    Summary

    Impa is given a secret assignment from the King just before she is to escort Zelda and Link back to Kakariko Village for the festival of Sahasra’s Pass: make sure their arrangement is not creating “unnecessary distractions.” It seems silly for the King to be so concerned about such an implausible matter. Anyone with two eyes can see they clearly despise each other.

    Impa forgets she has three.

    Summary

    What really happened five years ago was exactly what Mineru had warned Zelda about. Forbidden things cannot be undone so easily.

    So her sacrifice remains.
    But so does he.

    (Zelda never returns after the battle with the Demon King. Link is determined to bring her back, no matter what it takes or where it takes him. So when the Light Dragon starts to dive into the Depths, which have remained dark and uncharted since the Gloom faded away, he prepares to descend as well.)

    Summary

    Emma Emmerich is not a perfect victim. She is not palatable. She is not comfortable or easy. It would have been simpler if she'd died. More convenient.

    But she's didn't. Emma Emmerich lost her dignity, her job, a kidney, and the use of her legs. But she's still around.

    Now she's going to make it everyone else's problem.

    Or: The big Emma lives fic. Updates weekly.

    Summary

    His first inkling of what “getting older” really means – not in a distant, theoretical sense, but as something tangibly matter of fact; something he can feel, in everything from his bones to the tingling-numb tips of his fingers – comes more gently than he might have expected.

    Summary

    A cyborg's left hand carries a wealth of information that may be of interest to any cybernetics specialist worth their salt. However not all of it is combat data and statistics. If you care to look hard enough, you may find the person buried under all the metal among the cold numbers.

    Summary

    A mission gone wrong throws Snake into a temporal distortion that gives him another shot at getting it right, but there are more dangers lurking around every corner than he'd initially thought. With Otacon on the outside of the distortion and thus unaware that it's happening, Snake finds himself on his own when it comes to solving it and putting things back to normal—unless he can convince Otacon of what's happening and, more importantly, to help him through every iteration even when it means sending him into the same perilous mission over and over again.

    Summary

    “There was a scenario presented to the public once by a famous philosopher. He said, ‘What if you discovered that in the real world, your brain was lying in a vat of nutrients, connected to a device that displayed the world you see and feel around you? If the world you perceive as reality, is, in fact, only a delusion?’”

    “What he was getting at was, even if whatever you see, feel and think is fake, if that’s what you’re seeing, feeling, and thinking—does it even matter?”

    Summary

    Sam doesn't survive Colorado, but his memories remain. Raiden deals with the consequences.

    “Y’know that assassination was really Sundowner’s operation,” Sam dubiously offers the clarification. “I was just there to stop you.”
    “And look how well that worked out in the long run,” Raiden retorts, pulling open the door to the morgue and stepping back into more stable temperatures. “You’re dead.”

    Summary

    Raiden wakes up in the middle of the night, finding himself stranded somewhere in Auckland, New Zealand and a part of his memory is missing. As he returns to his family, he is promptly kicked out by Rose and is told to never come back again. Confused and hurt, he returns to Maverick in the US, as he has nowhere else to go.
    To his surprise, he runs into his former enemy and now ally (?) Samuel Rodrigues - Jetstream Sam there and is told that Sam is basically replacing him at his old job.

    With a completely messed up memory, Raiden is trying to hide from everyone that his relationship with Rose is over and that he is all by himself now with no support, trying to eradicate the rest of Desperado and similar PMCs who cause terror all across the globe. He is annoyed but also confused as to why of all people, Sam is trying to stay by his side and help him.
    Sam figures out that something is seriously wrong with Raiden and tries to make him aware of what's going on, but Raiden doesn't want to hear it.
    Not until Sam becomes an important part of his life and it becomes unthinkable of them ever being separate again, despite all of Raiden's issues that make their relationship rather difficult.

    Summary

    Emma Emmerich just wants to get past what happened to her at Big Shell. But when she runs into a drunk and disheveled Raiden at 6 in the morning, she realizes that while neither of them will be ever to escape their pasts, they have the ability to shape their futures. And if their futures are intertwined for the next while or so, all the better.

    Even if Raiden is a total weirdo at best... at least he's a fairly good looking weirdo, right?
