Summary
Grief is a difficult thing.
Ten years after the passing of her father, Makoto is introduced to a cabin in Hokkaido that he left behind. She and her sister plan to sell the property to a developer and move on with their lives—Makoto just wants to see it first.
But when she meets the small town innkeeper whose magnetic charm draws her in, she realizes that winter in the North has a way of slowing things down. And that ultimately, this place and this man may have far more to offer her than she ever expected.

Summary
It begins as a sort of joke to himself.
Akira Kurusu knows exactly what kind of reputation he walks into the halls of Shujin Academy with. He’s always been keen and observant—sharp ears and sharper eyes. With the teachers making a fuss about the Student Council President, he figures he would get straight to the point. Strike some fear or something close to that into the heart of the snobby upperclassman. Then maybe she would leave him alone.
With a face full of piercings and a delinquent reputation to uphold, Akira Kurusu seeks out Shujin's Student Council President—as a joke!
Until it isn't.

Summary
Sis had warned her about the troublemaker of a transfer student earlier that week and reminded her to stay away. The school had been abuzz with the update that he’d shown up several hours late for his first day of classes alongside Ryuji Sakamoto, a known delinquent. All sorts of stories had spread about him and the trouble that he was in. But something about his eyes belies the reputation that precedes him—his gaze is sharp, intelligent, with an honest clarity that confuses her.
Makoto Niijima keeps her head down, works hard, and takes care of her responsibilities.
Enter Akira Kurusu, with his collection of piercings and devil may care attitude, who is going to set her world spinning off kilter.
Or, Joker embraces his delinquent reputation, acquires a head full of piercings, and approaches Queen before it's time.

Summary
It’s easy to vow to fix the world when you’re seventeen and you have stars in your eyes and a phone in your hand that helps you change the hearts of the corrupt. But when you’re twenty-seven and tired and the world has let you down too many times, happy endings feel like a childhood dream.
Niijima Makoto, now in graduate school following a disappointing five years in the police department, is listless and lost in a world that feels too big for her. When her path crosses once again with Amamiya Ren, she is forced to confront the past, herself, and ultimately come to realize that maybe change and happiness can come from the little things.

Summary
She is beautiful, of course, he’s always known this. But tonight, with her hair tumbling over her shoulders, her eyes lightly kohl-lined, and the flush of excitement still high on her cheeks, her loveliness is a crossbow bolt to the chest; his adoration spills out with each frantic beat of his heart.
“No, I—” want to. So bad. You have no idea. He clears his throat. “I’m not much of a dancer. And you are the Princess. So…”
Link and Zelda grow up together and learn that the weight of the world is isn't as heavy when it's carried between two people.

Beneath the Winter Snow by Bhujerban

Summary
The newly transferred, office favourite, associate director Link is holding two cups in his hands. Zelda meets his blue eyes and he gives her a small, lopsided smile.
“I thought everyone had left for the day,” she says.
He shakes his head. “Had a few things to finish up.” He offers her one of the cups. “Spicy pepper hot chocolate?”
She studies the cups in his hands. How did he know that her preferred hot drink after three o’clock was a spicy pepper hot chocolate? She glances back up at him. His expression is frustratingly bland and pleasant–she does not trust it. “No thank you.”
---
Something about the newly transferred associate director just gets under Zelda's skin. He's too kind, too helpful, and all around just too charming to be real. But when the snowstorm of the decade rolls in and leaves them snowed in together right before the holidays, she realizes that things have a way of working themselves out.

Summary
Running into someone once is a coincidence, but three times in a day is fate, right? Or it sure feels that way when fledgling Professor Zelda attends a conference at Rito Village and meets Link, a man with a disarming smile, a warm touch, and a propensity for turning up where she is.

Summary
Her eyes flit back to his. “So that’s what’s going on. Will you be my fake boyfriend for Nayru’s Eve dinner with my dad? The box of cookies is a bribe.”
Link just stares at her. He can feel the pounding of his heart in his ears. This is so stupid and ridiculous and an absolute cliché that Zelda, who he has been crazy about for ages, is now asking him to pretend to be in love with her and to care for her as if he hasn’t already been doing that since they took that Bioethics seminar together back in school.

Sometimes it takes an awkward dinner, a snowy weekend away, and some of Nayru's holiday magic for things to change. Especially when you've been in love with your best friend for years.

Summary
It's not like Zelda enjoys having her infuriating, loyal, handsome knight attendant at her side at all times. Really, it's not. Can't a girl enjoy a song by the court poet in peace?
Or, Zelda is thirsty and in denial about it.
BoTW ZeLink. Oneshot.

Summary
Zelda always spent Saturdays doing what she liked best: following an extremely regimented schedule of relaxation. Yoga. Bubble bath. Brunch. Café. Dinner. Read. Sleep. But the Goddesses seemed to have other plans when they sent a handsome blue-eyed stranger to sit at her favourite table in the café.
BoTW ZeLink. Coffee Shop AU. One shot.

Summary
She had spent years learning about the prophecy and urgency of defeating Calamity Ganon. But in all her years of prayer and study, nobody ever talked about what happens after. What happens to heroes when there are no more villains? Where does the incarnation of the Goddess go when prayers are for bountiful harvests and not for the demise of a great evil? What happens to a princess without a kingdom? Who needs an heir to a throne of nothing?
--
Post-Calamity, Zelda figures out what it means to be alive in a world that is both achingly familiar and terrifyingly foreign. Another puzzle in this new Hyrule: Link, part stranger, part beloved, still constantly, unfailingly at her side.
Post BoTW, ZeLink, One shot.

Summary
‘She glances at the park ranger again. Link, his nametag reads. His skin is tanned from the sun and a charming splattering of freckles dust his high cheekbones. A wild pretty boy, she concludes. Not one who could understand the scientific importance of the work they were doing here.’
---
When the field season started, archaeology graduate student Zelda expected the regular challenges associated with field work: clueless undergraduates, rainy weather, and long hours at the site. What she didn’t expect was to meet Link, the quiet park ranger who shows her that there can be more to life than research.
