed her fidgeting and nervousness and thought something was wrong, but really Aloy was thinking of a way to bring up her pregnancy. 

"Aloy, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Varl had to ask, he was worried about Aloy.

Aloy shook her head and smiled brightly at her love, excited that he will become a father, that they'd both be parents in 9 months.

"No, Varl, nothing's wrong. Only that a miracle happened while you were gone and I've been waiting to tell you the good news."

Varl stood there confused, wondering what "miracle" could've happened while he was hunting.

Aloy grasped his hand and led him into one of the spare rooms they had in the house, and in the room were carvings of what looked to be children's toys.

Varl was still confused for a second before his mind suddenly clicked. With a shout he wrapped his arms around Aloy, spinning her around in his arms while laughing with joy. 

When Aloy's feet touched the ground again Varl had smothered her face with kisses, pure happiness shone within them as they did in her's.

Varl's hands gently touched Aloy's stomach, already able to see her grow round with their child, their child that they will both cherish, spoil and love with all their heart and souls. 

The two lovers then set to work on making the baby's room, though Varl didn't let Aloy do much of the heavy lifting, saying that too much stress and strain wasn't good for her and the baby.

Life as they knew it was about to open a new chapter for them, gifting them a child and making them parents. It was like GAIA was watching them and saw their struggles before giving them their little miracle.

~

Notes:

Total Sims: 110 (Added Kadaman)

Time: 51 Hours

Households: 20

Households: I was gonna mod the game so I could have more then 8 sims in a household till I realized that required me remembering to not go into CAS so I had to reorganize because I cannot be trusted. The house holds are a bit lop sided because I wanted their to be a theme to their togetherness.

Charcaters Selected: I bascially choose charcaters I liked, were iconic, or I thought would be interesting to interact. I started with a list of 133 then slimmed it down to like 80... then slowly increased to 109. To be fair the 7 were very easy to do cause I could do what I want (AI’s, Parents, etc.). The outfits were the hardest part and after like sim 60ish I gave up doing unqiue outfits for all events so I focused on their main outfit and pruning the random clothing the game gave them. I wanted to fill a world with Horizon sims so that's why I went Ham.

Family Connection: Every family connection is correct except Rost and Aloy but I might use MCCC to correct that. Thats’ why I had to make Jiran, Fashav's Mother, Nakoa's Father because you can’t just make cousins/aunts/etc. in CAS. I made Miriam because I planned to murder her along with others to make a more interesting family tree instead of the blank image till I felt bad. I also made Stemmur Morlund’s dad..... cause I could (I recogize its not canon but he seems like a adopted dad kinda thing).

Relationships: I like rare ships and Beta x Regalla has been on my mind since I saw a post hinting at that. The planned stuff is also not fully set in stone though because I do love almost every ship, just some are more my favs (The gay ships mostly).

Future: I gonna start posting all the Sims and the CC I used in a few days along with the houses I have been making (so far I have made 10 out of 16 houses over 98ish hours).

[foibles-fables]

I choose P, T, and X

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

"Vala lives and Aloy uses her boon for winning the Proving to have her be named as a Seeker too, and they embark on the first few legs of HZD together" is one of my personal favorites.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

[chant of "comphet Talanah, comphet Talanah" echoes from the depths]

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Answered here!

by SoupAndChaos

“I am Sir Erend of the Vanguard. I know how people suffered under Jiran’s rule; he devastated the Oseram clans just as much as anywhere else. Avad overthrew him because he knew that it was wrong – a king is supposed to serve his people, not terrorise them. I’m here to find out what the villages need so that the king can give, not take.” Aloy watched his face, searching for any hint of a lie. Whoever he may be, the knight believed he was telling the truth. His words held the ring of honesty, no falsehoods lurking behind pretty eyes. ___ Inspired by @godliath who did the most beautiful Barbarian!Aloy x Knight!Erend art piece

Future Remembrances Pt. 2

Aloy x Vala | Horizon: Zero Dawn | 736 words | AO3 | Part 1

The cabin was dustier than when she had left for the proving. Cobwebs filled the corners of the ceiling and connected any piece of furniture they could touch.

