A little Angst Write.
Im going to put it under a keep reading thing because TW: (mild) mentions/refences to torture.
@secretlysheikah you wanted angst right? it's angst based off of a convo on a different server ft. First and Orville.
It had been hours since he had tried to attack the guards and get to Orville. Hours since they had dragged him back to the dungeon and locked him back into his cell. If he had enough slack, he's sure he would be pacing and tearing his hair out. He's not sure he'd actually started to pull out his hair, his worry and fear for Orville trumps any pain.
The lock to his cell door turns and whines open. Link's head whips up as the door opens. His breath catches when he sees the limp form of Orville being held between two guards. He remains frozen as they drag Orville closer to him and just outside of Link's limited reach they let go of Orville and let him fall to the floor. When he hits the floor Orville lets out a quiet grunt of pain, reassuring a part of Link that worried Orville hadn't lived.
Link couldn't take his eyes off of the badly beaten form of his best friend and most outspoken supporter. And that support is what led to Orville being in this state. Link, by sharing his visions and plans to get the people to listen to him, had dragged him down with Link. He had confessed to the crimes he hadn't committed in hopes the mock would stop and spare Orville, but it hadn't if the wounds that littered Orville's body was any indication.
Someone cleared their throat, and Link made eye contact with the guard who had stood near him and demanded a confession while he was forced to watch the horrible things they put Orville through. “For the records, we need you to restate your confession. Your friend will be fine, will live only if you restate your confession.” The guard spat out friend like it's a vile thing. Link notices the scribe only when he shuffles preparing to record what Link said.
Were-were Orville's injuries so severe that he needed medical attention to survive? And that medical attention will only be given if he restated, re-confessed to the crimes he was framed for?
Anything to ensure that Orville lives, that he won't be stuck down here for Link's own actions.
Link opens his mouth to firmly cement his confession to the made up crimes.
When he had finished, he was out of breath from talking so long so soon after talking for so long again. The guard who had demanded the confession jerked his head at the other two and they grabbed Orville. They roughly grabbed Orville's arms and he let out a whine from the harsh movement.
They turned to leave when Link weakly called out voice protesting. "What's going to happen to Orville?" Neither the guards or the scribe bothered to even turn their head back to answer his question. They had all stepped out of his cell when he asked again "What's going to-" the door clanged shut, cutting him off. The lock loudly turned back into place leaving him alone with his thoughts once more.
What was going to happen to Orville? Would they heal him? Lock him into his cell and deny him medical treatment? What if they had lied to him about Orville's condition. Not that he wouldn't have still given his confession again. His mind plagued him with horrible situations, and each chance he got, he asked the guards to tell him what happened to Orville, with no answers. Until Vic arrived for his first of many visits, and Link managed to guilt him into telling him what happened to Orville.
Knowing that Orville was free and had been since that awful day, put his mind and overwhelming worry and fear for his friend at ease.

I'm bored and wanna post something so here, have some of my Zelda Headcanon Word Doc, including Timeline and Character Bios that include each Link and Zelda's parents name along with possible siblings cuz I don't know when to stop

Chapter 1 - every breath feels like a waste, without you there to steal it
On Ao3
Orville’s heart was frozen, long jagged shards of ice that pierced his chest. Hylia stood in front of him across the remains of the old plaza center, holding folded red fabric. Link’s scarf. His breath didn’t reach his lungs.
He didn’t know how many hours it had been since they had been launched into the sky, but the sky was a deep red now. The high altitude wind whipped at his hair. He had stayed at the edge where he’d called out to Link until long after most people had cleared the area. Bentley and Garbhan had stayed with him, and Tollak, though he wisely kept his distance. If he was within reach right now, Orville would either not care enough to even react or throw him over the edge, and not even Orville knew which it would be.
Hylia slowly approached him. Garbhan and Bentley stepped back to give them some privacy while still being nearby. Orville’s gaze didn’t move from the scarf.
She stopped in front of him. “He was dead by the time I reached him.” Orville’s breath stuttered. “I’ve come here to arrange a few things, but I doubt we’ll meet again.” Orville wasn’t surprised at that. She was a goddess, and it had been Link who tied them together in the first place. With him gone…
Hylia opened her mouth and seemed uncertain of what she wanted to say. After a few false starts, she managed, “I’m sorry. So sorry.” She placed the scarf in his numbed hands.
He ignored the wetness on her cheeks as she turned, wandering off in the direction of the goddess statue. There wasn’t yet anything connecting to the small separate island that hosted the statue, but he doubted that would be a problem for her.
He wailed and clutched the scarf to his chest as his knees gave out. He felt Bentley and Garbhan rush to his side. They held each other and cried together. He didn’t notice Tollak standing guard, making sure they weren’t disturbed.
