    Summary

    He’s never had any say in Sheik’s comings and goings; he’s never harbored any illusions of this alliance outlasting Ganondorf. Even so, the idea of losing his guide, his shadow—the person who stood between him and an unfathomably powerful shadow spirit—is suddenly unbearable.

    But if Link couldn’t bear the unbearable, he wouldn’t be the Hero of Time.

    Summary

    “I think…” Link tipped his head back and gazed at the moon. “I think that Sheik is you, and Zelda isn’t. I think you understand somewhere inside you that you’re happier as him, not just because he’s freer or whatever, but because he’s a man. Because you’re a man.” His words were like being made anew. Because you’re a man. There was nothing like it, this mix of elation and fear: somebody who knew him, knew Zelda, witnessing this part of him. Saying I see what you are with none of the horror that Sheik had as it forced itself to the front of his mind.

    Sheik needs to confront some things he's been trying to ignore.

    Summary

    Sheik has been on the run for two years, constantly having to hide from the people who would seek to ground him from ever flying again. He is forced to live with his wings bound to avoid suspicion, until one night he simply cannot take the pain and tears the bindings off in a secluded alleyway. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite as secluded as he'd hoped.
