Summary
Zelda Iseult DeLeon is an adjunct professor of little renown. The wealth of her family is tied up in land no one has any interest in buying, and assorted artifacts of vanished Hylian glory. She cannot support an independent life without working, and she cannot continue working so long as she is afflicted by the ghosts of the past to such powerful degree that the dreams are taking over waking hours as well as her dwindling rest. She is persuaded to hand over her class to her moonlighter for a trimester to focus on her health -- and sanity.
Everyone is confident a winter of retreat and reflection will return her to herself by spring.

Summary
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.

Summary
Two kingdoms, both alike in dignity -
A long-forgotten war returns to plague fair Hyrule, reviving ancient enmities and dangerous powers. Hyrule dreams, the spirits of her people adrift in the Zant’s shadows.The mageborn monarch of Twilight escapes her would-be assassin and seeks among the light-dwellers of Hyrule for a Champion. Midna & Link hunt the twisted monsters under Zant’s command. They fight to restore the shrines of Hyrule’s land guardians & raid sanctuaries for fragments of ancient magic to retake her country.
A cursed princess and a fallen king must find common ground before the cruelty of the usurper can destroy both worlds. Ganondorf fights two wars: one of secret steel & subtle magic to weaken ancient chains & subvert Zant; the other, his own spirit threatening the tenuous alliance with the Crown Princess Zelda, who will stop at nothing to free her country from the darkness. He covets the same relics Midna hunts to free himself from Zant & his own endarkened destiny before his beloved princess can discover his sins...
In the fullness of time, all wheels turn.

Summary
Or: So You Read a StudioRat Fic and You Have Questions
In no particular order, non-exhaustive, but the first chapter might be an outline, and the chapter titles are going to (attempt) to be self-explanatory
Rated T because we might be getting into discussions of grown-up topics in an academic sort of tone.
Updates will be irregular, things will sometimes appear out of order (though I have developed a chapter system), basically you've opened my desk drawer looking for answers and this metafic is the papers that fell on the floor in the process. Contributions from other folks who have found my work helpful will be added when they blossom into existence.

You want to read this. Even if scifi isn’t normally your thing, you will want to read this. This is a master class on economical yet devastatingly wonderful prose.

This is @roblaze's fault.

Navigator is still cookin', but this possessed me to write it off and on. This would fit early in Act 3, but spoils nothing. Enjoy.

Summary
There is a place on the Great Plateau that the outside world could not reach. In a cave in the side of the hill, sealed by thick foliage and thorny branches, there lay dormant an enormous flower bud with its petals wound tight.
Today, on the hundredth Summer since the Calamity, the fifth and tiniest of the Great Fairies finally emerges from his fountain.
