    Summary

    The Calamity is gone. The remaining leaders of Hyrule gather for a Summit to determine the future of the kingdom, starting with how to repurpose all the Sheikah Technology. Zelda is among them, and while everyone still calls her Princess, she’s not sure she wants to lay claim to an old throne. What she really wants is to move on. She wants to continue her research, to prove her worth beyond her bloodline, and to spend as much time with Link as she can…which sounds an awful lot like what she wanted a hundred years ago…

    (Or, a lot of change happens in between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Let’s fill in the gaps.)

    Summary

    “Princess!” he yelled after her. “Where are you going?”
    “Back to the castle,” she replied without stopping.
    “Not by yourself you’re not!”
    “I’m sorry,”—she whipped around—“I didn’t realize you were my father?”
    “Your father, the king, would execute me for letting you travel by yourself.”
    “Oh, so this is about self-preservation?”
    “Yes. Yours. There are monsters all over Hyrule now, Your Highness.” Blue eyes pointedly looked her up and down. “And by the looks of it, you’re not equipped to handle that.”
    She mirrored his scrutiny and scoffed. “What, and you are?” She gestured to the cairns beyond the trees. “Are you going to protect me as well as you protected them?”

    Calamity is here.
    The Goddess Hylia appointed but two children to prevent the end of the world. The powers they were promised don't come easily, and after years of failure, Princess Zelda can't help but wonder if Hylia chose wrong. It certainly doesn't help that the boy fate has tangled her with makes her seethe.

    [This story is set in a fusion of BotW/TotK, with a couple tweaks and some familiar faces'n'places from older games joining along the way!]

    Summary

    After an attack by the Yiga Clan years after the Calamity was expected to return, King Rhoam orders Princess Zelda to learn how to protect herself, which Zelda already doesn’t want to do. But, when she realizes her instructor is— in her own words—'a rude, impolite, stuck-up, bossy, condescending, disrespectful, arrogant, selfish, wretched young knight' named Link who she absolutely can’t stand from the moment she meets him, she’s determined to make this experience difficult for him as well. At least, that's what she intended at the start.

    Summary

    Fear clambers into his mouth and tastes bitter on his tongue. “Who are you?” It takes him a moment to register the sound of his own voice.

    She stares at him. Blinks. “Lance, please, this isn’t time for one of your jokes--”

    He furrows his eyebrows and struggles to sit up, to stop leaning into the cradle of her arms. “I’m not--I’m not...joking.”

    *

    After sacrificing himself to save Allura, Lance wakes up in a strange new world where the only thing he knows is a deep connection to a boy he doesn't remember.
