    Summary

    Listen, vehvi,” Mother hissed, her grip on Zelda’s wrist suddenly painful. Zelda didn’t know much Gerudo-- why should she, when the barbarians lived so far and visited so rarely?-- but she recognized the lit of the words. “Do not trust your father. He is a foul man. I have protected you to the best of my ability, but when I am gone, I don’t know what he’ll do--”
    The coughing returned, and with it splatters of bloody saliva down Mother’s chin and nightgown-- this time, the coughing didn't stop.

    OR

    Zelda’s life might as well have ended the same day as her mother’s. With the pieces of the Sacred Triforce long since lost, the Hylian Royal Family was all that kept Hyrule’s enemies at bay-- the throne must be filled, and quickly. But when Zelda’s father makes a terrible offer, Zelda is forced to choose: her crown, or her freedom. Fleeing from the only place she’s ever known, Zelda finds herself working in the kitchens of the fearsome Chief of the Gerudo with only Link, a strange scullery boy, for company. But as tensions grow across Hyrule, Zelda finds that perhaps things are not as simple as her father and her history books led her to believe... (based on a collection of different fairytales!)

    Summary

    After Ganondorf attempts to steal the Triforce for himself, he is grievously injured and imprisoned within Hyrule's infirmary. Princess Zelda informs him that he has been sentenced to death, but not until he is recovered enough to walk to the gallows himself. This is all the opportunity he needs to pluck at the heartstrings of Hyrule's beloved, who has taken it upon herself to help him heal.

    Unfortunately, it's a trap that might just ensnare the both of them.

    Summary

    Zelda not only disguises herself to survive, but hides beneath the very shadow of her greatest enemy. She calls herself Sheik; a male Sheikah and defector from the royal family, and vows to do whatever Ganondorf requires. Trust, however, is something to be earned. Unfortunately for them both, it also runs deep.

    Chapter one is set during the seven years in which Link is in the Sacred Realm.
    Chapter two is a bridge between 1 and 3/4
    Chapter three/four skips to endgame for the finale.

    A Voice From the Desert by

    Summary

    To bridge the divide between Hyrule and the Gerudo, Zelda launches the Letters of Unity Initiative – a correspondence program meant to foster understanding. She never expects to become captivated by an anonymous and infuriatingly clever "voice from the desert" who challenges her in ways no one else dares.

    Ganondorf joins the initiative to spite Hyrule and mock the fool who dares write to him. But instead of a dull-witted scribe, his mysterious correspondent is sharp-tongued and insightful, drawing him into an irresistible battle of wits.

    While Zelda and Ganondorf become bitter rivals, clashing in an escalating war of aggravation, neither suspects that the adversary they cannot stand is the same person whose letters they secretly cherish. But as their words draw them closer, hiding the truth becomes harder, especially when Ganondorf realizes he’s falling for two women at once: the fiery princess who refuses to yield and the stranger who knows his heart better than anyone.

    When an ancient enemy stirs in the shadows, threatening the fragile peace they’ve fought to protect, the bond they’ve forged in secret may be the only thing strong enough to save their world – if they don’t tear each other apart, first.
