@acetier's beautiful, beautiful art plucked out my heart and dashed it to pieces. So here I am, trying to return the favour. Or at least to double down on it.

Also available on Ao3. (Link in notes.)

--

Accelerando

--

Five moments in time between Link and Revali as they find common ground, despite everything.

(Slowly. Then all at once.)

--

"I gave you a clear shot -- how could you miss that?"

Link is spared the need to answer: at that moment, Revali's powers start to peter out. Hurriedly, before he loses the advantage of height, Link shoulders his bow and grabs for the paraglider instead, eyes fixed on the Silver Lynel far below. Its fierce glare is locked on him in turn. His mind races, trying to calculate when he has to surrender to gravity. Eight seconds -- five seconds. He sees it reach for its arrows.

So does Revali.

"Don't you dare," he warns, before flapping his ghostly wings once more. Gale carries him higher, higher, higher than it's ever carried him before. Five Lightning Arrows crackle through the air, but he's safely out of range.

"Don't miss this time," Revali says, sounding almost tired, and disappears.

Link draws his bow again, forgoing the bomb arrows Revali always favoured; instead, he nocks one of Robbie's Ancient Arrows.

Have to end this quickly.

His arrow strikes true, this time, and then he's left drifting in an eerie, open sky, alone.

It's six hours before the tug of Revali's power anchors in his chest again. Revali's Gale is now ready, he thinks, mimicking the cadence of the words that always accompany that sensation -- but Revali's words don't come.

--

The Koroks' puzzles range from amusing to aggravating.

On the least annoying end of the scale: chasing lights, finding acorns, following flowers (usually).

A bit more annoying, depending on circumstance: following flowers (sometimes), rock puzzles, metal blocks, clockflower rings.

Far more of a pain than they're worth: acorn balloons.

Link hates those acorn balloons with a passion. They jerk around erratically. They duck in and out of the trees so that he can't track them. They move at such random speeds. They disappear within ten seconds of him leaving the treestump pedestal that sends the signal to spawn them.

And so often, he's running low on arrows and doesn't have enough to spare on Korok games.

He's staring down yet another cluster of circling acorn balloons when a thought occurs to him: What if...

He crouches low on the pedestal. Revali, he thinks. It's not necessary to literally call for the Champions—otherwise Mipha would never reach him in time—but with Revali, in particular, it has quickly become a habit.

It takes seven seconds to reach the zenith of Revali's Gale. He's counted it before.

It would certainly take more than three seconds to pick off those balloons, for almost anyone else.

He reaches for his bow, a three-shot device of the forest's make, and feels time start to crawl: slower, slower, slower.

He nocks three arrows, catches two balloons but misses the third. Draws again, and catches his fall with the paraglider just in time; below, the final balloon bursts.

"Cheater," Revali says snidely as the column of his Gale subsides; he's gone before Link can retort.

Honestly. Just because Revali could have done it in a single shot...

--

Revali takes his front-row vantage point of Link's archery — oh, forgive him, of Link's pale imitation of aerial archery — very seriously. Link can almost see the mark of a teacher in him. He wonders what Revali would have been like as an instructor.

"Shoulders," he barks sometimes, when Link's back holds more tension than his bowstring.

"Keep your eyes dead ahead," he advises, other times, when Link is tempted to use precious seconds to scan the field for further enemies; "one thing at a time."

"Remember to aim for where your target will be, not where it is now," he warns whenever the slowing of time reaches its limits, and Link is left with seconds to spare before his strength runs out.

"Don't miss," he says, as Link prepares to take aim at the thing that struck down Urbosa—and this time his words have the sound of camaraderie, no scorn to be found in them at all.

"I know," Link replies, reaching for Revali's Great Eagle Bow. He nocks three arrows to the string and obliterates Thunderblight Ganon in a hail of explosions that would make even Revali proud.

--

"You know, I had to succeed at that trial without supernatural means at my disposal."

Link hides a grin in the fur ruff of his Snowquill: Revali's words have the ring of a familiar refrain, rendered less irritating with repetition.

"I do hope you appreciate that," Revali continues, needling. Link tries to imagine the expression he would be wearing, how he might gesture emphatically: swooping drama, theatrical in motion, every inch of his persona polished and practiced.

Every facet of doubt buffed away, hidden behind that carefully constructed confidence.

"How long did it take you?"

Revali makes a sound of affront and this reaction, this one Link can picture: his head tilting up, his feathers puffing out in displeasure.

"Four," he says shortly, and Link leans back to stare at the shape of Vah Medoh's head overhead, no longer trying to disguise his grin.

"Four hours?" he asks, keeping his tone light and just this side of innocent. "Four days?"

"Four attempts," Revali snaps, and Link should have known, really. Revali always was exactly as good as he claimed. If only he could have met Ganon's Blight when in optimal condition... Link doubts Windblight could have bested Champion Revali, if the battle hadn't been stacked in its favour.

The thought is bitter, and not something Link should dwell on. The last thing Revali would want is Link's sympathy. So he pushes it aside,

"You don't have to rub it in," says Link, but he's smiling as he says it. While Revali splutters in protest, Link smiles, and huffs out a laugh, and desperately tries not to linger on just how unfair it is that the Champions, that Revali, should have fallen when he was granted this second chance.

All he can do is make the most of it, and avenge them.

--

"Dead ahead."

