I gave them matching Demon Hanes™️ so hopefully this doesn't require a community label, but if it does I'll add it! I deactivated my LoZ Twitter, which is the only other place this was posted in the past.

As always 👁️👁️ both characters depicted are adults at 22/20 respectively 👁️👁️

I'm a massive MM fan, and I'm curious what the Demon Tribes AU is about, like the sparknotes version, because from what I've seen on this blog it looks rad as hell

Hi there! Thank you for your ask.

The AU itself is a combination of Majora's Mask and Skyward Sword lore. It presents the idea that the ancient, war-prone Ikanan Kingdom is one in the same with the Demon Tribes of Skyward Sword's prologue which caused the Ancient War. The resulting world is an ancient version of Termina, back when the continent was ruled entirely by Ikana.

As for the story aspect underneath the AU's umbrella, that is called The Mask-Maker and will include subsequent future works. TMM is about Link struggling with his identity as a hero two years after the events of Skyward Sword. There, he suffers from recurring, seemingly-prophetic nightmares about his death at the hands of a demon from Ikana. During unrelated events, he eventually finds his way to the kingdom while in the company of Ghirahim, who turns out to also have ties to the region. Link's adventure in Ikana is to confront the demon which haunts him, but he ends up finding out way more about the history of the Ancient War, what demons are actually like, and what his role in all of this is. This story also includes eventual exploration of prior characters from both SkSw and MM such as Batreaux, Zelda, Groose, Majora, and the Fierce Deity. There are also many OCs involved in order to flesh out the world further.

Please note that there is a ship involved in the story - the ship is Ghirahim/Link with the two now being aged 22/20 respectively. The bulk of the story is focused on the adventure and worldbuilding within Ikana, and the romance content is secondary. It is not an explicit work but is rated M due to occasionally suggestive content. I say this so that you can make an informed decision on whether you want to engage with work that involves a ship.

Thank you again for your ask and I hope that answers your question.

your own fingers on your face by Woodswolf

inspired by The Mask-Maker by @unironicallycringe

As soon as the lens is hidden, the knight collapses forward against the wall. He shakes ferociously, holding his face in his own trembling fingers and sobbing like a child — and the demon lord can’t find anything in himself to fault him for it.

A thousand years of waiting can do things to a person that they would never expect.

A few years of watching can, too.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love ❤️

OH NO!! BADGER, I HAVENT WRITTEN FIVE FICS, WHICH IS EXTREMELY FUNNY TO ME--

Ok ok I am a slowly lumbering giant who only writes longfics and takes enormous hibernation hiatuses

BUT I will simply reply with those two and talk about some fav chapters

The Mask-Maker & Dear Brother

Both of these are so so old in terms of original inception, but fairly young in that I "just" began posting.

For those of you who are new, TMM is a Legend of Zelda fic combining Skyward Sword and Majora's Mask to 1) explore what the Demon Tribes could actually be like and 2) put Ghirahim and Link into A Situation (Ghiralink). It is paused at 20 chapters and has a ways to go, likely divided into two parts. Meanwhile, DearB is an Elder Scrolls Oblivion Dark Brotherhood prequel about the Silencer before the player character arrives (Lucien/OC). It explores the inner workings of the Brotherhood itself from the viewpoint of one of their leaders. This one is shaping up to be around 24 chapters based on where my arc's trajectory is going.

My favorite chapter of TMM is "10: Employee of the Year" - I really liked writing the clumsy foundation of how and why their relationship forms, and I'm proud of how it came out. DearB is too young to have a solid fav chapter yet but right now it's "3: Hypnotic Shades of Violet" - exploring Zath's difficulty in understanding his own feelings within the framework of a cult has been really interesting to me.

I love them both very much and I'm really proud of the progress I've made in terms of plotting out a long story. It's been excellent practice and a great stress-relief hobby.
