    Summary

    Impa is given a secret assignment from the King just before she is to escort Zelda and Link back to Kakariko Village for the festival of Sahasra’s Pass: make sure their arrangement is not creating “unnecessary distractions.” It seems silly for the King to be so concerned about such an implausible matter. Anyone with two eyes can see they clearly despise each other.

    Impa forgets she has three.

    Summary

    What really happened five years ago was exactly what Mineru had warned Zelda about. Forbidden things cannot be undone so easily.

    So her sacrifice remains.
    But so does he.

    (Zelda never returns after the battle with the Demon King. Link is determined to bring her back, no matter what it takes or where it takes him. So when the Light Dragon starts to dive into the Depths, which have remained dark and uncharted since the Gloom faded away, he prepares to descend as well.)

    Summary

    Emma Emmerich is not a perfect victim. She is not palatable. She is not comfortable or easy. It would have been simpler if she'd died. More convenient.

    But she's didn't. Emma Emmerich lost her dignity, her job, a kidney, and the use of her legs. But she's still around.

    Now she's going to make it everyone else's problem.

    Or: The big Emma lives fic. Updates weekly.

    Summary

    His first inkling of what “getting older” really means – not in a distant, theoretical sense, but as something tangibly matter of fact; something he can feel, in everything from his bones to the tingling-numb tips of his fingers – comes more gently than he might have expected.

    Summary

    There is an even greater fiendishness, she thinks, in leaving his head atop this malformed body. It speaks not to what they have taken, but what they have allowed to remain.
