    Summary

    Erik does not make it a habit to notice chorus girls, but this one is different.

    He is meant to be alone this morning. The entire opera house knows better than to disturb their strange pianist in his endless hours of practice, but no one seems to have passed that piece of wisdom on to her, because there she is, slipping through the doors without so much as a glance at where he’s sat behind the piano in the shadows, his latest composition in hand.

    Summary

    “Let’s say you’ve been asleep for a hundred years and when you wake up you’ve lost all your memories, but you defeat the big bad monster like you’ve been told to, because a girl told you to, and because you were in love with her. And after defeating the big bad monster she comes back, only she’s not the person she was a hundred years ago. And you’re not the person you were a hundred years ago. And yet every time you look at her, your chest hurts so bad you think you might be dying.”

    He looks up from his breadstick. “Am I dying?”

    “No,” Beedle says. “I think you’re stupid.”

    All roads lead to Hateno.

    He felt the apology coming and parried it deftly, knight that he was. “What’s mine is yours, Princess.”

    A sly smile. “Do not tempt me, Hero.”

    “That’s exactly what I’m trying to do.”

    Summary

    What is she supposed to tell him-- that what she’s really afraid of is that she’s not sure she knows who she is without the devil whispering in her ears? That as awful as it is to stand on legs that shake beneath her own weight, it’s the crown awaiting her in the ruins of Castle Town that weighs on her most?

    Summary

    There was a chance that she didn’t know. Her family had passed when she was much younger, thrusting her into the political world, so it was possible she just wasn’t used to casual conversations. Yes, Link was sure that this was the reason that Her Majesty, Queen Zelda, was currently engaged in a stare off with one of the noblemen.

    Her Majesty was simply too inexperienced in these kinds of interactions. This was why she was still sitting at the table, watching Lord Rion leave as if nothing- She smirked. By the Goddesses! She knew what she was doing!

    Three years after the Twilight, Link is living comfortably in his new role. He’s never really thought to question the rumors that surround the Queen. The ones that say she is expressionless, devoid of emotion, an Ice Queen. One fateful night, however, will give him a glimpse of something more from the elusive Queen Zelda, setting him off on another grand quest.

    A quest to see all facets of Zelda - for perfectly rational, platonic reasons of course.

    Summary

    He doesn't know who he is. But he knows what she wants. Maybe...maybe it's what he wants, too.

     

    "Our current working relationship. It's—it's not sufficient," he says. "Not to me."
    It's surreal, seeing the changes her expression undergoes. The way her eyes shift from disbelief, to shock, to something unadulterated but quiet all at once. Her lips part a little as she looks at him, all the muscles soft on her face. A new energy brimming just beneath the surface.
    "And this is what you want?" she says, her voice shaky, a tinge of uncertainty there.
    "Yes."
    Relief flashes over her for the briefest second. Rolls through her body like a sudden chill, he can see it. Her hands clasp at her lips and she seems to think for a little longer. Processing. Then she looks at him again.
    "Well...I suppose we should clean up, then."

    Summary

    Princess Zelda didn’t sleep. Link had tried everything he could think of to get her to rest. Sleep-inducing teas or elixirs, extra soft beds, extra firm beds, sleeping outside under the night sky, in a crowded inn, alone in his cottage, out by the sea with the calming sound of waves. But it appeared that the type of insomnia the princess suffered from was divinely stubborn. Rain or shine, cloudy or clear, she would always get up to sit cross-legged outside, leaning back on her arms, staring up at the sky until sunrise.

    Summary

    “I know you understand duty too well to believe your job is over, but, Link,” the King says his name, and Link becomes even more nervous, now. “You saved everyone in Hyrule. You deserve a vacation, don’t you think? Perhaps a title? Tell me how I can repay you for your service, please.”

    Link knows what he wants to ask for. He’s known for a while now, actually. He wants that house across the bridge in Hateno Village, the new one. He wants the black castle horse, Charcoal, who he’s ridden ever since being assigned to his current post. Most of all, he wants to take a certain blonde Princess with him to that house in Hateno on the back of that black horse, so she can spend her days at Purah’s tech lab and her nights in his arms, and he never wants to have to leave her ever again.

    Even if by some Goddess-given miracle, the Princess wanted Link the way he wanted her, and the King was somehow okay with that, he doesn’t think the King would give him that.

    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

    “I wish I could stop mourning you,” she admits into the empty air and feels the guilt grip her throat like an icy hand when he stills against her.
    “And I wish I knew how to love you,” he breathes in reply, and she knows what he means. He’s wishing, not for the first time, that he could love her in the way he did decades ago—be that same boy for her sake, but she can’t ask that of him. She doesn’t want that, anyway. What she really wants is to move on, to let the memory of him rest so that she could thrive with the Link she knows and loves now.
