#Muse Answers (Revali)

[fragmentedlegends]

Revali, what are your plans for after the Calamity is defeated? You’ve got a whole future ahead of you, and surely plans just as grand as you already are.

"Of course I do," he answers with a slight fluff of his feathers, "Once I defeat the Calamity alongside the Princess, and I suppose the knight, I'll be busy training the next generation of warriors. No doubt I'll also develop yet another technique or two as unique and power as my Revali's Gale. This war is merely the start of my legacy."

Alignment revali

Alignment // Tell us in detail about your muses' alignment compared to how they see themselves. Do Mun & Muse agree on the same alignment? // @championofdarkland

100 percent he is chaotic / lawful neutral. He might not see himself that way. He might say more chaotic lawful. But I see that he is more towards a neutral alignment. He does what he sees as best for himself most of the time. If it helps his people and Hyrule then thats a good point and an extension of his actions being a good thing.

I don't think we fully agree on the same alignment but it does crossover in ways so I think we agree mostly but not fully on it!

[goldenthreadstories]

@championofdarkland sent a thread ;; ✨ revali maybe this time a memory of the elder of the rito?

As much as he appreciates the Elder especially for taking him under his wing when he was younger and lost his parents. The two strongest memories are of him telling him about the incident - for a young rito like Revali it hit him hard but he is still incredibly greatful for the Elder being there.

The second is the day that he was to be named or asked to be the champion of the Rito. Named their best warrior and fighter. It is the memory that fills him with pride and he can remember the pride in the Elder's eyes - in the future after the corruption of the calamity this memory does bring him a lot of shame for what he did during his time possessed by ganon's malice.

I showed my mum pictures of every muse on my blog and got some HILARIOUS descriptions of who they are as people, so now I am sharing this.

Please enjoy. I did.

Okay here's my blog promo picture, which is what I used to show her all the muses. I'm going to go row by row and tell you how she described each character (some were in pairs, I'll say when that happened)

First, Asahi: "Almost like Clark Kent. A geek sat in his office and then he goes and does something amazing." 8/10. He's not superman but he is surprisingly good when he steps onto the court.

Norman: "Wants to be a private eye." 5/10 not quite accurate, but I could see it.

Gemima, who got paired up with Conny: "They're just annoying. Just look at them, you know they're annoying." 1/10 it was funny, but they're very sweet little girls.

Bruce: "Thinks he's gorgeous." 0/10 ma'am you do not know the self-hatred this man possesses.

Kili hilariously got paired with Fili, and my mother said they both look like they're thinking: "Where the fuck did I park my horse?" 25/10. She has never seen the hobbit and I laughed SO HARD because she knew if anyone was going to lose a horse it was those two idiots.

Jedediah was missed because she recognised him and wouldn't have had to guess his character.

Oikawa: "Boring." 2/10 it's funny because he'd be so insulted, but he's far too dramatic to ever be boring.

Ray: "Angry." 10/10 perfectly accurate.

Emma: "A trendsetter." 7/10 Technically she did inspire an entire crazy escape plan, so I'll take it.

Camilo: "The annoying friend who sings everything." 5/10 accurate, but I deducted points because despite loving Encanto and having watched it multiple times, my mum did not recognise Camilo and thought he was a girl XD

Pietro: "Super fast. If he ran it would be fast. If he rode a horse it would be fast. He'd want to be moving fast." 8/10 I think the icon gave her too big a clue (though she said she didn't realise he was running and thought his hand was up because his wrist was broken), but I would LOVE to see Pietro's superspeed transfer to a horse.

Ori: "He has a speech impediment and is a bit slow." 0/10 more of an unfair judgement than my mother usually gives people, and not accurate at all. Ori is very smart and I love him.

Revali: "Bit of a mean bastard." 10/10 perfect yes he is.

Yamaguchi: "Looks shocked at the world." 9/10 he is, in fact, intimidated by most of the world, so I'll accept that as a correct answer.

Kagari: "Wants to be in a boyband." 8/10 not correct but given that my depiction of Kagari is deaf, I did laugh quite hard at the irony.

Don: "Know-it-all. Thinks he knows everyone's secrets and he doesn't." 3/10 Don does like to think he knows more than he does, but he definitely doesn't think he's really super smart and knows everything about everyone.

Bilbo she vaguely recognised (enough to know he was a Hobbit) but had nothing to say about him.

Thaumas: "Physically strong." 6/10 his whole character is he's too pretty and wants to be left alone because too many people are into him, but there's nothing to say he isn't also physically strong.

Viktor: "What happened to it's eyes?" 9/10 I have no words.

Tsukishima: "He has a 'fuck off' expression." 10/10 yes he does.

Hawthorn and Attalea she had nothing to say for because she 'wasn't sure what was happening'.

Damien: "That's Billy Bullshit. He's two-faced." 3/10 technically he keeps the two sides of himself very separate, but he's not mean or bitchy and he's learning to embrace every part of himself and I love him for that.

Piers: "Scary." 6/10 he's a sweetheart but many young pokemon trainers would agree with my mum XD

Miguel: "Geeky gay Jesus." 10/10 not accurate but sheer perfect anyway.

Nori: "He's a wannabe wizard." 9/10 not AT ALL but I loved that anyway.

Tyler: "He wants to be a personal trainer but he can't." 4/10 it was funny but he dresses that way because he's gay and also we have watched Turning Red more than once so again, I don't know how she didn't recognise him at all.

Kenma: "A sulky teenager." 9/10 yep. Yep he is XD

Lucien: "He looks gay." 9/10 he would be very happy to know that he is not being mistaken for a heterosexual being

Jack got missed because, like Jedediah, she knew who he was.

Ryan: "He thinks he's the strongest but he cries if he can't find the red skittles." 10/10 I have NO IDEA why she went for skittles but she's completely right.

