Bad Day, Good Night

Summary: Pre-Botw, Link has a bad day and regresses. Zelda makes sure the rest of his day ends good.

Link was acting strange, Zelda realized. It was supper time and all the Champions and the King were sitting at the long table in the dining room, eating their dinner. It was pretty quiet for the most part like it always was. Zelda hated that. She wished that she could have normal dinners where people socialized and got to talk about their day, not just eat with quiet whispers. 

However, during dinner, Link looked a little off. He sat slouched in his chair and poked at his food, not really eating it. Usually, the boy was very excited for supper. That’s when he got to sit down to have a meal. He also loved trying and eating food. It was his favorite time of the day. So it definitely concerned Zelda when he barely touched his food.

“Link? Are you doing alright?” She decided to ask. All the champions suddenly glanced over to him. Link looked up from his plate and saw everyone’s stares. For some reason, it made him want to cry. He already was having a horrible day, getting the attention all on him made it so much worse. 

But Link knew he couldn’t say anything back or he’d start sobbing. So instead, he nodded his head and ate a spoonful of his soup. However, he could feel everyone staring at him still. He heard Revali whispering something to Daruk but couldn’t make out what he was saying. He doubted it was anything nice. 

Mipha looked at him with a concerned face. She was always worried about him. Whether it was when he was injured, or was just having a bad time. She cared about him. But right now, the care felt too overwhelming. Link was feeling more like he was being judged than anything.

Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore. The whispering, the concerned looks, the slurping of soup and crunch of salad. The feeling he hated, dreaded, even, started to creep back up. It was the feeling of vulnerability. He knew what this meant. He was starting to regress. All he knew now was that he needed to get out of there. Link shot up from his seat and ran out of the room and to his chambers.

“Link!” Zelda yelled after him but he was already gone. She cursed herself for not recognizing that he was overwhelmed.

“He looked like he was about to cry…” Mipha said softly.

“He’s a champion, he shouldn’t be crying over nothing,” Revali scoffed.

“Shut up, Bird brain. Being a champion is stressful,” Urbosa said to him.

Zelda couldn’t find it in her heart to sit back down and finish eating. Something was wrong with Link and she was going to find out what it was. 

“I’m going to see if he’s alright. Continue eating without me,” Zelda pushed her chair in and began walking out of the dining room. Her father gave a look of disapproval, but she didn’t care. She needed to make sure Link was okay. 

Zelda made her way out of the dining room and to the hall where everyone’s quarters were. She saw that Link’s door was cracked open, so she concluded that he must be in there. Slowly, she approached the door and gave it a little knock.

“Link? Is it alright if I come in?” She asked. However, she got no answer. 

“I’m coming in, okay?” 

Slowly, she pushed open the door. The knight’s bedroom was dark, save for the light from the sunset leaking in from the big windows. In the middle of the room was Link’s large bed. The headboard was up against the wall and the canopy draped ever so slightly over the bed. On top of the mattress was Link, curled up in a ball and quietly sobbing. 

Zelda closed the door behind her and walked over. She sat down next to him. Link could feel the dip in the mattress as she sat. He could smell her perfume and shampoo. It was a comforting scent. 

“Can I hug you?” The princess asked. The knight nodded.

Zelda scooted a bit closer and wrapped her arms around him. Link leaned into her warm grasp. He melted in her arms. The way she embraced him made him feel so small. His mindset started to fully drop. It was going down a deep hole until he landed somewhere between 2 and 3. He nuzzled his face into Zelda’s shoulder and sniffled as his cries started to soften. Soon, his sobs turned into sniffles and he was feeling a lot better than before. 

Zelda noticed he was feeling better and pulled away from the hug. She noticed some tears still leaking out so she carefully cupped his cheeks and wiped them away.

“How are you feeling, Link?” She asked. Link held his hands up and far apart before moving them close together, signing the word ‘small’.

“Ah, I see. Do you know why you’ve regressed?” She questioned. 

‘Bad day’ Link signed. 

“I’m sorry, baby boy. Mama will make it better, okay? You can spend the rest of the evening with me and you can be as small as you want,” She offered. Link smiled and nodded. Zelda got up from her spot on the bed and stretched a little.

“Alright, where’s all your little stuff?” She asked, looking around. Link pointed to his closet. 

Zelda smiled and walked over to it and opened the doors. There was a box underneath his champion tunics that had a small note on it. It read “Link’s private stuff, stay out!”. She brought it out and showed it to him to make sure it was the right one. He nodded so she sat it down and opened it. Inside, there was a pacifier, a couple crayons and paper, a teddy bear, a sippy cup, and a few pull-ups. She took out the pacifier and the teddy bear and handed them to him. Link put the pacifier in his mouth and sucked on it happily while hugging the stuffed animal. Zelda giggled at how cute her “strongest knight” was. 