It was a bittersweet feeling for Aloy. This was her home, but without Rost... it didn’t feel like it. The sun didn’t shine nearly as much, the wind blew too hard, and the snow was colder to the touch.

Her hesitation to go in must have tipped off Vala to her feelings. She reached out to place her hand on Aloy’s shoulder. Warmth flooded the redhead’s body from that single touch, her nerves buzzing with excitement.

“If you want, I can leave,” Vala offered.

“No,” Aloy whispered, shaking her head. “It’s nice to have someone here, even if it isn’t Rost. It doesn’t feel as empty.”

Everywhere she looked brought a flood of memories. Rost may not have been her father, or even called himself something like that, but he took care of her when no one else would or was expected to. An outcast looking out for another outcast.

She felt tears prick at her eyes and she took a deep breath.

“Vala-”

Her train of thought was suddenly stopped by lips against hers. It was quick, but she knew it had happened and it was enough to take her mind off of her grief.

“I’m sorry,” Vala whispered, her hand moving to grasp Aloy’s. “You just look like you need someone. I know you’ve been alone, and coming back to an empty home isn’t what you needed.”

Aloy didn’t know how to respond. Her heart was racing as if she was fighting a Thunderjaw, but she couldn’t bring herself to move without being guided by Vala.

“Would it be okay,” Vala continued, “If you came back to me?”

The redhood realized she had been holding her breath ever since the kiss and released the breath she had held in before nodding.

“I… I would like that.”

Vala gripped Aloy’s hand tighter before leaning in to kiss her once again. This time she lingered, letting Aloy savor the feeling of being close to another human. The seeker lifted her free hand up to Vala’s hair, carefully twisting locks around her fingers as her eyes slid shut and her head tilted to find a better angle.

Just as she was getting comfortable with the closeness, however, Vala broke their kiss and pressed their foreheads together.

“Aloy, do you feel comfortable… here?” She asked softly.

“Here?” She repeated, too stunned to realize just what Vala was asking. “Of course.”

Vala smiled and kissed Aloy once more. “We’ll stay here, then.”

Suddenly Vala took the redhead’s face into her hands and pulled her into another kiss, though this one involved open mouths, bitten lips, and touching tongues. Aloy did her best to hold her own, as she was a great warrior, but she could do nothing as her knees grew weak and she struggled to cling to Vala.

Her body was growing too warm, focused in her cheeks, chest, and crotch. “V-Vala,” she whispered between kisses.

“It’s okay, Aloy, I’ve got you.”

She had her.

She released her face and gingerly led her to the bed. “I’m glad you returned,” she murmured into the redhead’s ear as she pushed her onto the blankets.

Aloy shut her eyes as she felt her stomach bared to the cold air of the mountains.

“Cold?” Vala asked, her smirk audible.

“I’m going to take you to Meridian one day and then you’ll understand,” Aloy replied before letting out a small squeak of surprise as Vala kissed her stomach.

Vala sighed as she rolled off of Aloy, both of them fully nude but no longer shivering because of the cold air.

“Vala… I’m going to call you a seeker,” Aloy said with a small grin. “You know how to find things… very well.”

Vala laughed and turned to face Aloy. “Imagine the High Matriarchs hearing you say that.”

Aloy’s grin grew and she wrapped her arms around Vala. “Promise me you’ll be here the next time I come back?”

“I promise,” Vala whispered, closing her eyes.

Aloy shut hers as well, her body exhausted and her mind ready to take a break.

Hours later Aloy awoke to the pop of her campfire. She looked around slowly in confusion before feeling tears flow down her cheeks.

She couldn’t go back to Mother’s Heart.

Vala wasn’t there.

