Summary
“I wanted—” Link starts. Zelda’s golden head snaps up at the sound of his voice, and he almost breaks, but somehow he gets the rest out. “To thank you. For yesterday. And to say sorry.”
“Sorry?” She looks at his wounded shoulder incredulously. “Whatever for?”
For your sleepless nights, he thinks. For the way you look at the Master Sword. For the bruises on your knees when you pray for too long and I don’t know how to make you stop. For letting your father treat you the way he does. For being such a coward.

Summary
Link forced his sleep-heavy eyes away from Zelda’s face and down the length of the bed. Further piles met him; a barricade of vellum and paper standing against any possible escape.
He sighed and let his head fall back to the pillow. "Is this really necessary?"
After an injury forces Link to be laid up in bed, Zelda has to take drastic measures to ensure he stays there.

Shades of Blue by self_indulgent_authorship
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
03 Nov 2024
Tags
Summary
Link's life is haunted by shades of blue.
Specifically, Sheikah blue. The shrines are blue. The towers are blue. The bombs are blue. His old tunic is blue...A Guardian's beam is blue.
Everything he can't remember is blue, and he hates it. He hates these half remembered fears, these vague spaces left behind by a tragedy he doesn't remember. He doesn't remember any of it, except a sense of something (someone) missing.
The voices all tell him he'll remember eventually. Eventually couldn't come soon enough.
(a.k.a., a behemoth fix-it which will eventually work its way through all of canon, with the addition of revalink. because I can)

Summary
'Blood whirled, thumping through weak eyelids, light and white and red, swimming into focus, and Link coughed weakly. The face above him floated, blurry and strange, wreathed in sunshine and water droplets, fiercely set in shadowed crimson and silver. Sharp teeth and sharper eyes.'
Link wants nothing to do with Calamity Ganon until a strange creature finds him on the riverbank, and an unlikely relationship is formed. When the rest of Link's life feels like he's drowning, this Red River Ghost is a break for air.

Summary
“Princess,” Revali said as casually as possible while Link was being violently beaten in front of him and also pretending that he wasn’t on the verge of a panic attack. “Is this type of training truly necessary? Surely there are other ways that are less…brutish.”
“Well, it was my father’s idea first,” Zelda said.
Revali grimaced. Maybe there would be a way to negotiate—
“But I was the one to approve it. I do believe it can help with Link’s spatial awareness.”
Revali's head snapped to stare at Zelda, shocked by her audacity.
---
Or: Zelda decides to implement a new type of training for Link, and Revali does not approve. Like, at all.-

That unease heightened to a crescendo when Link saw the princess’s hand reach out towards the unassuming cup between them. Panic flared up inside him. Without thinking, Link’s own hand shot out, snatching the cup away from her.
Whilst dining with the Sheikah, Link drinks a poison intended for Zelda, who can only watch as her appointed knight is burned from the inside out.

Summary
Harry had died. He'd gone to his death like the prophecy demanded, and he'd chosen to go on. Maybe he would meet his parents? See Sirius again?
Or he would wake up in a new world next to a gorgeous, feral twink.
At least the prophecy isn't about him, this time!

The "Let Link Sleep" Club by RheaDanai

Summary
Being pressed against his chest is as thrilling as it is worrisome. He’s put on a thin shirt (when she first woke up, he was bare-chested) through which his warmth seeps so wonderfully against the exposed skin of her back. What’s worrisome is that his chest is moving rapidly, heavily. He seems to be fighting for breath. At first she thought it was the adrenaline. Surely the fight with Ganondorf was fast-paced and arduous. It’s been long enough, though, that he ought to have caught his breath by now.
She turns her head slightly so he can see part of her face. At this angle, Zelda can only glimpse the very tip of his ear. He’s wearing amber earrings, not the blue hoops she’s used to seeing.
“Are you alright?” she murmurs.

Summary
Two long years have passed since the Calamity was defeated, and much of the kingdom has been restored. Hope buds in Hyrule again, but Link’s heart is not at peace. Duty and honour consumed his very existence and now Link is haunted by regret, pining for the Zora prince he loves and wondering what might have been.
Link stayed away from the Domain for so long, Sidon probably never thought about him at all. His desire for love and acceptance force Link to make a fateful bargain, despite the warning in his heart.
Will the Goddess grant him one last prayer or is he destined to forever be alone?