Takuto: "Tarty, because she reminds me of somebody." 6/10 well yes, Takuto could be described as a tart, but is not a she, and now I want to know who he reminds her of XD

mun(day) questions / @hyruin

what is your favourite canon muse?

i um. i can't choose. i can't choose sdlfkjf there are definitely some i would reach for first to answer this question over others, but i have? so many favourites?? i'm going to discount tp zelda because i've talked about her enough, i feel :'D

can i just cheat and say all my little guys? i have many, but most notably tulin ( and the crowd goes silent with non-surprise ), toothless from httyd, and young link from oot/mm ( i know i haven't spoken a word of him but he's my og son! at least in terms of the zelda series! i have no muse for him the way i have no muse for my queen, but if given the opportunity to write him again...! i'd take it! )

also, he's not a little guy, but honourable mention to revali for taking up a ridiculous amount of brainspace since i saw him and finally wriggling his way into a muse slot after all these years asflkdfj there is just so much to him. i actually don't read zelda fics ( don't ask me why when i clearly love writing for these games, i just don't ), but he and tulin are the sole exceptions to this rule...in that i have read like one (1) zelda fic involving them since totk dropped afkljsd but that means a lot coming from me!

who is your favourite OC?

i reached for kido immediately, but that may also be because he's the only oc i'm actively writing as of the moment? would dineli count as an oc? i mean. i've swiped him from nintendo at this point, he's mine now sfkldjfl i did used to write a zora oc for an affiliated group that i was fond of — that i would translate to vah ruta's first champion if i were to write him now, in an independent muse context...

ultimately, i think i'd stick with kido! something about your average kid being touched by world-ending tragedies that don't actually end the world, just his, and learning to heal from them, because there is more to life than what was first given to him. it's just very freeing to write with him, plus i've talked before about how i like seeking out the quieter narratives in any given media. it's also exciting to have him still be developing! it's very slow-going development, and i hope to stick around long enough with this blog to see it go somewhere, but i'm happy that it's there at all.

thanks for these, blue!! ♡

[aninevitablemultimuse-a]

which of your muses is the most friendly to strangers? which is the least friendly?

Ooh, well most friendly would probably be Attalea. She will try to befriend anyone and everyone and if they're not enthusiastic right away she'll just keep on trying.

As for least friendly to strangers, I'd have to say Revali. There are others that are shy and/or kind of antisocial so they're not exactly friendly, but Revali is the one who would actively tell somebody he just met that he doesn't want to waste time talking to them, so he wins that round. Staz is fairly close second though.

(Sorry this isn’t a direct response, tumblr wasn’t letting me add images through ask answering bc it upgraded to the new post editor and i have a terrible feeling said new editor doesn’t work on firefox.)

_

Ohohohoh three at once! You give me a challenge! :3

Link:

Link is my linchpin favorite for LoZ, and given the patterns of all my past fictional faves, it's not really hard to figure out why XD

I'm obsessed with the soft-hearted martyr complex types, the ones who are carrying the world on their shoulders and are so, so resistant to ask for help... who have been through literal hell and somehow by a MIRACLE have emerged from those times and remained kind. I'm also a huge sucker for the "destiny" trope and all its varying possibilities, be that being shackled to it, deconstructing it, or outright defying it, and Link gives me ample opportunity to explore plenty of those ideas!

But of course, canon itself doesn't give me a TON to go off of, and I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the popular fanon portrayals, so I just ended up developing my own take on the silent hero for the purposes of my fic work. He’s a fun one to spin headcanons and theories about, and he bounces so easily off of all the characters around him.

___

Revali:

Revali is probably one of the most interesting characters in BotW, but only to people who spend a lot of time psychoanalyzing personalities. He acts like an asshole in nearly all the scenes he’s in and sometimes I wanna just SLUG him, but I understand where it comes from. It all stems from such relatable insecurity, and frankly... even though his boasts can be annoying, he DOES have the skills to back it up. All of this makes it really easy to come up with theories and musings about his past and upbringing.

____

Sidon:

Sidon is... so just to preface, my circling “don’t care about them” doesn’t mean I dislike him, it just means that in the grand scheme of LoZ musing I don’t spend a lot of my time thinking about this character. What we see of him projects a solid personality, though. He’s an NPC I’m always glad to go talk to. I tend to think he’s a lot sadder than he lets on, though- the boundless optimism feels like a mask.

(Mostly it’s just that a big chunk of fandom is OBSESSED with Sidon, and- I think he’s neat, but I’m not into him to THAT degree?)

Chapter 17

Field Care 101

“Please don’t move”| hemorrhage | dread

Fic Summary: After the world as she knew it was destroyed by the corruption of Malice, Zelda allies herself with her saviors from captivity: a disgruntled former governor, an alert paramedic, a cocky pilot, an excessively overt optimist, and a blind strategist. While the corrupted, malice-filled Yiga Clan looks for revenge on them, Zelda has to learn how important it is to find family in others... and how much more dangerous the stakes become if she fails to protect them.

