A pinnable about me, or my work, at least. I write fanfic on AO3 as Valin_Malthor. Currently all Horizon, not had anything else brainrot me in quite the same way, so far.
I'm primarily hung up on Beta as a Character, but I love the whole cast and the world they're in, or I probably would never have gotten so hooked to want to write.
Long Fics
Machine Mage Beta - A Proving - Sort of a start or a "proving" for Beta to carve her own path in the world, alongside her sister. Teen rated. Mostly fluff, mostly all my fave characters talking to one another and getting up-to-date about Zero Dawn and Nemesis. Some shipping, some fade-to-black. There are planned companion fics that should fill in the faded out bits. Those won't be rated Teen.
A Good Night - Takes place immediately after chapter 17 of A Proving. Seyka and Aloy go beyond just kissing for the first time. Explicit.
Not Long Fics
(The author tells themself valiantly. There will probably be more, they're brainrotting me.)
A Second Chance - New Game Plus, with a twist. First thing I published, while working on Machine Mage Beta. It's haunting me a little and I keep notes on it. Teen or Mature.
Greenshine Alignment - What is greenshine for anyway? A cute little soulmates type thing. General for now.
Sacred Valley Saga - The cast of Horizon put into a smutty soap opera. The Sacred Valley Condominium complex, where everyone* gets a happy ending. A fun place for me to dump any dumb, cracked ideas I have for the cast. Teen for now, pretty certainly Mature or Explicit later. *except Ted Faro
