Hi I love you disability au a lot!!! It lives rent free in my brain and I always get so happy when I see stuff about it!!! Also I just info-dumped about your au to my friend for like half an hour, which is very high praise from my autistic brain 💞

Aww that is high praise, thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it. :) 💜

Anyway, take another fic, because I can't seem to stop myself recently, especially when y'all say it's cool, aha.

Time for a bad day

About 2k in length, gen, a bit of h/c but mostly just fluff. This can be read as a sequel to Relapse but also can just be read alone. AO3 link here.

When Time reaches for the door handle, he misses. His fingers brush the cool metal, but his hand doesn't get enough of a grip to turn it. He sighs, then tries again, managing it this time. There's a deep ache in the caverns of his head, filling it with dense wool like someone shoved an entire sweater into his skull. He can barely smell the coffee and bacon as he takes his time on the stairs. At least his feet are protected from the morning chill of the house by nice socks.

Time isn't sure if this house in Tarrey Town is actually a temporary rental like Wild said, or if it belongs to him. The people of this little town are kind and welcoming, and showed them which house to go to without any debate or uncertainty, a few days ago. It amuses Time a little that Wild, the one most likely to be at home eternally camping, except for maybe Hyrule, has two entire permanent residences in his Hyrule. Maybe more, but Time isn't sure what the state of the castle or Castletown is like.

Wherever the house came from, he's grateful they get to use it. There's a fair amount of space here, and they have privacy, which they wouldn't have in an inn anywhere else. They also haven't had to deal with a portal this last week, which isn't entirely unexpected, but still, Time's grateful. He's been a bit spooked by Legend's condition.

Due to the lack of bedrooms and beds in the house, most of the boys slept in the living room. Time's quiet as he gets downstairs. It's a bit of a surprise to see Sky awake in the attached kitchen, sitting on the dining table bench next to Hyrule. They're working on Hyrule's signing again, while Twilight manages the bacon Time smells at the stove.

Hyrule notices him first, turning his direction and signing his name. 'Time!'

Sky turns around at the sign, his hand patting Hyrule's knee to tell him he did it right, and smiles back at Time. His face is pale, and dark circles line his eyes, but he's upright.

Time stands in a spot where he can speak quietly to Hyrule and Sky can see his words. "Good morning. How did you two sleep?"

"All right," Hyrule shrugs, keeping his voice just as low.

Sky's own shrug is a bit strained. He sets a hand on his side, where Time knows a thick layer of bandages covers a rather nasty healing wound, and manages to smile anyway. Time hopes he got some sleep.

"Here," Twilight says, putting a mug of coffee in Time's reach. He does the same for Sky, and gives a markedly smaller one to Hyrule, who clearly knows he's been jipped, but doesn't raise a fuss beyond flicking Twilight's leg.

"Thank you." Time lets the warmth of the coffee trickle into his fingers. "Is anyone else up, yet?"

Twilight answers, leaning up against the dining table while bacon sizzles in the pan. "Wars, he went outside for a bit. I think a couple people are awake, but it seems like most of us got hit pretty hard. How are you?"

"I just have a headache," Time answers, though it's a bit more than that. He takes a chair and drinks some of the coffee, hoping it'll help stave off some of the pain. It usually does, at least a little.

Twilight goes back to the bacon, and Warriors comes back into the house through the back door, letting in a short burst of chilled air. He shuts the door quickly and goes about taking off his gloves and coat and boots, though of course he leaves the scarf on. He waves to those at the table, starts a kettle of water next to the bacon, and joins them.

They all sit in silence for a little while, until Hyrule turns around to hold his hands out towards Warriors and ask for a quiz. Warriors puts down his own coffee with a tired smile and complies. He signs slow sentences into Hyrule's hands, letter by letter, while Hyrule tries to puzzle out the words. He's right more often than not, and Sky shares a victorious smile with Time.

Once Time's coffee is gone, he does feel a bit better. He takes his cup to the sink, helps Twilight move plates of bacon to the table—no eggs, no anything except bacon—and only snags one piece for himself.

"I'm going to check on Legend," he mutters to Twilight, who nods and waves him off.

Time passes the table and weaves through the empty bedrolls scattered on the ground to get to the ground floor bedroom. There are two beds in here, one taken by Legend for the last few days and the other currently shared by Four and Wind, who still look asleep. The curtains are drawn, making it very dim in here, and the bowl of hot lavender water on the dresser has long since gone cold.

