    Summary

    “Memories. Such powerful things. The Slumber of Resurrection damaged you, when it stripped them away.”
    “I’m starting to think it did more harm than good.”
    “Don’t be presumptuous. It’s not an easy thing, to raise the dead.”

    A stylized and non-canon-compliant retelling of Breath of the Wild, exploring the trauma of being brought back from the dead, and Link's struggle to accept his purpose in a world that has taken almost everything from him.

    This work is loosely divided into three acts. Chapters one through six comprise ACT ONE, RESURRECTION.
    Chapters seven through eleven comprise ACT TWO, THE HOLLOW SKY.
    Chapters twelve through nineteen comprise ACT THREE, THE CHILDREN OF HYLIA.

    Summary

    It's been fifteen years since the accident that changed so many lives, and the lie that ruined so much more. Time has moved on, but Sunny never did. After those four years of isolation and more tragedy layered on top, Sunny Inoue dedicated his life and his immense imagination to finding a way to change what happened on that terrible day and divert the flow of time to the events his lies caused. A successful college professor and renowned physicist, he embodies the stereotype of a mad scientist, but he would never let on from where his passion stems, nor would he ever show what he's running from, or that he's running at all. In his heart he mourns the loss of three he once held dear, a murder, a suicide, and a missing person. And the guilt still calls from the depths of his mind, wearing a familiar name... OMORI. Can his brilliance take him back to undo the harm that's been done? And even if he can, will it stop the nightmares, or the truth he knows in his heart? OMORI is still scratching at the ceiling of his prison, and Sunny can't run forever...

    Summary

    “Lovers’ quarrel?” The motel receptionist asks with a wiggle of his eyebrows. “Or do you snore too much?”

    Link chokes and turns it into a cough, unable to meet Zelda's eyes. “Neither.”

    “We’ve only got a King bed available. Hope you make up soon,” the receptionist says with a wink.

    Link sleeps on the couch.

    -

    After an assassination attempt, Link and Zelda must live together and navigate the impending Calamity, grad school, strange dreams, and their complete disasters of personal lives. One of those things is more difficult than the others.

    Summary

    An epilogue following the true end, in which Sunny remembers how to be a real person & his friends grapple with the truth. No ships in particular but arguably also all ships, since Sunny has a lot of Big Feelings about his friends.

     

    ###

    Then everything is different and the same.

    The water comes out of the taps differently, in thin little lines that prick too-hard at his skin. Sunny imagines that they’re the first wave of an ongoing invasion, the stinging tendrils of a far larger hivemind. And the Hive Mother is so, so old. To her, the whole of the Glittering Harbor is just another little flicker of light. Her foot soldiers advance and the skin on Sunny’s back falls away cleanly. She yawns and the city stands empty, apartments stiff and silent like toy soldiers. She blinks a thousand onyx eyes and the harbor’s boiled dry, the skyline only dust. A city for ghosts.

    Also, the ceilings are higher. And Sunny can see the ocean from his bedroom window.

    Here’s what’s the same: The house is big and white and empty. Mom doesn’t come home. His sister is dead. Sunny is alone.
