    Summary

    Link frowned, unable to face the jolly bard. Kass had known him before he knew himself, passed on to him his own legends until he understood his own myth. If anyone besides Zelda would know, wouldn’t it be him? “You said it was her love for me that awakened her power.” Kass waited for him to continue. “Did I love her back?”

    “You clearly cared about her a great deal, Link, probably more than anything else in the kingdom,” Kass said to him quietly.

    Link set his jaw. He was afraid of that answer, afraid of what he had known deep down was the truth. “But did I love her back?” He asked, unwilling to accept such a vague answer. He needed the truth. He needed to hear it.

    Kass clicked his beak, perhaps impatiently. Link began to tap his foot with his nerves. “Not the way she loved you,” Kass said quietly. “Not then, to my master’s knowledge.”

    Link swallowed hard. Anticipating Kass’s answer had not made the words easier for him to hear.

    Damn that court poet, Link thought. Oh, how he would have loved to see Link pine helplessly now.

    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.

    Summary

    Inspired by Christyyeee's Art

    He missed all the signs, everything pointing to the fact that the woman he - or rather, Anya - had chosen for the role of Mrs. Forger was anything more than your average civilian.
    A near-fatal error. One that was inexcusable for a spy of his caliber.
    The only reason he was still alive (for the time being) was because she stopped the moment she saw his face.
    That had to mean something...right?

    Summary

    Anya looks like she might not need her father much at all anymore.

    Twilight does as any self-respecting spy would: he spirals.
