Summary
Turns out you can't just blow up a planet to make a space-faring species go extinct. Immediately after Samus' mission to ZDR, she finds out that some of the X Parasites survived, and there's no telling where they'll turn up next. And so, though her transformation into a metroid is far from fully halted, she sets out to do what she has always done: finish the mission.
But the X Parasites are not mindless monsters waiting to be gunned down by overwhelming firepower, and if they have their say, the situation will quickly turn into one that an arm cannon can't solve.

Summary
All Samus wanted after ZDR was a quiet mission so she can collect her thoughts and still get paid. On what was supposed to be a simple survey commission, she is ambushed by Space Pirates and crash lands on an uncharted planet, HYL-628. With no information about this planet, and long range communications cut off by the magical field surrounding the solar system, Samus needs to figure out a way to get back to galactic civilization.
Meanwhile, Zelda is doing her best to rebuild Hyrule after years of Ganondorf's destruction and tyranny. Four years have passed since he was sealed away and she sent the Hero of Time back to the past. She has to contend with frayed foreign relations, renegades that used to be loyal to Ganondorf, and now a new threat from the skies that has been abducting people all over the land. The army loyal to her is ill-equipped to handle any of these issues as disaster looms over the nascent and bankrupt Kingdom of Hyrule.
This is a tale of two unlikely characters crossing paths, and how they face disaster together.

Summary
Soren tried and failed multiple times to say something in response, but he averted his gaze instead. Having this sort of conversation with the one person he had been certain Ike would choose all those years ago… it made him ache with emotions he didn’t want to name.
“Ah well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. If he’s anything at all like Ike then you’re probably the center of his whole world. Hard not to fall for a guy like that, huh?” Ranulf chuckled.
Soren frowned. Center of his whole world? Soren had never doubted the fact that Ike loved him, but… the phrasing seemed a bit… much. Surly it was Ike who was the center of Soren’s world, not the other way around. Ike had had so many other options.
Like the cat beside him...
“What are you talking about? To Ike, you were his only option. Don’t… tell me you didn’t know that?” Ranulf asked.---

Summary
With an indolent air, Luke rests his elbows on the railing, leaning forward to better take in the action.
Below the Mandalorian is already in motion, beskar a glinting contrast to black walls and floors. Luke’s eyes trail him as he moves, bitter and gluttonous. Watching as Din takes stock of the concrete half-walls, helmet tilting upward to survey the turrets above. Exploring terrain before the simulation is initiated, his professionalism unaffected by the tension that still lingers beneath armor.
Compartmentalization is a skill Luke learned involuntarily; a way to cope with the horror that was once his daily existence. Din, by contrast, embodies the very practice of it. That rigid separation between self and other.
The Mandalorian’s inner world is so vast, Luke could get lost in it.