“Alrighty, my Little Knight. Before you get to have play time, you have to eat something for dinner first,” Zelda said. Link pouted.

“It won’t take long, don’t worry,” Zelda opened the door a little bit and peaked out, seeing if there were any maids nearby. She spotted one and called her over, asking if she could bring a glass of milk to Link’s chambers. The maid nodded and went to go grab it.

Zelda stepped back inside and saw that Link had already started wandering around the room, trying to entertain himself. He went over to his desk/work table and found some paper. However, next to the paper was his whittling knife. While he was big, he was working on making some wooden toys but hadn't finished any yet. Link wondered if he could still make them now. So he grabbed the knife and the half-finished wooden korok toy and sat on the floor. Immediately, Zelda ran over to him and took the knife away.

“Link, no playing with sharp objects when you're small, you know this,” She set the knife back on the desk and picked him up. Although Zelda didn’t look like it, she could actually lift quite a lot. Link pouted when he was put down on the bed. 

There was a sudden knock at the door and Zelda knew that must be Link’s dinner. She cracked open the door where the maid stood with the glass of warm milk. She handed it to Zelda, who accepted it gratefully. 

She stepped back inside the room and grabbed Link’s sippy cup. She made sure it was clean before pouring the milk into it and screwing on the cap. She smiled and handed it to Link, who took it and started drinking. He took a couple sips before putting it down.

‘Can I draw now?’ He signed. 

“Not yet, Sweetheart. You need to finish your sippy cup before you can do anything,” Zelda told him. He whined but picked the sippy cup back up and drank the rest of the milk.

“Good job, Little one,” Zelda ruffled his hair a little. He smiled and hugged her. 

The rest of the evening, Zelda spent her time in Link’s room, helping him draw, giving him lots of cuddles, and reading bedtime stories with him. She wanted to make sure that this day had a good ending for him.

Bedtime

Summary: Sky!Link hasn't been sleeping due to the nightmares he's been having lately. Zelda has a plan to help him though

Notes: Takes place right before Skyward Sword

Link sat at his desk in his bedroom, yawning for what felt like the hundredth time that day. Sleep had been very difficult for him as of lately. He had been getting these bad nightmares. There's always a horrifying creature with a large mouth and sharp teeth in them. It always scares the living shit out of him and he’s never able to get back to sleep after having them. So he’s been avoiding his bed for a couple of days.

Zelda knew Link wasn’t himself lately. She was required to take the educational classes at the academy and saw how exhausted Link looked during them. She saw the bags under his eyes. She couldn’t imagine how difficult the sparring classes would be for him. Zelda knew she had to do something to help the boy get some sleep. So one evening after dinner, Zelda walked over to Link’s room and knocked on the door. She had a plan to help him get to bed. 

Link got up from his spot at his desk where he had been studying, and walked over to his door. He prayed that it wasn’t Gaeporo. He was in no mindset to be formal with anyone right now. Hesitantly, he opened the door slowly and was surprised to see Zelda standing there.

“Hey, Link. Can I come in?” She asked. He nodded and opened the door a little more to let her in. Zelda walked in as he closed the door behind her.

“Come sit,” She sat on his bed and patted the spot next to her. He sat down and fidgeted nervously with his fingers.

“I see you haven’t been sleeping lately. Are you alright, sweetheart?” She asked, pulling out the petnames. Link knew what she was doing. She only ever used petnames when he was small. It was easy to tell that she was trying to get him to regress. And with how tired Link was already feeling, it was working.

“Jus nigh’mares,” He mumbled, trying so hard to grasp onto his big mindset, but failing.

“Oh, Link… I’m sorry that’s been happening. But you can’t go without sleeping, Little one,” Zelda said. She played with his hair and pulled him into a small side hug.

Link tried to resist it, he really did, but he was just so tired. He had to get through stressful days with no sleep and act like he was fine. It was difficult and really exhausting. He needed sleepy time and wanted his mama. He sniffled and nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck.

“I think it’s time for someone to go to bed,” She pulled away after noticing him dozing off on her shoulder. He whined and shook his head.

“You have to sleep, baby boy,” She rubbed his back. 

“Don’t wanna…” He pouted and folded his arms. 

“How about I sleep here tonight then? I’ll keep you safe and I’ll even leave the lantern on so it’s not completely dark,” She offered. Link grumbled, still protesting. He didn’t want to go to bed. If he went to bed, he’d have another nightmare and those felt so much worse when he was small.

