Summary
The hand is numb. The arm is numb. He’s waiting for his heart to feel numb. It seems like a better option than bitter, angry resentment.
Another log falls off the side of another sky island. Watch out below. The hero is feeling things, and some fool put him up high enough to do real damage.

Summary
“You lost the arm.”
Nice to see you too, Link thinks but does not say. I’m also glad I survived. I sure did my best to save everybody and also Zelda and mostly Zelda, almost entirely Zelda, but I let other people help instead of doing it all myself. Are you proud of me?

Friction Ridges by PennamePersona

Summary
He dreams of her taking his hand.
Holding it, yes, intertwining their fingers with dry skin and affection and calluses she’d shown him with fierce, grinning pride when they first developed on her perfect-soft-princess skin. Grasping his palm between both of hers, firmly but gently, as a reminder of every oath they’ve ever sworn.
And also—
His fingertips barely catching the edges of hers when she falls, and that slight friction ricocheting up his arm until it trembles and shatters and the splinters of his bones form the crest of a kingdom he’s been failing since the moment it actually mattered.
She takes his hand, and he lets her. Every single time, he lets her.
