    Summary

    Link flinched back from whatever look Paya gave him, but reached forward again to cup her cheeks and smooth away her tears. Zelda settled to the floor next to them, on her knees in the dirt, and ever so carefully rested a hand on Paya’s shoulder.

    “You’ve never seen me use my power like that, huh?” Zelda said, sounding vaguely self conscious. Paya looked at her, uncomprehending. “It’s a little intense, isn’t it?”

    “Allergic,” Link said nonsensically, but Zelda nodded.

    “Maybe,” she said, “what do you need, Paya? Water? A hug? Some space?”

    Paya just looked at her. The Goddess made Hylian. The Goddess incarnate. The Goddess herself, bursting out of Zelda’s skin. Moved her eyes to Her chosen knight, Her hero. The cold steel of his eyes was gone, replaced by the gentle blue she had always known from him.

    What was that?

    ⚔️👑⚔️

    With the return of Zelda to Hyrule, Paya is tasked by her grandmother to remain by her side as she travels the remains of her Queendom. Which, between a budding relationship with Link and the strange movements of the Yiga, poses a much bigger challenge than expected.

    Will she be able to keep Zelda safe? Or will Hyrule prove too dangerous for her?

    Summary

    Lunafreya heard talking. Prompto’s higher voice, Ignis’ lower register - and one girl’s voice. Lunafreya rushed forward, stumbling out into a open area. “Iris!”

    Iris' head snapped up. Her face was tearstained; her expression crumpled when she saw Lunafreya.

    Lunafreya rushed to her, reaching for her with both hands - her left hand seemed to have blood on it, so she dropped it and cupped Iris’ cheek with her right instead. “Are you alright? Are you injured anywhere?”

    “Luna, you’re hurt,” Iris said weakly.

    -

    “How many kings are left in the world, Emperor Aldercapt?” Noctis said, heading to the elevator reserved for royal use.

    “Excuse me?”

    “How many kings left in the world?” Noctis repeated.

    “I see where you’re going with this,” Aldercapt said, “and that is not at all how it works.”

    -

    When Insomnia falls, King Noctis sends his retinue from the city to find and assist Lady Lunafreya, who escaped two weeks before. Lunafreya rushes to forge the covenants as Noctis weathers a second siege on his city.

    Summary

    Cody pauses, and then admits, “I…worry, sometimes. I have nightmares, most of the clones do, about doing something on orders. Something horrible. And I would never…but Rex said he could barely fight it. It was all he could do to twist it, to make it something General Skywalker would know wasn’t right. And he said…he said it was like he wanted to do it. He knew he didn’t, but part of him…I need to know, Obi-Wan. If that feeling…if I do something, I don’t want to wonder why. I want to know.”

    The terrible intimacy of Force Suggesting your clone commander, because he's asked, and it would make him feel safe, and you love him more than you hate yourself.