Previous/ Chapter Index/ Next

~~~~~~~~~~

Zelda followed Link out of the room, hobbling a bit as she cradled her arm and forced her underused legs to remember how to work. It took a bit, and they burned with pins and needles, but it got to a tolerable point, and she managed to focus once again.

Link leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, resting his head back against. Urbosa had a sword in her hands, and she was running a cloth along it time and time again, keeping the blade pristinely clean. Even Mipha had a pitchfork, three prongs sharp. Effective, but flimsy. Zelda had a feeling she could reinforce that if she just had…

“Here,” Revali said, thrusting something into her hands.

Zelda startled and sat back before her mouth fell open. “Where did you get this?”

“Made it. It’s not great, but it’ll do for now.”

Zelda stared at the handcrafted bow in front of her. Sure, it wasn’t the most beautiful thing, but after losing her homemade metal bow to the Yiga, receiving this was an unexpected blessing. He even set a pile of arrows beside her.

“I had some time to kill,” he mused, huffing and crossing his arms. “Figured better to do this than to let all that time go to waste.”

The smile that spread across her face spoke louder than words as she ran her hand along the arrows. “Revali, thank you.”

“Well, don’t get all soft about it. I needed more arrows too.”

“Of course,” Zelda said with a smile.

Revali’s lips twitched up, but he huffed and walked away to grab his own things again.

Link walked forward, though he stopped between them all. “Do we know how many there are?”

Revali huffed. “I didn’t stop to ask them once they started to chase me. I counted fifteen before I was spotted.”

Humming thoughtfully, Link leaned on his staff. “Revali and Zelda should take the back with Mipha and I. Fire first, and focus more on keeping them together so they don’t scatter and surround us. If a few arrows miss, that’s acceptable if it’s keeping them herded. Urbosa and Daruk, you should both take point. Obviously, you’re both our best fighters.”

“In close combat,” Revali muttered, just loud enough to be heard.

“Why don’t we just run?” Zelda asked. “They’re Malice ridden, and they’re outnumbering us.”

Link didn’t answer, and neither did Revali. Urbosa, on the other hand, put her hand on Zelda’s shoulder. “We don’t leave anyone behind. We always take care of our own. And right now, you and Link are not capable of running the speed, or distance we’d need to outrun them. So, we stay and we fight.”

Zelda swallowed. “This is… my fault?”

“No, little bird, it’s not. We could have gotten you father when we first picked you two up. We could have found that hoard earlier and had more time to move. We don’t question our every action, because then that endless line of questioning never disappears. ‘Was it our fault?’ No. It was several things that all happened at once to cause this.”

Sighing, Zelda nodded, though Urbosa’s words were little more than an attempt at comfort to her. It was her fault, and she knew it.

That thought got her through the first volley of arrows.

Several crazed bokoblins, tongues hanging out, eyes wide and bloodshot with the effects of Malice, ran towards their abandoned house that they’d stationed around. Zelda and Revali were on the hill that led to the front door, Link and Mipha were at the base of the hill, and Urbosa and Daruk were out and ready.

Zelda and Revali took out several bokoblins while they kept them corralled, and the rest went straight to Urbosa or Daruk. Zelda heard Mipha call out to Link at one point. “On your right!” And Zelda had turned to make sure he was fine, only to see him expertly swing his new staff around and jam it through the bokoblin’s stomach before pushing it off and away with his foot.

Bokoblins, on principle, were not terribly threatening, but when they swarmed, they swarmed. Zelda and Revali quickly ran through their arrows, and followed Revali when he ran forward, scooping up discarded arrows and shooting them again.

The moblins were more difficult, but Zelda didn’t even have to worry about them. Daruk and Urbosa were on them quickly, and soon, surrounding their broken little cottage was a massacre of carnage and green bokoblin blood mixes with the purple ooze of Malice.

“Is everyone all set?” Urbosa called out, pulling Daruk with her through a safe path around the corpses.

Daruk laughed heartily, bent down, and picked a trinket before pocketing it.

“You’re disgusting,” Revali muttered, helping Zelda out of their mess. He turned to her. “Are you alright? Was that too much so soon after your injuries? I won’t tell the others.”

Zelda looked around and leaned into him. “We do what we have to, right?”

“Hrmph. That we do.”

The four of them returned to Mipha and Link, only to see them in a hushed argument.

“Link!”

“Mipha!”

Zelda rolled her eyes as she neared. Their childish back and forth didn’t surprise her.

“Link, please! Stop being such a child! Adults accept the help they’re given.”

“I’m not a child! I’m not Sidon! And I don’t need help!”

Mipha grabbed his arm. “Good thing you’re not Sidon, or I’d be able to ground you. But unlike you, he’s safe. You’re not.”

“I am fine!”

Mipha tore the staff from his hand and tossed it to the ground. “I will say this kindly one more time, and then I will have Daruk or Urbosa hold you down, okay? Please don’t move.”

Zelda’s brows scrunched together and she circled Link before noticing a small gash on his side through his shirt, leaving a red line.

He stayed still, likely afraid she’d follow through on her threat, and Mipha lifted his shirt, fiddling with something while he groaned and clenched his teeth.

“Fine. We need to wash it out. Let’s go back inside.”

Urbosa made a face. “Inside? Here? We have a pile of dead bokoblins here. Can you give Link a patch job and then we’ll fix him at the next available house?”

Which, for their safety, they did.

Zelda and Link limped on, using the others as support until a wrecked apartment appeared in the distance.

They settled in it, getting Link and Zelda onto the second floor while Urbosa and Daruk took watch on the first, and Revali took the window on the third. Mipha would stay on Link and Zelda’s second floor to watch them.

Zelda took a quick shower, unsure how long the water would even last, but needing to get days of gunk and Malice off of her. Link went in after her, swapping places. He’d been with Mipha, and Zelda went there next.

“Does it still hurt?” Mipha asked as she unraveled Zelda’s bandage on her arm.

“Yes,” Zelda muttered miserably. “I don’t know if there’s going to be a way to get it out. Or if I’ll die eventually from it.”

“We’ll all die eventually, Zelda. Link did well getting most of it out, and I have seen Malice kill faster than this. I don’t think you’ll die from this.”

For a moment, Zelda felt a surge of hope. Mipha was the expert. She’d treated Malice before. She’d scraped it off those who had it on their skin, and clearly done what she could to clean up after Link’s attempt.

But when the rest of the bandage came off, a pit of dread bubbled up in her stomach, and she nearly threw up.

Essentially, there was a hole carved into her arm, and purple veins surrounded it. It was attempting to scab over, but there was still a long way to go. The bandage stuck to her skin, and tears of pain, disgust, and embarrassment sprung to her eyes.

