Summary
When the clouds roll in angry dark grey, Ravio gently coaxes her up onto her feet and escorts her home. He keeps an eye out, tandem steering the still inconsolable woman and looking back to the fissure with a wobbling lip and tear filled eyes he can no longer hide. He looks, hoping for the assurance of a horrible prank gone wrong, a curfew missed, a distraction leading little feet across the grass into the woods, not the edge.
/
In the creak of each doorway and the howl of every gust, a tune follows it out, sweeping through the streets like gentle harmony. Even the canyons whisper it, sometimes, on hollow nights – filled with the tired yet steady merriment of the people, spiteful.
Ravio follows the sound when he can. Clings to it, desperately, sometimes the faintest whisper of it all he has to guide him to the light of safety.
----
A moment of despair, and a moment of hope. Lorule perseveres through both of these, and so does Ravio.

Inappropriate Use of Military Issued Uniform by berriethewizard
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
08 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
When he was issued the blue scarf as part of his uniform as hero serving under the Hyrule military, he knew it was mostly for show. A display of the royal colour, made of soft expensive fabric uninterrupted by piecing, one long, lavish symbol of pride and protection. Here is your hero! it yells. That's what it was for.
Now, though, Link is finding a new use for it.

returning and staying by berriethewizard

Summary
He's not... mad, at Link. Well, a little, but it's less directly at him specifically. That man has a bad habit of not caring about his own needs, and it hurts Ravio to watch him hurt himself for other people. Especially when they don't even appreciate it, or care about him at all. He's breaking his back for people that want it broken, and it pisses Ravio off! But he knows it isn’t his fault. It’s something that has been drilled into him for years: he’s not as important as what he can do for others. Ravio just… wishes Link were a little more eager to take him up on the chance to be free of it.
Clock ticking over to thirty minutes late, Ravio sighs to himself. It seems it is time for plan B: drag Link out of that office himself.
----
Ravio gets given a heroic quest of his own, one involving time travel, and the first thing he does is go to the Link he knows with the experience necessary. Link, of course, says he will help, but preparations take more out of him than they both wanted. Ravio takes care of him. Originally written June 2024

blossoming alone over you by berriethewizard

Summary
Despite it, he finds himself thankful. The work is familiar, in many regards, and keeps him distracted and active. Something he felt sorely lacking, as the monotony of the staff rank of Colonel let the claws of his past and his burden sink into his mind. And, beyond that: it returned Ravio to him. Bright, hopeful and cheerful emerald green eyes peeking up at him at his front door, Link’s breath stolen from his lungs when Ravio launched himself at his chest and the warmth was real. None of the stress has managed to completely diminish that euphoria, yet.
----
No deep lore, no larger story to know, just some sweetness in love on a nebulous quest Ravio and Link go on after the war across the ages. Originally written November 2024

Despair is a Siren by berriethewizard

Summary
The wraith laughs again. “Scared, little rabbit? I have heard the whisperings, you know. The fallings, the famines. This land is crumbling, and – ha! – you’ll be going with it! How perfect!”
“We— We’re stronger than you think, you know.”
The screeching howl of laughter that echoes through the hall threatens to send Ravio to his knees in fear. He wants to run, he wants to hide – throw himself under the heavy weight of the curtains draperies and shiver until the wraith gets bored and Hilda comes looking. He wants to cower. He wants to give up.
But if he does, then he knows nobody else will take his place in holding onto the light.

meeting judgement by the hounds by berriethewizard

Summary
Hilda takes to the skies once more and does a bird's eye pass over nearly all of Lorule. It’s both a depressingly familiar sight and wholly new. Seeing it in the new light of their sun, the first spots of true green against grey yellow of their deprived grasses – it's beautiful. But each beautiful patch is broken up by a hoard of monsters not yet eliminated, crumbling buildings, and the deep fissures glittering with its exposed veins against pitch black. It’s the only home she’s known, and wholly foreign to her. The deep seated itch of it shouldn’t be like this broken up by you were a fool to think you can heal a world when all you know is decay.
She doesn’t see Ravio.
----
Ravio goes missing, and Hilda cannot find him. This is handled well, of course.

LoZ Femslash Week Day Four: Dark and Light (conflict) by berriethewizard
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
10 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
At the centre of it all, Zelda stands. She stands waiting, head turned back to look at her lingering just past the entry doorway. Her eyes are bright in the afternoon glow, skin warm with it, deep brown like the richest dark garnets, and her face is open, curious, and innocent. Unknowing to what keeps Hilda cowering in the shadows, away from her.

