DAY 7 ART

Life Itself by @fabdante

My fangs. One of you freaks is gonna like this.

Though They With Winter Meet

Before they became legends, they were people.

Hyrule is fated to fall. No mortal hand can change what the gods have fated to fade — but Princess Zelda is determined to mitigate harm as much as possible for as many souls as possible. From the day she left Nayru’s Cauldron on her seventeenth birthday a Confirmed Zelda bearing the blessings of the Three, she has labored for years under her own name and a thousand aliases to improve conditions for common folk of Hyrule and her neighbors alike — and lay foundations for a stable, prosperous future without royals steering the ship of state.

Last winter, for the first time since the devastation of the Hylian Civil Wars, the Gerudo sent a delegation to the peace summit. A mysterious thief hidden among the diplomats confronted her then, and for nine months since the young witchking of the golden people has sent letters and gifts and challenges through his network of spies. Now he wants to meet her near the border outside the restrictions of official protocol.

It could be a trap.

It could be the best chance they have for a happier future — for everyone.

Rated: E for eventual smut

Start reading here

For today’s prompt I offer a fresh entry in the Even To The Edge series. Although most of the tales are largely set in the ‘current’ era adjacent to Windwaker, this entire arc is set firmly in the past, from Zelda Rainbringer’s perspective. This one is (eventually) more explicit than other entries in the series, while being mostly about wallowing in the early stages of their relationship. The first two chapters are up today, and the rest will follow over time, along with the other @zelgan-week longfics.

After a year of fighting, the war is finally won. Zelda stands victorious, with Ganondorf finally defeated. The devastation he's done to her kingdom, however, remains, leaving it on the brink of destruction. In desperation, she appeals to the Goddess Nayru for help, who gives her a chance to change the past.

Sent back a year in time, she disguises herself as Sheik, determined to kill the self-proclaimed King of Evil before he can attack her kingdom. But she quickly discovers that not everything is as it seemed. As she begins to see the other side of a conflict she had a hand in shaping, she discovers that at the heart of this war lay horrors beyond her imagination.

Allies she trusted with her life become her enemies.

The enemy she fought to the death becomes the only one she can trust.

And fate, it seems, does not change so easily.

Written for @zelgan-week day 6, for the River of Time prompt. This is a longfic that I'm really excited about, though I can't promise it's going to be sunshine and rainbows for anyone.

Read it here!

Mine.

[My piece for Silent Princess/Covet, day five of Zelgan Week 2026 ( @zelgan-week ) Ganondorf gently clutches the softly glowing bloom of a Silent Princess, in which is the Princess herself. She steadies herself with a palm against his thumb, a radiant being in a sea of darkness eager to consume her...]

Summary:

The line of Hylia carries the gift of foresight: an unparalleled ability to peer past the curtain of time and witness what is to come. Princess Zelda, the youngest scion of the holy bloodline, can see past and future alike, and speak with the wisdom of a thousand spirits; Princess Zelda weeps and weeps and weeps, and seeps between her hands, and whispers tales of strange futures no one can understand, and of a strange man with golden eyes. Princess Zelda is mad. Healers from all around the world gather in the holy city to offer their help to the queen and her daughter, the princess hidden away in her tower, though only Ganondorf Dragmire, a dark sorcerer and once king of the Gerudo, can see through the princess’ pain and help her become the person she always wanted to be. Ganondorf has his own reasons behind their arrangement, interests that don’t align with those of the kingdom he vowed to serve. He does not expect that Zelda will steal his resolve and his strength and his heart, and forever entwine his fate with her own. He is not a good man, but for the first time in his long, long life, he believes he can become one. He just has to try.

Written for Zelgan Week 2026, Day 3 — Possession/Weakness

Six months after her draconification was reversed, Zelda is confronted with an old enemy and a new problem. While everyone trusts the seemingly harmless Ganondorf -- a man who claims to have no association with the one who tried to destroy Hyrule -- she knows the truth. It's only a matter of exposing him.

At the site of one of her fallen tears, they meet, to hash out the ancient history between them in a way neither of them quite expected.

My third favorite fic of this week! 

Writing for two very disconnected gods is so different and wonderful all at the same time
