So, I had a flirty bit of fluff for @zelinkcommunity's event This or That, cake or soup week.

It turns out pure fluff does not hold my attention, so this... is not that. 🙈

Enjoy the spooky soup? (Look, there's some smoochy soup here too, okay.)

Thank you, @raurusthirdeye for poking my dead body with a stick while I laid facedown on the ground and contemplated fic writing. THE THING IS POSTED!

[sparklyhyperbole]

Thanks for the tag! The last line I wrote just today sitting in my car actually:

"When she sits up, the head of Hylia is staring at her, eyes glowing with urgent white light."

From Of Trust and Trickery, chapter 3, which I have rewritten twice now.

&here's a 2 for 1 special, since I also edited my oneshot for Zelink Week today:

"The guards elbow each other and the maids smile and the overturned ants' nest settles."

From House Arrest and Other Subtleties, for Day 7 of Zelink Week.

Ahem. WHO TO TAG?! 😱

@leiladebees, @hurricane105, @abbyzwrites, @flutefemme, @1up-girl, and anyone with a sentence they'd like to post. Because friend, let me tell you, I want to read it. 🙃

Sorry if you've been tagged already.

Uh, last line tag... Thank you @mistresslrigtar!

Maybe he should give her a not so subtle reminder.

From Inspiration, Illusions, and other Inconveniences, coming to you in August!

WIP Wednesday

From Chpt 3 Of Trust and Trickery (the cursed genie AU)

"

What she needs to do is press on. Hunger ought to take a back seat to reason and logic. Gurgly protests sound again, her belly grieving its emptiness. It's an unflattering noise for a princess; demanding and needy. Weak, she thinks, frowning. The same weakness that earned her a place in murderous Yiga hands to begin with.

Her head bows over her arms, scrutinizing bare feet. Dirt rims around her toes, filthy from the floor of her cell and every other step she's taken in this goddess forsaken spit hole.

Several wet droplets plunk down atop her feet, catching her by surprise. Then it's her vision that swims with moisture, and with an even greater sense of ineptitude she's crying against her own will.

Which of course is exactly when he manifests back into the room from within a gust of smoke.

The final chapter of Cherished is here!!! 🥳

[sparklyhyperbole]

WIP ask game for "of trust and trickery" (because of course)

Where did all delectable that tragic backstory/lore for genie Link come from? Somehow I assumed that, just like Disney, we weren't gonna get much of an explanation as to *what* a genie actually is, but this is much more interesting. Will it be brought up within the story as well eventually?

😭 "delectable!!" You flatter me, @pitchblackespresso!! 💖

as for the inspiration, I'm intrigued by the Sheikah Spirit orbs.

Were the ancient monks guarding them for the hero? Were they a form of lifesupport for the monks? And then the orbs were an added benefit to Link? Did Hylia make them? The Sheikah?

What if the monks who turned Yiga took their orbs with them?

And then I flipped through my copy of Arabian Nights before reshelving it and thought about djinn for a while, and here we are!

We begin to unravel Link's backstory in the second half of the 3rd chapter, which is undergoing its fourth (and hopefully final) rewrite currently because THERE IS MORE TO THE BACKSTORY 🥲 and HYLIA LORE and I'm trying to do it justice and also not miss opportunities to show their relationship shifting.

I also keep going 🤔 "I could probably fit this in there," and then deciding no- no- that goes in the chapter 4 bucket. Or even the chapter 5 bucket (which are outlined, praise the lord)

But the bulk of Link's very bad day story will be in chapter 4.

Here's a snippit of Ch 3's beginning;

"

Cats are excellent listeners. They sit patiently, unthreatened by your honesty, flicking their tails every now and then in agreement. Best of all, they never ask leading questions or poke holes in your arguments.

Honeycomb is no exception. She's listened quietly and blinked calmly and sometimes even offered a comforting "ekk," to show she cares. Quite a long while has passed and the novelty of Zelda's presence and voice has worn off.

Yes, Honey is an excellent listener. Though, perhaps too objective an audience— because while Zelda paces circles fretting and muttering, Honeycomb dozes peacefully on the couch, unconvinced of any looming danger.