Summary
Despite being, well, herself for a few years now, Lana is still relying on magic for so much. She doesn't know how to do her hair, and she summoned her clothes when she first became her – she’s been too nervous to go to a tailor for anything proper, and instead just wears the exact same thing every day. It stays clean, at least. The pyjamas she has on right now were a gift from Cia, when she saw how she just slept in her shorts and nothing else. There’s very little to Lana, even after so much time, and she’s a bit ashamed of it.
But Linkle always makes her feel so nice.
“I can teach you! C’mere,” Linkle hops out of her chair, patting the back rest and looking at Lana expectantly. She hesitates for a single moment, before slipping out of bed and approaching.
----
Waking up together, Linkle teaches Lana how to plait her hair. Through a happy accident, they finally have the moment they've both been waiting for. Written for @loz-femslash-week on tumblr

Summary
Oh, Linkle.
Now there is where the guilt rests the heaviest, on some nights. Lana doesn’t know Linkle at all. They’ve fought together, a couple times, when Linkle has stumbled into battles – she’s a marvel to behold on the field, her speed and command of the very landscape’s attention with her presence captivating to Lana, too – but that’s it. She comes in, does something amazing, then is off again, determined and eager. Not one of their registered soldiers, not someone from across the eras. A hero, completely separate from both the war and history.
The guardian of time never once took notice.
Lana thought someone escaping the guilty gaze of their loneliness would be a good thing – but, truly, how dare they? How dare they be so caught up in their little story, their fantasy of Link and Zelda and those attached to destiny that they neglected such a beautiful soul? Completely disregarded someone else who shone so bright, just because they weren’t deemed important. How cruel, Lana now knows. How selfish.
----
Lana contemplates her actions as the guardian and how to handle her own guilt, and her future. Linkle helps show her the way, like the dutiful hero she is

Summary
The birds sing somewhere nearby. Her clothes are drying again, and the first true rays of the sun press into her. There’s a couple shadows distantly to her left, and for the first time she notices the smell of straw and animal excrement. Must be in some sort of pen. She wonders what kind of animal she decided she was no better than, in her state.
As if hearing her question, a cucco comes into view. Linkle is leaning over her, the bird cradled in her arms. Ah. That’s where she is.
//
They were meant to be whole again. The Guardian was restored. And she couldn't want anything else, shouldn’t want anything else – that’s what Lana was made for, after all. The discarded scraps of kindness given new purpose to rescue her other half. With her duty done, she should be content. Lana thought she’d just peacefully drift away, join Cia in entirety, or at the least, they’d fit back together more neatly. Except they didn’t. And she was still here.
What happened to her? Well, nothing, really. That is exactly the problem. What do you do with yourself, when you still linger past your use?

Summary
Now the adrenaline is fading, it becomes incredibly hard to ignore the pain in his chest. It pulses in time with his heartbeat, an unnaturally hot burning across his ribcage – he takes in miniscule breaths trying as hard as he can not to agitate it. All it does is push forward dizziness to accompany the pain, head twice as heavy as before. Link leans against the wall. He doesn’t have a potion – they’ve been short on potions near constantly – and until they’re out of here, there’s no other medical care to be given. He bites the inside of his lip. It shall simply have to be shouldered through. He gives himself one more moment to rest there, then continues down the hall.

Ravio and Link explore a crypt together. Ravio has more of a fun time than Link does. (set in a still nebulous adventure Link and Ravio take post the war of eras. no context required) -

Summary
The envy she usually feels being the lone one upon the stairs, everyone only approaching her for a moment and then departing to leave her isolated once more, is offset by the novelty of today’s occasion. That is, who was invited to this particular event.
Linkle is… mesmirising.

Summary
With the last of Twilight’s clothes thrown to a pile on the floor, he finally sighs, “A do not want to do all of this again tomorrow.”
“It’ll only be two more days after that, then we’ll be back on the road,” Colonel points out.
“That is not comforting information,” Twilight glowers.
Colonel smiles, rolling over so he’s on his back and closer to Twilight. Seeing Twilight standing there, strong arms crossed, bare and shameless in the candlelight – something stirs just slightly. And he’s still clearly put out by the situation… Colonel gets an idea.
He takes his scarf in both hands, fabric sagging between, and ever so swiftly loops it around Twilight’s back and pulls.
----
Colonel and Twilight are finally in the comfortable luxury of Twilight's Hyrule castle, and decide to take advantage of both the bath, and bed, provided. Set in some nebulous quest the two of them are on - no prior context required.

Summary
They’re standing in the stairwell of an inn. Volga stares intently at him, unmoving, as Link flounders. He’s bright red, he’s sure of it, but there’s no mirror to check or any way to stop the blood flowing to his cheeks.
“You can’t just– ask someone that!” he splutters out, looking at Volga incredulously.
“Why not? You humans seem to talk of copulating, and the results of, all the time. If you’re having needs, then you simply are. Dragons mate too, you are aware?”
Volga had smelled that he was horny. Because of his fucking t shot sending him into overdrive, and the long days of travel leaving him with no opportunity to deal with it. And now the dragon is staring him down, waiting for a yes or no to whether he is in heat.
----
or: Volga helps his travelling partner out. The fact that they both don't really know how the other species works doesn't necessarily stop them

Summary
Ravio is used to it, but it doesn't make it any easier. Being weak, feeling… vulnerable. The constant vigilance eats at you, wears you down into a barebones, anxious mess. He manages it, mostly, the majority of days – but it's times like these where the full weight of the fear crashes into him. The fear of what will happen next.
He doesn’t have to wonder for long, in the end. Sheerow comes whizzing around the corner – and with him, Ravio’s saviour.
----
Ravio realising he doesn't have to be alone anymore, because he isn't. Set in a (currently nebulous) quest Link and Ravio go on together a couple years after the War of Eras
