    Summary

    (A work exploring an apology, a lie, and the boy connecting the two. Or, alternatively, how to get far, far more than you bargained for.)

    ‘I’m sorry. It’s my fault.’

    The thorns constrict, and Zelda holds her roses tighter.

    She resents him. She’s always resented him.

    But this time, it’s just because he’d taken the words right out of her mouth.

    Summary

    The sequel to Roots and a rewrite of TOTK.

     

    **NOTE: ON HIATUS*** I have been writing out all of the chapters for the sake of better plot planning and quality. Once they're done, the plan is to release them on a weekly basis! Thank you to everyone who has supported this! I am trucking along and can't wait to share it once complete!!!

    "Link woke to a pair of hands pressed against his chest, shaking him gently awake. He saw Zelda leaning over him: her eyes wide, and her face pale even in the stark morning light. The sheets of their bed slipped off her shoulder and onto the floor below.

    He swallowed. “...What?”

    Her breath shuddered, her long hair blowing from her face, and she said:

    “I had a dream.”

    The earth shook, the house rattling like parchment drums.

    The sky had begun to fall."

    Summary

    Zelda doesn't like a lot of things. She doesn't like her father’s rules. She doesn't like getting waterlogged in holy springs. She most definitely doesn't like her newly appointed knight. And she doesn't like to lose. So when she learns about Cucco, a game soldiers like to play in the barracks to get under each other's skin, a game in which Link is undefeated, she’s determined to come out victorious. Trouble is, Link doesn't like to lose either. What could go wrong?

    (What could go right?)

    Summary

    This is the first part of a series in the world of BOTW from 10,000 years ago. It details the first meeting between Link, a Knight of Hyrule, and Zelda, the Princess.

    It starts from Link's Exam to become a Knight and then things go wrong slightly. Each chapter alternates between Link and Zelda's POV.


    The only thing Link hadn’t accounted for in his grand scheme, was the Princess herself. And she spotted him lazing outside on her Balcony because he had pushed his luck too far this time. For a brief two seconds, although it felt longer, they had made eye contact, and she had smiled. And then ducked back into her study.

    Link froze. Her eyes were a striking, sparkling jade.

    She had smiled at him!

    Summary

    Snap shots that are an exploration of another story I've written from a different point of view (Roots). Does require context to be fully understood!

    Her hand grazes the area next to her. It’s an open invitation. If he stays where he is, she will leave him in peace from that point forth. But, if he comes forward, she will speak her mind.

    The choice is his.

    Will he take it? It's always quite the coin toss.

    There’s silence. Heavy, oppressive, unbearable silence. A second that lasts a year.

    Then, grass shifts, he walks towards her, and Zelda starts to think that foolish boy has no desire to be left in peace.

    Summary

    In a quiet moment, Zelda confesses her love to Link before it's too late. But what happens to whispered promises and breathless kisses when the world doesn't end?
    The King, the council, the nobles - none of them seem ready for a courtship between a princess and a commoner, but giving up is no option for Zelda and Link.
    Saving the world is only the beginning.

    This story takes place in the Hyrule Warriors - Age of Calamity universe. If you haven't played that game, but Breath of the Wild, it should be enough to read a summary/review to understand what's going on. Or watch the cutscenes (they are very cute!).

    Summary

    "But, Princess... do you remember me?"
    --
    From the moment Link woke in the Shrine of Resurrection, one thing was clear: he had a destiny to fulfill. Now, the Calamity has fallen, and the Hero has finally reunited with his beloved Goddess. But while Link has gone great lengths to recall his past lives and grapple with the Curse of Demise, Zelda has only just begun.

    Post-BOTW. This will be long. It would probably be helpful for you to read "When the Wind Whispers" to understand the lore I've woven behind the Champion's Ballad. Important to note a lot of this is based on the reincarnation interpretation of the LoZ timeline.

    5/16/20: Having appeased Vah Naboris and Vah Ruta, and announced Zelda's return to the crowds in Castle Town, Link and Zelda now venture to Eldin to walk in Daruk's footsteps.

    5/2023: I'm reinvigorated by TOTK and this will be worked on again!

