Skyward Sword Summer Camp AU!!!!!

Ahh, this one I'm looking forward to. I've got a beta for this one, too. @spices28 , my beloved! @ladyhoneydee asked me about this one, too! Hehe!

Skyward Sword is my favorite Zelda game. I've had the chance to write a canon-compliant story and I just can't get enough. I've done one AU, and I've always wanted to do a summer camp AU, and I think that Skyward Sword would be the perfect cast.

Basically, Camp Faron is a luxurious summer camp for the wealthy citizens of Hyrule. The camp is funded by incredibly wealthy benefactors, the most influential one being Groose's father. The camp's director, Mr. Gaepora, runs the all-summer camp for teens and awards a scholarship that sponsors a student from a local boys' home to attend the camp for the summer. Zelda (a sophomore) is the director's daughter, of course, and Groose (a junior) has had a crush on her since they met at camp several summers before.

Enter Link (a sophomore), this year's summer camp scholarship recipient. He's cute, quiet, introverted, and non-confrontational, so you can imagine how Groose and his cronies pounce on that. Zelda, however, takes pity on Link, and begins a sweet friendship with the "needy kid" that enrages the already jealous Groose. Shenanigans ensue.

I've already got several ideas from my own summer camp counseling days, so I am WICKED excited! I'm wanting to finish or nearly finish the fic before I start posting, so be on the lookout for it later this spring/early summer!

In one timeline, Zelda cries. She spends her late teenage years and young adulthood sobbing, emotionally a widow by the design of her own plans. She spends years heartbroken and mourning the Hero she loved and sent away in hopes of restoring the childhood stolen from him.

In another timeline, Zelda is confused. She thought the fairy boy who helped her save her kingdom was her friend, and that he would always be there to play with her. She spends her entire youth wondering why her Hero is so haunted, and why he can't look at her without seeming like he's about to cry.

In both timelines, the kingdom needs a Prince-Consort and an heir, not just a young Queen pining over a boy from the forest, so she agrees to an arranged marriage. She marries a man she does not love, and bears a child, and tries to be the best Queen that she possibly can.

In one timeline, her love and loss are not a secret, it becomes a common saying that the rains beginning to flood the land are a reflection of the tears their Queen sheds for her long lost love.

In another timeline, she pines silently for her Hero, simply watching in heartbreak as his inner demons drive him mad until he is merely a shade of his former self and disappears.

In both timelines, her heir grows, marries, and has a daughter of their own.

In one timeline, this princess - not the Sacred Princess but one of the sacred line nonetheless - grows up with stories of her grandmother's life as a Sheikah and the Hero she loved and lost. She grows up with stories of how when you fall in love, you should hold on tight, never let it go, and never waste a moment with them. As the flood waters rise, she swears she won't make the same mistake as her grandmother made. She won't let a second with her love be wasted, so she runs away from the palace, following the sailor she loves out to sea.

In another timeline, that same princess grows up with firm and unwavering expectations of what her royal duty is and how exactly she is expected to see that through. She grows up with a grandmother who married for duty despite her love being right there, knowing that she too is to marry an appropriate suitor when she comes of age. It never even crosses her mind that she could have fought to be with her love.

In both timelines, this princess bears the next Sacred Princess.

In one timeline, the next Zelda is born free as the waves beneath her. Her name is Zelda as her mother couldn't bear to break that far with tradition, but such isn't a name fitting for a pirate, so her middle name is all she ever knows. She grows up free and feral, sunkissed and smirking, allowed to be wild and go wherever the wind takes her.

In another timeline, the next Zelda is born as the sun begins to set over Hyrule. She grows up sheltered in a palace of rules and expectations. She learns to hide both smiles and tears, nevermind any improper impulses that might cross her mind. She grows up as a proper princess, internally screaming for anything more than the darkness around her.

In both timelines, Zelda finds her Hero. She finds Link, or rather he finds her, and they don't let go this time. In this lifetime they will get their happy ending, together, and they will fight anyone who tries to take it away from them.

(Aka: my brain realized that both TP and WW are next lifetime direct sequels to OoT. And now all I can think is that TP Zelda got ALL the anxiety in the timeline split, and that if Tetra ever met Midna they would get along like a house fire in that there would be no survivors)
