    Summary

    “I’m here.” Link offered his hand, palm upturned.
    The lines and calluses of his skin that Sheik knew so well, scars across his knuckles that Sheik had traced countless times. And the same hands that had caught him, held him, dressed his wounds.
    Sheik reached out and took it. Watched the shaking in his fingers subside as they laced with Link’s. I love you, I love you.

    Sheik wakes up from a nightmare.

    Summary

    They broke apart, and Link removed his tunic; a couple of faded lovebites remained from a few nights ago, scattered across his collarbones. His surgery scars were barely visible in the half-light, silver on his pale chest. That didn’t stop Sheik from running his hand across them as he moved in for another kiss. He’d memorised all of Link’s body, all of his scars, but he loved these ones the most because he knew that Link did, too.

    Staying at an inn somewhere outside of Hyrule, Sheik and Link try something new.

    Summary

    But it was so easy to think about him. Link allowed himself the memory of their two kisses, both brief and…while not exactly chaste, not where Link’s mind kept leading him.

    After a week of travelling with Sheik, Link finally gives in to his own needs.

    Summary

    Sheik had thought that the doom brought about by his own body had been inescapable. The royal line had required someone to continue it, and he was the last one standing. Now that he was gone, what would remain? Their records burned to ash, no evidence that he’d existed beyond a few belongings. All he’d been – or hadn’t been – would be added to the legends that parents told their children.

    Link refused to be sent back to his childhood after Ganondorf’s defeat. Five years later, during one of Link’s rare visits to Hyrule, Sheik realises what the identity he took on during the conflict truly meant to him. Link has an offer: leave Hyrule together.

    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.
