The Sword Reforged by Ardil the Traveller (Ardil)

Summary
Long ago, the island of Skyloft and all those around were raised to the sky by the goddess Hylia, who legend says still protects and guards her chosen people. Two students at the Knight Academy take part in a traditional graduation ceremony, utterly unaware that the events of centuries ago echo and reflect upon this very day, only for disaster to strike. The long-preordained destiny of the two is set in motion, for the battle the goddess fought and could not win so long ago must now be fought again, only this time with her powers renewed and her chosen sword reforged to an unstoppably keen edge. But the sword of her foe has not been idle during his master's long imprisonment, and the trials they face may test them to the very limit...
A massive fix, retelling, and expansion of Skyward Sword; the beginning point and culmination of the whole Sword of the Goddess series.

Summary
Once, long ago, a battle between gods and demons was fought. Once, long ago, a great goddess chose a hero and fought in defence of her people, and together and with the power of the Triforce, they won.
But the unseen price the goddess paid for turning aside from her duty, for contradicting her very nature, was terrible indeed.
Centuries have passed, and the people live under the hand of their goddess, within the bounds of the walls she raised, worshipful and grateful – for who but a fool would be anything but? But evil cloaks the land, and all is not well in a kingdom rotten at its very core.

Sword of the Goddess by Ardil the Traveller (Ardil)
Fandom The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
06 Apr 2026
Summary
In a time before the legends we know begin, before time was set to the rhythm it follows now, something happened whose effects still reverberate through time, caught up and amplified by later events; locked into a pattern never quite broken, though some have tried. This is how it begins...
A boy and a girl, newly adult, on their peaceful island in the sky.
Far in the past, a goddess, and a sworn champion, and a stranger from a strange land.
And further back still, a god who devours and a spirit of swordcraft, who will fall together and become greater and more terrible than ever they should have.It is their tangled futures that will shape the aeons to come...
(Stories are arranged in chronological order, but the complicated Optimal Reading Order begins with The Sword Reforged. Note that this is entirely optional – it mostly maximises drama, and places one spoiler for vaguely more effect.)

Project Blur by Ardil the Traveller (Ardil), Sparky_Lurkdragon
Fandom Shadow the Hedgehog (Video Game), Sonic the Hedgehog (Video Games)
25 Mar 2013
Summary
What happened after Sonic Adventure 2? Was it really quite that nonsensical? What if you saw it all from different angles... what if you blurred the lines just a little? That's Project Blur - taking the events of all the more underwhelming games after SA2 and making them make real, coherent sense with a continuous plot and maybe even consistent character development!
Crazy, right?

Bookmarker's Notes
I like the Fi in this one, and her mental realm; worth a read even though I don't agree with the characterisation of Ghirahim.

Summary
Zelda can sense the return of danger, and she knows she is the one destined to stop it. She won’t fail. Not with all this wisdom and all this authority at her fingertips.
Ganondorf can feel the curse creeping up on him, but he’s no closer to finding a way out than when he first learned of it. This hatred that fights to consume him will come for all his people next if he doesn’t stop it.
Link’s brother is missing. Bodyguard to the princess, Rift disappeared with her after the appearance of the Dark Beast in Gerudo Desert. Now a Voice is calling Link to defeat that Beast to save Hyrule and reunite his family.