When Legend had woken up at the beginning of the week and whined that it was going to be an awful few days, Time worried, but didn't think too much of it. Legend's prone to dramatics, and often complains of pain anyway. It had been humbling, and more than a little concerning, to watch Legend's sarcasm and definitive spark become buried under obvious pain. He insisted it wouldn't last very long, but Time still worries.

At the moment, Legend doesn't look awake. Time hovers for a minute, watching the uneven breaths and unconscious twitching. He hesitates, then lays a gentle hand on Legend's head.

Legend's eyes blink open at the touch, a bit glassy but aware. That's a definite improvement over the last time Time had seen them, three days ago.

"Good morning," Time says softly, trying to not wake up Four and Wind. "You missed quite the party yesterday."

"I heard," Legend mutters. He winces, then shifts his position. Time draws his hand back. "This 's almost over… I feel a li'l better."

"That's good. Warriors thinks a portal might be on its way in the next few days."

Legend grunts his displeasure. "I want a break."

"Unfortunately, this kind of is our break."

"I hate my body."

Time shakes his head. "Is there anything I can get for you?"

"...somethin' hot? I smell coffee."

"I don't think anyone is going to give you coffee, Legend." Time would roll his eye, but that would make his head hurt even more, so he sighs instead. "But I can find you something hot."

Legend grunts again. "Whatev'r. Hey, is everyone okay? After yesterday."

"Mostly." Time folds his arms. "Sky took a hit, but he'll be fine. Hyrule exhausted himself again." Legend scoffs at that. "We fought a few of Wild's guardians, so his scars are giving him trouble again. Wind forgot to put something in his shoe to straighten out his hips and walked too far. Four used crutches for the fight and got blasted against a tree. Wars shouted a lot. Twilight and I took enough potions to be all right."

"Wow." Legend looks up at the ceiling with half-lidded eyes. "We're a mess."

Time sighs and nods his agreement. "We're taking today easy."

Behind him, he hears the rustle of blankets as Four and Wind wake up. He turns to see Four sit up, rub at his face, then toss blankets off of him and go to stand up.

"Four!" Time lunges, reacting before his brain can catch up—or Four's brain, apparently. He manages to grab Four's arm and stop him from hitting the ground. He makes sure they're both okay, then sets Four down on the ground.

"What the hell kind of joke—" Four starts, outraged, then he pauses, seeing his legs. "Oh… I won't say this isn't concerning, but it's less concerning."

Wind looks over the edge of the bed, his expression caught between laughter and concern. "Do you often forget that you can't walk?"

"No. Never mind." Four leans his back against the bed and glances up at Time, scowling. "Thanks, I guess."

"Of course," Time answers with a slight frown. Four's eyes are very, very blue, which is, as Four said, only somewhat concerning. He offers a hand down. "Want help?"

Four sighs, put-upon, but nods. He grabs Time's hand with both of his, and together they work until Four's in his chair again. He straightens out his clothes and starts to finger-comb his hair. Wind hands him his headband from the side table.

"Thanks," Four tells them, almost grumbling, and his eyes are still blue.

"Twilight made bacon and coffee out in the kitchen," Time tells him.

"Just bacon and coffee?" Four snorts, but pushes himself out the door anyway. Time is, once again, glad that Four is small, so most doorways fit both him and his chair.

"What about you?" Time asks Wind.

Wind groans and flops back down on the bed, blankets tangled around his legs. His wooden one sits near the bed, a bit more scratched up after yesterday. "I don't wanna go anywhere. My hips hurt." He lifts his head to scowl over at Time. "And before you say it, I know it's kind of my fault, but that doesn't stop it from aching."

"I wasn't going to say anything."

Legend speaks up again. "Out of curiosity, did you notice if Four's eyes were a color?"

"Blue," Time responds. "I noticed because it was a little odd."

"Mm… yeah, that makes sense."

Wind sits back up, unable to laze about for long. "How does that make sense? Do you know why his eyes change color?"

"I have theories. I'll tell you later when I can think better." Legend pulls the blankets over his head and goes still except for breathing.

Time sighs again, then offers his hand to Wind next. "Let's at least get you out to the couch so we don't bother Legend too much."

"Fine." Wind pushes the blankets around and reaches over the side of the bed to retrieve his blue tunic. "Hey, since we're all stuck inside feeling awful today, do you think we could make cookies?" He grabs his leg, then Time's hand, and stands up.

