    Summary

    A work exploring Hateno and a makeshift sanctuary.

    Her basket's on the table, palms on either side of it. The house dark. Dim.

    The door hasn’t closed behind her. Zelda turns her head, peering through windswept hair. Light pours in behind him: his silhouette standing there on the threshold of his own home like a vampire awaiting an invitation. She almost laughs at the sight. The man who cut the Devil to pieces is scared to follow after a woman with a chip on her shoulder? How far they’ve both fallen.

    “It’s your house,” she points out.

    Permission to enter. He does even though it’s not hers to give. It’s only a few steps, of course. Can’t break the rule. Five feet. Always five feet apart. The door closes.

    She wants to break something. An old habit’s under heavy consideration.

    Summary

    A study in escapism, and inevitability.


    "Give me a reason to," she snaps, finally grasping her Slate.

    "They're my memories."

    Zelda looks at him. Takes in his knit forehead and the desperation she's never seen in him until now. She swallows, struggling to keep her voice from trembling as she whispers, "They're mine, too, Link."

    His heavy gaze dips, and for a moment, the crackle of her fallen torch is all there is. The seconds tick by. Five. Five more precious seconds he's stealing from her.

    That she's letting him steal from her.

    Then, his eyes lift, and he says:

    "Let's make a deal."

    Summary

    (A work exploring an apology, a lie, and the boy connecting the two. Or, alternatively, how to get far, far more than you bargained for.)

    ‘I’m sorry. It’s my fault.’

    The thorns constrict, and Zelda holds her roses tighter.

    She resents him. She’s always resented him.

    But this time, it’s just because he’d taken the words right out of her mouth.

    Summary

    The Calamity is dead, and Link never thought he would actually succeed. He is, somehow, still alive.

    So is Zelda.

    OR

    Link and Zelda won. This is the aftermath.