Future Remembrances Pt. 1

Horizon: Zero Dawn | Aloy x Vala | Fluff | 799 words | AO3

The wind was cool and gentle against her skin, almost celebrated after the rough, dry air of the Carja deserts. It had been weeks since Aloy had been near Mother’s Embrace, and she welcomed the sight of lush greenery and the creeks that wrinkled the land.

She had been alone, an outsider once more among the Carja and Oseram that sprinkled the mostly-barren desert outside of Meridian, but she had a mission to carry out for her people. Her people… it still felt wrong to say, and it would burn her tongue for a while longer.

Still, Aloy had more important things on her mind.

As she went through the repetitious task of overriding a strider, her mind went back to the Proving.

The night before, Vala had treated her with the kind of respect she had only seen given to other members of the Nora. Her words had been laced with something akin to excitement during their banter after Aloy had confronted Bast for being, as Vala had put it, a “lard.” When trying to rest on the comfortable bed provided for her, Aloy found it to be too soft, noisy, too distracting. It made her uncomfortable enough to have snapped at Vala, which she quickly found herself to regret. She had wanted to apologize, but the other girl had turned away before she could.

Everything seemed fine the next day however, based on how Vala had slapped her on the back as they walked with the rest of the Proving hopefuls towards the grounds.

“Excited?” She had asked.

“Trying to be more focused than anything,” Aloy admitted. It had been difficult to pay attention to anything but her new acquaintance. It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen another girl before. In fact, this wasn’t the first time she had met Vala. But something felt different. She felt a little sick.

“Oh, so you’re actually nervous?” Vala asked with a grin.

Aloy could tell that she was just teasing her, and she felt her cheeks grow warm. “No, but you should be,” she replied with the same annoying smile.

The two had been almost tied at the end of the Proving, but Aloy had won.

She shook her head before the rest of the memories of that day could hit. She wasn’t going to think about that right then.

Aloy rode the remaining distance to Mother’s Heart to allow herself enough energy to barter with the merchants and endure the eventual socialization that was to happen at the large village.

The Nora seemed startled by the sight of a strider with a rider, enough that before she even reached the gates Aloy opted to leave the machine behind. No doubt if she had ridden up on it, the former war chief would have insulted her even more than he used to.

She passed through the gates on foot and made her way towards the traveling merchant, glad that she caught him inside the gates. She pulled her satchel around, letting it rest against her chest as she dug through it for the odds and ends she had pulled off of machines.

As she collected her well-earned metal shards from the merchant, she heard foot steps closing in behind her.

“Aloy!”

Vala’s arms wrapped tightly around her stomach, surprising the redhead to the point that she almost dropped her shards.

“V-Vala! What are you doing?” She asked, pulling herself free so she could fix her satchel back onto her back.

“I heard a few whispers around the village a few minutes ago about a certain outcast-turned-seeker returning. Obviously I had to come see you and thank you for helping my mother and brother get back home,” the Nora Brave explained.

“It wasn’t a problem,” Aloy said, smiling as she watched Vala’s expression soften.

The two stood in silence for a few seconds as they got lost in thought. Aloy then realized how heavy her weapons and other items had become. She felt sluggish, her lack of sleep finally taking over.

“Do you want to go the lodge?” Vala asked, noticing her friend’s sudden lack of energy.

“Too loud.” Aloy shook her head. “I think I’ll stay back in the cabin.”

“Cabin?”

“Rost’s,” she said, her voice softer than before. She hadn’t been since the Proving, knowing that it would be hard, but it was one of the reasons she had returned to the Embrace.

“I’ll come with you,” Vala said, “I know you’re really great at keeping yourself safe, but you don’t look very well right now.”

Aloy glanced away, considering if she wanted Vala to see her at Rost’s. She wouldn’t be able to keep up her strong facade, but this was the girl who had dragged her to the High Matriarchs after the proving.

Vala wouldn’t judge her.

[captnamari]

omg so i'm totally not the only one that believes Vala and Aloy have a crush on each other right???? they are in love tbh