"You'll have to ask Wild, but I don't think it's too far out of the question."

With Time's minimal help, Wind hops out to the couch facing the kitchen and sinks down next to Wild with a dramatic sigh. Time heads into the kitchen to pour some of Warriors's tea into another mug for Legend.

"You too, huh?" Wild asks Wind, smiling with only half of his face. He has tins of both his ice-chu lotion and his fire-chu lotion out, and it seems that more than just him has partaken of them.

"Me, too," Wind agrees. He dips his hand into the fire-chu tin and slathers some on the end of his left leg, on the stump below the knee. "Hey, Wild, do you want to make cookies today?"

Wild perks up a little. "Actually, yeah. That sounds like fun, and we're stuck here anyway, so…"

Sky leans over the back of the couch to offer them both a plate. "Bacon?"

Wind smiles up at Sky and takes the entire plate. Wild steals a few strips for himself. Warriors stops Time from taking the mug of tea to Legend, only to swap that mug out for another, one that had more of a fruity scent than a floral one. He'd apparently anticipated this already and made one of Legend's favorite kinds of tea. Time sends Warriors a smile, gets a shrug back, and heads past Wild and Wind and Hyrule brainstorming increasingly insane ideas for cookie structures (they're stuck on a castle, right now) to get back to Legend.

If Legend takes one sip of the tea and his eyes fill with tears, due to the pain bypassing his emotional control, then Time won't tell.

tfone character card descriptions

elita-1, ironhide, brawn, trackers, optimus prime, starscream, d-16 (x2), jazz (cogged), b 127, wheeljack, sideswipe

"Elita is a dilligent worker and a leader who always gets the job done, no matter the odds. She always puts dedication to her job first. Elita is proud to have overcome difficult challenges with her peers and come out on top."

"Ironhide, a low-level miner on Cybertron, was inspired by Orion, who had obtained the Transformer Gear, to participate in the revolution to overthrow the rule of the Autobots, and eventually followed Optimus Prime to become a warrior of the Autobots."

"As a classic character in past stories, Dahan (brawn i think idk) was still unknown at this time, just like other Transformers who became famous in the future. He made a special appearance in the movie as a miner without transformation gears."

"Silver Trackers are elite law enforcers under the command of the Enemy and Black Woman (airachnid??), responsible for maintaining order in Iron Fortress and ensuring the safety of the Enemy. They are good at quickly eliminating threats before they take shape."

"Optimus Prime inherited the will of the original Kongs and became the leader of Cybertron. Chosen by the leadership module, he will fight for all sentient life, resist oppression and defend freedom." (I assume original kongs mean the primes)

"Starscream is the leader of the High Guard. He is not afraid to challenge anyone who threatens his leadership, but if he finds that the chances of winning are slim, he will decisively give in."

"D-16 is a hard-working man, and his excellent physical strength always comes in handy when needed. As one of the best miners, D-16 is satisfied with his current life, but he also has a side that desires to break the rules."

"D-16 is one of the best miners, but he also has a desire to break the rules. Under the entrustment of Alpha Trion, D-16 obtained the transformation gear left by (some prime idk) and gained the ability to transform into a Cybertron tank."

"As a low-level miner on Cybertron, Jazz was inspired by Orion, who had obtained the Transformer Gear, and participated in the revolution to overthrow the rule of the Autobots. He eventually followed Optimus Prime and became a warrior of the Autobots."

"B-127 has been alone deep underground in the Iron Citadel for a long time. He has not spoken to other Cybertronians for a long time. When he finally met new Cybertronians, he was always aggressive and chatty, but he meant no harm."

"As a classic character in the past stories, Wheeljack was still unknown at this time, just like other Transformers that became famous later. He made a special appearance in the movie as a miner without a transforming gear." (i dont get it either)

"Death trackers are elite law enforcers under the command of the prime and the airachnid, responsible for maintaining order in the Iacon and ensuring the safety of the prime. They are good at quickly eliminating threats before they take shape."

"As a low-level miner on Cybertron, Sideswipe was inspired by Orion, who had obtained the Transformer Gear, to participate in the revolution to overthrow the rule of the Autobots, and eventually followed Optimus Prime to become a warrior of the Autobots."

these guys are SNATCHED LOOK AT THOSE WAISTS oh my days
