Summary
In an instant, Rafayel flips the two of you over. He holds your wrist and gazes at you. The dim light makes his eyes seem almost deep red. “What is it that you want?” he asks, voice almost a whisper.
Your heart jolts, but you keep your voice steady. “I want you. Tonight.” You pause. “Always.”
His eyes scan yours and he exhales roughly. “…Are you sure?” He looks tortured, yet he still asks.
When the climate of the desert becomes too much to bear, Rafayel decides it's you he needs.

Summary
Maybe Lumine doesn’t need something logical right now. It might be more beneficial to try and specifically target Ajax’s emotions in order to get a good response from him. And it’s not like her and Scaramouche’s possible arrangement has to last forever—it’d be easy to claim they broke up whenever the need arises.
Perhaps… it’s actually worth a shot.
In an attempt to make her ex-boyfriend jealous, Lumine decides to fake date Scaramouche.
(Spoiler: It doesn't go according to plan. She falls for Scaramouche instead.)

Summary
A week later, Stelle has a new plan. She’s been thinking of tactics on her own in her free time, brainstorming ways she can beat Dan Heng. He described his skill level with the game as “not expert, but decent enough to perform adequately.” That, translating from Dan Heng language to Stelle language means he’s really good. Her plan has to be equally as good, if not better, to have a chance at besting him even once.
And she’s come up with one. It’s unorthodox, but she’s never been opposed to that. In fact, that’s what makes it an even more powerful tactic.
Or: Dan Heng can't figure out how Stelle is beating him at chess
(spoiler: she's eating his pieces when he isn't looking)

Summary
When the two of them are no longer in her kitchen, Wanderer enters the kitchen with silent footsteps and arranges the things he’d brought on the table so that she’ll see them easily. He needs to be quick so as to not be caught; just like a wisp of wind, felt one second and forgotten about the next.
And yet, while he should leave immediately afterward, not tread where he isn’t welcome, Wanderer can’t help but stick around, just long enough to see her reaction. He wants to know what she acts like when she’s reminded of his existence, of the person in debt to her who once caused her a myriad of difficulties.
In the end, Wanderer spends his birthday with those he loves.

Summary
Lumine chuckles, lowly and smooth. Then she saunters closer to him and presses the hilt of her blade into his hand, signaling him to take it. His hold is shaky at best, nothing like the confidence she exudes with every swipe of this same weapon.
“I taught you some things, didn’t I?” Lumine says with a slight tilt of her head.
She did, but he’s still new to it all. Still, remembering what she’s taught him, Kabukimono adjusts his grip and stance, and based on Lumine’s expression, it’s not too bad. Her approval is all he ever wants, and he preens under it.
“I’ll work on sword skills a little more with you,” she murmurs, and encases his hand holding the sword with her own. Gently takes the sword back, and then it disappears at her will.
She'll have to pay for it all.

An Ever-Fixed Mark by AMarguerite

Summary
One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.
(A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

Summary
“Link! You’re hurt!”
“I’m fine, Sid—”
“In the mouth of a demon dragon? Absolutely not, you were nearly crunched!” Sidon whirls around. “Quickly! Does somebody have a healing elixir for His Majesty?”
His Majesty.
His Majesty.
And that’s when Zelda realizes—it’s not her Sidon and the Royal Guard are addressing.
It’s Link.
___
Six months after the Upheaval, a weakened and dismayed Link appears in Zora's Domain.
With no sign of Zelda, Impa follows the wish of Hyrule's previous sovereign, and names him king.

Summary
“We never discussed ground rules,” Zelda said matter-of-factly. “And we really should have.”
Link didn’t say anything, waiting for her to continue.
“Obviously, no one can know it’s a ruse,” Zelda said. “If anyone finds out, my father will call off his blessing, and both of us will be back to square one.”
Link nodded.
Zelda suddenly felt too warm, and she decided to shuffle over to her desk, which was a good distance from Link, and dig around for a piece of paper and a quill. “It’ll be good for us to write it out,” she said, more for herself than for Link, who sat on the other side of her desk expectantly.
Why did he look like he was waiting to get marching orders? Like he might have been almost eager for it?
She focused on writing out the first rule. “Rule number one, no one can know.” She penned the words carefully. “We have to look genuinely head over heels for each other.”

Summary
In nearly every way (except the most notable), the Princess of Hyrule was the Goddess incarnate. For that reason alone, it was a little ingenious for the King to offer up his daughter’s hand to whoever was able to pull the sword.
Link hadn’t meant to pull the sword. He planned to watch as his comrades pulled with all their might, perhaps even tease a few about how it was all for the better that the sword didn’t budge, because surely no Princess could ever love their ugly mugs, and then get into a good old-fashioned wrestling match with their bruised egos after one too many jokes. But it hadn’t mattered what he had in mind; Link’s plans be damned. The Goddess had already plucked him out of obscurity and set him along Her own path.

“Doesn’t that deserve a punishment?” he asks silkily.
“What,” you whisper, head spinning and barely daring to breathe, “punishment?”
