May the Light Shine Ever by pseudocitrus
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
04 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
He was exceedingly polite. An exemplary guard. He followed her everywhere, as close and as silent as a shadow. Despite his slight stature, the Sword that Seals the Darkness—a breathtakingly storied weapon—glinted perfectly over his shoulder at all times, like it belonged nowhere else. He lived up to the promise of every legend ever recorded in Hyrule’s history.
“What’s there to think?” she said finally. “He’s perfect.”
And she couldn’t stand him.
Pre-BOTW oneshots involving Zelda and Link reckoning with their destinies, together. Includes: one in which Zelda asks Link to teach her his way of signing; one where they get stuck in a cave; and one where there's a big dance at the castle.

Summary
Achilles cannot imagine what this prince from the surface might be like. Raised by Demeter! A young god with his father’s wrath and his mother’s impetuousness, fuelled by his grandmother’s calculated spite. He thinks of the swathes of dead that disembark Charon’s ferry still shivering and huddled together as though their shades could hold warmth.
Perhaps the Zagreus who has grown up with cold eternal is as icy and cruel as Demeter herself. Perhaps he will bring nothing but strife. Olympian history is full of sons overthrowing their fathers, after all.

Summary
There are many nuances to the culture of the realm of the dead that Achilles has yet to fully grasp. As with all things, though, better understanding does come with time.

Summary
They love him because he gives them what to destroy. They won't stop destroying just because they love him. That's no secret, though. There are no secrets between them, no surprise attacks, certainly not wrapped around his hands like this.
Zagreus spends time with gloves that want to be just like him.

Summary
Zagreus stops in front of him, head tilted up to look at him. There’s a cut on his face, and without thinking Thanatos reaches out, runs his thumb over it to soothe it shut so at the least he does not bleed.
Zagreus is still looking at him, quiet.
“Zagreus?”
“You came,” Zagreus finally says. He smiles; it makes all the flames that curl around his laurels spark. There is such a soft and tender pleasure in his words. “After all this time.”

it'll have to drown me before it can breathe easy by LuckyDiceKirby

Summary
Zagreus hardly sleeps anymore, but when he does, he finds his body does remember: all the ways Meg has killed him, the whip wrapped around his ankle, her heel against his throat. Thanatos’s hands cradling the back of his head, dragging him gently down.
It’s almost lonely in the house. They don’t touch him then.

Summary
“Beloved,” Than breathes. Humming quietly, he adjusts his hold, so his hand is higher on Zag’s thigh. Than tilts his head, catching a kiss meant for his jaw with his lips. It’s a fleeting, lovely thing—there and gone so quickly Zagreus feels bereft. “Are you sure?” he whispers, a dangerous edge to his voice. “Do you know what you’re asking for when you plead for me to sate your hunger?”
Than and Zag have a rare moment to themselves.

Summary
He's late, he realizes.
There's a lot of blood here, he realizes a moment later. Not the blackened stains of shades temporarily banished, but the dark-red and glistening of mortal blood, spattered in desperate arcs across the grass, staining the water where the River Lethe pools. Across the chamber, it shifts to a trail of blood, the imprint of bare footprints burned into the darkening liquid.
There. There, slumped with his back against a green-glowing infernal trove, an ethereal sword buried in his chest, a pool of blood slowly spreading beneath him—Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld, his warmth and light so faded that Thanatos didn't even realize he was still in the chamber.

Summary
Hades places one hand over Zag’s head, careful to make the touch soft, barely noticeable. He doubts he’s ever done this, pat his son on the head. Or touched him at all in a manner that did not hurt him. Not in years at least.
(I’m sorry, he does not say.)
With his other hand, he snaps his fingers.
Or: Zagreus is cursed to forget each time he dies.

Summary
It was easily the most predictable hit he’d ever delivered. If the knee hadn’t telegraphed it, the wind up would have. He’d leaned back, leaned forward, and sent the sloppiest punch of his vigilante career at the face of a man who should’ve seen it coming from a mile away.
Bruce’s head snapped back with a soft, surprised oomph. He took one step backward, regaining his balance on one overly-smooth loafer as blood began to gush down his face.
Dick stared at him, unable to speak. Unable to look away as Bruce put a hand to his cheek, probing at the bloody gash like he’d never been hit in the face before. The hit he hadn’t seen coming.

Summary
Alfred holds out the tray with hands that tremble, ever so slightly. He’s too much of a professional to drop it, to spill the glass of water and the tiny mountain of pills in a paper cup, and yet. The tray wavers. The water slops dangerously close to the edge. The pills roll around in the cup, dislodged from their neat stack.
