Hello fellow MidLinkers!
This was just a random idea that popped into my head today while reading fanfiction and I just HAD to write it!
MidLink is my favourite ship but for some reason I haven't written for it until now. Hmm… odd.
I haven't come across anything yet that shows the perspectives of both Link and Midna after the Mirror of Twilight was broken. Then again, I haven't read that much MidLink fanfiction. Hmph! Some MidLinker I am!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one-shot. Happy reading!
Shattered Hearts
From the moment she shattered the mirror, she shattered two hearts along with it…
Why did I make this decision? How can I live with a shattered heart?
My people need me but I do not have the strength to lead them. Ever since I committed this act of selflessness, it has not helped anyone. I feel like a failure and a ridiculous excuse of a queen.
If he were here, he would embrace me, whisper comforting words and rescue me from the pit of despair. Instead, I pushed him into the same pit as I fallen.
I am shedding tears now. I remember the tears he shed just before I left. After everything he has been through, it takes so much to make him cry now. To think I had hurt him that deeply.
When I saw those tears, I immediately regretted my decision. By then there was no turning back.
Why did she make that decision? How can I live with a shattered heart?
Of course I know why; it was for the greater good. I was the one being selfish back then. Oh the irony, she was the selfish one when we first met. I was risking my life for people I had never met and she was pushing me beyond my limits for her own gain.
When she was about to prevent the past dangers from repeating, I tried to stop her. I disregarded my duty as the hero and acted only on my own desires. What kind of hero does that?
Closing my eyes, I can see her smirking, I can hear her teasing, I can feel her gentle hands brushing away my tears. But all this is distant, far from reality and reminding me of what I have lost.
That cursed image flashed in my mind again. She disappeared right before my eyes, her smile saying that everything would be alright. Her eyes were filled with regret just before she was gone forever. I could have sworn that she wanted to change everything in that last second, but it was a second too late.
I'll pay any price to see you again…
Okay, before anyone suggests that I extend on this (as has happened with my last two one-shots), can I just announce that two MidLink multi-chapters are on the waiting list to be written. That last line is like a teaser for a Zelda-Tsubasa crossover. The other story won't be a cross-over and is expected to be longer. The details for both are displayed on my profile if you are interested but please know that these won't be written for a while as I am on a strict one-story-at-a-time rule.
I hope you enjoyed this one-shot and please give me feedback so I may improve as a writer. That way, when I get round to writing my longer MidLink stories, they will be far better quality than this one.
Thank-you for reading!
