Summary: Almost twenty years after the new Queen of Hyrule banished the Gerudo King, her country is devastated in a fiery cataclysm, driving Hylian refugees to the desert for shelter. Ganondorf would rather piss glass than help his enemies, but certain old promises haunt him - along with certain new ghosts.

IT IS FINISHED.

Hey friends. I'm not "back" per se. But I am still alive, and more importantly, I finished KoDB, that ZelGan(Link) novel I have been talking about for literal years. First chapter is up on AO3, and I'll post a new chapter every Friday for the next nine weeks until it's done. I hope you like it. All you ZelGan fans, you Gerudo culture fans, all you who joined me in the beautiful meta discussions about the LoZ lore 2014-2017 - this is for you.

Shout-out to @gatheringbones for listening patiently while I realized my favorite childhood movie, Annie (1982), was capitalist propaganda in real time

"So, I rediscovered 'attachment styles' language, and I seem to fall into 'anxious avoidant'," I said

"You are," my friend answered, as unhesitatingly as if telling me the day of the week

#'tuesday' #the objective worst apparently! coupled with a lot of language about 'least likely to succeed in life' #'advice for those with AA attachment style: don't' #sigh. #appleheart realtalk time

I am on. Literally. The last scene of KoDB and it is killing me. I have worked on this for so long, I've become so many different people since I started it - Link and Zelda and Gan himself have become such different characters in my mind than when I started it - and the original ending had to go in the dumpster, it's no longer relevant, the world has moved on (which is the point of the story, BUT STILL)

I'm posting this here to nag myself into completing the full draft. By the end of this month. Because then it's NaNoWriMo, which will serve as a good brain break - any lingering edits made in December - then posted, and I never have to stress about it again.