“If you go to bed tonight, I’ll read you an extra bedtime story,” She suggested. He perked up at that. He loved bedtime stories! So, reluctantly, he nodded.

“Fine…” Link mumbled.

“Good boy,” Zelda patted his head, making him smile, “Now, let’s get you ready for bed,”

First, Zelda thought it’d be good to get him changed into his pajamas. She got him changed out of his tunic and pants and into a pull-up and sweater. After that she led him into his small private bathroom and helped him get his toothpaste on his toothbrush before letting him brush his teeth. She made sure to keep a timer so he’d brush for the full 2 minutes. When he was done, she wiped his lips with a piece of toilet paper and threw it away. 

“Let's get all comfy in bed now, alright?” Zelda cajoled. Link nodded.

The two walked back into the room and Link got comfy underneath the covers of his bed. Zelda opened her bag and took three children’s books out. She set them in Link’s lap before climbing into bed with him.

With Link in her lap, Zelda takes a book and starts to read to him. He’s all snuggled up with his Remlit plushie and paci in his mouth. He slowly starts to doze off before Zelda can finish the second book. She kisses his forehead and dims the lantern before setting the book down. She laid there with him until he was sound asleep. She thought about getting up and going back to her room for the rest of the night, but realized that if Link woke up to a nightmare and saw that she left, he might not trust her again. She couldn’t let that happen. So she decided she would be sleeping there that night, making sure that Link would be nightmare free.

Little Sky!Link Headcanons

I posted art of him so now I gotta do some headcanons!

-Link regresses mainly due to stress and trauma. He usually stays on the older side of a toddler so about 3-4 years old but can get as young as 2. His caregivers are Fi and Zelda, though he prefers to have Zelda caregiver for him.

-Fi's way of caregiving is reminders and helping a little bit with things, but ultimately lets Link do as he pleases while she just watches over him. She wants to help him become independent

-Zelda has a more nurturing way of caring for Link. She gives him lots of affection and isn't very strict. Instead of only helping a small amount, she'd mainly do things for him. Zelda thinks that Link has been independent for too long, especially during his childhood and needs someone that he can depend on.

-When Zelda found out about his regression, she made sure to help him sneak a bunch of little stuff into his room so Groose and his friends wouldn't make fun of him.

-Lets talk Little items now. Link has a plush Remlit that Zelda made for him. it's super soft and he loves it. He's also got a pacifier and chew necklace for his oral stims. and finally, he has pullups. He only wears them at night and when he's feeling 2. Unfortunately, the nightmares make him have some unconscious incontinence.

-Link loves to do crafts and create things when he's small. He'll always be making little cardboard statues and figures or drawing.

-Link also really enjoys flying when he's small! but Zelda has to steer whenever they go flying on their loftwings.

Being Skyloft's hero is tough sometimes and he needs a break from his stressful life. Luckily, regression is the perfect coping mechanism for him.

❤Little Sawyer Headcanons❤

Since I'll be writing a fic with little Sawyer soon, I figured I'd make a headcanons post first! so here we go

-Sawyer usually regresses to a toddler age but sometimes can get to babyspace.

-Their caregiver's are Milo, Damien, and sometimes Oz.

-They prefer quiet, calming activities such as drawing, napping, cuddling, and playing by themself.

-Sawyer regresses due to stress, exhaustion, and when he feels overwhelmed (I also headcanon them as a He/they nonbinary but mainly sticks to they/them).

-It's usually easy to tell when they are small as they become a bit more clingy to their caregiver.

-They have a dragon and teddy bear stuffed animal.

-They usually listen to lofi beats or ambiance when small.

-Sawyer wears padding for comfort reasons! they don't deal with any incontinence issues while small but if given the chance, they will prefer to be padded.

-Milo, with permission, likes to post videos and pictures of them when he's small. They can't help it, theyre too cute!

-Milo found out at camp when they went to wake them up and found them sleeping with their pacifier in their tent. They were super supportive though and already knew about the coping mechanism!

-Damien found out when he saw a post from Milo's caregiver instagram account about Sawyer being a little. Since he was a friend of Sawyer, he also wanted to be a part of Sawyer's littlespace and offered to be a babysitter.

-Oz is Sawyer's best friend and the first one he told about it. They also found out that Oz was a flip with a little lean!

-When Sawyer goes to school, Principal Giant Spider is also pretty supportive of them. He promised them that if they felt little, they could come up to the principals office and he'd call Milo, Damien, or Oz and they could relax in the a medium sized closet in the counselors office that was their designated little area.

That's pretty much it for now! you can send me asks if you wanna see more.

[jacksdinonuggets]
