Like a River's Flow by gerudo__desert

Summary
Back then, they stood on opposite sides of a gulf: Zelda resenting the confines of her childhood, Link trying to pick up the shattered pieces of his. Bridging the gap now means building upon grief and unfamiliarity. But she’s spent so long missing him—she’s sick to death of wasted time.
“I’m right here,” she says, sliding her fingers through his. “Will you tell me what happened?”
Fireplace shadows flicker over his bandaged face. Maybe he’ll refuse. Zelda remembers Epona’s hooves kicking up dust, his proud green tunic disappearing behind the crest of a hill. Maybe all hope for their future died that day—or maybe time and tragedy only helped it grow.
Link’s answer comes slowly, like drawing venom from a wound. “Well,” he murmurs, tightening his grip on her hand, “I got lost.”
The hero searches for something he’ll never regain, the princess becomes a queen, and fate gives them a second chance.

Summary
“I am your…guide, I suppose is the best way to say it,” It says, Saria’s voice smothered by the simmering magic in its words, “I make you comfortable, give you something recognizable, and help you move on to the afterlife, but I’ve grown tired. It’s time for me to retreat to the heavens and report all that I’ve learned to the Three.”
“The Three?” he asks, “You mean-”
“Din, Farore, and Nayru, yes.”
“What does this have to do with me?”
Something like sympathy enters Not-Saria’s eyes, green except for the way the refracting light of the forest turns them kaleidoscopic. “The Sacred Realm cannot be left unsupervised, and they’ve chosen you as my replacement. You’re going to help future Heroes reach their peace.”
OR
The Hero of Time rises from the grave, a skeleton in a suit of armor, and is given one last task.

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.

The Rise Before the Fall by gerudo__desert

Summary
Link steps forward. His face is hard and focused like he’s already on the battlefield. One hand still clutches the sword. The other slides along her jaw. He shutters the violent blue of his eyes and presses his lips to hers.
It’s nothing like Zelda imagined, nothing like their first kiss should be. He’s burning. She’s freezing. When her hands come up around his body there’s no caution or gentleness, just raw desperation. Link shivers breathlessly in a way that has nothing to do with romance and everything to do with his broken ribs. They’re drowning in the rain, in the screams coming from Fort Hateno, in each other.
All she can think is that she waited too long.

Summary
Kohga is extremely proud of the best idea he's ever had, of his quick thinking, of his fiendishness, of his magnanimous-ness. Magnaninosity? Whatever! You see, instead of killing the little girl (the way ~Sooga~ said they should), he decided to raise her as his very own. His Precious Baby Girl.
And look how well that turned out! She's activating the Divine Beasts that are programmed to be on their side. The Goddess power nonsense isn't an issue anymore. The Calamity is going to come and finally the Yiga will have their revenge and their freedom.
The only potential problem is the sword guy. But Kohga's sure his Sweet Darling Daughter will take care of that problem too.Bookmarked by embyrinitalics

Summary
Impa is given a secret assignment from the King just before she is to escort Zelda and Link back to Kakariko Village for the festival of Sahasra’s Pass: make sure their arrangement is not creating “unnecessary distractions.” It seems silly for the King to be so concerned about such an implausible matter. Anyone with two eyes can see they clearly despise each other.
Impa forgets she has three.

The Lesson: A Whumptober Tale by WolfWarden

Summary
[For Whumptober 2021: Day 22 - They Made Me Do It]
Mask swings his arm and his sword arcs accordingly, blood and viscera splattering the ground in his wake. Monster screams ring out around him but he does not fear. Mask has a hard time feeling anything. Emotions always dull when he is present. And Mask can certainly feel him now, sealed across his face, soaked deep into his skin like the stink of blood that Mask can never quite scrub from his tunic.
Beside him -inside him- the Fierce Deity revels. It delights in the power of its strikes, double helix blade slicing through moblins like they were made of chu jelly. The deity spins their body, exalting in the stretch of muscle and breathing deeply.
Mask’s lungs fill with the stench of smoke and death.
They kill as one and a dull pulse ripples through Mask’s mind. It might have been anxiety.

Summary
Her voice is the string of reassurances and warnings whispered in his ear from the moment he opened his eyes.
She calls out for your help.
So he goes, underprepared and overconfident, in the opposite direction of Kakariko Village because a hundred years is long enough and a princess needs his help and he was someone once.
(Or, Link realizes destiny is awfully hard thing to shake.)
