Adventure of Link - oneshot

This one is technically the original zelda and adventure of link, but it happens after the both of them so technically it’s more aol. Anyway I love classic Link he’s such a sweetie and dork :)

————————————————————

Link padded softly across the courtyard, boots only making the quietest of scuffing noises as he went.

His sword slapped lightly against his back as he walked along, the belt holding it in place the slightest bit loose. Link paused to tighten it, peering around a corner as he fiddled with the strap for anyone around. Seeing nothing but the moonlight shining on the pathway, he continued on his way towards the gate that led to the drawbridge.

“You’re leaving already?”

Link paused in his steps, turning at the soft voice.

Princess Zelda the First, (the Sleeping Princess as the people had always referred to her as), stood in a doorway behind him, her red-brown hair silhouetted by the faint moonlight.

Link stared, momentarily struck speechless.

Then he gave a small nod in answer to her question. “I’ve already been here too long.”

Zelda frowned, her eyebrows creasing further.

“You’ve only been here three days,” she said, dismay in her voice as she came closer to him. “Can’t you at least stay the night?”

Link looked at the disappointment on her face and almost said yes.

But then screaming and chants filled his mind, monsters baying for his demise always a few steps behind, storming the castle, going through anyone in their way to get to him and his blood...

Link lowered his gaze.

“It’s safer this way.”

Zelda came close enough so that he could better make out her features, perpetual shadows under her eyes from her long sleep, barely-visible freckles that almost seemed to sparkle in the moonlight. Eyes so warm and red that he’d always wanted to tell her how they reminded him of the last rays of the sun when it set for the day, draping the entire landscape in a soft crimson light.

Yeah. It was definitely safer this way.

“I guess I can’t stop you,” Zelda murmured, rubbing her arm. She looked back up and pulled something out from behind her back. “You forgot your cap again. It was in the hall outside your room, I found it yesterday, actually”

Link reached out and took the green cloth, smiling as he placed it back on his head where it belonged. He hadn’t even noticed it was gone, being so preoccupied with leaving quietly as he’d been. It smelled freshly washed, and he noticed at least one new neatly sewed patch where a hole had been.

Zelda smiled as he put it on, and Link felt his heart twitch.

He bit his lip nervously and took a step towards her, but she did the same, and they were suddenly much closer to each other then either of them had meant to get.

They both froze, faces only inches apart.

Link’s heart thudded in his chest, mind flashing back to when he’d first woken the princess and she’d pressed a grateful kiss to his cheek. He’d been so overcome with relief and leftover adrenaline he’d let her, and had almost considered kissing her back when his brain had kicked in and reminded him that this was a princess and you don’t just go around kissing those.

She hasn’t ever kissed him again, and Link has chalked it up to them both being overly emotional at the time, but he had to admit he still felt that spark when she was around.

And it was making it awfully hard for him to leave at the moment.

He took in a steadying breath, steeling himself. He couldn’t stay. The curse in his veins made him too much of a hazard to stay in one place for too long, and despite how much he loved being around the princess (both of them), he had to leave.

He needed to keep them safe.

“Thank you for my cap, Princess,” Link said quietly, adjusting the rim a bit. “And I’m sorry. I can’t stay.”

He pulled back and turned to go, but Zelda caught his hand and stopped him.

He froze and turned around, giving her an inquiring look.

She looked almost as surprised as he did, opening her mouth, then hesitating. Then she pulled him into a hug, Link going stiff from the unfamiliar sensation of being wrapped in someone’s arms without said arms trying to kill him in some way.

“Stay safe. And come back, okay?” she whispered, and Link nodded, not sure what to say.

Then she pulled back and looked at him in a way that had Link’s heart thud weirdly in his chest, her eyes meeting his and sending a jolt through him.

And before he could think too hard about what he was doing, he lifted her hand up and pressed a featherlight kiss to the back.

Then he pulled away and abruptly turned, nearly running out the gate as his face flamed with heat.

Hand kissing was something people did all the time, especially in court, but Link certainly wasn’t one of the people who did it. He’d never been good at physical affection, anything more then a handshake always felt awkward to initiate, and while he liked being hugged, it certainly wasn’t something he was good at.

What if he’d overstepped? What if only court people were allowed to kiss the princess’s hand?

What if Zelda hadn’t wanted him to?!

He ran clear to the drawbridge without even a glance behind him, but as he was about to dart across he hesitated, peeking back just once at Zelda.

