Summary
The last thing Zelda saw was Rook falling—swallowed by the golden light of the mysterious stone.
She awakens above the Cloud Barrier with a decayed Master Sword and an unknown voice guiding her. Rook is gone, and worse still, she soon learns they have been separated by fifty thousand years.
Navigating the challenges that come with being the Hero, Zelda must traverse a changed Hyrule as she embarks on a journey to uncover the contingencies Rook left behind. As she seeks out the new Sages, she must prepare to face the growing threat of a resurrected Demise and the malevolent forces gathering in his wake.
But while Zelda fights for the present, Rook is trapped in the past—drawn into the very war etched into the ancient murals beneath Hyrule Castle.
Then, add in the arrival of the Chain, who are wholly unprepared for the world they have stepped into.

Summary
[‘bury a friend’ AU set in Season 3B]
Thomas has never had a normal life. Kidnapped, experimented on, and turned into a werefox, he escaped WICKED with his pack—only to be torn away from them just as freedom was finally within reach. Now in Beacon Hills, Thomas is trying to keep his head down and pass for ordinary. But in a town crawling with the supernatural, that was never going to last.
But when Newt and Minho unexpectedly arrive in Beacon Hills with Minho’s family, something else arrives too: a pair of feuding Kitsune. Of which Thomas is caught in the crossfire of—and becomes something far worse than a bystander when the darker spirit, the Nogitsune, chooses him as its host. It doesn’t leave. It doesn’t destroy him. It, dare he say, likes him.
And as Thomas begins to change in ways he doesn’t understand, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the Kitsune the Nogitsune is hunting for revenge… is Minho’s mother, and the reason might just be justified.
Now, caught between a spirit that won’t let him go and a feud he never asked to be part of, Thomas is running out of time to understand what’s happening to him before Noshiko might get the chance to kill him for harbouring the Nogitsune.

Inspired by the voice memories, I've created a collection of "recorded" journal entries made by Rook during the four years between the defeat of Calamity Ganon and the arrival of the Upheaval.

Summary
After the council room fight, Viktor's mental break goes down a dark and possessive path. Manipulating Jayce's dreams and perception of reality, he haunts the only true friend he's ever known. If Jayce won't join him willingly, he will do what he feels necessary to keep the man he loves, and hates, by his side.
My attempt at adding a horror element to the Jayvik collective.

Summary
“If this Hextech thing doesn't work out,” Jayce drawls, slow and sweet, head still dangling awkwardly from his neck, except now he's facing Viktor. “You know what we should do?”
This is a joke Viktor isn't in on. But now he's intrigued, so he draws up his good leg and rests his elbow on it, letting the quiet hum of music wash over him.
“What,” he asks, “Should we do, Jayce?”
Jayce is holding in a laugh. “Suicide pact.”
(Public appearances are boring. Viktor steals Jayce away, and they reflect.)

Summary
Viktor stays in the Hexcore chrysalis a few more hours. Jayce stays busy falling into the ravine of an alternate dimension and fighting his way back to his partner so that they can invent something new together: a future.
~~~
“What am I?” Viktor asked.
“What do you want to be?” Jayce was bearded and haggard and hopeful.
“Yours,” Viktor said, a memory and a realization both, like it was a truth that was woven into each of his metal and organic molecules.

Summary
“Do you trust me?” Viktor asks softly.
Jayce doesn't miss a beat. “With my life, always.”
“Then give me your coat.”
It takes Jayce a few seconds to process the words. “What?”
“Your coat,” Viktor repeats. “I will attend the meeting, and if House Talis needs to be represented, then it will be. By me.”
