#WarrTime

[st0rmyskies]

who is your personal favorite pairing/couple out of all of st0rmyverse fics or do you have a ranking of favorites

My favorite pairing really depends on the day, honestly. I go to one or another when I'm really craving writing love and sex from a certain angle.

In LMTCOY/HSH...

WarrTime is my favorite toxic relationship turning legit. In the beginning they were using one another as a self-flagellation of sorts. Now, they've seen exactly what's wrong with the other and, shockingly, both of them have independently decided "I can fix him." The more I explore their relationship in (unpublished) work, they've become more of a stable, mature same-sex relationship, although the sex is still incendiary.

WildTime is always my go-to for "I want to rot my teeth out with fluff." Every time they have sex is like the first time, and Wild keeps Time undeniably young.

Twark is my "baby gay with infallible support from an unlikely source" pairing. Twi is curious and exploratory and is going to make some mistakes, and Dark is both going to enable him and going to be there to help catch him when he stumbles. I also just reaaaally really love writing Dark, no matter the AU.

Legend/Hyrule is good for exploring the comfort of commitment to another person, especially when it comes to exploring new and/or unlikely kinks.

Four/Shadow are honestly a pairing that is quietly dear to my heart. Shadow knows more about Four's past than anyone else, and he is a supportive rock who keeps Four's needs and boundaries at the forefront of their relationship. It might not seem like Shadow gets a lot back in return for this at first glance but, well, love is patient.

Champlight, once I really get going writing them, also goes through a sweet arc of mutual pining and questioning and considering one another from across a room crowded with friends and loved ones who are just like "Get ON WITH IT already!!!"

In the omegaverse series...

I literally cannot get enough of Sky/Time. I CANNOT. Sky is going through a period of intense rehabilitation and healing and learning to trust again, and who better than Time to gently guide him through it? Similarly...

Sky and Wild are such opposites in this AU that, naturally, they're going to attract. Wild might seem promiscuous and carefree, but his feelings toward Sky are stronger than he lets on. We'll see more of this in later chapters and stories.

And in this AU, Warrlight + Wild is probably my #1 for pairings where shit's about to get INTERESTING. And not only because Warriors and Twilight are about to turn hard and fast the wrong way down a one-way street.

And, of course, the poly boys Sky, Twi, and Warriors (+ Sun) are the best for gentle exploration and unconditional love. Their relationship, at its core, is so innocent and wholehearted that it's hard not to adore them. They're another one I turn to for tooth-rotting fluff.

Marry Krit in Warrtime（線上のメリー・クリと・・・ないし劣情期のFather Christmasに寄せた沈魂歌）

[st0rmyskies]

I offer: Warriors, drunk and just a little sleepy, coming home from a night out with the boys and deciding that fuck it, he’s gonna stay on the third floor, and Time gets to observe his evening routine with him drunkenly humming and dancing in the bathroom as he washes up.

Giving gentle forehead smooches, fren 🐹

Time grumbles the first time this happens and scowls into his book until Wars is in bed and nodding off.

Later, if Wars DOESN’T do his drunken bathroom routine Time assumes Wars got into some sort of trouble and has to check on him.

[st0rmyskies]

Miniscrew don't you DARE apologize for this masterpiece. Not only have I been Cured, I have also been compromised.

The leather and elastic keeping Warriors suspended midair creaks but stays strong when he pulls at them, testing their strength. He rocks back and forth in the swing, held firmly by sturdy bindings hanging from the ceiling of Time’s bedroom.

AKA That sex swing fic.

lmao @st0rmyskies it’s the sex swing fic you jokingly requested. I hope it makes you feel even slightly better ✌️

[st0rmyskies]

Did you know that LMTCOY just passed its 3-year anniversary?

Let's celebrate with a special guest star!

[st0rmyskies]

Count Darkula Warrtime anyone?

Our dearest @rodent-anon brings us a spicy lil side-story in the Blood Lust AU, in which Time and Warriors have just as incendiary a relationship as they normally do, except now the stakes are a bit higher...

DIRECTOR'S CUT REQUEST OPTION 1:

What is going through Time's head in LMTCOY Chapter 20 (The Most Luxurious Indulgence) in the very tense moments between Wars' level 2 panic attack and returning from the bathroom? Where he's sitting on the edge of the bed like 👁️👄👁️

"" OPTION 2:

WHAT'S GOING THROUGH WILD'S HEAD WHEN WARS' ASKS HIM TO STAAAAYYYYYYY AFTER HIS NO GOOD VERY BAD NIGHT AT THE CLUB WITH VOLGAAAAA 🥺

Oh, I can answer both...

