My internet was out for a few days so I finally started Horizon Forbidden West... Nice to see my girl Vanasha again, if only briefly.

[Image Description: A digital portrait painting of Vanasha as seen in Horizon Forbidden West. She is shown at a 3/4 angle, her face warmly lit, and she smiles broadly at the viewer. She wears her metal headpiece but no hood, her hair tied up in a short ponytail. /end ID]

I just wanted to do a little comparison on some details of HFW's version of Vanasaha and Uthid, because I noticed right away that the circuit pattern was missing on her outfit, and I sort of thought his badges also looked different. But they don't, it's just that the silver contrasts way more in the HZD version. Beside some light differences of coloring and texture, it's basically the same. But I still miss that circuit pattern. It looked rad.

Post #2 of my favourite Horizon fics. They are once again in order from shortest to longest. If you're in the Niloy fandom and haven't played Forbidden West and have somehow managed to not spoil the relevant part of it for yourself, stop reading now. I will still list spoilers below but it's literally impossible to write the descriptions without including some spoilers so you've been warned. I will also differentiate between Nil spoilers and general Forbidden West spoilers, in case you're like me and haven't finished the damn game yet.

Niloy fics I love:

Blood by quicksparrows - 1100 words / Mature - three short scenes featuring very Nil style flirting

An Old Carja Tradition by mythicait - 2200 words / Teen & Up - Vanasha and Nil in cahoots to get Aloy to kiss him

Thrill of the Hunt by myworldisbiworld - 2300 words / Explicit - Nil is a tease and I'm here for it

Peach Full of Poison by Her_Madjesty - 3900 words / Mature - Nil teaches Aloy about kissing via peaches

Mount Up by @missameliasmithers - 4600 words / Explicit / HFW Nil spoilers - smut that uses the "back to slay your demons already, Nora?" line as a jumping off point

I Alone by @kittleskittle - 4700 words / Explicit / HFW Nil spoilers - what if they banged before she won the race?

A Quiet Place by @radiant-avad - 5700 words / 2 chapters / Explicit - smut where killing bandits is foreplay

Five Wounds by TruantPony - 7800 words / 5 chapters / Teen & Up - Nil leans into his gentleman side to show Aloy different kinds of kisses

people like us by @tciddaemina - 16K words / Mature - one of the many great fics providing a little more "context" to the bandit camp storyline in HZD

Wicked Games by Her_Madjesty - 40K words / 6 chapters / Explicit - sex pollen but also slow burn, Nil in chapter 4 is going to be seared into my brain for a looooong time

Flame and Shadow by @poppypopp - 63K words / 24 chapters / Explicit / Forbidden West spoilers but also canon divergence so it's not too bad - Nil joins the GAIA gang, Beta and Zo also get great characterization

Honourable Mention: Stormbirds and Stalkers: A Tale of Aloy and Nil by @pikapeppa - 100K words / 25 chapters / Explicit - are you really a Niloy fan if you haven't read the #1 Niloy fic on ao3? Almost too sweet for me because apparently I like my murderous psychopath to also be an asshole, but I love Nil's characterization as neurodivergent

As before, I used the tumblr @'s that I could find, please let me know if I missed anyone! And give me your Niloy recs, because I cannot get enough.

Part 1: Ereloy recommendations

#horizon #horizon zero dawn #horizon forbidden west #hzd #hfw #niloy #aloy #nil #ao3 #fanfic #today's lesson is I'm into ereloy for the romance and niloy for the smutty smut smut #seriously the difference in rating for these two lists is hilarious to me #nil and vanasha hanging out is dangerous for everyone around them and I want more fics where they're friends #someone please tell me Her_Madjesty is on tumblr because godDAMN I need them to know what that scene with nil leaning on the tree did to me #words i said

3 Nasadi and Vanasha

Itamen's return to Meridian was a triumphant success for Sun King Avad. Once he was safely ensconced in the palace and away from those who might do him harm, an announcement went out to the Carja noble houses. A great royal procession, followed by a spectacular banquet, was planned in celebration of the young prince's return. Nobles came from all over the Sundom to greet the boy.

Itamen handled the spectacle well for one so young, Vanasha thought with a tinge of pride. He was a sweet and earnest boy, protected enough by his mother to keep him from turning under the scorching gaze of the Shadow Carja.

Nasadi, as always, was a picture of serenity, but Vanasha knew otherwise. The time spent as her handmaiden had allowed the spy to form an intimate familiarity with the dowager queen. It was after a full day of greeting nobles, Itamen finally tucked into bed, that Vanasha visited Nasadi in the queen's chambers. With Avad still unmarried, Nasadi was able to reoccupy her former suite in the palace.

The guards let her in without comment. She found the queen on her balcony staring out into the city night, so vibrant and alive despite the late hour. Nasadi looked wan in contrast.

“I hate seeing you like this,” Vanasha remarked as she approached, careful not to startle the queen.

Nasadi didn't even twitch. She just tightened her grip on the balustrade. “Like what?”

“Lifeless. Meek. Bored. I don't know—whatever this is,” Vanasha replied, gesturing at the queen. “Back in Sunfall, you had such fire in your eyes at the prospect of escape. You had some steel in your spine.”

Nasadi seemed to consider Vanasha's words, in her pensive, quiet way. “In Sunfall, my role was clear. I was a figurehead, mother to the King in Shadow. But here, in Meridian? Who am I? What role do I play? I fear that to Avad, I am but a reminder of his father.”

“You could always marry him, solidify Itamen's status as next in line for the throne,” Vanasha joked, and was almost alarmed when Nasadi seemed to dwell on the idea.

“I have played the role of good Carja wife and mother for my whole life. Look where that landed me—married to a madman. Stolen from my home, barely more than a political prisoner. Forced to protect my only child from cruel tyrants and sycophants. I played my role, dutifully. But what am I now? Am I a prisoner here as well, Vanasha?”

“Avad wouldn't treat you like that, Nasadi.”

Nasadi gave her a flat look, and Vanasha—surprising even herself—blushed.

“Well,” Vanasha conceded, “I don't think he would. I would be disappointed if he did, to be frank. But how about this. Once you and Itamen feel settled here, how about you and I travel together? Do a tour of the Sundom together. You could meet some nice guys, see where things go.”

Nasadi hid a smile behind her hand. “Maybe, once Itamen's place in the palace is secured. I'd like that.” She paused. “We'll see about the, ahem, ‘guys.’”

“Well that's that, then!” Vanasha exclaimed. “Just you and me, taking on the Sundom. There is a delightful little eatery in Brightmarket that has the most delectable sliced boar...”

As she gushed to Nasadi about her favorite spots in the Sundom, she was happy to see the woman relax and start to open up, that sparkle Vanasha was so familiar with return to her eyes. This was the queen that Vanasha knew. She couldn't wait to see how Nasadi would come into her own, with a little freedom.
