Modern Reader Adopts BOTW Link (Drabble)
Something goes wrong in the Resurrection Chamber. Link is awake, but he has yet to emerge. It's when small cries echo out that the spirit of the former king decided to go investigate.
Link is alive, but regressed in age so much that he's physically and mentally five years old! He didn't have the stanima to climb the wall, nor the strength to move boxes to help him climb over.
Desperate, the king spirit uses a form of ancient, forbidden magic to bring forth someone who could raise Link to be the hero Hyrule needs him to be in 3 years' time.
After getting over the shock of dimension travel, your immediate reaction was rage.
You encourage Link to wear your sound canceling headphones, and then you unleash your anger.
You rip into the ghost king with his past failures, reminding him that this is all his fault. Harshly critique his parenting skills and degrade him for the nerve of sending a child to fight an adult's war.
He argues back that Link is the descendant of a wielder of the Triforce and how some of his predecessors saved Hyrule at eight years old.
You show him Link's hand in response. No triforce symbol there.
"But how can this be?!" The king cried. "He's a direct descendant!"
"You fool. Courage is not a trait one inherits through bloodlines." You reply.
The king then tries to magically speed up Link's growth, but it hurts the child! You attack in retaliation. Ghost or not, you were throwing hands!
Your straightforwardness and protective nature earned you the triforce of courage, and you use it to end the ghost king like Harry Potter did Professor Quirrell. You choose to dwell on the fact that you have magic later and comfort your new son.
The child clings to your shirt, as far as his little arms could reach, and sobs as you cradle and nuzzle him.
"There, there. The bad man's gone now. Mommy made sure he wouldn't be able to hurt you any more."

"Oh so I'm a bad parent?"
No. You're not. And that's what hurts the most.
Because I know that you're not.
I know you love me, I know you care about me, I know how much you suffer so I don't.
But sometimes, sometimes, I can't help thinking that you are.
You love me, but you hurt me just as much.
You hurt me, and I can't wonder but think you hate me.
You would burn down the world for me, yet you burn my heart with it.
I cry you know? Because I hate that I hate you for not loving me enough. I sleep at night wondering, if you love me, why do you hurt me?
And I hate you, because you make me hurt you too.
And I hate myself even more for it.
So please, if you love me, don't make me hate loving you.
Neptune is also a protective father. He is very protective, even if his son is the hero of Olympus and the savior of the world. In his eyes, Percy is such a kid who needs his daddy and his protection.
From the outside, it looks strange - Percy is sitting sweetly somewhere and drinking apple juice through a straw and Neptune is stroking his head with cooing.
some idiot who thinks that he is immortal: "He is already an adult and a hero of Olympus, such a manifestation of care is a little inappropriate." Neptune: *turns him into a small pool of blood* My Seusie, would you like some more tender fish and or juicy beef?
Neptune definitely sees the utter bs Zeus puts his kid through and goes haywire protective mode.
In his eyes, his child is super mentally fragile (especially if it's after of Tartarus.) And will snap at anyone unfamiliar in the immediate vicinity.
Neptune decides to chew out Poseidon and gives him migraines for the next three months.
Neptune gets a mug that says "best godly parent of the year". (Poseidon steals it lol)
I'll do you one better! Papa dragon Lloyd and smol hatchling bby :D
Imma be real with you guys, I think Lloyd is gonna be a great father when he has a kid one day.
He'd be one of those parents who hover over their children, constantly telling them how much he loves them and that no matter what he's always gonna be by their side. You know, because trauma!
He's in a constant fear that he's gonna be like his father one day; That he's gonna leave his kid to fend for themself in a world that's out to get them.
This fear keeps growing and eventually spills over when his kid accidentally hurts themself.
He finally takes the cue to go and actually fucking talk with someone about his emotions and to talk to his teammates.
Oh, and he would also give candy to his kid. Because he would, don't fight me on this.
(Also, Kai tears up every time he sees Lloyd and his kid because this is the man HE raised, the little gremlin who was stealing candy yesterday. Nya is patting his brother on the back and wiping a tear in the corner of her eye. Jay is full-on sobbing every time he holds Lloyd's kid, Cole is standing behind him, watching him like a hawk so Jay doesn't accidentally drop the poor baby. (He and Kai have battled over who is the best uncle. (Spoiler: it's Zane. )) And Zane is shaking his head and making food for everyone.)