Mipha wrapped her fingers around Zelda’s arm comfortingly. “It was worse before. This is healing nicely, believe it or not.”

“Not,” she scoffed, letting her nail run along one of the purple, Malice-filled veins on her arm.

So, Zelda sat in silence while Mipha replaced the bandages, determined not to show just how much it all terrified her. Because if Malice turned creatures into demons, and humans into monsters, what would the amount inside her do to her?

Failure // What was their biggest mistake or failure? Did it define them in any way or capacity? (for Revali)

Straight off the bat the first one that comes to mind for either him being a spirit in the future or my corrupted calamity verse. His biggest failure is losing to Wind blight Ganon - not being to perform his duty as a chosen champion and having to leave it to Link.

But that is the easy answer and not that it doesn't define him, cause it certainly humbles him down in the future.

I think that his biggest mistake that I think really defines Revali at least to me. His inability to let anyone get close to him. Yes his defeat at the hands of Wind blight Ganon and then getting corrupted does form the path for that in the future.

But his inability to do so before this point is his downfall and mistake. All that ego and pride, yet he didn't really have anyone he could call his friend. There was some he was close to due to circumstances - the other champions. But this was more because all had the same duty more than true friendship.

If he had true friends, maybe when he meets Link again even while corrupted, perhaps it would have been a little easier to get through to him, to help him sooner so that his scars wouldn't run so deep after what he did.

His biggest failure was not defeating the blight that invaded his divine beast. His biggest mistake was not letting anyone in before it was too late.

@heartlessdream sent in an ask ;; ✨ revali

Time with his parents.

There was an incident that took them from him when he was a young Rito. Maybe his prideful nature had come from not knowing them overly well and wanting to make them proud.

Remembering his favourite hazy memories - archery with his mother and watching his father craft bows for the Rito. His father's prized bow the Eagle bow that he proudly carries and fights with.

A bow that might be held by him but a symbol of his family and his parents, heavy with the weight of it but also the strength he gathers and gets from it too.

i’ll make it 4 words if you don’t mind <3

star of my heart with romantic revalink! thanks!!

Star of my heart

“I’m cold,” Revali said.

Even in Hebra, amidst the ever falling snow and the peaks of ice, the Rito remained warm, covered with feathers. However, Revali lied anyway, expecting Link to decipher the truth under his words.  

The white, delicate feathers that hung over the roost tembled, signaling the beginning of a storm. The wood of the flight range creaked. It was an old structure, built by the Rito of a past long gone. Inside, quiet flames engulfed the cooking pot at the center, warming the place with a comfortable heat. 

Link, making sure their meal cooked appropriately, didn’t reply to Revali, perhaps too absorbed in his task. 

After a moment, he met his gaze, his far-seeing blue eyes unwavering. 

Link had thin sandy hair and a small mouth. His face was dotted with freckles, product of hours spent under the sun. He was of juvenile features, though there was an edge to them. His boyish air hid the truth, for Link was the deathly Hylian Champion.

“Cold?” he repeated, slowly.

Revali looked away, tempted to hide his face under his wings. 

“Cold,” he said. 

Link’s gaze drifted to the pot. He stared at it for a moment, as if waiting for it to tell him what to do. Outside, the wintry gales howled, drowning the gentle crackling of the flames. Yet, as tempestuous as the weather was, the flight range was warm. 

“I’m not,” Link said, gesturing to his clothes. He was clad in the snowquill armour, which was made of feathers. Revali scowled, for he understood what Link was alluding to.

Link sat next to him anyway and, in a gesture that was becoming more natural with every passing day, Revali wrapped a wing around his shoulders. 

Link closed his eyes and leaned his head against his shoulder. Revali raised his wing carefully, caressing Link’s weather-beaten face. Neither said anything, too embarrassed (or comfortable) to shatter the silence. Revali melted into Link’s touch, letting a sort of peace take over him. 

“This is nice,” Link said, his voice barely a whisper. 

“Yes, it’s decent,” Revali said

Link laughed. Revali felt the push of the boy’s giggles against his chest, which made him smile.

 “You are decent,” Link said, lips curled in a goofy smile.

“Indeed I am, unlike some hell-raisers here--”

Link straightened up and looked at Revali with defying eyes. They stared at each other for a couple of beats, the tension purposefully building between them. Finally, Link poked Revali’s chest, eyes bright as if he’d come up with the best insult, “Oh really? Well, you’re dirty.”

Link hadn’t finished speaking when Revali burst into laughter. Link looked confused, expecting Revali to be deeply affected by his words (rightfully so; after all, Revali had a tendency to be offended by the faintest insult). 

“I’m not,” Revali finally said, breathless from laughing, “You, on the other hand, smell unwashed.”

“Unwashed…” Link repeated, a slight frown creasing his forehead. Link looked at Revali, far-seeing blue eyes staring at him. Revali forced himself to look back. “Are you... asking me to take a bath?”

“Yes,” Revali replied mindlessly. Link nodded, eyes hard with resolution, and got up. Revali frowned, reaching a wing in his direction,  “Where are you going?”

Link paid him no mind. He leaned over to check on the cooking pot. Satisfied, he turned to his sword and picked it up swiftly.

“To the lake.”

“Not right now, you dunderhead,” Revali snapped. “The lake is frozen. It's winter.” 

Link’s resolve faltered. He placed his weapon where it had been and sat on the wooden floor, letting his attention slip back to the pot. Revali almost called him back, but he dared not. What would Link think? He would judge him needy and clingy, both adjectives that Revali did not want associated with him. 

He didn’t want Link to know how much--  how important he had become in his life, which was ridiculous because, well, he had. Why hide such an obvious truth? He didn’t know, but when he thought about telling Link, he felt as if tight claws were clutching his heart. 

Maybe he wasn’t ready, which honestly was stupid. Or maybe he was nervous. A love confession is a big deal, after all. It is giving the key of one’s heart to someone, being willing to be vulnerable, and that--

That terrified Revali. 

So he said nothing, watching Link cook their meal with a gentleness he had just recently noticed. Despite all, Link wasn’t a man of war, or, at least, on occasions he didn’t seem to be. His eyes were soft in the quiet moments. 

He was so caught in his web of thoughts he didn’t notice Link approaching him. He held out a bowl of soup, which Revali accepted after a brief hesitation. Link sat next to him, though this time their shoulders barely touched. 

They ate in silence, watching the flames embrace the pot. 

