Summary
“Your messenger that intercepted us yesterday could've been spared the errand to track us down.”
The Chief’s relaxed mood drops instantly. Aloy’s next words stick in her mouth as the sharp shift in energy turns her blood to ice.
“I sent no runners for Kotallo. Is he not with your squad?”
Her hand is already fumbling at her ear, fervently stacking hope against the dread building in her gut.
"Champion," Hekarro rises, gaze hardening. "Where is my Marshal?"
Kotallo wakes in a dangerous place, but he isn't alone. Aloy and Hekarro race to recover their boy.

Summary
Spare your pity and let me die.
Kotallo refuses to meet their eyes, utterly humiliated. Two large hands gently rest on his cheeks where the cruel device digs into his skin and tilt his face up from the ground.
"C'mere, big guy. Let's take a look at you."
He'd offer a half-hearted smirk if they could see past the metal mask still affixed tight to his face. Perhaps the word 'muzzle' is more appropriate, much as it makes him seethe: a leftover invention of eastern colonists who feared blood-drinking barbarians breaking their chains and cannibalizing innocents.
Those in the West may see him an impotent, broken man; in the East, they see a monster.
____________________
Kotallo comforts each of his squad: Alva injured in battle, Erend sick and stubborn, Zo needing support, and Aloy and Beta struggling to find connection. He swore on his life to give them whatever he has left.
And when he needs them most, his squad returns the favor. Whether he feels he deserves it or not.

Summary
Kotallo's eyes find hers. The medics attempting to hold him down are unceremoniously shoved away and his previously furrowed face alights with unbridled joy.
"Aloy!"
OR: Aloy's Marshal is loopy on Dreamwillow and very excited to see her. Kotallo may be a grumpy kitty when sober; when inebriated, he is one large golden retriever.

Summary
Krem's pretty fucking delighted with life in the Chargers. He finally feels like things are going his way.
There's just the little matter of... well. He's not a virgin, exactly, and he certainly doesn't want to talk about it with Iron Bull.But there's good alcohol, and a long night in a tavern, and, really, what's the worst that can happen?
Porn! With plot, and with a whole dollop of fluff.

Summary
Viago spares a cursory glance for the other two—dented, grimy armour, a bulky arm wrapped around a bent waist as if aching from a blow, dirty, ruffled feathers and limping limbs—and quickly returns his attention to the Demon of Vyrantium brought lower than ever before.
Rook is not with them.
“We’ll get him back,” Lucanis answers the unspoken question. His voice is an animal’s guttural snarl ripped from a broken, bloody chest.

Summary
With Arlow caught in Solas' trap, Lucanis struggles to hold out hope long enough for Spite to find her.
She screamed his name. It is the last thing he remembers. He does not remember pulling her into his arms, though he must have. He must have kissed her within an inch of her life, because there was no other way that he would have celebrated their victory. It was a victory, wasn’t it?
“Taash,” he says lowly, raising his haunted eyes to meet theirs. They have never been very good at concealing their emotions and from their grief he knows the answer to the question he asks anyway. “Where is Rook?”

Summary
“Cintella will do everything she can,” Dekka assured him. She was steadying herself again, falling in step beside Kotallo as they rounded the corner to the medic’s tent. “She fights death like a Clawstrider fighting for scrap. If there is any chance at all, she will see it through. I didn’t wake you to help Atekka, Marshal.” She stopped, nodding down the path, and Kotallo followed her direction until he spotted him.
His Chief, slumped on a bench outside the medic’s tent. He rested his head on his open palm.
Technically a follow-up to A New Flame, but could be read as a standalone.
