Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5

A/N:  This is a sort of loose continuation of ‘Farewell, unless...?’, but really all you need to know is that Aloy declines Nil’s duel and they’ve been travelling together for a While since then. Also I want to make it very clear that the endgame is a polyamorous relationship between Aloy, Avad, and Nil. If you don’t want or need that in your life you’re more than welcome to leave. For my fellow OT3 shippers, enjoy.

Too Blind To See - Epilogue

Two Months Later

“But did you see the look on the priest’s face when they shot off the arrows? They did not tell him about that part of the ceremony,” Aloy said, laughter spilling out of her. 

Nil grinned as he closed the door behind them, watching as she and Avad giggled like little kids. They’d only had one glass of champagne at the wedding, but bright joy infused them all and it gave them a giddy, drunk feeling. “Ourea didn’t seem to mind,” Nil said, recalling the romantically serene way she’d watched the fiery arrows soar through the air. 

Grinning at him, Aloy said, “Ourea is a shaman though, and always so much more lax than those stuffy priests. I thought he was going to have a heart attack!”

The priest who officiated half of Talanah and Ikrie’s wedding had indeed looked like he might pass out when he saw them handing bows to the lovely couple. Apparently he wasn’t very familiar with either of them since it surprised exactly no one else that shooting arrows lit with flame into a symbolic target was a part of their ceremony. 

“Oh but the vows,” Avad said dreamily as he walked back to their room to undress, “they were so beautiful.” 

Smiling at his fiancé, Nil teased, “Already writing your own?”

Too Blind To See - Chapter Ten

The first thing Nil was aware of when he woke up was bright, unending light. The kind of light that made him squeeze his eyes shut again.

As he let his eyes rest, he became aware of the space he was in. A faint beeping that sped up just the barest amount and the overwhelming smell of antiseptic. Despite himself, Nil shuddered. He’d never liked hospitals. Too many memories of being dragged in after his father hit him too hard and then later the cold similarity to the order in jail.

When he felt brave enough to try again, Nil opened his eyes little by little. The light didn’t blind him this time, though his vision went hazy when he saw who was with him.

Sitting in chairs pulled close enough that they brushed the side of his bed, the two people he wanted to see most in the world were fast asleep. Avad had his head propped up on one hand, mouth hanging open slightly as he slept. His other hand had hold of Nil’s own, warm and firm and the best thing Nil had felt in months. Closer to his head, Aloy was curled up in her chair, legs slung over the arm and the edge of his own blanket draped over her lap. Dark circles ringed their eyes and their clothes were rumpled, as if they’d spent more than one night sleeping in those chairs.

This time when he closed his eyes, it was against the tears that fell. After so long alone and afraid, they were here. His hand tightened on Avad’s as the last bits of his memory fell into place and he remembered Helis plunging his knife into his stomach. Brushing his fingers over his stomach, he felt only gauze and fuzziness.

He felt the hand in his shift, fingers squeezing tight. “Sahad?” The blurriness of sleep fled Avad’s voice. “Aloy, he’s awake!”

Aaaaaaand the one you’ve all been waiting for! Still got the epilogue left after this too <3

Too Blind To See - Chapter Nine

Teb was tracing idle shapes on his skin as Kadaman caught his breath, the former sprawled over his chest. Despite the somber nature of his visit, the two had been more than eager to see each other and Teb had invited him to stay at his house for the duration of their search. Which led from one thing to another until they were entangled together in Teb’s bed.

Their flirtation the weekend they met for Avad’s graduation had solidified into something undeniably real over past months. Texts and phone calls and video dates had drawn them closer as Kadaman found himself falling desperately for this man. Thankfully, Teb was an open book and he knew that he felt the same.

He was far enough gone that he had no qualms telling Teb that he had been much of the reason he was so ready to fly in.

Running his hand over Teb’s back, Kadi ducked his chin to kiss his forehead. “What are you thinking about?”

Too Blind To See - Chapter Eight

When he had first seen them, Nil thought that he must still somehow be in the throes of his latest panic attack. It was the smoke burning his lungs that reminded him that this was real and it was the looks on their faces that drove that reality home.

Instead of twisting into a nightmare of blood and death, Aloy’s beautiful, beloved face stayed locked in an expression of shock and pain. Her anguished eyes begged him to comfort her and her hands clutched at Avad, every line of her body caught in a stillness he’d never seen in her. Avad with his eyes round from the same surprise and grief he could feel radiating from them even where he stood, all too far away.

And yet not far enough. He shouldn’t be near them.
