    Summary

    Twins are an omen of bad luck.

    Link can’t recall when, exactly, he was told this fact. Maybe he was never even told, the whispered superstition something he figured out on his own from overhearing the castle’s servants. Either way, the idea is something he carries with him in his earliest memories.

    How unfortunate, then, that the first thing he usually recalls from childhood is looking into the mirror and finding Zelda.

    __

    Since their descent from Skyloft, all Hylians are blessed by the goddess with a pair of wings.

    All, it seems, except one Hero of Legend.

    Summary

    Adrien smiles as he eats breakfast with Nathalie, smiles as he walks through the halls of his new lycée, smiles as people stop him on the street and tell him time and time again what a "hero" his father was.

    (Adrien wishes he could've been a hero, too. He should've been. Maybe then his father would still be alive.)

    (But he's surviving. Everyone may be treating him as though he were made of glass, but he can still go through the motions, he can prove them wrong, he can still smile.)

    “And you’re… happy,” Marinette spoke carefully, a nervous tilt to her voice, “... right?”

    (Adrien has some things to find out.)

    Summary

    Link is corrupted by Ganondorf as a child, forced by deep-rooted magic to carry out his bidding, knowing that one day, Link will bear the Triforce of Courage. When Zelda is also captured, Ganondorf tries to control her as well so he can take control of all three pieces of the Triforce.

    The Whumptober 2020 prompts turned into one continuous story that I neglected to post on Ao3 last year, but I'm doing it now! See prompt list inside for more specific chapter warnings.

    Summary

    (Formerly called "A Hero Against his own will")

    In a universe where Link was never in the Royal Guard, he's instead a farmer boy in Hateno selling his crops all over Hyrule getting the best prices out of them. One day, however, he finds himself in a position that he never wants to be in after pulling a mysterious sword from its pedestal and so begins his escape from the Royal Family.