The soup had a sour taste. It was good, though never had Revali eaten something of similar flavour. Link sighed happily and placed his empty bowl on the floor, eyeing him curiously. 

“This is nice,” Link said. Revali looked at him, and to his surprise, a bittersweet smile was curving his lips, as if he were already longing for the present moment. “I never get to-- the life at the castle is so hectic.”

He looked down at his intertwined hands, rubbing his thumbs together. They were calloused, scarred with traces of past battles. Revali wanted to hold them.

“I imagine,” he said. 

“I like it here,” Link said suddenly. He took a shaky breath before continuing, “I like… I like Rito village.”

Even though his lips quivered with nervousness, there was nothing spectacular about his words. Rito village was a tourist attraction for Hylians. It wasn’t a surprise Link found its views fascinating. 

“You like that everyone is willing to invite the hero to dinner,” Revali said, a hint of bitterness in his voice. 

Link looked at him with wide eyes and laughed, the sound sincere and simple. Revali felt his chest tighten, overcome with emotion. 

Eventually, the laughter ceased. An oddly peaceful moment followed. Link wore a loose smile on his lips, though it lingered only for a moment before setting into a neutral, tight expression. Revali ate slowly, savouring his meal. The sun was starting to set, descending into the horizon and casting dim shadows over the land. 

Link extended his hands in front of the flames, seeking its warmth. 

“Why did you hate me?” Link asked, voice small.

Revali looked up, astonishment contorting his face. He opened his beak to say something, but closed it again tightly. Even though he had written in his diary myriads of resentful entries about the Hylian Champion, he had never been asked to speak them out loud. It wasn’t as if-- Revali did not hate Link anymore. He wasn’t sure when his anger had dissipated, but it had. 

It was weird. He knew exactly what had vexed him about Link, and in fact, he still considered his reasoning to be extremely sound. What Revali didn’t have was the drive to despise Link anymore. Instead of hate, a new emotion had found its way to his heart, even more passionate than anger.

“I did not hate you,” Even as the words left his mouth, Revali knew he was speaking bullshit. Link glanced at him, incredulous. Revali merely averted his gaze. What? Would he have preferred the cold, bare truth?  “Do you really care about that when everything has--?”

“I do,” Link said in an outburst of emotion uncharacteristic of his stoic self. He glared at Revali, the icy stare penetrating. They stared at each other for what felt minutes; Revali trying to keep a neutral facade, Link scowling at him.

Link was the first to break eye contact. The spark of fury in his eyes dissolved, and an expression of dullness settled on his face. 

“I do,” he repeated, quietly.

“If you started to hate me again I--” Link gulped and forced himself to continue, voice hoarse, “do you hate me?”

“No. I don’t--” Revali paused, thinking. There were a lot of things he could say to Link. He could apologise. He could open his heart and hope Link wouldn’t turn away in disgust. Or he could… say the truth, even if five words weren’t enough to convey the extent of his feelings.  “I don’t hate you.”

Link looked down. There was no emotion on his face. “A hollow knight,” Revali thought, though he knew better. 

“You are the star of Hyrule,” Revali said, for the sake of filling the silence. “Everyone speaks about how gifted and talented you are. The King--”

Link shook his head. He said something, but his voice was so faint Revali barely heard it. 

Sorry.

“Don’t,” Revali said. “You work as hard as the rest.”

“I’m just-- an assbird,” Revali said. 

Link snorted.

The knot of tension in Revali’s stomach became undone. The silence became lighter, more bearable. Revali finished his meal and gazed to the exterior of the roost, where ruthless gales howled as if they wanted to tear the world apart. Revali frowned, pondering if his gale would ever be as relentless as the ones of nature.

He was determined to make it so.

“I don’t know what Hyrule thinks of you,” Link mused. Revali was tempted to reply he wasn’t thinking hard enough. Hyrule viewed him as a sidekick, a secondary character whose only purpose was to make the leads shine brighter. Sometimes, he even thought Hyrule didn’t think of him at all.

Link placed his hand atop of Revali’s wing, letting his touch linger.

“I don’t know what Hyrule thinks of you,” he repeated quietly, “but… you’re the star of my heart.”

Link smiled nervously, averting his gaze. Revali couldn’t muster an answer, as much as he attempted to. What had that been? Link had never-- had that been a fucking pick up line? No. It must have been a compliment. Link seldom gave them, but it wasn’t discardable. After all, Revali was a skilled archer-- the most skilled of all. 

“Was that good?” Link asked awkwardly. His face was  beet red. He sounded nervous, anxious even. Link fiddled awkwardly with his hands, looking at them as if they were the single most interesting thing in the world. 

Oh.

So Link had been flirting. The realisation didn’t scandalise him. It was as if he knew, not because he was arrogant, but because their relationship had been headed in that direction or a long time. Neither of them dared to admit it, though, and that was okay.

“Link,” Revali said, masking his emotions, “Why did you ask that? It ruined the moment.”

“The Rito don’t blush. How would I know otherwise?”

Revali stared at Link, raising an eyebrow. The Rito, contrary to Hylian beliefs, were an expressive species. If Link didn’t notice the small details, he would have time to do so. They would have time to learn to be with each other.

“It was good,” Revali admitted, almost begrudgingly.

Revali rarely allowed himself to think of the present. His entire existence had been aimed to the future. “Right now I’m nocking the arrow,” he thought to himself, “Someday, I will shoot.”  He only marched forward, for if he looked back, he was scared to see nothing behind him. He had dedicated his life to a success he couldn’t yet grasp. 

But for the first time in a while, Revali let himself just be. 

Outside, the chilly currents blew. The sun had set, and shadows had spilled over Hebra. Link was by his side, looking at him with those piercing eyes of his. 

Revali didn’t love Link, not yet. However, he could love Link. Tomorrow. Someday. The possibility was both exciting and terrifying. If he allowed his emotions to bloom, if he opened his heart, their relationship would flourish. There was no pressure, no goal other than to enjoy each other’s company. They could take it slow, opt for the small steps rather than a leap.

After all, they had time.

Prompt Challenge #2 

Prompt: “Alyss eats a mighty banana around the campfire with the Champions”

WARNING - Slightly NSFW

    It was the middle of summer in the Kingdom of Hyrule and the Princess was in the very beginning of her trip to unlocking her power gifted by the Goddess. The closer the group got to the Faron Region, the more they felt as though they were absolutely swimming in soup which made almost everyone miserable. Alyss walked next to Mipha who had no issue with the humidity while Daruk, Urbosa, and Revali followed behind. 

