Summary
Three years ago, Princess Zelda was killed in a tragic accident. Now, what's left of her lives on in shadows, disguised as the last of the Sheikah and bound to serve the very man who claimed her kingdom: Ganondorf Dragmire, bearer of the Triforce of Power.
To protect Hyrule, she plays the loyal spy, forever balancing the razor’s edge between obedience and defiance in an attempt to keep her people safe from his wrath. But in the dark, where not even he can see her, something far more complicated transpires between them -- something that makes her feel again, even if it means betraying the woman she was in a past life.
The scars that cover her body have deprived her of sensation, of a chance at being more than a living corpse. But when an assassination attempt on Ganondorf fails, she finds that she is not the only one marred by old wounds. That which damns her may just be what binds her to the man she hates, almost as much as she hates herself.
Written for Zelgan Week! Prompt: Scars / Memories
