As I have mentioned to a few people, I have shipped Princess Zelda with Urbosa for some time. But Urbosa died, probably for real, at the end of Breath of the Wild. I was lamenting to Miriam that, while Link and Sidon make an adorable casual couple (and I'd like to think Link would be good friends with Sidon's fiance too), there is a dearth of female NPCs in Tears of the Kingdom that I could see Zelda clicking with. Purah doesn't work for me, and we thought about what female NPCs exist and what they were like, and now I am writing fan fic romance fluff about Zelda and Fera, the minor character whose goal in life (in the game anyway) is finding the locations of every well in Hyrule.
I don't think I have ever written fan fic before, and I haven't tried to write fiction in a long time. I feel kind of silly, but at least thinking about story ideas and trying to write from time to time is holding my interest for now.
Oddly enough, I'm pretty sure my wanting to write stuff like this is tied to my transition in complicated ways. Miriam has commented that being with someone who is transitioning is like being with a teenager in some respects, and I do feel rather like a teenage fangirl when engaging with certain media. I'm enjoying the experience!
