Summary
Set primarily three years after the defeat of Calamity Ganon, Link, Zelda, and the new generation of Champions must fight a strange enemy, all while trying to keep themselves in one piece and working with a major disadvantage.
(This work does mostly ignore Tears of The Kingdom, and can kinda be viewed as taking place between the two games, but in no way is that a required view to have.)

Summary
It's been a few years since Link and Midna saved Hyrule from Ganondorf and Zant. Link is now a highly regarded nobleman thanks to his heroic actions on behalf of the kingdom, and many Hylians can't help but obsess over Link's personal life, which has been riddled with failed relationships. He still has the Shadow Crystal to attain his canine abilities at will, but when the Shadow Crystal shatters and he is stuck in his wolf form, what is he to do?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How powerful a love like that must be; to easily transcend the barrier between life and death...How lost and unsure she must feel…of her worth or sense of being, perhaps? Maybe I would feel the same way had I lost Ilia to death or someone else precious to me? The only difference is...I have never been in love..."

Summary
It’s been nearly two years since the Calamity was sealed. Hyrule is slowly healing, but much needed to be done in terms of diplomacy and rebuilding. But when a mysterious group of strangers appear out of nowhere inflicted with Malice burns, Link is thrust into a quest once more as dark times loom over Hyrule. It seems, though, the Demon King has more tricks up his sleeve this time…
Will the group muster the willpower needed to overcome the evils of this world? Or will Ganondorf finally have his way over the kingdom of Hyrule?
(Set Post-Calamity and right after Madarame’s Palace; mainly based on BotW but will have minor TotK references)
Warning changed to “Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings” as precautionary measure; however, the contents of this fic are probably tamer than expected. Additional disclaimers about sensitive content will be detailed in their respective chapters.
<9/18/25 Update> Next chapter update postponed indefinitely due to personal circumstances. I'm not sure when things will clear up, but one thing I can assure you is that I am not dropping this fic. I'm really sorry about causing any sort of distress because of this.

Summary
Blood. So much blood.
She wasn’t going to make it. Secre knew it all too well. The twins she was carrying had probably passed on already, given how much she was bleeding from her womb. Secre squeezed the folds of her dress, sobbing at the loss of her dear friend.
But that was when she felt a small kick.
Secre stared at the blood-soaked dress. One of them had survived. And her eyes— the mother still stayed strong, desperate to keep her child alive. They could do this. With a little bit of Sealing Magic, her wounds could be restricted long enough to get her to a proper doctor.
“Sealing Magic: Closed Sorrow—!”
She felt it before it happened. A flux in Forbidden Magic, causing her magic to go out of control. Secre tried canceling the spell, but it was too late.
Tetia had disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~
A lone woman stumbled into the Great Deku Tree’s grove, exhausted and heavily wounded. With foreign words, she pleaded the sentient tree to adopt her remaining child…
(Basically, post-OoT/MM Link is transported into the Clover Kingdom, and Dorf-related chaos ensues)
