    Summary

    At the end of the Breath of the Wild, Link and Zelda seal Ganon away... Or at least, they try. Ganon uses the Goddess's power to claw his way into another universe, one that's not equipped to deal with him or his power. Naturally, Link and Zelda have to follow, right into a world unlike anything they've ever imagined, with dozens, if not hundreds, of heroes, all working together to stop threats. Unfortunately, they can't stop this one.

    Or, in which Zelda tells off Batman, Link steals Wonder Woman's sword, and the two teenage heroes repeatedly make the heroes eat their words.

    I wrote this years ago and published on fanfic. net, and I saw it again and figured, yeah, ok I guess AO3 can have it too

    Summary

    Today was supposed to be her day. It was supposed to be a relaxing day. No meetings with her father. No kneeling on the cold hard floor for her devotions. No standing in freezing waters to pray to a lifeless statue. And certainly, no cavaliers dogging at her heels.

    But, of course, not everything goes her way. Such was her luck.

    So, Zelda will ruin his day just as much as he ruined hers. Turnabout was fairplay, after all.

    Summary

    “Sir Knight.” Zelda called, words hanging in the cool desert air. She only had a view of him from the corner of her eye looking over her shoulder, but even in the night she could see him turn his gaze to meet hers. His normal bright blue seemed dulled- tired. But he stubbornly kept to his duties, irking her to no end. “Come on, Hero. There won’t be any Yiga here this time. Join me.”

    In the complete opposite direction of what she’d wanted, Link instead shook his head, his grip on the Master Sword’s hilt squeezing tighter. Why, the nerve--!

    Summary

    One breath.

    One more breath is all it takes to fell those fragile walls he's dutifully erected for himself.

    He crumples, and throws himself into her arms.

    Or: After untold time apart, Zelda and Link finally reunite.

    Summary

    “I wanted—” Link starts. Zelda’s golden head snaps up at the sound of his voice, and he almost breaks, but somehow he gets the rest out. “To thank you. For yesterday. And to say sorry.”

    “Sorry?” She looks at his wounded shoulder incredulously. “Whatever for?”

    For your sleepless nights, he thinks. For the way you look at the Master Sword. For the bruises on your knees when you pray for too long and I don’t know how to make you stop. For letting your father treat you the way he does. For being such a coward.

    Summary

    As he watched King Rhoam walk away, Link’s face was absolutely furious. It was nothing more than a deep frown and a furrowed brow, but compared to his usual expression, it was the equivalent of him snarling and baring his teeth like a rabid animal.
    He raised his hand, and Zelda has never been more aware of the sword on his back than now.
    ---
    Or: That one scene from the BOTW memories with King Rhoam, but with a slight twist.

    Summary

    What was so different about him, she wondered. At first she’d figured it was just because they had, yet again, gone through a death-defying, impossible ordeal together, but it had been a few weeks and now she wasn’t so sure.

    Summary

    Being pressed against his chest is as thrilling as it is worrisome. He’s put on a thin shirt (when she first woke up, he was bare-chested) through which his warmth seeps so wonderfully against the exposed skin of her back. What’s worrisome is that his chest is moving rapidly, heavily. He seems to be fighting for breath. At first she thought it was the adrenaline. Surely the fight with Ganondorf was fast-paced and arduous. It’s been long enough, though, that he ought to have caught his breath by now.

    She turns her head slightly so he can see part of her face. At this angle, Zelda can only glimpse the very tip of his ear. He’s wearing amber earrings, not the blue hoops she’s used to seeing.

    “Are you alright?” she murmurs.

    Summary

    Zelda leads Link throughout the castle and out the gates into Hyrule Field. His hand is warm and calloused. Fairly small, a similar size as hers. They fit together nicely. She gives him a cautious squeeze.

     

    Link squeezes back.

    Five times Link offers a gift related to Silent Princess flowers, and one time Zelda gives him something in return.

    Summary

    “Huh. Yeah, I think that’s exactly what I was trying to say. You’re pretty good at listening.”

    It’s Zuko’s turn to laugh, but his version just sounds bitter. “Trust me, I’m not.”

    The amount of self-loathing in those four short syllables is enough to make Sokka wince, but it doesn’t seem like his place to say anything. Zuko did do some pretty fucked up shit, after all. Maybe the self-loathing is warranted.

    (after the events of The Phoenix King (S3E18), the two oldest members of the Gaang have a talk)
    (and yes, Sokka learns about Zuko’s scar)

    Summary

    After the war, Toph has nightmares. The screeching of metal, Sokka and Suki's screams, the snap of Sokka's leg as it broke from their fall. It's usually his confession that they aren't going to make it that makes her wake up in a cold sweat. She's anxious all the time now, unable to find peaceful sleep.

    The cure is apparently to hold hands with her friends for all hours of the day and hope that they're cool with it.

    Summary

    Hakoda never expected to be broken out of prison, let alone by his son and his son’s ex arch enemy. Said arch enemy is somehow the most awkward person he’s ever met and every time Hakoda tries to talk to him, he disappears.

    Summary

    Zuko and Toph have a sparring match, and Zuko reveals a little more than he initially planned to.

    “Oh, you so let me have that one!” She shouted, throwing her hands up in the air. “Come on, it was obvious!”
    He grunted as he stood, trying not to get defensive. “Hardly.”
    “It was right there!” She gestured with her hands.
    “Well I. Didn’t. See it.” He didn't.
    “Even I would have been able to see that coming, and I’m blind!”
    Why was she taunting him like this? Zuko felt his anger flare up.
    “Congratulations,” Zuko sneered. “But not everyone gets an easy fix like you.”
    So much for not getting defensive.
