    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.

    BotW ZeLink. Modern AU.

    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?”

    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.)

    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.

    Summary

    “Have you threatened every person in this castle?” She hissed. “Because I haven’t heard a word of my incompetence in three and a half weeks, and only after tricking some poor unfortunate footman into speaking halfway ill of me does he break down nearly into tears and beg me to please not tell you what he’s said.”

    A faint pink blushed onto the tips of his ears. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t have to. It was an unwilling admission of guilt.

    “Would you prefer they gossip about you, Your Highness?” His eyes lifted back to hers only when he finished speaking, and for a single moment, she was frozen under his stare. He had asked in sincerity, without any disingenuousness.

    The audacity, to ask such a question. “No,” she said, her voice falling flat. Insulting, that a man who so rarely used his voice could so easily put her in her place with it. He hadn’t even really meant to.

    For just a moment, she stared at him, waiting for him to lord his victory over her as he had so well earned. But instead he just kept staring earnestly at her, as if it were her turn to disclose, as if she was the one holding out on him.

    Finally, blessedly, he spoke again. “What would you have me do instead?”

    Summary

    “I wanted—” Link starts. Zelda’s golden head snaps up at the sound of his voice, and he almost breaks, but somehow he gets the rest out. “To thank you. For yesterday. And to say sorry.”

    “Sorry?” She looks at his wounded shoulder incredulously. “Whatever for?”

    For your sleepless nights, he thinks. For the way you look at the Master Sword. For the bruises on your knees when you pray for too long and I don’t know how to make you stop. For letting your father treat you the way he does. For being such a coward.

    Summary

    Her knight doesn’t react immediately. Instead, he shuts his eyes and takes a slow, concentrated breath, like he’s attempting to ground himself. The motion causes her heart to race a bit, alarm bells ringing in her ears. Just how exhausted is he? A hand comes to rest on hers, where she’s wiping a patch of dust off of his cheek with her thumb, and he finally opens his eyes again. The electric blue color that normally shines in his gaze seems almost pale and empty, like the very life has been drained out of them. “No,” He says, so softly she almost misses it, and then he begins to sway in place. “I’m sorry.”

    -

    Or, Link and Zelda find themselves injured after a fight and have to help each other out a bit.

    Summary

    “These are your apology flowers?”

    “Yes,” he whispered.

    “They’re very pretty,” she said quietly, staring down at them, “But they’re not good for apologies.”

    “Oh, yeah?” he breathed.

    “They mean ‘danger’,” she said, raising a brow at him.

    Marinette had always been so patient with Adrien when it came to matters of his father. She understood that he struggled to say 'no', that he was trying his best. She always made it clear that she loved him anyway.

    But even she had her limits. Her trust in him was wearing thin.

    Good, he couldn't help but think, standing at her front door with his father whispering into his earpiece. She shouldn't trust me.

    “You came to watch her, right?” He asks, making her tense up. But he doesn’t sound accusatory—he speaks plainly. “You’ve been doing that every night.”

    Summary

    “Thank you,” he murmurs groggily – and he can feel his throat close up as soon as the words leave his mouth. The stuffiness in his head clears instantly, replaced by cold panic.

    He let down his guard. He forgot, just briefly, to focus on what he’s saying.

    He thanked Yor in Westalian, in the wrong damn language, and now his entire cover might be blown.

    In which Westalians and Ostanians speak different languages, and Twilight has a bad habit of slipping into his native language when he’s too tired to focus.

    Summary

    University has been hard on Marinette. Making new friends and maintaining her grades is a lot easier said than done when she has to disappear at odd times to fight akumas. She's struggling, and with Alya away with family and Adrien painfully out of reach, she's never felt lonelier.

    If only she could talk to someone who really understood her struggles... but it's not like Chat Noir would know anything about loneliness. Right?
