Just Another Romance Story

Summary:

It's September 2005. 17 year-old Corrin Grey-an introverted, quiet, and soft-spoken girl, with her head constantly in the clouds-is just starting her senior year at a new boarding school. She's never really had many friends before, and has always kept to herself. Things such as romance she has only ever dreamed of, not expecting it as a reality for herself. However, once she had moved to her new school, her life had suddenly turned into a whole daydream, full of clichés she's read and seen in movies. Such as falling for someone she'd never expect...

Corrin's roommate, Lucina also has some love stuff going on, but it's not like the fantasy that Corrin's living. Having to choose between people is hard, why did she have to get herself caught in such a love triangle? And then let's not even get started on the mess that Peach has got going on... well Marth too. And Link? Zelda? Who knows?

Romance tropes and clichés, drama, parties, it's your typical early 2000s teen/high school movie, in the structure of a fanfic!

Chapter 1: A/N

Chapter Text

Just to clear up a few things before we start so that nobody gets confused,

 

—This story takes place in the early/mid 2000s (2005-2006) and so many things will be outdated. I am not an expert on things from back then, so I may get some things wrong, such as technology from that time. Correct me if you notice anything incorrect.

 

—Since it's set during the early/mid 2000s, the way things are will be different than now. For example, the LGBTQ+ was seen differently than it is now. Now of course, it isn't as bad as like the 80s, but it's still seen in a different way. There will be some homophobia present, but not extremely often, and will typically be minor. However there may be some that is quite extreme. There will always be a trigger warning for these scenes. I do not support homophobia in any way, however, I am trying to represent the time period accurately as I can. Overall, expect ignorant language to be used at times.

 

—Yes, this is supposed to be a bit cheesy at times, as it is kind of inspired by early 2000s rom-coms and teen movies. But of course, expect more serious things too.

 

—This story switches through multiple perspectives throughout. The character name will be written in bold at the beginning of their perspective to indicate that they're narrating. If there is no character name written, then it's in third person—unless it's in the middle of a chapter, in which it will indicate that it's in third pov.

 

—Link and Zelda are their Ocarina of Time incarnations.

 

That's pretty much all I can come up with as of right now.

 

Enjoy!!!
