    Summary

    Robin just moved to Paldea, and she's already sick of everyone. She just wants to queen out with her lovely Munna and forget everything else. But Nemona is far too chatty, Team Star is far too ridiculous and Cassiopeia has her under her thumb, and those damn Titans are far too huge.

    She doesn't mind Arven though. Though he wasn't her first 'friend' in this new region, maybe he'll end up being the one she likes the best. Maybe, he'll be just the friend she needs to turn her life around.

     

    (Robin is filling the role of the player character. she just so happens to bring in some illegal Pokemon. where does she summon a Staryu from? don't worry about it ^_^)

    Summary

    "I tried not to think too much about it. Tried to just be proud that he was this famous genius. But the truth is, I would've rather just had a dad who was there... even if he wasn't anything great.

    I haven't seen him for ages now. Unless you count seeing him in the news or whatever. Used to at least get emails sometimes. But even those stopped a couple years ago... Some family, right?"

    Arven, "The Way Home"

    One of the best gen fics for SV, providing background prior to events in SV and exploring Arven and Turo's relationship in a familial light (notable in a fic meta where other authors seem predisposed to the professor's negative traits).

    Summary

    Purah adjusts her glasses, squinting up at a sky still illuminated gold even though the sun has very nearly set. Link follows her gaze despite himself.

    Above, the Light Dragon weaves high into the sky, leaving a trail of starlight in her wake.

    Link, after the end.

    Fantastic post-TOTK fic; notable for tying up loose ends with a logical ending ribbon.

    Summary

    Link’s fairly sure that the Zelda he’s chasing after isn’t the Zelda he knows. She is uncharacteristically callous, needlessly cruel, and entirely too dedicated to ensuring he doesn’t catch up. He only wishes that the rest of the world wasn't so ready to believe the worst.

    The Zelda he knows would also never order the research teams to dismantle the Divine Beasts, but maybe he and the sages can work this to their benefit after all.

    (Or: Tears of the Kingdom, but the Divine Beasts are still around. This changes more than one might expect.)

    One of the top gen fics in TOTK worth reading as it explores Link's personal relationships with the sages and other characters more in-depth. Notable for no relationships highlighted (so no shipping biases), and providing some fanon background on Zelda's time in the past.

    Best chapter: https://archiveofourown.org/works/47605786/chapters/124398961
