    Bookmarker's Notes

    Nails pretty much every characterization it attempts. Watching Steve try to empathize with and understand people who think in an entirely alien and seemingly irrational way is always fun and thought-provoking, the romance subplot is well executed and feels earned.

    As for what I read ASOIAF fics for, the North, the First Man culture and The Starks sort of sneak their way into the center of the plot, it felt like getting a treat every time.

    Summary

    Ganon’s burning golden eyes were full of hatred. He was hatred incarnate; a monstrosity in every sense of the word.

    And Link would do everything in his power to survive this.

    Link raised one delicate hand and the shining symbol of the Triforce appeared. The light around him swelled, growing brighter and brighter.

    “Zelda,” Link said, clinging to his memories of the person he loved most. “I’ll be waiting for you.”

    Then Ganon crashed down on him; darkness and light mixed together and Link was swept away.

    Snapshots from the lives of Prince Link and Lady Zelda, Heroine of Hyrule. How they met, how their love came to be, and how they saved Hyrule from annihilation.

    (Or: Link is the prince. Zelda is the Champion. They both have a way of taking Hyrule by surprise.)

    Very sweet, liked how it wasn’t fixated on translating every element of the original story into the role-reversal premise.

    Goes comfortably in “Link is extremely good at his job” type of portrayal

    Summary

    Patterns often repeat across pantheons. Thunder gods are not typically decent parents, and we all know how that turned out for Zeus when one of his many bastard children came for his head. Far north of the lands of Greece, another thunder god makes his own mistakes in raising his children. He hits his daughter a bit harder than fate intended.

    Meanwhile, Kratos finds an injured girl in a crater, and things begin to go as no seer ever predicted.