In LMTCOY chapter 20, Time and Warriors have a little more feelings than sex in their hotel room encounter in Gerudo Town. Time can tell as they're getting started with the Main Event that Warriors isn't himself, and when he asks if 'this is alright'--and doesn't get an answer--he stops, leaning off of him a little bit, and reiterating, "Are you alright?"

As hard as it is, Time lets Wars go when he stumbles off to the bathroom for a moment alone. At first he's waiting to hear Warriors be sick, given how bad he looked in the moment. Once the tap turns off, it's a rush of okay he must be okay in there and where the hell is my underwear and cold, sinking dread, thinking that Wars is going to come out (verbally) swinging.

It's a relief when Wars reemerges no longer in distress, somewhat dressed, and his request to turn out the lights is so simple that Time has to stop himself from tripping over his own feet to comply. He's learned that Warriors doesn't benefit from touch as comfort so he will do anything he can to make up for that.

In LMTCOY chapter 13, from the moment the boys come to Warriors's rescue, Wild is there for him. He might not be able to fight or to pick a lock, but he's the one to help Warriors dress and regain some of his lost dignity, to hold his hand and keep him steady while all the chaos is going on around them. He's the one to help Wars up to the third floor, to physically get him into the shower, and to make him some tea.

Knowing how private Warriors is about himself and his past, Wild was quietly elated to be asked to stay with them that night. He specifically curled around Wars, not Time, and gave them their privacy come morning. I think that Wild was harboring some guilt over the situation, too--admitting to Time and they didn't go looking for Wars right away--and so Warriors's request was a bit of an absolution as well.

Emergency Commissions - Closed!!

Thank you everyone for the help! Commissions slots are all filled, tips are still always welcome. I will advise if any additional slots open up in the next few weeks.

So if you’ve been playing along at home, you may know that I returned from vacation this week to find that my central air conditioning unit died. Our house sustained some damage from the system overheating. Repairs/replacement are going to run in the five-figure range and they can’t wait, since July in my area of the world means brutal heat. 

So in the spirit of “well fuck me I guess,” I’ll be opening a limited number of emergency writing commissions slots, not to exceed eight depending on the scope of each work and the amount of interest I receive. 

Be advised that this is a one-time thing. I don’t intend to reopen commissions after this financial burden passes.

The Basics

I write for the LoZ and LU fandoms and will accept commissions for either in-universe writing or one of my own AUs (Townhouse AU, Count Darkula, the omegaverse series, etc.).

I will write crack, fluff, angst, spice, horror, murder, whatever. Choose your own adventure! 

If you’re interested in something sweet or spicy, I’ll write Linkshipping, Zelink, MidZel, GanLink, lesser-known characters, you name it I don’t care. I’m a multishipper at heart.

Characters can be cis, trans, unspecified, doesn’t matter to me.

I’m always happy to try on new spicy themes, even if it’s not something I’ve written before. This is a judgement-free zone, even if I end up saying “no thanks.” Seriously, just run it by me. I also have a handful of existing WIP options in the list below if you need any inspiration.

You get to choose whether this is a work to be published or if you’d rather keep it for your own private enjoyment. No price difference between the two options, I don’t care.

Not sure what you’d request? If you want, you can sponsor an active WIP. This is literally more bang for your buck, since I’m not going to charge you for the words I’ve already written. Once you snag a commission slot and leave your deposit, I can send you a sample of one or two works if you’re having a hard time choosing between options. Think of it like trying different flavors at an ice cream bar. An extensive list of my active WIPs appears in my pinned post. If sponsoring an active WIP for an ongoing series like HSH or LMTCOY, that work will be published.

Do you have an unfinished WIP of your own that you’d like to see finished but don’t have the time, energy, etc.? Throw it my way and we’ll see what we can do together! Once again, you are only charged for the words I put into the work in these cases, not the total word count. I will only be taking on up to two of these types of commissions.

The Nitty-Gritty

Pricing is 2 cents per word. I'm flexible with regards to word counts but I suggest the following tiers:

500 words - $10

1000 words - $20

2000 words - $40

2500 words - $50

A deposit will be required to lock in your commission slot on a first-come first-served basis. Deposits will vary based on the tier you select with any remaining balance due at delivery, if applicable. If I end up going over a bit and wrote 525 words for a 500-word slot, oh well, bank error in your favor.

