If you like Nil, and want some really great Nil fics, here are some I recommend!

Bad Company (Nil/Aloy) by Nyxianthe is an incredible fic that involves Vampire Nil (which actually has a really cool, science-y explanation for the vampire curse that ties in with the Faro plague). Some really great characterization of both Nil and Aloy, some very hot smut, and a really awesome plot that weaves in with canon. (It's also going to be a series that later includes Vamp Fashav and Vamp Kotallo, but shh, you didn't hear that from me).

Saturated (Nil/Kotallo) by darkonyxdreams is a really great soulmate AU fic where soulmates see more and more color the closer they get to their soulmate. Except that Nil is born completely colorblind and believes he has no soulmate. Also will feature Aloy/Fashav!

A Warm Place to Rest (Nil/Fashav) by Every_Raindrop7 is a very fantastic, smutty fic that takes place during the Red Raids, wherein Nil has been tasked with protecting Fashav, and they go from hating each other to something more.

Scraped from Salt and Rust (Nil/Aloy/Drakka) by CthulhuButCute is a very smutty series that has some great characterization and manages to give you the feels along with the spice (the perfect combination, imo).

Kotallo and Nil learn how to not hate each other.

-o-

A/N: none of the relationships depicted herein are what we would consider conventional. I am an asexual, non-binary person and I firmly believe that applying modern concepts about sex, gender, and romance to the world of the Horizon series is as ridiculous as trying to argue whether, IDK, King Richard the Lionhearted identified as gay or bisexual. Except in the Horizon world compulsory heterosexuality is even less of a thing.

On purpose! I am writing this ambiguity on purpose!

Thus: sometimes the characters fucked in the past and then became best friends but don’t fall in love. Sometimes the characters tried to fuck once but were incompatible and instead sleep naked together and live in a committed but platonic relationship. Sometimes the characters fall in asexual love but are also extremely kinky at each other.
