    Summary

    ...Although, she’d pulled Link from death's jaws, and then spent the next hundred years befriending a man who claimed his age was countless.

    She thinks, I still know not what death really is. She will wear this sailcloth, because there is no other choice—but as she stares at herself in the mirror, she wonders if she looks more like her mother, or more like Hylia.

    * * *

    The path to recovery is arduous. Hyrule is a ruin in perfect harmony to the tumult within Zelda, and though the Calamity is no more, the Triforce yearns to be whole.

    The hearts of its two surviving vassals crack under the pressure of a force they never knew, aching for a man they'd never met.

    Summary

    “I would very much enjoy a chance to… study you, as it were.”

    He stared at her silently.

    Zelda pressed on, mind already churning with ideas. “I’ve heard so many stories about you, and you sound… well, truly exemplary. It would be only for research purposes, I assure you! My study, that is. And you’d be quite compensated for it.”

    His brow rose higher.

    “It may take a significant amount of time,” she added quickly. “We can agree upon a rate that you deem satisfactory. There may also be some, um, disrobing, required, but I assure you I am quite a professional and will handle it with the utmost respect!”

    Ganondorf snorted. “You want to pay me to take my clothes off and let you handle me?”

    The sound that escaped her resembled a drunken keese. “That is not what I said at all!”

    “That’s exactly what you said.”

    Summary

    The Queen of Hyrule liked to be ruined.

    Ganondorf liked to ruin her.

    But first he watched, tied up and naked in her bedroom, while his own phantom had its way with her.

    This little game might just be enough to break the mind of the mighty Gerudo King.

    Summary

    “I do not make this offer lightly, Princess. I am not fond of sharing, and even less with an enemy of old. But you have shown great valor and love your country, and I believe our union may bring forth an age of peace and prosperity for all the people once subjugated by Hyrule's fist. We will be king and queen, Power and Wisdom, together as one. If you will have it."

    A heartbeat away. An offering of peace. An offering to save her people, to be the shield that they need. To fulfill the very duty she was brought into this world for. All she has to do is say yes.

    Zelda survives her attempt to save Midna's life and finds herself with no choice but to ally with Hyrule's greatest and most dangerous enemy. Ganondorf claims he has no desire to rule over ashes but he remains as enigmatic as ever, haunted by the ghost of a past he refuses to speak of. Hyrule needs a strong hand to guide it, to judge the sins it was built on and teach it to repent, and its true king has arrived, with his gentle queen by his side. Together, the unlikely pair must right the wrongs that came before them and try to create a better future.

    And maybe along the way, they can find healing in each other.