    Summary

    “I don’t understand,” he says, and his arms are wrapped around himself now, as if he is cold. They are in Hebra, yes, but he can’t help but feel as if the cold has nothing to do with how he is beginning to shiver.
    “What do you mean you don’t understand?” Revali demands, turning back to him, his glare even deeper on his face than before. “I’ve expressed myself clearly to you many times before - it is no fault of mine that you see yourself as better than I simply because of the sword on your back. Surely you cannot blame me for cutting my losses here - I’ve wasted enough time on you as it is.”
    “I-I don’t understand,” Link repeats, because for once, he truly doesn’t know how it was that he didn’t please this individual. He thought he understood, before, but Revali has grown more and more upset, and Link simply does not understand what he has done wrong to cause this.
    He wants to fix this.
    It is the first time in his life he can ever truly remember wanting something.
    It is as his vision begins to blur (he doesn't know why) that Revali’s expression shifts.
    “Oh,” the Rito says, and suddenly, his face is no longer stuck in a glare, but in horror, and a deep, deep sadness in his eyes. “Oh, no.”

    Summary

    A re-telling of the botw/totk canon, with a large helping of trauma and Revalink and also just so much more lore and story than either of those stories gave us.

    I'll add a better description at a later date. 👍

    Summary

    Gannon died, but the monsters he summoned didn’t die with him, and a gold-manned lynel decided that he would like to rule over the Sacred Land, gathering an army of monsters and Gannon cultists to his banner. After the devastation of the Calamity and the Upheaval, the remnants of Hyrule were – despite Link’s best efforts – not able to survive this new threat, and the last embers of the Queendom of Hylia were snuffed out.

    In a timeline not yet doomed, King Rhoam decides to take the Royal family to the Temple of Time to pray to Hylia for guidance. He wasn’t expecting Her to respond, much less send a Hero.

    Link, still adjusting to a body that isn’t ruined by guardian blasts and Malice submersion, is determined that this time, Hyrule will stand.

    Summary

    Urbosa barely survived her fight with Thunderblight. It was only thanks to the Goddess Din herself, who pulled her from Naboris in the moment she was sure was to be her death, that she lived to see the light of another day. Though times were dark, she managed to lead her people—bloodied and broken—through the immediate dangers of The Great Calamity. As the sole surviving Champion, it was all she could do.

    Summary

    "Well, Wild? This is your Hyrule. Have you figured out why we're here?" Time asked.
    "Yeah." Wild swallowed thickly, forcing bile down his throat.
    "Well?" Legend raised an impatient eyebrow, and Wild turned away. How was he going to explain this? He'd told them virtually nothing of his journey. How was he supposed to convey how terrible this situation was? That the Blights had been revived.
    "Come on. We're heading towards Zora's Domain."

    A gang-meets-Wild fic with an actual plot (I think). Featuring a Wild who's a tad more secretive about his journey.

    Linked Universe belongs to Jojo, and I'm just a fan. :3

    Summary

    Champion Link, the beloved and respected leader of Hyrule Kingdom, had a problem. Technically, he had eight problems, all of which were wandering around the Lost Woods looking very out of place. Had he known that another Journey would come looking for him, he would've made preparations. Now, a ghost among the living, he had to leave the kingdom he spent so long revitalizing and travel with eight incarnations of the Hero's spirit. Luckily, he wouldn't be going alone.

    Book 2 of A Hero's Spirit. This one is Linked Universe.

    Summary

    Four has already figured it out. He’s been looking around, and Legend can see that he’s noted the walls, and the carvings, and the fact that this whole place is overrun with monsters.

    “This isn’t exactly a palace, is it, Legend?” Four says, testing out the words. “It’s a tomb. My tomb.”

    ---------

    A fresh, bright hibiscus rests daintily behind one ear as she sways in place, humming a tune Legend knows in the depths of his soul. Her name chokes in Legend's throat. He can’t move; can barely think—

    “Marin?”

    Legend whips around— It wasn’t him who said that.

    It was Warriors.

    ---------

    In which a visit to the Palace of the Four Sword sets a series of conflicts and reveals in motion.

    Summary

    The first timeline ends in an elegy.

    The second becomes a requiem.

    The third timeline carries the same refrain as the elegy and the requiem. It’s an encore of the same chorus, of the well-worn melody that sings of a reluctant hero and a princess of spies.

    Yet the verses of the third timeline are different enough to change the whole song.

    -----
    A canon-compliant fic about what happens to Link and Zelda after the time reversal at the end of OoT.

    (Written to accompany the Wisdomverse Zelda comics, though this can also be read as a standalone fic.)

    All the incarnations of the hero’s soul, waiting for this perfect moment when they were no longer star-crossed but goddess blessed. After ten millennia of longing and being denied, the sword sings in his ears as Zelda melts in his arms. His touch feeds her soul like none other ever has, and his kiss lifts her from the mire of dejection.
