Summary
“Have you threatened every person in this castle?” She hissed. “Because I haven’t heard a word of my incompetence in three and a half weeks, and only after tricking some poor unfortunate footman into speaking halfway ill of me does he break down nearly into tears and beg me to please not tell you what he’s said.”
A faint pink blushed onto the tips of his ears. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t have to. It was an unwilling admission of guilt.
“Would you prefer they gossip about you, Your Highness?” His eyes lifted back to hers only when he finished speaking, and for a single moment, she was frozen under his stare. He had asked in sincerity, without any disingenuousness.
The audacity, to ask such a question. “No,” she said, her voice falling flat. Insulting, that a man who so rarely used his voice could so easily put her in her place with it. He hadn’t even really meant to.
For just a moment, she stared at him, waiting for him to lord his victory over her as he had so well earned. But instead he just kept staring earnestly at her, as if it were her turn to disclose, as if she was the one holding out on him.
Finally, blessedly, he spoke again. “What would you have me do instead?”

What the King Would Give by dayhaven

Summary
“I know you understand duty too well to believe your job is over, but, Link,” the King says his name, and Link becomes even more nervous, now. “You saved everyone in Hyrule. You deserve a vacation, don’t you think? Perhaps a title? Tell me how I can repay you for your service, please.”
Link knows what he wants to ask for. He’s known for a while now, actually. He wants that house across the bridge in Hateno Village, the new one. He wants the black castle horse, Charcoal, who he’s ridden ever since being assigned to his current post. Most of all, he wants to take a certain blonde Princess with him to that house in Hateno on the back of that black horse, so she can spend her days at Purah’s tech lab and her nights in his arms, and he never wants to have to leave her ever again.
Even if by some Goddess-given miracle, the Princess wanted Link the way he wanted her, and the King was somehow okay with that, he doesn’t think the King would give him that.

Summary
Princess Zelda's hand is pledged to an unknown suitor: the legendary hero who will wield the Sword that Seals the Darkness. Too bad she's fallen head over heels for an anomaly of a knight - who happens to be engaged to Princess Mipha.
Surely that won't complicate matters at all.

Summary
New chapter every Thursday!"You know, you should stop by my place on Tuesday," Zelda comments in a tone so jarringly sweet he's reeled right back in.
He shakes his head, certain he's misheard her. "What? I-"
"Our cleaning lady comes by on Tuesdays," she smiles. "Maybe she can vacuum all those cobwebs out of your ears-since your head is so pathetically void of any intelligent thought."
Link slams the pencil down flat. "If you hate tutoring me so much, why don't you just quit already?"It's Link most daunting adventure yet: High school! Having just moved to the big city, Link is struggling in more ways than one: Relentless bullying, no friends besides his sassy little sister, and to top it all off, he's failing! But when tutoring pits him against the most popular girl in school, he realizes he might not be the only one in need of rescuing.
[This story is a BotW-focused AU with a couple tweaks and some familiar faces'n'places from other games joining along the way!]
