Summary
There’s a figure that sits at the grave. He makes no sound. Not as he dies, again and again. Not as he calls for someone to hear. There is no one to hear, except for the body six feet under.

Summary
Holding Superboy’s hand is second nature for Tim. There is no hesitation to reach out, no second-guessing the intentions behind the gesture. He’s familiar with the smoothness of Kon’s hands, of the warmth encompassing his colder fingers, of the steadiness of TTK supporting him as Superboy catches him mid-fall.
With Kon, it’s embarrassingly different.
Or, As a result from his parent's neglect and navigating the manipulate environment of galas, Tim grew up with a dislike towards physical affection. But as with everything, it seems Kon is the exception.

Summary
Ravio has never gone ice skating before, and Link doesn’t bother to hide his groan at this revelation. “Now you’ve done it,” his grumbles are ignored by both parties in the room as Zelda surges out of her seat, eyes glinting in excitement.
“Would you like to learn?”
“That would be nice,” Ravio answers. “But only if Mister Hero comes.” The merchant’s voice reminds Link of honey and smoke; thick and sweet, familiar as the apple orchids recovering on the side of his house.
He looks away, trying to fight the blush off his face. His sister giggles, and he kicks her under the seat.

Summary
Ravio can never tell when Link has nightmares. There’s no obvious physical sign; no tossing of sheets or thrashing limbs, no groaning or sleepy mumbles to indicate something is wrong.
Even in sleep, Link is all subtle, and unless Ravio is lying right next to Link, he will never notice.
Tonight just happens to be different from the usual nightmare

Summary
A groan, from Techno. “You can’t miss it this one time? I mean, it’s not like Tommy…”
A beat. A moment of silence.
“Yeah. I know, mate,” Phil finally says quietly, “but I can’t just…Tommy is expecting me there. I already told him I would be.”
Tommy’s wings drop. Slow, heavy.

Tommy falls. His family tries to save him.

Summary
“What do you think you’d be doin’, if you weren’t a Hero?” Warriors asks him, laying the question out before him and the stars and the fire that crackles.
[...]
“I don’t know,” he blurts, unhelpfully. It’s a lame answer to a loaded question, but he can’t find it in him to even say the word travel; it leaves something bitter at the back of his tongue, something heavy in his gut. Some part of him worries, immensely, about what that means.
The question goes unanswered, really, even in his head. And it haunts him for months.
OR
Where infinitesimal things take up the space of a universe.

Bookmarker's Notes
When Hero is all that you are, how do you leave room to be anything else? Is it okay to be anything other than what the gods demand of you?

Summary
But Link knows everyone who lives here. With all the political unrest from Agahnim's reign, tourists to Hyrule are scarce– and yet, here are one, two, three, four… nine strangers all walking together along the trail. Armed. He has to strain his ears, but he can just manage to catch their voices from this distance.
“...We don’t even know where it’ll be.”
“It seems like there’s going to be somewhere indoors we can stay this time, though."
“And with any luck, the Vet will get us in the castle.”
Link bristles. The castle? The one in the scarf is saying something about an audience with the princess, but Link’s not about to let this slide. The knights are in no state to be protecting her right now, and Link’s not half bad with a sword himself.
If there’s anyone who’s gonna stop them, it’s me!Without thinking past that he leaps out of his hiding place, squarely blocking their path and leveling his blade.
“What do you want with the princess?” he demands.

Summary
Link would be an open book, if it weren’t for the one, sacred secret he keeps locked away within his heart. During his long absences, Zelda is left to ponder what he’s after. Wonder why he always seems so restless, and keeps running off to fight wars which she knows little about.
During these trying times, only one thing is constant. The hero always promises to return, and meet his princess under the tree… (OOT Zelink)
