    Summary

    "Oh, man." Ryuji shudders when the ad break airs, dropping his head into his hands. "Just when I thought ma' forgot about it, too."

    Ann's eyes stay on the television screen, the memories and stress from last year now fresh in her mind. The constant phone calls she heard from her parents in the living room, the hysterical voices on the other line.

    "What? What tragedy, what happened?"

    It's amazing how Morgana spent so much time in the human subconscious, and yet doesn't know about it. He should, especially if he was there last year.

    "It was a freak disappearance, straight out of a horror show." Ryuji reaches forward to mute the TV, slumping into the couch. "A first year just vanished into thin air one day. Vanished. No one ever saw him again."

    Summary

    As soon as they disembarked, fog surrounded them and a hot breeze whipped up. It almost reminded Zelda of Korok Forest and yet was utterly unlike it too.

    A man's voice rang out: "Hylia's Chosen. Sacred Princess. Welcome to Eventide. I am Monk Korgu Chideh, and in the name of Goddess Hylia, I offer this trial to you, Hero. Across this island are three orbs. Return them to their pedestals and the path will open for you."

    The fog vanished. Zelda blinked, feeling strangely dizzy and- hold on. Her clothes felt strange. She couldn't sense the Great Fairies' blessings, they just felt normal now, and...And...Her bow and arrows! They were gone. But how?

    Link was frowning at the slate. "All our weapons are gone," he said. "And our food, clothes and elixirs." He scowled as he attached the slate to his belt. "I hate this monk."

    Even the Master Sword was missing from his back. This monk certainly had some nerve.

    Summary

    Twenty years ago, Midoriya Hisashi walked out on his wife and Quirkless child. Three days ago, Midoriya Inko received a phone call informing her of his demise and when his funeral would take place.

    Sometimes you're a 25 year old war veteran, making a difference one day at a time in a post-All For One Japan that's still feeling the repercussions of your high school days. Other times you're simply the forgotten child of a deadbeat, left to clean up your father's messes because he was too much of a coward to take any responsibility.

    And now, you're a full time big brother, because the biggest mess left behind was the child your father replaced you with.

    Now with a TV Tropes page!

    Summary

    The first timeline ends in an elegy.

    The second becomes a requiem.

    The third timeline carries the same refrain as the elegy and the requiem. It’s an encore of the same chorus, of the well-worn melody that sings of a reluctant hero and a princess of spies.

    Yet the verses of the third timeline are different enough to change the whole song.

    -----
    A canon-compliant fic about what happens to Link and Zelda after the time reversal at the end of OoT.

    (Written to accompany the Wisdomverse Zelda comics, though this can also be read as a standalone fic.)

    Summary

    Ren did it. He won. He defied fate itself and beat the rigged game. Through sheer will power alone, he pulled through and ended the False God's life, putting a bullet through its head for good measure.

    But at what cost?

    His teammates, his family, everyone who he knew, everyone he ever cared about... They died, because he wasn't good enough, because he wasn't strong enough.

    Igor gives him a chance. A chance to right his wrongs, to help another fight their own fate, to defy their own fate. He takes it with only a second's hesitation, determined to save those he could not save before.

    But does he have the will power left in him to succeed? Not even he knows the answer to that. But maybe that's exactly what he needed.

    A fresh start. A fresh game that was ripe for rigging, and he'll be damned if he allows it to be one-sided this time around. He'll make sure no one suffers like he did...

    No one.
