Horribly Elitist

by Squeeb100

Shad's been puzzling over the runes and the cannon Link helped him discover weeks ago. And when Link calmly enters Telma's bar, lightly toasted from a fight with a dragon (really), he provides a few answers. Shad may be horribly elitist, but he's not beyond respecting someone different from him. And Link is a surprising person.or, Shad and Link talk about the city in the sky, the Oocca, and the fate of the world, Link can't read, and both of them make some promises.

Consider Yours Truly

by saiyuri_dahlia

Another Lovers' Day arrives and Shad is alone. Never being picked is his lot in life so he is used to it. The florist's daughter means well, but how can a flower improve his chances? Shad supposes it could not hurt to humor her.

by hellishfish

Well, yes. Link had the habit of doing things out of the usual but...Really? The most powerful thing in existence, used as a lantern?

Whats in a Name

by anonymouse_fiction

As much as Link would like to think where you come from doesn’t matter, it would seem several denizens of Castle Town think otherwise. It’s a good thing there are more that prove him right.

Step and Turn

by saiyuri_dahlia

Link can't dance. Shad can't tell if he just admires Link or if he feels something else. Something more than that. A quick dance lesson provides them both a learning experience.

Artificers Delight

by anonymouse_fiction

When Link’s pouch goes awry, it causes quite the uproar. Thank goodness the resident artificer is already used to Link’s nonsense.

In which Shad's mother comes for a visit... Let's just say there's a reason Shad talks more of his father than his mother.

Forever Yours

by saiyuri_dahlia

Shad could not be certain if it had been a memory or a highly convincing dream. Of a promise between boys. It wasn't exactly something Shad would have forgotten. And Link never mentioned it either. Sequel to "Consider Yours Truly".

Once Upon A Dance

by saiyuri_dahlia

Honestly, a masquerade ball at the Castle is the last place Link would like to be. The costumes are weird and fussy. There's people everywhere, but they're all rich nobles and courtly folk, and he's just an Ordonian who did a good deed. He doesn't belong there, and everyone's going to know it. Maybe, if he's lucky, no one will notice him...
