Foolish, Foolish Girl
From "Calm Waters Run Deep" chapter 8 by @themarydragon on Ao3:
I reached up with my left hand and took a handful of his tunic, grounding myself with his faith. I pressed my face into his chest and took a moment to praise everything, past or present, that had existed to bring this man into my life. “What would I do without you?” “With some luck, you’ll never have to know. My life is yours, Princess.” I felt the last thin thread of resist snap, and the fight went out of me. I loved him. Damn it, damn me, damn him, damn everything to the cold oblivion from which Ganon sprang, I loved him. It was the single most foolish, ignorant, inconvenient thing I could have done, but there it was. I loved him. I loved him. Shit, shit, shit.
Zelda scolds herself as a "fool/foolish girl" several times throughout Trouble the Water when it comes to her feelings for Link, and this was the most foolish thing of all.