Deadlines are TBD between myself and the commissioner depending on the scope of the work and the number of responses I get. Could be anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months. I don’t see myself letting commissions drag on past 3 months. 

Feel ready to take the plunge with me? You can send me a DM preferably via discord (st0rmyskies) but also through tumblr and we’ll get to work!

The Fine Print

You must be over the age of 18 to commission me.

Commissions are not to exceed 2500 words unless we negotiate otherwise. WIPs listed at larger word counts excluded from this rule.

If sponsoring an active WIP or work in an ongoing series, I may already have a plot and end goal for the story, so specific requests (e.g. “I want Twark to break up.”) may not be honored. I can do a one-shot of such scenarios, though, even if they’re outside canon plans.

I will not write for someone else’s series (e.g. “Can you continue this story from [author] that’s been abandoned?”).

No original characters.

I reserve the right to decline any request for any reason.

Can’t commission, but want to help?

You can leave me a tip via Venmo or PayPal, or signal boost on tumblr, discord, wherever. We need all the help we can get! 

Thanks so much for reading this far, friend. Any help with spreading the word is appreciated.

Bits and Pieces by RodentAnon

Our beloved @rodent-anon had started a collection of drabbles and little treats that I am already in love with. Her first chapter captures the mutual affection and annoyance that is WarrTime so, so well.

What I wouldn’t give to read their text chain from start to finish.

[st0rmyskies]

“Wars, come with us to the mall, we’re all gonna take a picture with Santa. It’ll be funny. We even convinced Champion to come along for the ride.”

“…You don’t believe in Santa…And neither do I.”

“Bitch. And? I thought you liked sitting in an old man’s lap—“

LMTCoY Update - Warm Solstice Wishes

In which we get a little peek into how Legend and Hyrule; Twilight and Dark; and Time, Wild, and Warriors are spending their holiday.

A shockingly SFW(-ish) update.

[st0rmyskies]

Good morning st0rmy! Number 10 from the morning coffee ask game please? Have a good day 💓💕

Yes, this is a little LMTCOY-ish SWF whump piece that I was working on as a therapeutic thing in December. I hope you also have a good day!

Warriors would usually find [Time] beneath the blankets, trying to enjoy what little peace and quiet he could before Wars arrived to trample it like a toddler with a sand castle. But the bed was still made, the book on his bedside table undisturbed. As Warriors opened his mouth to call again, he heard the sink running in the en suite bathroom. 

Moments later, Warriors’s surly bed-partner emerged. The open door obscured most of him from view, and Time glared around the edge of it at Warriors. Words died on War’s tongue as he saw how Time watched him. He didn’t look much like himself at all. His hair was all fallen into his face, both of his eyes were unblinking and vacant, and he leaned on the doorknob for support where he stood. 

“What’s the matter with you?” Warriors asked, hesitating to approach. 

Time’s lips pulled into a weak snarl before he turned toward the bed. He was reluctant to let go of the doorknob, like it was the only thing keeping him standing, and he wrapped one arm around his middle as he lurched forward. 

Halfway across the room, Time staggered. Warriors moved to take his arm and try to steady him, but he was dead weight as he tumbled to the floor.

Stormbae! Who among the boys is/will go gray prematurely, and how will they cope? -- Oddi 🍄

I love the creative asks y'all have in a given day!

Four is going to go first, probably. No thanks to this fucking household. He's going to hide his hairline behind his headband and just keep working, all up until Shadow says something about it one night. Four is going to snark right back at him and act like he isn't affected. Then he's going to knock on Legend's door three days later and threaten him with who-knows-what blackmail to not tell a SOUL that he's asking for advice on how to use boxed hair dye.

Legend will start getting gray hairs early, too, but only 2-3 at a time. He will ignore all warnings about "pull one and seven grow in its place" or whatever. And he will only ever get 2-3 at a time, that only he or maybe Hyrule will notice.

Dr. Rulie will ABSOLUTELY be going gray next, and he's going to get a nice little salt-n-pepper side burn action going on. It's only going to improve his clinical cred, and make him an even bigger hit at the nurse's station at work. Might make Legend feel Some Kinda Way, himself.

Wind is going to have thinning hair way before he realizes he's going gray. He's going to have some very early thinning in the front that's going to give him a bit of a panic, and it's going to take a Warriors intervention to prevent him from doing something stupid and permanently-altering to try and address it. Just perk up your diet, dude, and maybe try some of these expensive beauty products...

