    Summary

    “Who are you?”

    Loid met her gaze. Yor wondered what her face was doing, that he was taking so long to answer. “To you, I am Loid Forger.” Why did that hurt more than if he’d struck her? “And to Anya,” he said, some gentleness finally coming into his voice, “I am Loid Forger. Her father. And you are her mother.” Yor stared at him, now certain her devastation was plain on her face.

     

    When Yor learns of a plot to kidnap Anya, she returns home to find Loid handling a gun with expert skill, and Anya already taken. In rallying around Anya after that earth-shattering day, Yor and Twilight face a time of uncertainty where choices are made, long-kept secrets are shared, and precarious trust becomes unassailable intimacy.

    Summary

    "And I can't even do that right! I'm the prince who's going to let his people die because he can't bear the thought of using his body that way, of being that figure of fatherhood and masculinity for his people. I'm the prince who runs away and buries himself in ancient relics and fruitless research. It's only a matter of time until I'll have no choice left in the matter."

    Your research might save us, Link signs.

    "Ha! Perhaps you are the only man in the kingdom who believes that, Sir Link."


    Hyrule has no princess, no real hope against the oncoming Calamity, and its prince has better things to do than wasting his time on his research. These statements may or may not be true.

    Summary

    The Calamity has been defeated, and as far as the world knows, Link and Zelda are dead. Two women, once noble colleagues, confidantes, lovers, now strangers, emerge from the wreckage of Hyrule Castle and take refuge in the Hero's house in Hateno Village. They bury the ghosts of their past and learn to live again after one hundred years of suffering. Or they try.

    *In this fic, Link is a trans woman, and is consistently referred to with she/her pronouns.

    Summary

    When Link awoke after 100 years, she didn't feel much, except an overwhelming sense of self. A female self. Though that doesn't change, things might be toughter than she expected...

    Summary

    The day before he fought Ganon the first time, he’d visited all the people he’d come to know and all the Champions waiting for release. He had thought it would be the last time he’d ever see them. He’d even made peace with it.

    Now, that yesterday is nearing a month ago for Link, and he is so tired.

    “I did,” he says. “I went. Fought Ganon.”

    “— Did you have to retreat?”

    “…Didn’t fight it today. Five days ago. And ten. But also today.”

    Link defeats the Calamity. And then he faces it again and again and again and again—
