    Summary

    There are two new dragons when Link wakes up after the Upheaval.

    There’s the Light Dragon, strange and beautiful, but also its baby, clumsy and pretty and barely bigger than Link, and the mystery of the two of them seems to give him more questions than answers. Where did they come from? Have they been up here this whole time? Since when could dragons have offspring?

    Not to mention, what happened to Zelda? Why does she seem so distressed in the memories he finds? And are she and the dragons connected by more than just tears?

    Link tries to find answers.

    ~~~

    Zelda and Link are married pre-totk. Some big things change because of it.

    Summary

    The Calamity is over, and Hyrule is starting to heal.

    After three years away, Link returns to a castle that has learned to live without him.

    As the kingdom rebuilds around them, Link and Zelda must slowly learn how to live beside another again - and discover whether some paths always lead back to where they truly belong.

    --

    So this is a story that has been forming in my head for a loong time. Even when I was writing some of my stuff from years ago (2019/2020)
    Which is probably why none of this has anything to do with Tears of the Kingdom

    I have different chapters everywhere which I keep on going back to. But I have the chapters already laid out and have the titles.
    There may be times when I either completely repost things or at least change some things.
    It may take some time for all of this to come together but I am excited about working on it.

    This will be a REAL slow burn!

    **Edit - I have changed the summary title as as I move on with this fiction I am starting to see things that stand out and things that would better represent what the story is about

    Summary

    "In another time, it was enough to make Zelda’s heart feel light, the burden on her shoulders forgotten. Now, it was difficult not to see the evidence of things that still disturbed her dreams: there, a scorch mark on the trunk of a tree. Here, a crater in the dirt, soil unnaturally disturbed by a great blast. In the distance, the remnants of a farmstead, the structure’s bare frame like a charred ghost on the horizon. Each scene was a reminder that, despite their efforts, the landscape would forever remain changed—that the echoes of violence would continue to blend into the otherwise serene wilds with each passing year."

    When the Calamity arrived, Zelda managed to awaken her power in time. They defeated Ganon on Hyrule Field, barely managing to save their world. The battle leaves Hyrule scarred, and six years on Link and Zelda find themselves changed, too. Estranged for years, they're drawn back into each other's lives when Link is forced to return to the castle. Can they overcome the years of misunderstandings and resentment between them? And is the Hyrule they worked so hard to protect as safe as they think?

    Or:
    Link and Zelda, years after the Calamity, find their way back together.
