    Summary

    I love the Regency Romance genre, and especially love Georgette Heyer novels. I was kind of surprised I didn’t see any other zelink Regency AUs because the story certainly lends itself to the genre. Well, be the change you want to see and all that. This story is mostly a Heyer-inspired series of tropes all strung together. Don’t overthink anything I came up with, I went with a lot of semi-plausible stuff that served the story I wanted to tell. It’s also not gonna be historically accurate so don’t expect that either, this is Hyrule, not England, and I can do what I want.

    Summary

    After the events of Tears of the Kingdom, a coronation, and a marriage, Queen Zelda and King Link hold a winter festival.

    On the day of the festival, Zelda carries a secret, and Link is very touchy. By the end of the afternoon, Zelda comes to a realization.

    This is a fluffy piece with a sprinkle of angst. A Slice of Life post-upheaval.

    Summary

    “Well then?” There’s a wry smile on her face. Link wonders if it doesn’t seem a little forced. “Aren’t you going to ask me if I know any nice girls?”

    You're a nice girl, he wants to say.

    Except she isn’t.

    Because Zelda isn’t nice.

    She’s perfect.

    Suitors arrive in Hyrule for the chance to claim Zelda’s hand in marriage, much to the chagrin of the Princess and her chosen knight.

    Summary

    My take on a 5+1 fic for Twilight Princess Zelink. Five rumors Link heard about Zelda that were wrong, and then the one that turned out to be true.

    ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+

    “I heard you needed a guard.”

    “Oh.” She seemed… disappointed, somehow. Her brow was furrowed, her lips curled down at the edges. “Is that all?” Zelda’s voice was scarcely louder than a whisper.

    “Well…” Link trailed off. How did he tell her about his worry for her? How the people in town spoke about her? How the castle gossiped? Whispering that she was unstable, a ruler with no footing, who didn’t even trust her own guard.

    Zelda shook herself. “I apologize. My curiosity has the better of me.”

    How did he tell her he welcomed it? That he wished to cross the ravine between them, but that would require a bridge he had yet to build. So he said nothing and told himself it wasn’t from a lack of courage.

    “I am sure I could not ask for a better guard. Of course, you have the appointment.” She hesitated. “Is that truly all you wish, Link?”