Revali's voice is all around Link, carried in the column of his Gale. Link can't look at him, can't afford to take his eyes off the rampaging incarnation of Malice below, and Revali must know that.

He wouldn't speak at such a crucial moment, otherwise.

His next words come so close to Link's ear that, if Revali lived, his breath would surely be warm against the shell of it. Instead Link feels only the cold grip of Gale, the only touch Revali had ever bestowed on him.

"Don't miss," Revali tells him.

It sounds like affection.

It sounds like faith.

It sounds like goodbye.

"Got it," Link says—or tries to, but the winds snatch his voice away.

At least that means Revali probably heard him. Cold comfort. Comfort all the same.

He shoots. Dead ahead.

He doesn't miss.

Bahaha apparently vinegar eels are scientifically termed "swarmalators" XD

Some insight into their ~metachronal wave~ behavior:

Vinegar eels are nematodes that live in fermented plant matter (like vinegar) and are usually raised as live fish food but to me they're just beautiful surreal pets. How are they so synchronized?!? How are these conveyer belt waves a bunch of ANIMALS!! In vinegar! They live in the acid made as bacteria break down fruit!! An alien planet is in this jar!!!

Nel primo incontro ufficiale che avemmo ci raccontò dei suoi progetti e delle sue idee di una città a misura d’uomo, con un occhio anche al rilancio del turismo locale. Dopo due anni eccoci di nuovo per capire meglio cosa si è fatto e cosa si farà nei prossimi anni della sua…

Early Autumn

♪When an early autumn walks the land and chills the breeze And touches with her hand the summer trees Perhaps you'll understand what memories I own There's a dance pavilion, all shuttered down♪

♪A winding country lane, all russet brown A frosty windowpane shows me a town grown lonely That spring of ours that started, so April-hearted Seemed made for just a boy and girl♪

♪I never dreamed, did you, any fall could come in view So early, early Darling, if you care, please let me know I'll meet you anywhere, I miss you so Let's never have to share another early autumn♪

"Early Autumn" as sung in The Red Hot Duchess of Death and Her Butler Joshua Seth www.youtube.com/watch?v=KINUkv… ~ * ~ Professor Fay Jaeger enjoy listening her best friend and love interest, Tanjuro Kamado singing when she was still a child.

tumblr will joke abt hating taxes (something needed to make current socialist societies function) and in doing so will reblog posts with comments made by fucking naz*s [@acety...joyer]

look. maybe i am fucking Not Mentally Healthy to read notes and reblogs/tags as often as i do, but the number of times i'll click on the notes of a post and see maybe as little as 10 comments down someone pointing out that OP/additional reblogger is a naz*/t*rf

this website isn't fucking safe to uncritically scroll, a lot of people here are absolutely not your friend, and if im concerned at how badly some ppl are at understanding and analysing media, then OH BOY do i sure have really fucking low hopes abt ppl not being radicalized into fash ideology

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. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

This took some thinking! In the end I managed to whittle it down to these...

5. The Hands of Angels, Homestuck/Doctor Who (Gen)

Eridan Ampora is a class A jerk, and for that reason I wanted to put him up against the Weeping Angels. Enough said.

4. Melody of Promises, YGO 5Ds (Pairing: Yuusei/Bruno|Antinomy)

I thought I was being really clever with this one. A story of two sides of a heart at war with itself, told in quasi-drabbles. (Each section is 100 words. The 'end' of a section flows into the 'start' of the next.)

Bruno/Antinomy will always be one of my favourite YGO characters, and this story is apparently one that can make @heleentje cry.

3. Accelerando, Breath of the Wild (Pairing: Revalink)

Written in a feverish burst of inspiration after some incredible revalink art by @acetier crossed my dash. Has a couple of minor flaws, but I'm still incredibly proud of the story I told. (Title choice was because everything would be rushing towards that natural end point; I wound up striking gold with it, not least because the story's pacing grew faster the more emotionally connected they became.)

2. Corrigendum, Breath of the Wild (Pairing: Revalink)

Along with its two 'predecessor parts', Memento and Lacuna, this has some of my best writing in it. Maybe it got lower engagement than some of my other fics* due to a) the length (11k+ is hefty going for a oneshot), b) the 'internalised ableism' tag, c) Gin playing coy about certain characters' dead-or-alive status until 2/3rds through the fic, but tbh I would still make those choices again a second time around.

* (this was published just 3 days before 'What a fool you have made me', which has two and a bit times the kudos of Corrigendum and had the advantage of being a slightly-cracky, rom-com-ish mess. Corrigendum is absolutely my favourite of the two, hands down.)

1. A Seed of Song, Breath of the Wild (Pairing: Revalink; guest star: The Chick.)

...While this is on pause for now, the thoughts are buzzing and I'm hopeful to get back to it soon. This story ballooned past all expectations and I'm determined to see it through to the end. (And then probably beyond the end as well -- I have AUs a-knocking...)

@plasticestate are here w/ “TONIGHT,” the latest single from their highly highly anticipated forthcoming LP titled ‘Code d’Amour’ & it finds the beautifully coiffed Cardiff-based duo of Nicholas James & Stanley Fouracres flat out seducing us across 4+ buoyantly bounced, giddily glorious & properly synth_popped minutes…. Which is further fleshed out in Claudia De Acetis & Stanley Fouracres’ aesthetically dripped video treatment.
