    Summary

    Seven years after the Twilight Invasion, Queen Zelda holds the annual Hylia Masquerade festivals - celebrating the day the gods conceived her only daughter. Or so the official story goes. She must also fend off Dukes and Princes who seek her lands and her bed under the pretense of being her suitors. Some who are unwilling to take no for an answer. Fortunately or unfortunately, the Hero of Twilight has much to say about all this. In his mind, he should - after all, Zelda is his wife.

    Summary

    Link had done so much for her, and the only way Zelda thought she could come close to repaying him was by finally letting him go.

    Confessions ensue.

    Summary

    Sometimes she sent him dreams.
    Zelda was a dragon, flying across the sky at a steady and eternal pace, looping her kingdom in easy, endless circles. Link didn't know what–if any–of the Zelda he loved remained after her draconification. It didn’t matter. Link had faith in his girl. He'd cry in her arms when he had her back, and not a moment sooner.
    He knew she'd done this with no hope, no plan for coming back to him in the end. She could be dramatic like that. It was alright. Her sacrifice gave him the upper-hand over Ganondorf. The upper-hand to fight back. To win. He’d tell her he’d missed her when he held her again…and in his dreams, when she visited them.

    Summary

    He was having deja vu. Deja vu that threw him back to mere years ago. Zero idea of where he was, hunting down shrines under the guidance of a cryptic ghost, and getting his ass kicked by foes he normally wouldn’t bat an eye at. Only this time around, he was also lucky enough to be bestowed with a fever that would flush on and off at a whim, and bouts of nausea that made his stomach recoil at the idea of eating anything more extravagant than an apple.

    And of course, the memory of how he ended up back in this situation.

    Link moves through the events of the Upheaval while remembering the years of peace he and Zelda had between it and the Calamity. TOTK narrative with chapter preludes of post-BOTW moments.