Speaking of, Warriors.

Warriors.

I probably have to write this, actually. The day that he discovers his first gray hair is when Time opens his bathroom door to find Warriors kneeling on the vanity next to the sink and nearly in tears as he's holding down the hair on either side of his part and scrutinizing the single wiry gray he's found. Yes he's confirmed it's attached, yes it's the first one he's seen, and no he is not okay!!! At least someone can make use of all the anti-gray products Wars kept buying for Time and Time never gave enough of a shit to use. When Time realizes that Warriors is quite serious about this little crisis - Wars is supposed to be the catch, the trophy husband, etc. - he's going to do his best to assure Wars that it doesn't change how he feels about him. Warriors will always be the biggest thorn in Time's side.

I imagine that Twilight will go gray at a very respectable age, Champion will get a few stray grays that just blend in with his blonde no problem, Sky is going to get a little sexy salt-and-pepper after his and Sun's second child of four, and Time is already going gray, lbr.

Shadow will never appear gray, he dyes his hair too often. Damn scene kid.

Although Dark's face will never age, he will start going gray about ten years later than Time does. He'll go from raven black to brilliant silver-white nearly overnight, and it's going to look unfairly good on the man.

I feel like wars and time both be lying awake at night with existential dread

Both lying awake at night with such existential dread but both of them also mad about it such that they're lying on their backs with their arms crossed like they're lying in their own coffins, not communicating or acknowledging one another in any way.

At least not until one turns to the other and asks, "Wanna [redacted] again?"

From an upcoming LMTCOY chapter...

WarrTime beneath the cut, under the cut for length.

Time was a man of simple pleasures. He liked his coffee black. He was fond of quiet pursuits, like reading or solving word puzzles. He enjoyed solitary road trips into the country on crisp fall days, just him and miles upon miles of smooth open road. He liked fishing. Above all, Time enjoyed the peace and quiet of solitude. 

And there was just none of that to be found in the townhouse these days. 

Because even on those nights when he sat up in bed, reading by the low light of his bedside lamp, more often than not he’d have a visitor. And this visitor had no respect for quiet nights whatsoever. 

“You wouldn’t believe the day I’ve had!” Warriors began bellyaching the moment that he burst through the bedroom door unannounced. He sighed to the ceiling, closing the door much too roughly. “Gods, I am just exhausted.” 

Time glanced at him over the top of his book, but he said nothing. He didn’t need to; Warriors launched into the trials of his day as he began sliding off his belt and heading into the closet. He’d been carving out more and more of the right side of Time’s walk-in closet each evening. Time was certain that before long, most of his bedroom would be overrun by War’s belongings. 

Time narrowed his eye as the thought stirred his memory. He needed to call an exterminator next week. 

“…just haven’t been the same since— Are you paying attention?”

Time blinked, looking up to find Warriors standing at the foot of the bed, hands on his hips. “Of course.” 

“What was the last thing I said?”

Time remained stone-faced, searching his short-term memory. He hadn’t even been marginally paying attention. 

Warriors’s mouth pressed into a thin line of annoyance before a wry little smile crossed his face. “Fine,” he huffed, “don’t let me interrupt your… whatever the hell it is you’re doing.” 

[st0rmyskies]

❄️ for the ask game :)

Someone told me once that the "curtain fic" prompt is meant to be low-stress, low-stakes. I took that as a challenge.

AKA Time and Wars go to Ikea.

“Oh, here’s a nice set.” “Those are a bit… louder than I’d care for. What about these?” “Only if you’d like the living room to look like a dentist’s office.”  Time frowned, letting go of the slip of beige material he’d selected and allowing it to float back among the others. Warriors was already moving away from him, flipping through each swath of material down the line in rapid succession. He’d pull one out occasionally to examine, usually one in a bold color or some garish pattern. He’d tilt his head at it, glance back at Time without saying anything, and ease it back among the others and moving on.  Time should have thought better of agreeing to this errand. On one hand, yes, the curtains in the townhouse were rather outdated and sorely needed replacing. On the other hand, this home goods store was like a maze. It was all trendy room set-ups and buzzing fluorescence overhead and pods of unsupervised children that Time found himself tripping over more often than not as he trudged along behind Warriors, reaching to take whatever he’d grabbed along their travels and either setting it in the massive shopping bag strapped over his shoulder or setting it right back where it came from.