In fairness, Zelda's voice is very soothing, even when she's saying "I just think it's too simple," over and over again.

Link isn't there to volley rebuttals back and forth about the escape plan they've invented. She asked him to conduct reconnaissance, and off he whisked with a wink and a smirk.

In actuality, it's much easier to think without him there.

They spent what felt like the length of at least two council meetings in deep negotiation; she speculating and trying to see reason while he argued and attempted to curb his temper.

All those hours, and they only have five steps:

Zelda will wear the lamp and a stolen Yiga outfit and hide.

Link will disguise his appearance to be Zelda to fool the Yiga.

He will lead the Yiga on a wild chuu chase through the hideout.

The real Zelda will actually escape out the front entrance.

Link will return to the lamp around her neck either when he's been cornered, or when he's as far from the lamp as he can go, whichever comes first. 

"It's too simple." She tells Honeycomb again, ignoring the very faint cat snoring.

WIP WEDNESDAY!

It's Valentines Day!

And the next prompts for @zelinktines24 I'm working on are much later in the month. 😩

28: veil (final chapter of Cherished)

29: make a wish! (Genie!Link)

So here's a little snippit of Day 29, because it's Valentine's Day! And genie Link is a bit of a troll and I love him.

Synopsis: While attempting to escape from the Yiga hideout she's been imprisoned within, Zelda stumbles into their treasure room and accidentally becomes the unwilling Master of an equally uncooperative genie.

Zelda scans the piles for anything familiar, recalling that several royal relics from the church of Hylia have been stolen through the years. Perhaps she's flattering herself to think she'd be able to escape her captors at all, let alone recover any meaningful relics now that she's accidentally found herself in their treasure horde. Nothing from the torchlit, half hazard hills of gold sings out to her anyway. Instead, her vision alights upon an alcove recessed within the wall. Framed by large sconces and hung on a fine golden chain is a lone pendant—an ancient, marble sized poe lantern. Frowning, she tucks two fingers around the glass and swipes at the dust with her thumb. A blue shimmer swirls inside it. The Yiga are keeping a poe?

She jumps at the sound of a ghostly sigh over her shoulder, thinking her bid for freedom has come to an end. Zelda tucks herself against the side of the alcove, out of sight from the entrance. But no one is there. Several anxious heartbeats confirm it— she's alone.

"What are we hiding from?"  A whisper from above.

Shrieking, she darts away to spin on her heel. He's midnight blue, a floating torso leaning back against the alcove's ceiling with eyes a lighter shade of the same hue. His mop of red hair is half pulled into a gerudo voe head piece. Her panicked stare is travels down to his bare waist, which dissolves below the hip into a plume of smoke, coiling down to the glimmering pendant like a tether.

"My eyes are up here."

Teeth click together and Zelda looks whatever he is full in the face, refusing to be cowed by that tone. What might've been a kind visage is marred by his cold and clever stare. She can read hostility in the way his eyes tighten around the corners. Internal warning bells tone; such an expression belies a mind of equal ice and intellect. A trickster: do not trust.

"You surprised me," she breathes. "I thought I was alone." Pull it together, Zelda commands herself. And for the love of Hylia do not blather.

"The feeling is mutual, I assure you."

There's a beat of predatory silence in which Zelda feels more like prey than before with this rude, blue ghost hulking over her. Goosebumps cling to her skin. His curling smile is souring into a grimace, but he still tilts over to examine her closely.

"You don't appear to be a Yiga."

"Neither do you." But he's evidently important to them. Is he friend, foe— something in between?

His laugh is condescending in the extreme. "May Demise take me before I ever become one. No— I am but the humble genie whose lamp you just rubbed, as I'm sure you're well aware. You may call me Link."

Another unfortunate pause. His eyebrows lift when she doesn't answer, and once again he's chuckling at the expression on her face.

[sparklyhyperbole]

Chapter 2 is here! 😎🧞‍♂️

The enemy of my enemy is my friend... right?