She was still standing in the same spot where they’d parted, holding the hand he’d kissed close to her chest. He could just make out the smile on her face, and the faint blush that accompanied it, and as she saw him look back she gave him a small wave.

Huh. Maybe he hadn’t overstepped after all.

He felt his mouth turn up in a small smile itself as his own blush still warmed his face.

Then he left over the drawbridge, an extra skip in his step as he disappeared into the woods on the other side.

sapphireprinces5 said: can I just say that the fact you called it Behind The Story as BTS is so genius and the best chef’s kiss of the century. reading this made me tear up like I miss the two so much and to see them happy forever was just 🤧 it was so cool to see how the stories developed and your thoughts as you wrote them. thank you for giving this to us - probably one of the best gifts i’ve ever received as a reader. amazing, you’re amazing

mochiieberry said: JUST READ THE UPDATE FOR BITCHIN AND FINALLY I CAN START MY DAY(ignore the fact it’s 3 am :) ). But honestly after reading BITCHIN I questioned what happened afterwards and thank you for writing the behind the scenes and giving us 10 year update!!

ggukcangetit said: oh my gosh i was missing bitchin' and you posted the most incredible companion piece. also love how its called beyond the story (BTS) so sneaky rose (¬‿¬) you really spoilt us with the connect i am sad and happy so thanks for that. lastly, just wanna appreciate how much effort, hard work, and care you devote to your stories, characters, and readers. since you are a LOT younger than me imma go ahead and say this- uWu rose is the best liddol bean in the world. okay bye.

Anonymous said: I just wanted to say thank you for the extra bitchin' content! It's one of my favorite fics ever (mainly bc I am a woman in stem who takes shit from no man and I hardcore identify with yn) and to see how much you love the fic and genuinely get excited about the little details you slip in to make it more enjoyable for you to write just makes my heart !!! bc i love nothing more than hearing writers talk about their works with pride. love you lots and thank you for always putting out great content!

Anonymous said: Yara refusing to put a label on her relationship after 10 years sends me. For one thing, as an independent woman who is terrified of commitment, I can 100% relate lol. The titles she gives him instead killed me as well. Her outrage at the crustaceans was also so something I’d do. Like “no ma’am my best friend ain’t sign up for this and as far as I’m concerned she’s gonna get exactly what she wants”. Yara is my spirit animal.

Anonymous said: I have a lot of questions. #1- How dare you? Bitch I am sobbing. I love those Bitchin fools and I ain’t ever gonna stop loving them!

lee-u-ne12 said: I may have giggled one too many times during my "beyond the story: bitchin'" reading. Dammit it's just so cute! I found it charming how instead of just giving us an update on the characters you included some commentery on each chapter! Ngl i was rlly sad earlier but this made me smile :)

Anonymous said: I definitely noticed the sock thing and thought it was stupidly cute (like this entire fic tbh) and djjdjdjdjjd I wish I had commented on it when I first read it! I loved the behind the stuff and loved all the reasoning as to why you didn't want y/n to be a 'popular guy gave me confidence' type of character 👏 honestly loved it all thank you!!!!

TWDG S4 EP 4 HIGHLIGHTS AND THE GREATEST BAMBOOZLE OF ALL TIME.

I'm kind of late to the party cuz I couldn't play the episode till now and I basically used way less social media trying to avoid spoilers so thanks walking dead. So yeah. Its a long post and I want it here, so I can maybe read it years later and cry like a little bitch.

-

Violet: fuck, you...

me: indeed, fuck. me.

-

*James gets pissed off at Clem for making AJ kill Lilly*

me: I DID THIS FOR YOU.

-

*meets violet*

me: fuck yes boo, ur alive and u here for me.

-

*Clem has a wholesome chat with boo*

me: *feels Light and happy and knows for sure its not for long*

-

*Clem negatively answers a little angry at Violet suggesting Texas as the new name for boarding school*

me: pls don't tell me the real villain here is going to be Clem, because she will lose it or some shit.

