Summary
Sleep refused her that night. Despite the darkness and her fatigue, no sleep overcame her. She sat there, mind consumed by questions and miserable feelings. What had Zelda ever done to deserve this? Any of this? Why would Link not trust her enough to ask for help? Why was he so… empty? Why had he cut open his arm?
The questions remained, unanswered and piling atop one another with no end to them in sight. And so they piled up, and up, and up. The final thought she had before she finally sank beneath the tides of consciousness was an idle prayer to Hylia. It was the first time she had prayed to Hylia since before activating her powers. Years of stony silence from the goddess had only served to sever the princess’s belief in her power to help.
And yet, for some reason, she prayed. “Hylia,” she thought exhaustedly, “Just make Link trust me. Let me help him…” Her thoughts trailed off into meaninglessness and faded into restless dreams. The final thing she saw as sleep laid claim to her again was a golden beam of sunlight pressing into her eyes.
-OR-
Link is turned into a child by Hylia post-botw, for seemingly unknown purposes, as Link learns to trust others and eventually find his way back to being okay

Sleeping Like a Baby (That is to say, poorly.) by IAmSamIsMe

Summary
"He was untethered, unanchored, left completely adrift along the sea of memories and experiences, unsure if at one moment, the blood on the floor or the pillow beneath his fingers was real. And then, there was light, and a voice, muffled beneath the waves of a dozen experiences happening at once in parallel with one another. It was… female, it sounded. He didn’t hear what the voice said, only knew that he had heard it. Then, all at once, the universe stilled, was quiet, and he heard, clear as day, from Pallas Athena herself, his name.
“Odysseus!”"-OR-
Odysseus Angst and Nightmares because my sweet baby has so so much trauma. Thankfully, Athena is there and quite adept at handling Odysseus when he's like this.
Sfw fic! Please DNI in a sexual or NSFW way, Thank you!

Summary
“Link, how long have you been here, exactly?”

“Have you left that chair since I saw you this morning?”
“I… left to use the bathroom?”

Summary
Sonia would never, in a million years or longer, have expected for two children to literally fall from the sky in a flash of golden light. Additionally, she wouldn’t have expected for one of them to be her own flesh and blood from far in the future. Finally, she never would have expected to form such a bond with children she equally hadn’t expected to exist in the first place, let alone in just short of a month.
And yet, here she was, gently shaking Zelda awake on the top half of a bunk bed. It was early, right before the sunrise, and Sonia and the two children were going to spend the morning out. “Zelda, darling? Wake up, sweetheart!”
============
In which Sonia becomes the mother of two deaged children from the future, and life is good. Shameless fluff, no conflict to be had here, but there's a series brewing and this is me having dessert before dinner. Enjoy!
Title from Love You, by Free Design

Summary
“Morning there, Little Blue.”
Confusion bloomed on Lance’s face for about a quarter of a second before it dawned on him. “Blue!” He gasped. “What? I- You’re?” He stumbled over himself a solid 5 more times, and Blue laughed.
“Boy, what’s got your tongue all tied up? It’s just me!”
“Yeah, it’s just you, but you’re… human? You’re not normally human, blue!”
===========
Lance has been having a rough time of it recently and ends up crying himself to sleep in Blue's cockpit. Luckily for Him, Blue seems to figure out a way to help in her own funky magical lion way.

Summary
It was fine, Link was fine. He tamped down the roiling of his stomach at the sight of the soup in front of him. He just had to take his spoon, reach up, put it in his mouth, and swallow.
Pick up the soup, put it in his mouth, and swallow.
Link ignored the way his heart pounded in his chest.
Pick up the soup, put it in his mouth, and swallow.
He pretended not to notice how sweaty he felt.
Pick it up, put it in his mouth, and-
Link made it through only a quarter of his bowl before he threw up.
============
Link struggles with food sometimes, and on a particularly bad day, it seems like nothing will let Link comfortably eat, not even when he's regressed. Luckily, Zelda has a solution that she thinks is quite promising.

Summary
It was a small statue. That much, Ghost could tell. It resembled the Old Stag that had assisted their traversal of Hallownest that fateful night. It also was inaccurate; the legs were made thicker, the horns and sharp edges softened, and Stags did not have wheels. Yet, on the bottom of this small statue, the platform which held the Stag had attached to it four small wheels.
============
Nailmaster Sheo and the Nailsmith have presented ghost with a gift: 3 small figures that Sheo called toys. Can ghost discover what their purpose is and why the couple decided to give them to them?
============
First in a series of The Knight from Hollow Knight discovering things about themself and what it means to have a mind. A Godly Child is still a Child

You're getting a childhood, whether you like it or not by IAmSamIsMe
Fandoms: Nimona (2023), Nimona (Webcomic)

Summary
Turns out that when you take a blast that can destroy a whole city at point-blank range there are consequences. As Nimona finds out the hard way, that means being stuck in a form the size of a small child or smaller. It also turns out that being alone and without a family or even friends for basically your entire existance leaves its marks in your mind too. All of this results in a Nimona in desperate need of a hug as she navigates the world after having saved it.

Wonderful Melodies and Extrordinary Memories by IAmSamIsMe
Fandoms: Minecraft (Video Game)

Summary
Steve didn’t remember much. Whether amnesia or having lived so long that he had forgotten much of his oldest memories, it wasn’t clear, but the fact remained that Steve remembered very little of his past.
At least Alex had vague memories of her childhood. She didn’t remember her parent’s names, but their faces were fairly clear, and she had some fuzzy memories that were more feeling than vision of warm sunsets and soft blankets.
Steve didn’t have that. Whatever bizarre force had brought the two of them together– seemingly thousands of years later– Whatever force had done that had probably eliminated most of his memory right along with it.
That wasn’t to say that Steve was unhappy, no, not by any means. But that lingering curiosity that burned in him from the moment he found himself in a field with nothing but the clothes on his back and a green book of wisdom, that curiosity sometimes pricked at his mind with vague wonderings about what might have been his past.
===================
Steve and Alex discover the trial chambers and what music lies within.

Growing Pains by IAmSamIsMe

Summary
To say that Link had issues was the understatement of the millennium.
Link had found the master sword PITIFULLY young, no older than 6. Growing up as a fully fledged knight hadn’t exactly been fun, all sense of fun disappeared the day he moved to the barracks. The training to keep a neutral face, to walk a certain way, to attack without remorse, it wasn’t exactly a fun childhood.
That is, it wouldn’t have been, had he been able to remember it. Amnesia felt like a personal hell, every day after the Calamity had been defeated it felt like another thing he’d forgotten like he’d never known it in the first place.
============
Join Link, Zelda and the rest of the BOTW cast as they venture through the painful life of Link, and maybe, just maybe, help him to see that there's love to be found, if only he can learn to ask for it.
============
Work is abandoned, but the same concept is being reworked under a new title

Summary

============
Yeah, uh... This one's messy and not all that well written, if I'm honest. It was late and I wrote this instead of sleeping. Sorry in advance!
