    Summary

    A ghost told Link a story once. In this story, everyone died on a burning field.

    There were two survivors –– the lovelorn princess and her battered knight, cursed in cruel mercy to a century in purgatory and a memory so shattered and broken that it was impossible to put the shards back where they fit.

    He learned atop the Temple of Time, the dilapidated ruins where his ancestors’ ancestors’ ancestors once stood, that Hyrule had sustained itself on nothing more than stories for ten thousand years. Evil collected underneath the marble floors of Hyrule Castle for centuries. Hyrule had almost unlimited time to find a way to stop it, and yet they waited for two characters out of a fable to save them. Why was anyone surprised when the myth couldn’t sustain itself? Salvation is not the job of two children, regardless of the lofty titles placed over their heads.

    But this isn’t a story about a knight. It’s not a story about a princess. This is a story about the aftermath of stories.

    This is, ostensibly, a story about a dog.

    Link, Zelda, and a never-ending story.

    Summary

    “Let’s say you’ve been asleep for a hundred years and when you wake up you’ve lost all your memories, but you defeat the big bad monster like you’ve been told to, because a girl told you to, and because you were in love with her. And after defeating the big bad monster she comes back, only she’s not the person she was a hundred years ago. And you’re not the person you were a hundred years ago. And yet every time you look at her, your chest hurts so bad you think you might be dying.”

    He looks up from his breadstick. “Am I dying?”

    “No,” Beedle says. “I think you’re stupid.”

    All roads lead to Hateno.

    Summary

    Bakugou thinks he can see, now, facing his younger self in these photos, what those children had witnessed in him. Why they’d backed down corridors and switched seats to escape him. Framed between chubby cheeks and blond locks lies smile that is too large, too sharp. One side pulls up too high, his teeth bare like fangs, force his eyes to narrow into an angry glare.

    If he didn’t know better, he’d call it a mugshot.

    Hajime returned to him knowing nothing. Feeling, only. A bird that flies north.


    (Hajime comes to Argentina eight years late. But mercy is perennial.)
