A snippet from her fic:
The technique took him a decade to master, and even now, it's not perfect. Link lands hard on the ground, and it's not immediately clear where he is. Once he opens his eyes and sees the sky, however, there's no doubt in his mind.
Frantically -- he's waited far, far too long for this -- he runs through the courtyard and up the ramp to the palace, not even acknowledging the startled Twili that he rushes past. This time around, the platforms are easier to navigate; the city's transportation is fully functional without waiting for his prompting. The final ledge that lifts him up to the throne room is the hardest part to bear; after what seemed like a lifetime of longing to return here, the last few minutes are that much more difficult to handle.
Wrenching open the door, Link ignores the guards that immediately flock toward him, shoving them out of his way and sprinting up the stairs toward the tall, elegant figure seated in the elaborate, elevated place of honor. Midna gasps audibly and starts to rise, but Link's too fast. He throws himself into her lap, kneeling before her and crying against the fabric of her sarong.
"Midna," he manages to choke out, resting his cheek against her thigh. "This is much too late of a 'later.' "
Overwhelmed, she pulls the hat away from him in a swift, impulsive gesture. She ducks her head, buries her nose in his hair, and cries along with him. In her eagerness to hold him, she reaches too far and decides to give up on the throne altogether. She, too, falls to her knees and pulls him into such a tight hug that both of them find it difficult to breathe.
"Link," she says, her voice nearly cracking. "Link. I've regretted every second since I, since the Mirror--" She cups his cheek, runs her fingers through his hair, as if to make sure he's real, that she's not just hallucinating. Her eyes are even redder than usual, and she sniffs heavily. "I've missed you so much, I could just die."
The other Twili are utterly silent.

So good to see! 8( That ending was just gaah, I so wished Link could see her again. It was worse than Navi leaving in OoT. Very nice!

Aww, you're welcome! Hehe, your story inspired the other piece with Link in his Twili Prince outfit, which in return inspired a cosplay for my fiance to wear with me as Midna!

Thanks! I'm still in the process of making the mockup, but I will be posting progress pics, so keep an eye out!
We will be attending Dragon*Con, and I will be dressed as Twili Midna and he will be my Link.

...this is FANTABULOUS. *_*; Twilight Princess was the first Zelda title since Link's Awakening that I as a hardcore LinkxZelda shipper could even admit he could totally go with someone else. XD And this is just beautiful. The scene you wrote for it tears at my heart as I am a hopeless sap. :3

I have to now. Apparently I missed that part of the description somehow, and thus am a noob. I'm usually better at reading artist comments, I swear. T_T