    “Must we walk through this abhorrent weather,” Revali asked more than annoyed at the wet air, “my feathers are starting to matte.” He held out his wings and tried flapping them to dry them off to no avail. 

    “Aww, worried about our image are we,” Alyss asked over her shoulder, not catching the daggers Revali threw her way as she snickered at her clever comment. “Don’t worry Princess we should be there soo-” she kept on until she was cut off by a large lightning bolt striking too close to the company for anyone’s liking. At this new storm, the Princess and Urbosa led everyone to a nearby cavern to escape the rain and potential danger which was well received by the rest of the group. 

    When inside of the cave, Alyss helped Link start a campfire before sitting down between Mipha and Daruk, pulling her knees to her chest. She watched as everyone took their time getting settled and comfortable by the fire, but the most interesting person for her to watch was Revali. Smirking, she watched as he quietly preened his wet feathers trying to get out the matting his sweat caused. 

    “I can’t wait to get back somewhere cooler, this is embarrassing,” he mumbled angrily. His comments were ignored for the most part by the group, however when he was finished his emerald eyes made contact with Alyss’s purple ones. He furrowed his eyebrows as he continued to hold her eye contact, silently asking what her deal was, but eventually his frustration in her lack of an answer caused him to “tch” and turn away. 

    “Well,” Urbosa started, walking back to the group and sitting against the wall of the small cave. “This storm doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon and it would be extremely dangerous to walk around in it so we should take this time to rest.” Everyone seemed pretty frustrated by the sudden storm but as far as Alyss can remember the Faron region was always ravaged by random storms. 

    Alyss sighed and reached into her small bag and pulled out a hand of bananas that she had picked off of a tree she found while walking the terrain. Her eyes held a certain glimmer of excitement as she had not had a mighty banana in quite a while and she was excited to partake in the sweet taste of the yellow fruit again. After offering a banana from the hand to each person in the group, Alyss slowly peeled the yellow flesh of the fruit back to expose the soft, white meat. 

    Using her tongue to wet her lips in anticipation of the taste, Alyss took her time in eyeing up the banana in excitement . Little did she know that a certain grumpy Champion had been intently watching her. Said Champion found it hard to pull his eyes away from the look Alyss had been giving the fruit, but the booming voice of their beloved Goron had broken his, less than pure, train of thought. 

    “So Alyss, indulge us, when was the last time you had a mighty banana?” he chuckled before slapping her on the back a little more gently than he would have to Link. “You look like you’re excited to devour it.” Daruk finished as Alyss looked up at him with pure child-like wonder glimmering in her eyes. 

    Nodding her head she rocked until she was on her knees, careful not to get the fruit dirty, so she could see Daruk’s face a little better over his shoulder. “Ah,” she uttered as she sucked in a breath. This small noise did not help the predicament that the brooding Champion had found himself in when he was watching her devour her banana with her eyes. “You see Daruk, I cannot remember the last time I indulged in a mighty banana, but-” she laughed reminenscently and laid her small hand on Daruk’s arm, “- 10,000 years will fade some memories.” Daruk joined her in her merriment, as did everyone else, as they waited with baited breath for her to take a bite. 

    It wasn’t long before she gave everyone what they wanted. Revali watched with a sharpness and hidden eagerness that he honestly had never experienced before. She was eating a banana, it wasn’t anything new. He has witnessed plenty of his kind partaking in the delicious fruit that travelers would bring, but no Rito made him internally squirm as much as Alyss did. She was infuriating. She was delightful. She made walking with the company easier to manage while simultaneously making him wish he didn’t have to look at her at all. Revali watched as Alyss’s soft, pink lips wrapped over the tip of the banana so she could take a small, testing bite. The sight caused Revali to suck in a slightly audible breath but quickly he covered it up with a fake cough. Revali turned his head, pretending to not care, considering he couldn’t excuse himself from the situation, but he had no idea that Link had heard and witnessed his reaction to the Sheikah and was silently planning. 

    “Well,” Princess Zelda said excitedly, breaking the slight tension in the air emanating from Revali. “How was it?” The Princess finished practically jumping up and down where she sat. She seemed to share the thoughts of everyone else in the group except Revali who was pretending he could absolutely care less. 

    “Oh goddess it’s absolutely amazing,” Alyss moaned happily unknowingly causing Revali’s skin to crawl in a sensation he tried not to humor. Alyss went on to happily muse about the delicious fruit with the other Champions until the storm had finally lifted. 

    “Finally,” Revali shouted as he jumped up to his feet and walked outside, slightly catching everyone off guard. The moon had started to rise just barely letting Revali know it had been about an hour or so since they had to take cover. “The storm is lifted and we should get to the Spring before another one pops up.” He motioned to the others before creating a gale and using it to scout how much further they had to go. Not long passed before everyone was up and ready to continue on their trek through the humid, slightly cooler, woods of the Faron area. There were a few fights with Lizalfos and Bokoblins before they got to the ruins, but coupled with the day’s travel time, most of the companions decided that they needed to set up camp and continue to the Spring at dawn. Everyone headed to bed pretty quickly after that except Alyss who had wandered off not knowing that a certain Rito was following. 

    Revali silently cursed Link who had been sitting up and saw Alyss leaving the campsite. Why he had to be the one to follow after her he didn’t know, but Link looked pretty concerned. Revali was still pretty stuck on the banana incident so much so that he barely registered when Alyss stopped in front of a large lake. The clouds had finally departed allowing the rays of the almost full moon to shine down and seemingly illuminate her skin and hair. Revali paused by a tree, still hidden in the woods, and watched as the Sheikah started to let her hair down. The bottom of her hair licked the middle of her thighs, hiding from view the shape of her curvy body, but brought extra attention to her feminine legs.

    Once again he found himself enchanted by the mere sight of her. Not knowing what possessed him, Revali stepped out into the open view of the woods and crossed his arms as she bent over to wet her face with the lake’s water. “It’s not smart to go wandering the woods without protection this late,” he started, smirking internally at his unintentional spooking of the woman in front of him. “But, thankfully, you had the luck of someone with my special skill set following you.” He taunted not bothering to wipe the smirk from his face as his emerald eyes continued to roam her being, taking a mental picture of the way the moon illuminated her irritated posture. 

