Summary
“You’re going on a vacation, Hero. That’s an order.”
“And if I should refuse?” Link challenged, eyes flicking up to meet Zelda’s, taunting now. “What, will I be relieved of duty?”
“Hush,” she snorted, fighting back a snicker. “You haven’t even asked what the vacation would entail.”
“To ask would imply interest, my lady, of which I have none.”
“Not even if you’d get to return to your beloved Ordon?”
He gaped at her, sighed heavily. “Well, that simply isn’t fair.”
“Then it’s decided.” Zelda’s smirk could level entire armadas. “You’ll leave first thing in the morning.”

Summary
“Come, Pet.” The words sent ice down Miko’s spine. And to invoke them so suddenly… “Sit in Master’s lap.” A direct order. She let her shoulders fall, swallowing back her pride to fit herself just where he'd asked. Ayato’s arms curled around her quickly. “There she is, there’s my girl…”
“Your girl? Not anymore.” She leaned away, the desk’s edge digging into the small of her back. “Not with how you’ve embarrassed me.”
“Coming when called, sitting when told… Of course you’re my girl. Tell me,” he began, tugging her tight to his hips, “is my lap more comfortable than your high horse?”

Summary
“It was my fault,” Pantalone said distractedly, entranced by the sliver of skin peeking out from between her glove and her sleeve. “I wasn’t looking where I was going. Too busy daydreaming, I suppose. Are you all right, dear?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Oh, she… Was she trembling?
“You must be freezing,” he cooed, smoothing a hand up her back.
“No, it’s… I’m okay, really,” she assured, casting an unconvincing smile his way. He couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’re shivering,” he countered. “Unless…” He pursed his lips, tilting his head playfully. “Unless I make you nervous?”
“What?” Her eyes widened above cheeks flushed from the cold. “No, not at all! You seem very kind—”
“Perhaps you’ve taken ill, then.” He lifted a brow. “Or maybe you’ve got low blood sugar. Though…” The corners of his mouth twitched; he granted his smile a bit of agency. “With as sweet as you are, I’d find the latter a bit difficult to believe.”

Summary
“This is never happening again. Tell anyone and I’ll kill you.”
Zelda wouldn’t kill him, though; Link was pretty confident about that. Or, well, he really hoped she wouldn’t. And his chances were good enough, probably, because the first part (the whole “this is never happening again” thing) hadn’t ended up being true (so far). And besides that, he’d really pissed her off on more than a few occasions, so if she hadn’t killed him by now, why would she over something like this? She’d just been crying his name a few minutes ago, after all—
“Did you hear me?”
“Yes, your royal highness.” Oh, he heard her, all right. Gods, Link, harder, harder, it’s so good— “I heard you.”

Summary
“Stelle, wait.”
The hallway’s dim fluorescents shine through the doorway, making haze of her thin t-shirt; her ribs and her waist are shadows of some unattainable, gauzy silhouette, like smoke between fingers. He can’t even see her face now. He wants for so much, for so many things, but he can’t take any of them, not even when they’re right in front of him. Because he isn’t allowed. Not after what he’s done.
“It’s okay, Dan Heng, I’ll just—”
The most he can grant himself is her wrist. This time, though, he holds on and he doesn’t let go. And when she looks at him, he looks right back at her. Steady. Burning.
“Stay,” he says, the single syllable so demanding that the sound of it surprises even him. His heart thuds. The Hunt is thick in his veins. “Please. I’d like for you to stay.”

Summary
She loves him quietly, in the way sacred things are meant to be loved.
And though she loves him in shadow, her love is anything but quiet—it’s a snowstorm howling against her at every waking moment, an ocean reaching up into the endless sky before it crashes against her and drags her into the undertow. The rage of the wind as it parses through the willows and a volcano on the precipice of eruption as the ground trembles beneath it. And in spite of all things, the bloom inside of her is kept secluded, tucked away in the deepest part of her being where she and only she can find it.

She's there. She's right there and yet so infuriatingly far away. Every moment with her is agony, but he keeps coming back, he can't think of anything else to do.

Summary
* General spoilers for ToTK *
After Ganondorf tricks the Queen of Hyrule and causes her untimely demise, Zelda is once again transported back in time, 40 years prior to Sonia's murder.
This time, she finds herself in a land before Hyrule, enveloped in fear and unrest as monsters plague from below, while neglectful "Gods" reign from above.
As the tremors of the earth worsen day by day, it falls upon Ganondorf to safeguard the well-being of his people and the city of Gerudo. Negotiations between the young hero king and a masked sky deity give rise to a lifelong rivalry between the two, and Zelda uncovers a horrifying truth about her kingdom's origins.

Summary
“What is it that you want, Link?” It's a searing lick of a flame against his ear, his name painted with darkling strokes in a way that tugs gooseflesh up from beneath his skin.
“I want…” he starts softly, lips hardly even meeting. Even in hesitation, his voice runs smoothly over her, tugs at the last traces of resolve, and she waits for the bloom of detonation in the palm of his hand. “I want… I want….” She catches sight of the faintest trace of a y forming at trembling lips. He’s beautiful, so achingly beautiful; resilience withers and leaves desperation fraying his edges, and Zelda thinks she might fade away when she draws to the realization for the first time—Link loves her.
He’s in love with her.
