Laying Down the Sword (Complete)

The war is over. Demise is gone. The sky no longer binds the world.

For Link, that silence is terrifying.

Set shortly after The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, this story follows Link as he tries to build a home on the Surface for Zelda; hoping that if he keeps his hands busy and his future planned, the memories of war will stay quiet. They don't.

Haunted by nightmares, flashbacks, and a voice that refuses to stay buried, Link struggles to adjust to a life without prophecy or battle. Zelda sees the cracks forming long before he does-and refuses to let him face them alone.

This is a slow, intimate story about healing after trauma, love after destiny, and learning how to live once the hero's journey is over.
