Summary
"All our silence could not excuse/Disappoint or further prove/Anything other than what we already know." - MS MR, 'All the Things Lost'.
“Who did you promise?” she asks him, tearful with alarm and terror.
He gives an odd sort of little half smile, then rasps, “Lyanna. I always kept my promises. She would have been so angry with me… otherwise. I had to help her. It was the only way.”
“What was the only way?” Catelyn feels cold sweat dripping down her back, feels slightly feverish herself. “What do you mean, Ned? Did Lyanna ask you to do something?”
“Keep him away… from Robert,” he whispers. “To protect him.”
(Mortally wounded during the Greyjoy Rebellion, a delirious Ned makes a deathbed confession to Catelyn, leaving her to pick up the pieces of both her life and Jon Snow's.)

Summary
In nearly every way (except the most notable), the Princess of Hyrule was the Goddess incarnate. For that reason alone, it was a little ingenious for the King to offer up his daughter’s hand to whoever was able to pull the sword.
Link hadn’t meant to pull the sword. He planned to watch as his comrades pulled with all their might, perhaps even tease a few about how it was all for the better that the sword didn’t budge, because surely no Princess could ever love their ugly mugs, and then get into a good old-fashioned wrestling match with their bruised egos after one too many jokes. But it hadn’t mattered what he had in mind; Link’s plans be damned. The Goddess had already plucked him out of obscurity and set him along Her own path.

Summary
“Link! You’re hurt!”
“I’m fine, Sid—”
“In the mouth of a demon dragon? Absolutely not, you were nearly crunched!” Sidon whirls around. “Quickly! Does somebody have a healing elixir for His Majesty?”
His Majesty.
His Majesty.
And that’s when Zelda realizes—it’s not her Sidon and the Royal Guard are addressing.
It’s Link.
___
Six months after the Upheaval, a weakened and dismayed Link appears in Zora's Domain.
With no sign of Zelda, Impa follows the wish of Hyrule's previous sovereign, and names him king.

Summary
Castiel finally makes a friend while working at the Gas & Sip. He just doesn’t realize his friend owns a few pairs of wings.
Gabriel’s instinct was to march right up to the angel—former angel—and demand to know what happened. Or, more to the point, what the Winchesters did, because Gabriel would bet his third left wing that they had their massive hands in this one way or another. But he didn’t march over there at all. Instead he weighed the pros and cons of buying red or black licorice.
