Summary
Driven to the brink of madness by a life of forced isolation, scorn, and nightmares both while sleeping and awake, a young man named Link ventures alone into the misty, haunted wood that has called to him since his earliest memories. He knows not whether he seeks answers or just an end to a worthless life.
What he finds are more nightmares, an unlikely savior, and the start of destiny's inevitable road.

A Voice From the Desert by The_Twilight_Duchess

Summary
To bridge the divide between Hyrule and the Gerudo, Zelda launches the Letters of Unity Initiative – a correspondence program meant to foster understanding. She never expects to become captivated by an anonymous and infuriatingly clever "voice from the desert" who challenges her in ways no one else dares.
Ganondorf joins the initiative to spite Hyrule and mock the fool who dares write to him. But instead of a dull-witted scribe, his mysterious correspondent is sharp-tongued and insightful, drawing him into an irresistible battle of wits.
While Zelda and Ganondorf become bitter rivals, clashing in an escalating war of aggravation, neither suspects that the adversary they cannot stand is the same person whose letters they secretly cherish. But as their words draw them closer, hiding the truth becomes harder, especially when Ganondorf realizes he’s falling for two women at once: the fiery princess who refuses to yield and the stranger who knows his heart better than anyone.
When an ancient enemy stirs in the shadows, threatening the fragile peace they’ve fought to protect, the bond they’ve forged in secret may be the only thing strong enough to save their world – if they don’t tear each other apart, first.

Summary
"Why are you here?" Link asks again.
Ghirahim’s visible eye opens, all humor gone from his cold face. “Do you have trouble with your ears? Or are your powers of deductive reasoning as poor as your swordplay?”
In a desperate bid to adapt to the grueling violence on the surface, Link accepts swordplay lessons from an unexpected teacher. Neither Link nor Ghirahim intend for their late-night truces to bleed into daylight hours.

Summary
Link shouldn't allow this. Shouldn't indulge himself when he knows that Sidon is far, far from his reach. He shouldn't allow this because the avatar might only be doing this because Link wants it to, and how will he ever explain something like that to Sidon? He shouldn't be doing this because Sidon might find out somehow, because the king might already know, because this might taint their precious friendship.
He shouldn't because a taste of intimacy like this is only going to make Link want the real thing even more.
Or
Sidon's avatar starts behaving strangely, teasing Link with affectionate touches and gestures that the real Sidon would never allow; a torment so sweet, Link simultaneously wants it to end and never stop. At the same time, Sidon is plagued with strange dreams of his dearest friend. Dreams where he can't hold back desires he didn't even know he had.

Summary
After 200 years of being forced to seduce innocents to bring to his master, Cazador, Astarion was sure he'd never love again, until he met Valena. Determined to keep himself safe, he set out to make her fall in love with him, all while keeping his own emotions distant, of course. When the overly chatty sorcerer, Gale, begins to show interest the stunning, red-haired sorcerer, however, he can't help but feel a tug of jealousy that makes him wonder if his feelings have gone beyond self preservation. Can he open his heart to feelings he swore he'd never allow himself to feel again? And most importantly, is he worthy of Valena's love?
If you love Astarion's in-game romance and wish you could have even more, THIS is the story for you. It will roughly follow the events of the game, but it will dig much deeper into Astarion and Tav's minds, how and when they started catching feelings with way more focus on their romantic scenes. It's going to be a slow burn with LOTS of angst, fluff, smut, and all the warm fuzzies.

Summary
In Temenos’s Stormhail route, the synopsis for the scene “Mysterious Meddler” is described as such:
“Temenos discovers a trail of bloodstains on the premises. He follows it and comes face-to-face with an assassin. A bloody fight is averted when Crick catches up with Temenos, and the inquisitor’s debt to the knight grows ever larger.”
But what if Crick didn’t quite make it there in time?

Summary
"In light of the pontiff's death, we're assigning bodyguards to members of the clergy for their safety," the Deputy said, before Crick or Temenos could question her. "Thus, you are to stay by the Inquisitor's side. Wherever he goes, you go. Is that understood?"
...What?
(What if Crick's reassignment was to stay by Temenos' side as a bodyguard?)

Summary
His instinct tells him to join Crick in his search for the truth.
And so, Temenos arrives moments sooner.
//Or, Stormhail plays out differently. Temenos, much to his chagrin, is not ready for any of it.
(In which Temenos (is forced to) attempts to face his buried trauma. He does not cope very well)

Summary
“Crick,” Temenos says the knight’s name, hands dropped from Crick’s now healed wound as if he is burned. And perhaps, he is – scorched to ashes in the face of light most radiant. Temenos sighs, then looks up at those bright blue eyes. Round and wide and shining with light, like the stars in the middle of the night sky. “You must promise me one thing.”
Crick blinks, surprised. Tilts his head. “…Yes, of course. What is it?”
“Do not—” Temenos swallows. Needles prick at the back of his throat. If he lets go, he fears he may never see Crick again, and that simple thought terrifies him more than facing a thousand beasts ever could. After another pause – as he tries to gather himself together – Temenos closes his eyes and turns his face away. “…Wait for me tomorrow. Do not investigate on your own, no matter what.”
In which a simple decision challenges fate.
(Au where Stormhail plays out differently. Two souls, their roles mirrored, their fates intertwined.)

So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.