    “I can take care of myself thanks,” she spat back at him in irritation, placing her hand on her hip. “What are you doing here Revali? Come to get your feathers wet?” Alyss asked, taunting him back which both infuriated and excited him. Normally women practically fell at his feet in reverence, but Alyss’s demeanor towards him was angering and intoxicating. Alyss watched as the dark blue Rito took a small step forward, his eyes held nothing Alyss could decipher as they held her gaze. 

    “In a manner of speaking,” he whispered, afraid that if he spoke his weak attempt at flirting any louder he would shatter the air around them. He was close enough to her now that if he wanted to reach out and touch her he could. His gaze never leaving hers, he continues in the same hushed manner he spoke in before, “you infuriate me.” 

    Alyss furrowed her eyebrows and watched out of her peripheral vision as he took another small step forward. She refused to back down from whatever this was and stood her ground despite the harsh, loud beating in her chest. “Excuse me?” She scoffed slightly offended. “You’re one to talk.”

    Revali chuckled, genuinely amused by her expression of feelings. He could read in her face that his words had offended her, so - naturally - he decided to tease her. “I’m sorry to offend your grace,” he smirked, taking another step closer to her. He was definitely close enough now to fully wrap his wing around her and pull her into him if he wanted to. Which of course he didn’t. Right? “I was merely stating that you frustrate me.” 

    Alyss still didn’t move, but this time she completely dead panned. “Geez, thank you for that clarification. Now if you don’t mind I-” she couldn’t finish her sentence as Revali had started to advance more. The look that took over his gaze made her heart skip a beat as she had seen it before in her previous love’s eyes, but never did she expect to see it in Revali of all people. With every couple of words he took a step and forced her to step backwards to the nearest stone column.

    “You infuriate me in the fact that I can barely control myself around you. You infuriate me with the way you talk about and look so excited over trivial things.” Revali had completely managed to back her into the closest stone column before he reached out, grabbed one of her wrists, and pinned it up against the cool stone. “But you want to know the thing you have done to become the biggest nuisance in my life?” He asked more of a rhetorical question. “It’s the way that you have unabashedly taken over my thoughts. I mean-” he scoffed annoyed, “- I can’t go one day without thinking about you in some form or fashion, and the banana incident today did not help.” He growled. 

    Alyss took a moment to take in and digest everything Revali had said to her. What she did with the banana that would have made him irritated, she couldn’t figure out, but she could hear the obvious frustration and need in his voice. Deciding to roll with it, Alyss reached her hand up and cupped the side of his face, soft feathers tickling her wrist. “Mmm,” she mewled, “since you liked it so much, maybe I should eat another delicious banana right now?”

    Revali felt his gaze darken as he took in her obvious teasing manner, his grip on her wrist tightening just like the air in his airway. “Maybe you should,” he whispered, giving her the answer to her teasing he hoped she desired. The tension in the air grew between the two adults. All Alyss could feel was the soft feathers of his pressing against her body. All she could see was his chest rising and falling in deep, uneven breaths as his eyes continued to hold her gaze wondering who would make the first move. 

             Alyss slowly moved her hand down his chest, the sexual tension growing, as she started to fall to her knees. Just as quick as she had kneeled, she jumped back up with crimson red cheeks as a chuckling was heard from the woods. Her head snapped to the direction to find Link standing against a tree with his arms crossed and a smirk across his face. He raised an eyebrow and zipped his mouth shut before walking back to the campsite with everyone else. 

            Revali felt furious, frustrated, embarrassed, and confused all at the same time for the situation that had just transpired. Trying to play it off he started walking towards the woods. "We should get back before anyone else notices we're gone," revali murmured tensely. 

             All Alyss could do was follow along, still extremely embarrassed at what she was about to do. She wondered, as she watched the Rito's back, if this would make things more interesting.

All Was Golden In the Sky

Summary: Sidon glared, baring his teeth at Revali. “Stay away from him.” In response, Revali tilted his head back so he could look Sidon directly in the eyes, glare, and respond “Not a chance.” OR Sidon and Revali are idiots who love One (1) Feral Elf Twink, Link and Zelda are done with their shit, and chaos ensues.

Notes: This was written for my lovely fiance @theotheralya​!

Before he died fighting Calamity Ganon the first time, Revali had never quite managed to work up the courage to tell Link how he really felt about him. He had never really had the time, either, what with attempting to save all of Hylia from Ganon. Plus, Link had Zelda, Revali had always bitterly, harshly reminded himself when his romantic musings began to grow in his mind. He would not stand in the way of those two’s love.

And yet, Revali realized, now that he was alive again after being dead for 100 years, Zelda and Link had never loved each other at all. Oh, of course they were wonderful friends. No one would ever deny their deep bond of friendship with each other, even with their rocky start. However, neither had interest in the other in the romantic sense, Zelda having eyes only for Urbosa and Link having absolutely no interest in women. Revali felt immediately relieved when he learned this (he still had a chance with Link! Now he just had to work up the courage to ask him), but as soon as he realized this, he also realized something else horrible.

Sidon was in love with Link, and the prince seemed to have no issues showing it.

Thankfully for Revali, Link was an oblivious idiot who wouldn’t know romance if it smacked him upside the head. He never seemed to realize that Sidon kept asking him out on dates, always treating these meetings as just spending time with a friend. Revali was eternally grateful for Link’s lack of awareness of romance, because this meant that he still had a chance. He began to plot, planning out exactly what he would say to Link, how he would say it, when he would confess, where he should ask Link to in order to make his grand confession. His plan was foolproof and accounted for every possible factor. Of course, Revali forgot one particular factor.

Sidon.

