Dreams and Draconification by RunningNinja

Summary
Sometimes she sent him dreams.
Zelda was a dragon, flying across the sky at a steady and eternal pace, looping her kingdom in easy, endless circles. Link didn't know what–if any–of the Zelda he loved remained after her draconification. It didn’t matter. Link had faith in his girl. He'd cry in her arms when he had her back, and not a moment sooner.
He knew she'd done this with no hope, no plan for coming back to him in the end. She could be dramatic like that. It was alright. Her sacrifice gave him the upper-hand over Ganondorf. The upper-hand to fight back. To win. He’d tell her he’d missed her when he held her again…and in his dreams, when she visited them. -
Things Snowballed From There by RunningNinja

Summary
Twilight Princess Zelda decides to escape for a secluded holiday vacation at the newly opened Snowpeak Lodge. Unbeknownst to her, the hero of twilight works there. Actually, he sort of built it from the ground up. He just needed to keep busy after losing Midna, and things kind of snowballed from there. So Zelda settles in at a guest room at the lodge for a relaxing and rural week away from pressure and prying eyes. But there's a certain set of blue eyes she can't quite keep away from….

Summary
“How could this have happened to me? …I did everything I was supposed to do. I lived the life I was supposed to live. I….I don't understand this failure!” Fresh sobs racked Zelda and she covered her face, turning away from both her appointed knight and the Goddess stature. “Oh, what have I done?”
Link looped his arm through Zelda's, pulling her to her feet. Her breath hiccupped and she leaned on him, then into him, burying her face in his blue tunic.
“Come with me, Princess,” Link said. “It’s not on the royal itinerary, but I'm adding a stop for us. Somewhere no thoughts of duty or calamity will bother us. A place to forget about all this, for a time.”
Zelda stopped crying, surprised. Link was…improvising? As fond as she had become of her knight in recent weeks, she hadn't known him to stray from the plan set out by her father. Dumbfounded, she took his hand and he led her out of the spring.

Summary
I can’t be the only one who watched the Silencer French-dub and then yelled “KWAMI SWAP” during Lady and Chat’s rooftop conversation, despite having no idea what they were saying. A swap didn’t happen, so I wrote it. Spoilers for Silencer. Reveal fic, but not like you think.

Summary
New Year’s Eve in Hyrule Castle is a night for celebration. For embracing the season of winter, and thinking on one’s hopes for the year to come. Dances are danced, wine is drunk, and wishes are sent to the flame in the hope that they will come true.
A shame then, that Zelda doesn’t believe in wishes.

Hands Off the Princess! by Mailrebel for maitiu

Summary
There’s a new formality in Hyrule: Link, the young, accomplished hero, is no longer allowed to make physical contact with the esteemed Princess Zelda. It is simply unbecoming of their positions. Naturally, the hero in question goes out of his way to awkwardly keep his distance from the princess at all times.
It’s not like he wants to break the law, after all. (ST Zelink)

Android Link caring for child Zelda, Zant as the abusive dad. Very compelling in it's use of Android POV and blending elements from another fandom.
