There is No Version of This Story Where He Lives by Raylin_James_Shire

Summary
Somehow, impossibly, he looks directly at You. And you know he has never hated anything more. The Hero didn't need to die. You could have changed it, so many times. But you knew before you wrote it that their story would be a tragedy, and so a tragedy it became.
Idk I started drawing Orville holding Link's body and started thinking about how Orville would feel if he knew how often I write him and Link as a tragedy and this happened.

Link falls, desperate to save Zelda. But the Surface holds secrets of the past, and more belong to him than he ever knew or wanted. The land will never forget, and he will have to remember.
He is not Hylia's first hero, nor her second.

Abandon the Gods Before They Can Abandon You by Raylin_James_Shire

Summary
Long ago, longer than mortals can imagine, there was a man named Link (Later, there was another. And another, and another, and—). Part of his soul had grown bitter with resentment at the destiny that had dictated his suffering. That part was torn apart from him by the gods and left to whither away.
What the gods did not account for was that resentment, left ignored, only grows.
Sky finds himself suddenly and violently thrown into the back of his own head. He no longer has any control of his body. He’s trapped in the darkest corners of his own mind. Sky screams at the Deity, trying to understand what’s happened, but he doesn’t answer.
He has a job to do, after all. He hadn’t lied to Sky, he would do his best to end the curse. And he would do whatever it takes, even if he had to go through a hero or two.

Summary
"Regardless of whether you are humans or gods... truly, you use me whenever it suits you."
He had lived (died) this cycle countless times. He didn't know how many eons it had been (ghosts had no need for time, after all), how many times he'd watched his own reincarnated spirit fight the same battle. Did it matter anymore, how things had started? (After the water has stilled, does it still matter that a stone had been tossed at all?)

Summary
Wei Wuxian can barely stand on suibian. His legs are shaky, he’s panting heavily, and his control is abysmal. When Jiang Cheng manoeuvres to the left, twisting his body sharply to avoid getting hit by a branch, Wei Wuxian almost careens off his sword when he tries to replicate the move. For the first time, Jiang Cheng is the one to prove victorious. He’s—better than Wei Wuxian.
“Go away,” Jiang Cheng tells him. “You’re going to get yourself killed.”
Wei Wuxian laughs, teetering on the verge of hysterics. “Wouldn’t be the first time.”
Or: Jiang Cheng tries to fix his relationship with Wei Wuxian while coming to terms with the fact that now, since Wei Wuxian is in Mo Xuanyu's body, the brother from his memories may be long gone.

Summary
He tells his sister, "There's a little boy in Yiling with no parents and he's in trouble. We have to go and find him."
His sister smiles and says, "This is a good story, A-Cheng. Tell me more."
"It's not a story," he says. He's frustrated by his own childish petulance, but he can't seem to stop it. "I'm from the future. I know."
His sister laughs, and he glares, and then she clears her throat and stops laughing, but still has a small, indulgent smile. "Of course, A-Cheng," she says. "And what's this little boy's name?"
"Wei Ying," he says, and his sister's smile freezes. "His name is Wei Ying, and his parents are Zangse Sanren and Wei Changze, and something bad has happened to them. Wei Ying is alone in Yiling and he needs help," he insists.
Jiang Cheng starts again from the beginning.
