Summary
When Nesta realizes Feyre has not included her in any of their family paintings, the sting of her exclusion is sharper than she could have ever imagined.
Desperate to relieve Feyre and her new family of the burden that she was, she did the only thing she could think of: run.
An alternate take after ACOFAS, in which Feyre not painting Nesta gets addressed, the Inner Circle gets a little bit of a reality check, and everyone kind of learns to communicate.

Summary
It takes mere minutes to grab my pack and Rhiannon’s, since we’ve left them intact, even cramming in our cloaks. Then I’m back in the hallway where Xaden waits, his own pack slung over his shoulder. It looks considerably smaller than the one he arrived with, and I don’t want to even think about what he’s left behind in order to force me out faster. – Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing
I can't be the only one who read that and thought we were getting an only one bed scene, right? We were robbed, and I'm righting that wrong for us all.
~~~~~~~~~~
An alternate take on what should have happened after Chapter 27 and the raid on Montserrat.I suppose it goes without saying, but spoilers for Fourth Wing in general and the events through the end of Chapter 27 in particular.

Summary
In nearly every way (except the most notable), the Princess of Hyrule was the Goddess incarnate. For that reason alone, it was a little ingenious for the King to offer up his daughter’s hand to whoever was able to pull the sword.
Link hadn’t meant to pull the sword. He planned to watch as his comrades pulled with all their might, perhaps even tease a few about how it was all for the better that the sword didn’t budge, because surely no Princess could ever love their ugly mugs, and then get into a good old-fashioned wrestling match with their bruised egos after one too many jokes. But it hadn’t mattered what he had in mind; Link’s plans be damned. The Goddess had already plucked him out of obscurity and set him along Her own path.

"Bridgerton, you shouldn't be looking for the diamond. You should be looking for a woman. One ready to be a viscountess, and a mother. One not caught in the flurry of her debut and end of her childhood. One with experience, a sense of responsibility–”
“You’d have me shop the shelf rather than the dancefloor? Tell me, do you have someone in mind already? A spinster cousin? Has Lady Danbury tasked you with finding a match for a wallflower she has taken under her wing? How desperate is the girl?”

Summary
“You would choose me?” he asked softly.
“Yes. Not the Hero, but you, Link. Could you choose me, too?”
He started to nod, then put his voice behind it. “Yes.”
She looked at him, and he looked back, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that something momentous was taking place. The girl with the Goddess blood and the boy with the spirit of the Hero, bound together by fate to fight a war they never wanted a part in. To fight a war that began millennia ago, to protect a world that should have been protecting them. Having no choice, but making one anyway.

Before and After by Jenseits_der_Sterne

Summary
She smells like warm safflina. No, more specifically, like warm safflina tea sweetened with courser bee honey. And maybe you’re drowning in it. Maybe you’ve drowned in it before. It’s heady and confusing and you can feel her voice vibrate through you as she speaks, hear the smile in her words, “No matter, we’ll make more memories together.”
---
An exploration into what would happen if Link and Zelda had had some form of a relationship before the Calamity, but Link remembers none of it. Confusing and possibly difficult waters for them both to navigate.

Summary
Heat seared her cheeks, the cauldron in her chest boiling over finally. “I have more important duties, to my people, than just cleaning up the castle and planting flowers. Oh, or did you mean for me to redecorate my room while there may be folk in need, off in the cold, unknown snowfield?” She crossed her arms, glaring at nothing in particular. The initial satisfaction she felt in scolding him was immediately replaced by guilt when she saw his shoulders slump. He said nothing; her fire was extinguished, leaving just her own charred chagrin. She was quiet for a moment before responding, trying to sound exasperated instead of ashamed. “What’s the problem with me going, Link? Am I not qualified to make decisions for myself?”
The knight took a single step back, bowing his head slightly. “I don’t mean to try to govern you, your majesty.”
She wanted to scream, or shove him. She wanted him to yell at her. But she felt her right mind stomping on the smoking remains of her fire. She exhaled, hoping it would expel the smoke that was curling wispy tendrils around her heart. Her emotional labors fruitless, she mounted her horse without another look at the top of his disappointed head. “I will return soon.”

Summary
A work exploring the events that took place before the calamity- detailing Link's chaotic ascendance into the royal guard, his first meetings with each of the champions, Zelda, and the people who raised him. [Complete!]
"Link tossed the sword down. It stayed upright, embedded into the dirt and mud. He wanted to tell her just how desperately he’d wanted to reject it and put it back into its pedestal. The way he ran and lied, and was still lying. King Rhoam was the one who insisted the truth be buried, but Link didn’t utter a word of protest. He may have come clean, but he had no intention of coming clean to all of Hyrule.
He felt he didn’t owe Hyrule anything.But the question remained, just how much did he owe Zelda?"

Sanctuary by hero_of_the_wild

20 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
In the wake of the Calamity, Zelda feels distinctly out of place. She can't figure out what's wrong with her-- shouldn't she be happier? Shouldn't she feel relief at saving the kingdom and fulfilling her destiny? She has the distinct feeling that she has only traded one burden for another, and must make critical decisions that she is not equipped to handle.
Link wants to earn back Zelda's trust, but can't seem to find the right approach. Does she really see him as the man she knew all those years ago? How can he overcome the strange barrier that seems to have formed between them? He bought the house for them to share, but it feels like she's still far away.
In order to process all that's happened to them, Link and Zelda will have to come together and ask the tough questions. What do they want, and how can they build that future?

Summary
Right now, her husband has his back to her (and what a lovely back it is) while he puts his elbows on the counter, scrolling down allrecipes.com on his laptop. And it’s a moment that she never might have had, if it weren’t for Stiles, Scott, Kira, Malia, and Allison, Allison, Allison. They had done everything they could to keep her sane, to get her out of Beacon Hills, to save her life.
And now she’s watching Scott McCall’s second daughter toddle from the couch to the armchair before grasping onto it and then promptly falling down in shock. And that little girl, with her short blond hair and soulful brown eyes, just like her father’s, is a miracle in herself— more miraculous than the supernatural, by every definition.

Summary
Everyone seemed to notice it except Stiles and Lydia. For the two smartest people in the group they were being glaringly stupid. But if they wanted to live in their own little world, and ignore the obvious, the rest of the pack would let them…though somehow Liam didn’t get that memo. (Title from ‘This’ by Ed Sheeran)
