Summary
I was twenty-seven when my mother died, and twenty-nine when I held the funeral, because I was too stubborn to do it until I knew I wouldn't be the only one there. She had pretended to love hundreds of people. I was determined that at least two of us would pretend to love her back.

Summary
The memories shared in Chaldea during the Incineration will be recorded nowhere. They have been wiped from time, as easily as the tide washes away kingdoms of sand. Infinitely precious, utterly ephemeral, you, Ritsuka Fujimaru, will keep each one close to your heart. For even with all its bitterness, all its sadness, it is a story of love and hope.

Summary
What a terrible thing it was to watch your beloved children grow and take their first steps away from you, and decide that you could not let them. What else did you expect? Your love was true and no less suffocating because of it.
A small little fic I wrote while thinking about Tiamat and how she deserved better.

Summary
Danny Phantom died in a lab accident. This is fairly common knowledge, considering his attire, but Maddie didn't make the connection until she overheard him talking about it with some of the other ghosts. Then she notices how much he looks like Danny. How much he sounds like him. How similar their mannerisms are, and their habits, and their sense of humor.
Unfortunately, she still manages to come to some slightly wrong conclusions.

Summary
“How do you feel?” the Zora pressed after a very long moment, rocking forward just a little, eyes wide with worry. Her hands and arms were painted in soul paint of varying shades and colors, all plainly visible in her loose outfit. There was one particular streak of grass green on one of her palms, one that felt somehow intimately familiar.
Link blinked at her, and discovered that his mouth didn’t want to speak the way hers did. His hands moved to do it instead, as if on instinct. I feel tired. What happened? Where are we?
“We’re in the Shrine of Resurrection,” the Gerudo interrupted, sweeping in beside the Zora and setting a firm hand on her arm. Her eyes were narrow and uncompromising, though still, Link thought, warm. There was a child-sized smear of bright sunshine yellow soul paint on her cheek, and just a few scattered over her hands. “It’s no wonder you feel tired, you’ve been through quite an ordeal. But it’s time to get back to work.”
Link blinked at her, blankly bemused.
Who are you? he asked, in signs he seemed to recall only as he used them.

It turns out that the death of the Calamity doesn't prevent more things from falling apart.
A year after the fall of Calamity Ganon, eighteen year old Link goes back in time to before the end of the world, before the fall of Hyrule, before he ever even drew his sword, and starts to fix things before they can go wrong.

Summary
What really happened five years ago was exactly what Mineru had warned Zelda about. Forbidden things cannot be undone so easily.
So her sacrifice remains.
But so does he.(Zelda never returns after the battle with the Demon King. Link is determined to bring her back, no matter what it takes or where it takes him. So when the Light Dragon starts to dive into the Depths, which have remained dark and uncharted since the Gloom faded away, he prepares to descend as well.)

How the Questing Beast Chased, and Caught, Her Own Tail by pseudoactual_mahou

Summary
For the Incubators, a diagnosis of "mental illness" is as simple as having a personal interest outside producing negentropy – for example, in wordplay. Kyubey, the assigned Incubator for Mitakihara City's magical girls in their fight against wraiths, is diagnosed with an unnecessary emotion after making an unprompted joke, and scheduled for execution and replacement. It accepts gracefully, knowing its death serves the purpose of fighting entropy... right up until it can't.
In for a penny, in for breaking and rewriting your identity, as they say.

Summary
“I’ve covered every inch of the Underworld by now,” Zagreus says. “So, if there’s someone you’re looking for, I can probably help.”
Cody smiles at him again—an awful, pained smile that cuts like the wings of a soul catcher’s butterflies—and says, “Thanks. But if I haven’t found him yet, it’s because he doesn’t want to be found.”
Or: Zagreus finds another lost soul in Elysium, and he does what he does best.

Summary
He is ancient, too, he knows. It’s all anyone says about him anymore. No one he remembers meeting on his initial quest recognizes him except for Impa, Purah, and the Sages. Maybe it’s because his arm is not his arm and all that was ever important about him was that there was a special sword in his hand, because he isn’t following three steps behind the Princess whenever she shows her face in public, because he’s nothing but a legend to the kingdom he died to protect a hundred and some years ago, fading away with the passage of time.
OR
Link's arm is not his arm. Zelda is not his Zelda. He struggles to reconcile when both are returned to normal.
OR OR
A during and post-totk fic where I explore Link's disconnect from Rauru's arm, and his emotional state after learning the truth about the Light Dragon.

Summary
To become an immortal dragon is to lose oneself.
The Demon King has been defeated, but not without a terrible cost.
After they fall from the sky, Link discovers that Zelda is no longer the princess he once knew. Zelda chose to sacrifice her heart and mind just to give him a fighting chance, and now, in the aftermath of the battle, he must come to terms with what that decision truly means.
For some sacrifices are not so easily taken back.