*Clem smiles at Texas 2 suggestion*

*me happy knowing Clem is fine and is just a little tired*

-

*hears the night will be over soon being sung*

me: omg omg omg omg is Sophie actually alive? Omg maybe Minera never killed her and Minnie actually still had a heart OMG. (BOY WAS I WRONG)

-

Tenn: you're dying

Minnie: yes yes I am, I'm finally going someplace better and I want u with me

me:

-

*Minnie chops Clem with the axe she used to kill walkers*

me: JFJSKSOFNDOSO

-

*literally seconds later Violet dies because I didn't trust AJ making calls*

me: FISBJEOGJSOAPFJKSLSKF FUCK ME

-

*RESTARTS THE WHOLE EPISODE JUST TO SAVE MY BOO, while wondering whether this choice will make aj into a murderer or a psycho and ill have to change my choice just so I'm a good parent*

-

*gets to the same scene again everything is fine and then the little mountain climbing scene*

me: fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, I swear to god if she gets bit ill fucking kill myself.

*seconds later Clem gets bit*

*me in denial*: haha her boots are as hard as steel, and the zombie bit the beginning of the shoe not the cutten place where the wound is at.

*Clem verifies she's been bit*

me: *starts crying for the majority of the remaining episode* (like I cried so fucking mucg and I felt sick, I had to take a break and I felt so dead inside during it)

-

When AJ and Clem got into the barn, I still had hopes that like we have time and shit, (I even ended up replaying the sequence just to change my choice from kill Clem and let her become a walker because I thought what if that way she gets a chance to live and I don't end up accidentaly killing her) but everytime I'd see Clems skin getting whiter and whiter and I'd end up crying more and more. It was fucking awful. And then the whole lessons thing. Fucking hell. And when they cut the part where AJ just swings his axe at Clem I was like: don't do this to me, fuck no. Fuck off everyone.

-

And then I cry because its the Ranch bit and I'm like I don't want to do this anymore and then I see AJ traumatised and crying and then I cry and I cry once again they have their bonding moment.

-

And then it just cuts to AJ fishing and I didn't manage to get even 1 fish, but then it hit me, Clementines hat is still missing and I cried once again upon seeing it ROWING MERRILY DOWN THE STREAM (IF U SEE A LITTLE MOUSE DON'T FORGET TO SQUEAK) yes I did sing the E3 trailer song a little and I cried even more because of it. And I thought for sure Clem was dead, but I still had so much dumb hope that, hey maybe she's alive, hahaha, but like big part of me thought that it was not true and it never will be. And then TAKE US BACK starts playing and I start to cry again and fuck me. For the whole song I crossed my fingers hoping it wouldn't end just like that and it didn't. AJ got back and then CLEMS VOICE SAYS GOOFBALL and I thought oh no, he's hallucinating isn't he? And THEN I FUCKING SEE HER WITH THE LEG CUT OFF AND I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY I START TO CRY AGAIN.

I cried.

I cried so fucking much after the whole bridge part like Holy shit. And then everything turned out to be okay. Clem was happy, I was happy and just before putting Clems hat on the table I thought : everything has a beginning and everything has an end, right? And I teared up a little, but honestly I liked the way her story ended. Even tho I went through a lot of pain (I'm sure all of us did) UHHHH. I was so angry at Minnie that I wanted her to commit reverse birth :( but it's not really her fault, so then I wanted Lilly to commit reverse birth, but then. Once again. I realised its not her fault either. It's the fucking zombies and the way world is. Would Lilly kidnap kids if no apocalypse? Probably not. Would have Violet had a healthy relationship with Minnie? Maybe. Would have Clementine lead a happy life? Maybe. Would have AJ even been born into this world? Who knows. Would have Lee just ended up being a criminal never meeting Clem and maybe changing for the worse? Well, maybe. WOULD HAVE CLEM EVEN GOT A CHANCE TO MEET EVERYONE AND GET JUST AS CLOSE WITH EVERYONE? I sure fucking hope so. Lmao. There's so fucking much, I would create wattpad just to write what I feel about TWDG right now, cuz I feel a fucking lot.

-

I ended up writing a whole paragraph up there and I messed up the "highlights" order so yeah.

-

Clementine: I'm glad I trusted you to make the right calls, otherwise I'd be dead.

*me while crying*: the 30minute replay of the beginning was worth it. (or was it, maybe Clementine would just say, gomen goofball for not trusting you, I'm glad u made the right call or smt)

-

*me going through what Clem taught me*

"if your grandma is dying, stop watching cartoons." I fuckin died

-

Also this was indeed a greatest and worst bamboozle I had to go through. But I'm not mad. I'm thankful that Clem didn't die, because I'm more than sure I would have been extra depressed for at least a week or month.

So, thank you Skybound, Telltale. I fucking love you guys. ❤️
