About the AU
Post-OoT canon divergence: Link doesn't return to his childhood once Ganon is defeated.
5 years later, Sheik is a newly realised trans man who is running away from his supposed destiny as Queen of Hyrule alongside Link, the man he saved the world with years ago.
Final wordcount is 87.2k, with 25 chapters and an epilogue. Rated E due to some eventual smut.
BtH was my passion project that explores the events of OoT through the lens of both transness and trauma. Also they're both trans because of course <3
Title from Bite The Hand by boygenius (links to YouTube)
The main fic:

Summary
Set during Ocarina of Time, rather than post-game like everything else. Unresolved romantic tension, homoerotic sparring.

Set about a week into BtH (but not in the actual fic) while Link and Sheik are travelling. Horny yearning.

Post-BtH smut! Set pretty soon after the longfic, but doesn't require having read it first.
