I Remember You

by braksarla-yume

When you lose important things in life, it's almost as if you've lost everything else in general. Aelryn comes to find that sometimes, even when it feels like you're on the losing side, fate is always kind enough to send you things that are pleasantly different from what you're used to. ("Sibling" pair Link x OC, Link x Ilia. Rating for blood, one unwanted sexual advance)

1. Author Note

Hello, everyone! I have returned. I have tried to remake my account to Wattpad, and with a new Legend of Zelda story! I am a big fan of the series, but I'e been spending my time trying to write my chapters to my Kingdom Hearts fanfic. My original plan for that was to update every three chapters, but I am not done with my third chapter yet. I might end up taking a small break from said story, and I feel bad for leaving you guys on the single chapter there is. But they will come, I promise.

My plan to upload this story on Wattpad failed miserably, as none of the chapters would say that they uploaded all the way complete and visible to the public. I wanted to start the story on Wattpad because I have corresponding images that you can post at the top of the chapter page. I ultimately decided on posting said images on my DeviantArt page. I will post the links to the images on every chapter and provide my best description to each one.

I'm writing this solely dedicated to a really close friend of mine on tumblr. We've been close friends for so long that I consider him a brother, which (spoiler alert) is the type of relationship centered in this story. There are also elements in this story that kinda hit close and personal to me, which is what inspired me to write it in the first place.

In this storyline, I plan to keep Link in his initial blank-slate and silent, yet caring and heroic personality, like he is in all the games. I couldn't really find myself to bring him too out-of-character, if that even is a thing for his case, because I wanted to bring this story in a new approach of OCs as if it's a new canon game that is involved in the Hyrule Historia timeline (though that's not really my plan). He'll still talk, just not a whole lot. I find it good practice for when I eventually write publishable stories when I'm older. Instead I have this set in the era of Twilight Princess, a few months after Link and Midna depart at the end after defeating Ganondorf. My goal is to also hopefully not bore you guys. I've taken quite a bit of hiatuses at some points due to heavy depression and feeling like I've been losing my skill to write.

Unfortunately I've noticed that my OC's character design is looking a lot like Zelda. I admit that trying to draw a Hylian OC required me to look at Zelda's eye shape for reference, since Malon didn't give me too much detail. The end results...make Aelryn look like a royal ranch girl. xD Everything else, I've purely made original and on my own. I've even added a few facial details that are similar to mine, including the lips and two moles on the face, the earrings as well.

I will avoid putting repetitive author's notes in the actual chapters unless there is something absolutely important to say or point out (I ramble a lot ^_^). But all that aside, the first chapter approaches, and I hope you enjoy! :)
