    Summary

    Over Rumi's arm, crawling up her shoulder and to her neck, were dull, dark purple patterns. They were unmistakable. They couldn't be anything else.

    Around them, the honmoon rippled; the patterns flashed in time with it, a wave of vibrant pink pulsing through them and closing in on the injury, only for the glow to be repelled and spread outwards instead.

    The cold dread from before was back, pressing its frigid fingers to her spine. Her limbs were suddenly too heavy to move. Her brain buzzed with thousands of thoughts, too loud for any specific one to stand out.

    It didn't make sense. It wasn't possible.

    But then, neither was her shin-kal cutting Rumi.

    Honmoon weapons only killed demons. It was the reason Zoey could take risks with throwing her shin-kals—even if she did hit someone, the worst it could do was bruise.

    So why was Rumi bleeding?

    Summary

    Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.

    She pushed her fingers down.

    The rib shifted.

    The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."

    Rumi finds this out the hard way.

    Summary

    Her shoulder burned, and Zoey was being so nice, and she was going to have to throw away her stupid shirt because she’d seen how bloody it was when she checked, and she knew how soft and gentle Mira’s face would be when she fixed up Zoey’s cut, and she couldn’t carry Zoey even though she’d wanted to because it hurt, and she was going to have to sort this out on her own, again, and-

    Rumi gets hurt, then gets hurt again.

    Summary

    “Deep breaths.” Mira said, voice strained but making a solid attempt at soothing.

    She was afraid to look up and see them, so instead she looked at the patterns on her hands. Her lungs filled and refilled with air that burned going down. She flexed a hand, digging the sharp points of her claws into her palm experimentally. This was new.

    Her fingers were pried back firmly and insistently before she could break the skin.

    What if that conversation under the stage had gone slightly differently?

    Summary

    A few weeks after Gwi-Ma’s defeat, Rumi wonders if she can truly consider herself brave. She fights hordes demons and performs in front of huge crowds without a second thought, but being open with the people she loves most scares her so much it feels impossible. As she works to understand what she’s really afraid of, she realizes Zoey and Mira have two questions for her, asked patiently, subtly, softly, until she’s finally ready to face them:

    Are you brave enough to love us?

    And are you brave enough to let us love you?

    Summary

    Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.

    Or

    Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.

    “I love you, Celine.”

    The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—

    “You too,” Celine said back.

    ‘Pop.’

    “Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.”

    Or

    If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.

    Summary

    TOTK spoilers. The Demon King has been defeated and the princess returned to hylian form. Link and Zelda now have to move forward after their second cataclysmic event. And now they may have finally decided to stop wasting time. Or at least, Zelda is finally gonna open the door and Link will happily walk through it. M for violence, lemons, depictions of trauma, sparse language.

    This is a posting of my story from Fanfiction.net. I'm the original author of the work on that site, I'm simply porting it over here because I figured somebody would appreciate it. I've kept all my original authors notes, so if the timeline of posting seems off based on those notes, that's why. But while I'm the author of Never Again, I own no Zelda IP beyond this fan contribution.

    Summary

    Another hand caught hers, rough skin but gentle strength. She knew the callouses on the squeezing fingers, better than any sign language: It's me. 

    Her throat closed up around his name. The same as a stone. The same as her choice.

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR TOTK. Not the focus of this fic, but there are spoilers! May differ slightly from canon, my own interpretation of post-TotK.

    As Zelda struggles with her role as prodigal monarch to a recovering Hyrule, Link falls ill. Between one misunderstanding and the next, they may need to arrive at a new arrangement to keep the Kingdom and all its complicated actors moving in the right direction.

    Summary

    Neither of them rested easily, nor quickly. But when they were together, they had this: the hours-long relief of the quiet dark and the warmth of each other, the press of their skin. Link had described the way his dark, gifted arm, still cursed to the bone with Gloom despite Rauru’s best efforts, would seem to purify under the light of the Goddess when he gave her offerings. She wondered if this was like that. If every second pressed together with the quiet promise of protecting each other helped to expel some of the bone-deep darkness they carried just under their skin.

    Zelda comes home.

    Summary

    Link and Zelda saved each other and Hyrule from back-to-back apocalypses- you’d think they've earned the right to finally relax and enjoy each other’s love and settle into a happily-ever-after. But no one actually found the body when the leader of the Yiga Clan disappeared, did they? There’s one last very dangerous loose thread out there the kingdom of Hyrule cannot ignore.
