Summary
Purah mods the Sheikah slate so it can do phone calls. Zelda calls Link in the middle of a battle. He answers.
***
“Hang on, Zelda is calling. Hey babe!”“Hey Link! Ugh I'm so bummed I gotta—”
Link stabbed a silver bokoblin through the neck. Somehow, it didn't die. A wet, garbled gurgle sounded from what remained of its throat.
“Hang on….” Zelda said on the slate, “...are you working right now?”

Dreams and Draconification by RunningNinja

Summary
Sometimes she sent him dreams.
Zelda was a dragon, flying across the sky at a steady and eternal pace, looping her kingdom in easy, endless circles. Link didn't know what–if any–of the Zelda he loved remained after her draconification. It didn’t matter. Link had faith in his girl. He'd cry in her arms when he had her back, and not a moment sooner.
He knew she'd done this with no hope, no plan for coming back to him in the end. She could be dramatic like that. It was alright. Her sacrifice gave him the upper-hand over Ganondorf. The upper-hand to fight back. To win. He’d tell her he’d missed her when he held her again…and in his dreams, when she visited them. -
Things Snowballed From There by RunningNinja
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Summary
Twilight Princess Zelda decides to escape for a secluded holiday vacation at the newly opened Snowpeak Lodge. Unbeknownst to her, the hero of twilight works there. Actually, he sort of built it from the ground up. He just needed to keep busy after losing Midna, and things kind of snowballed from there. So Zelda settles in at a guest room at the lodge for a relaxing and rural week away from pressure and prying eyes. But there's a certain set of blue eyes she can't quite keep away from….

Wild Life by RunningNinja

Summary
“How could this have happened to me? …I did everything I was supposed to do. I lived the life I was supposed to live. I….I don't understand this failure!” Fresh sobs racked Zelda and she covered her face, turning away from both her appointed knight and the Goddess stature. “Oh, what have I done?”
Link looped his arm through Zelda's, pulling her to her feet. Her breath hiccupped and she leaned on him, then into him, burying her face in his blue tunic.
“Come with me, Princess,” Link said. “It’s not on the royal itinerary, but I'm adding a stop for us. Somewhere no thoughts of duty or calamity will bother us. A place to forget about all this, for a time.”
Zelda stopped crying, surprised. Link was…improvising? As fond as she had become of her knight in recent weeks, she hadn't known him to stray from the plan set out by her father. Dumbfounded, she took his hand and he led her out of the spring.

Summary
I can’t be the only one who watched the Silencer French-dub and then yelled “KWAMI SWAP” during Lady and Chat’s rooftop conversation, despite having no idea what they were saying. A swap didn’t happen, so I wrote it. Spoilers for Silencer. Reveal fic, but not like you think.

It's a Hard Knock Life (Time to Knock Something Back) by RunningNinja
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
17 Dec 2018
Tags
Summary
Back in his house in Hateno, Link tells Zelda stories over a moonshine he made himself…on accident. Out of triple-distilled chuchu jelly. Hilarity and near-confessions ensue. Post-game BOTW. Zelink, probably. Rated T for questionable life choices.

Summary
After a simple-sounding intelligence mission reveals a contagious Galra AI, the paladins have to act fast to stop E.M.P.I.R.A., a destructive self-preserving bot capable of resurrecting sentries from the dead. Antics and all the most lovable things about Voltron ensue.

Summary
“I never knew what it was like to be anything but Galra. I was only ever half, but that was both the half I hated and the half I couldn’t avoid becoming. But then I found someone who was everything I couldn’t be, half-Galra but fully human: Keith.” Not a ship-fic, if you can believe it. Just introspective first person about Acxa’s motives on not killing “the one with the flippity hair.”

Summary
“I challenge you… to an Altean cuss-off. Whoever knows the most Altean swear words wins.” It was Pidge, Lance, Hunk, Keith, a bowl of green popcorn, and a challenge not to be taken lightly. Shenanigans and consequences ensue. Good old sleepover-style fluff.

Summary
Set in Season 2. How many paladins does it take to scratch an itch? Shiro gets a terrible itch between the metal and skin of his right arm and needs the help of his team. All of them. At 3am. Space-dad centric fic: give that man the help he won't ask for, shall we? OG Team Voltron bonding.

Summary
It’s after the finale of season 7, and the paladins gather together in Lance’s hospital room late one night to discuss an important piece of paper. Genfluff, I promise. Some good old paladin bonding.

Summary
“Keith? He’s a bit of a discipline case.” I heard them. I always heard what they said about me. No one cares about me, not really. Especially not this Shiro. So he probably won’t care if I steal his car.
