"O youth, guided by the servant of the goddess, unite earth and sky..."

Long ago, there was a great battle between the goddess Hylia and the forces of evil. The stories of this battle have been handed down in Skyloft since time out of mind. Though much of the truth of this battle has been lost, the prophecy remains: a hero of the goddess will appear when the great apocalypse awakens.

Link is a student at the Knight's Academy on Skyloft, training to become a knight of the goddess. Skilled, but sometimes a little lazy, his natural talent and close friendship with the headmaster's daughter, Zelda, invites some jealousy from classmates, but he doesn't let that bother him. There's too much to enjoy about life.

Disaster interrupts his happy life the day he graduates to the upper class: an unnatural tornado knocks both him and Zelda from their loftwings during a post-ceremony flight, sending Zelda below the cloud barrier, and Link back to Skyloft, where he is found unconscious.

Scared for his Most Important Person, Link prepares- against advice from the headmaster -to search for her, when a spirit named Fi appears before him. He is part of a great destiny, she says, fated to be the goddess's chosen hero. And honorable Zelda, the spirit maiden from the sky, is part of that destiny. Taking up the Goddess Sword, a sacred blade that Fi resides in, he sets off to fulfill his destiny and reunite with Zelda, before the forces of evil destroy them and all they hold dear.



((Yes, this is a novelization of Skyward Sword. There was so much glaring mishandling of the plot that either I tear my hair out in frustration, or I fix them.))

There was once a writer.

This writer has had a hard year. Last year, she was widowed at the entirely too young age of thirty-four. Then a long-time friend died young of complications of diabetes. Then her aunt, the only member of her extended family worth keeping in touch with, died, leaving her wheelchair-bound daughter to get sick from lack of care. Then the writer's nurse-cat was diagnosed with kidney issues on what would've been her partner's birthday. She stopped being able to afford food for the entire month for herself to keep up with her nurse-cat's treatments.

Then there was an expensive move and crossed-wire shenanigans borne of incompetency with her insurance that made her too sick from anxiety over the lapse and the costs of it to eat most of that month anyway.

It really was a miracle she was able to write the year before; a miracle that didn't seem like it was going to happen this year.

It's a question of this really counts as 'happening' this year, since her project is "whatever dryer lint that floats around my thoughts that I can make my brain fight against broken neurochemical balances to actually move my fingers to put it down."

And thus, Project Dryer Lint was born.

(No, seriously, this is the best I can hope for.)

Number Of Chapters Finished: Erm. Chapters? :D?;;;;

Finished? I made it to the end of the month, does that count?

Edward Elric is trapped under his family's fussiness, something at once touching and wearisome. They're being so obnoxious about it that his aunt and uncle made peace with Envy so they could all three join the youngest Elric brother and their honorary sister in keeping vigil over him, dooming him to being stuck on the oversized couch bed in the living room of the brothers' side of the duplex they share with their father and adopted aunt and uncle in Queen, NYC.

Honestly, people, just because that transmutation accidentally killed him didn't mean he wasn't just fine. The Gate kept him from truly dying, he had a deal that they needed to start trusting, and now all he feels is tired and like a bruise, this sort of imprisonment is hardly necessary.

But that transmutation had another effect besides Edward's brief encounter with death, the energy of it vibrating along the thread that connects the Gate to the abyss, a piece of the Gate's power that sectioned away during the breaking of Order and Chaos; a vibration that attracts the attention of the abyss given form, Dreams Made Flesh.

Jaenelle Angelline's appearance in the living room puts most of Edward's family on the defensive over their long-suffering charge, but both Edward and Alphonse talk them down; they could do nothing against the woman who stood in their living room, asking them for help.

A help she desperately needs; because while Witch can harness the power of the abyss, necessary to break the power of the Blood that have tainted the Old Ways, Jaenelle's flesh would be burned up in the process. But that thread's vibration sang of someone who survived channeling a deeper and darker power, and that may just be the help she needs.

So Witch sought the Gatemaster, the abyss and the Gate reuniting for the first time in millennia.

Edward agrees to go to the realm of the Blood, and after Alphonse puts his foot down on everyone else's that their protests are heard and overruled, the family packs up to accompany the boys to the troubled world. They may be thwarted in keeping Edward banished to bed rest, but their irritating fussiness refuses to let either him or Alphonse do anything with the Gate without them there. Envy's even willing to tolerate Hohenheim's presence, if that's what it takes to keep the brothers who fought to give him a family again safe.

Because while it may have been the Gatemaster that Witch sought out, it was their Superman and his Kryptonite that was answering the call for help, and their family's foundation rested on the superhero and his strongest weakness. For their own survival, they have to protect the boys from the rain.

Finished? Are you kidding me?

As Princess Zelda grows, King Rhoam sees a need for her to have her own guard, a special knight to guard and defend her while she focuses on her studies, on awakening the sealing power within her. His captain of the elite royal guard suggests his son, a young man only a year older than the princess, by the name of Link. He's already skilled with the blade, and showed a level of devotion the captain had rarely seen even in his own men when the boy's sister was sick not but a year before.

Deciding that the two would make a good match, Zelda needing a companion to the various places of worship she would have to pilgrim to in her studies, and Link needing someone to ground him, Rhoam agrees to assign Link to his daughter.

At first, the young teenagers are reluctant to warm up to each other, sticking to their roles and nothing more. But what starts as a working relationship warms to a friendship, and blossoms into a secret romance, that quite frankly, Rhoam approves of.

Then the prophecy of Calamity Ganon's imminent return makes Zelda's studies all the more important, and Link's steadfastness becomes the only thing that keeps her from going crazy at her own failures. It soon becomes obvious that Link was meant to be the Hylian Champion in the upcoming battle, and claims the Master Sword to protect his princess with.

But while his mastery of the Sword grows, her powers remain locked away, and failure after failure drives a wedge between the two hearts.

And it has devastating effects.
