    Summary

    Her eyes flit back to his. “So that’s what’s going on. Will you be my fake boyfriend for Nayru’s Eve dinner with my dad? The box of cookies is a bribe.”

    Link just stares at her. He can feel the pounding of his heart in his ears. This is so stupid and ridiculous and an absolute cliché that Zelda, who he has been crazy about for ages, is now asking him to pretend to be in love with her and to care for her as if he hasn’t already been doing that since they took that Bioethics seminar together back in school.

    ---

    Sometimes it takes an awkward dinner, a snowy weekend away, and some of Nayru's holiday magic for things to change. Especially when you've been in love with your best friend for years.

    Summary

    “Link? Are you hurt?”

    He stared at the corpses as if seeing death for the first time, spellbound by the red tendrils that rose from them like steam. His legs shook; his stomach roiled with sickness; it took him three tries to slide the Master Sword into its scabbard. Zelda drew closer, her brow creased with worry, a faint aura of light still shimmering around her as she reached for his shoulder.

    The Gloom recoiled from her touch, and Link flinched back, clutching his arm, digging his nails in again to feel something, anything else. She snatched her hand away as though burned, staring at him through the darkness.

    “Link?” she repeated, her voice shrinking down to something small and scared. “Can you answer me?”

    Summary

    Rouge doesn't care about any of these kids, besides maybe Shadow. And they certainly don't care about her.

    (She's always been a good liar.)

    Summary

    What does it take to bring down a hero? A single wrong step, apparently. What does it take to build one back up? That Shadow does not know, yet.

    Summary

    "What do you want, Faker? Why are you here at-" Shadow squinted at the clock- "three in the fucking morning?"

    Sonic swallowed, tapping his foot anxiously, feeling a lot like a scared little kid under Shadow's judgemental stare.

    "Well?"

    "I can't sleep."

     

    Unpleasant memories are keeping Sonic awake at night, so he seeks comfort from the one person who might be able to understand.