The Zora prince seemed to be there whenever Revali tried to get Link alone. The first time Revali asked Link to take a walk with him, Sidon suddenly swooped in with a mission for Link to finish. The second time Revali tried to ask Link for a walk, Link smiled sheepishly and informed Revali that he had promised to spar with Sidon that afternoon. After the third attempt, Revali gave up on the walk idea and began asking Link to spar. That was also an issue, apparently, as became apparent when Link was dragged off by Mipha right before their first session, kidnapped by Sidon before the second, found by Zelda and coerced into helping her with an experiment during their third, and dragged by Urbosa into another sparring match before their fourth. Revali was beginning to become convinced that everyone did not want him and Link to be together, and he was beginning to get desperate.

Eventually, Revali just decided to approach Link and ask him out bluntly. He found Link in the corridor, chatting with Zelda, his laughter lighting up his whole face. Revali let out a small smile at that and began to walk forward, intent on professing his love, when he was stopped abruptly by the Zora prince.

“Greetings, Prince Sidon. What can I do for you today?” Revali didn’t really care if he sounded testy at the moment, he was busy and Sidon was disturbing him.

“You like Link, don’t you?” Sidon simply asked, golden eyes dark and filled with an emotion that Revali didn’t really feel like interpreting at that moment.

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“You’re very rude to him. I don’t like it.” Sidon wasn’t smiling for the first time since Revali had met him. “You insult him all the time. I don’t know why you act the way you do, but stay away from Link. You’re not good for him.”

Revali’s feathers positively bristled at that comment. “Well, you’re too soft. You don’t understand what he’s been through. You can’t help him through his panic attacks, you can’t help remind him of his life before the Calamity, and honestly, who the fuck do you think you are, telling me to stay away from one of my friends?”

Sidon glared, baring his teeth at Revali. “Stay away from him.” In response, Revali tilted his head back so he could look Sidon directly in the eyes, glare, and respond “Not a chance.”

________________________________________________

And so the war began.

Sidon would attempt to woo Link by bribing him with food and monster hunting, while Revali would try and woo Link more with pretty rocks and feathers. Link, the strange, feral Hylian that he was, did not seem to understand the purpose of any of these gifts, and instead insisted on repaying both Revali and Sidon with food. Revali was at the end of his rope, as was Sidon, yet both refused to be the first to back down. And so, they kept at their wooing war, despite the fact that the person they both wanted to woo was completely oblivious to their advances.

This all came to a head two weeks after the beginning of this Wooing War, when Zelda finally pulled Sidon and Revali into a back room to scold them for their behaviour.

“Why don’t you two idiots just ask Link out like normal people?” Zelda sighed, crossing her arms as she glared at both of them.

“He’s not going to accept both of us dating him!” Revali shot back, rolling his eyes. Honestly, Zelda was so intelligent, but sometimes she was just plain silly.

“And you know this how, exactly?”

“Well, because…” Revali trailed off, and he could also see Sidon looking just as confused. “... he’s never said he’d date more than one person?”

“Idiots, all of you,” Zelda groaned. “Just- just ask him, for the love of the Goddess.” With that, she spun around and stalked off, muttering about emotionally constipated men who wouldn’t know communication if it hit them upside the head. Revali and Sidon glanced at each other and shrugged at that. The princess had always been a bit weird.

___________________________________________________

Revali should have known that Zelda would take matters into her own hands at some point. Another week had passed since she had talked to him and Sidon, and neither had confessed to Link. Revali was planning another way to woo Link, involving bokoblin hunting, when Link approached him with a serious expression in his eyes. “Revali? Can we talk?”

“Hm? Oh, of course. What’s wrong, Link?”

“Do you like me?” Link’s face promised pain if Revali tried to bullshit his way out of this. Deciding to be smart and keep his feathers all intact as well as his life, Revali simply nodded in reply. “So why have you not told me before?”

“I was trying to figure out how to court you properly, but Sidon kept getting in the way, and I did not think it was appropriate to ask you without properly courting you first,” Revali answered, crossing his wings.

Link rolled his eyes and threw his hands towards the ceiling, beginning to pace around in clear frustration. Revali just watched, not willing to risk possibly losing a limb by interrupting Link.

After a few minutes, Link calmed down and turned to face Revali, hands clasped together and fingers resting under his nose. He inhaled before pointing both hands directly at Revali. “You are an idiot.”

“Hey-”

“You and Sidon are both idiots. You could just talk to me, you know!”

“Yes, we’ve established this. Is there another point to this?” Link made a small noise of frustration before he marched over, grabbed Revali’s head between his hands, and pulled him in for a kiss. Oh, it was awkward. Link had never kissed a Rito before, after all, and Revali had never kissed a Hylian. It was far from perfect, but somehow, that made it even more perfect. After a few minutes, Link pulled back with a goofy grin on his face.

“That’s the point,” he signed. “I love both of you, Revali, and of course I would date you.”

Revali swallowed at that. “So, are you saying yes to me, or yes to Sidon?”

Link’s face broke out into a smirk. “Revali, darling. I have two hands.”

i’m  really  bad  at  plotting  and  plots,  but  i  can  come  up  with  a  few  and  i  ADORE  brain - storming,  so  we  can  do  that,  as  well  !

001.  would  die  for  a  plot  where  link  has  a  crush  on  your  muse  and  never  says  anything  about  it.  just  admires  them  from  afar  and  it  too  scared  to  say  anything  about  it. maybe  they  come  into  his  dad’s  shop  or  link  has  seen  them  at  a  coffee  shop /  book  store  /  any  meet - cute  hot - spot  and  they  always  end  up  there  together.  link  has  never  been  in  a  relationship,  so  please  don’t  tease  him  !  CLOSED.

002.  also  think  a  best  friend  that  he  almost  looks  up  to  would  be  sick.  link  is  a  man  of  VERY  few  words  and  never  really  says  much.  he  talks,  but  doesn’t  ramble  or  anything,  keeps  it  very  concise.  but,  if  you  muse  can  ramble  and  talk  and  teach  link  how  to  use  his  big  boy  words  and  get  him  out  of  his  shell,  that’d  be  RAD.

003.  lastly,  i  think  link  having  a  someone  who  he  doesn’t  talk  to,  someone  where  they  can  just  enjoy  each  other’s  company  in  silence  is  cute.  someone  where  they  can  give  each  other  a  look  and  it  speaks  volumes  !   could  also  include  tons  of  fluff  with  cuddling,  watching  movies  and  kisses  on  the  cheek  /  forehead  /  nose.  little  acts  of  showing  their  friendship  and  how  close  they  are.  CLOSED.

that’s  all  i  can  really  think  of,  i’m  up  for  literally  anything. i’m  partial  to  angst,  so  i’m  sorry  if  we  plot  and  it  turns  into  a  big  ball  of  sad,  messy  angst.  but,  feel  free  to  message  me  /  ask  me  for  my  discord.  i’d  love  to  plot  with  all  of  you  !
