blondeswap!Hunter: I was born and raised to fight. To be a soldier. To be a hero guard. My life has never been my own: it was always my destiny to be a weapon. Nobody would understand what that was like - until now. Now I have met others whose destiny it is to fight. To be a weapon, in service of a goddess instead of a tyrant. Maybe amongst these others, maybe among people who truly understand what it's like to live a life where your destiny is already chosen, but have come out the other side happy - maybe I can learn how to be happy, too. Maybe I can learn how to live.

"I wish I was anywhere but here..."

Welcome to the most self-indulgent thing I have ever created:

The BlondeSwap AU!!

This AU asks one shrimple question:

What if my two blorbos, Hunter TOH and Wind LU, swapped places?

What if a Post-Any Sport in a Storm Hunter, who had found friends, joy, and a life outside of The Emperor - for one traitorous moment - wished for a way out?

What if a Post-Threatening Shadows Wind, who was still being treated like a liability, even amongst other heroes - for one vulnerable moment - wished to get away from them?

What if, in lands found In-Between, a Titan and a Deity of dreams, heard them? What if they granted their wishes?

What if Hunter, along with Flapjack, is ripped away from the Boiling Isles, and is dropped in the midst of eight heroes of Hylia on a journey to stop an inter-dimensional evil?

What if with them, Hunter learns how to be good? How to help people? What if Hunter learns what it's like to truly have a family? What it means to be loved?

What if Hunter, now around so many others who have been forced to fight at a young age, but have been able to grow and find themselves after it, learns how to live for the first time?

What if Wind, after escaping the castle of an evil dictator, finds himself living in a house held together by a tube demon, trying to stop said evil?

What if with that family, with those newfound friends his age, Wind learns how to be a kid? How to let other people help him? How to not take on the burden of the world on his shoulders alone, just because he chose to help?

What if Wind amidst another adventure to defeat an evil king, with a bunch of other kids thrust into a role too big for them alone, learns how to take back his life?

...what if two villains - ancient evils, able to manipulate minds and spaces, able to attack with their own extremities, able to possess others, worked together?

This is a very self-indulgent AU, where I'm literally just picking up my two blorbos by the scruff of their necks and throwing them around the playground of my mind, and their worlds. I'm literally just taking my children and shaking them in a jar until I'm satisfied.

I already have a lot of ideas for various scenes involved. Like what might happen with Hollow Mind, or Labyrinth Runners. What might happen in Shifting Shadows, or Dawn. Or even original scenes, or in-between ,moments, like what it'd first be like for Wind to learn about glyphs, or for Hunter to meet Tetra's crew. What Wind's dynamics with Luz and Gus and the Hexsquad, or Hunter with Legend and Time and the other heroes, would be like.

I'll probably post various scenes and character dynamics on here whenever inspo hits (and maybe some longer fics if the scenes require it!

I think that Legend dislikes blondeswap!Hunter the most, more than any of the other heroes, because he believes that Hunter represents everything that he hates.

He's a soldier of an Empire. The same soldiers who were corrupted, who put out wanted posters, who tried to kill a child. And Hunter is supposedly the highest ranking soldier in his world.

He believes in his destiny. Legend's destiny, given to him by Hylia, robbed him of his childhood. Sent him to a dream realm where his love was ripped from his hands. And Hunter still believes that his destiny, which robbed him of his childhood too, is a good thing.

But honestly, Legend hates Hunter because he sees too much of himself in him. He sees a cynical, rude, off-putting, scarred kid. Forced to become a child soldier at too young an age, hiding behind anger to mask his own fear of losing everything he loves - they've both already lost it all once.

But Legend is too much of a coward to admit it, so he turns up his anger, holds him at arms length, and refuses to look in the mirror held up by their newest addition.

And Hunter, the boy all too eager to please any authority figures in his life, takes it anyways, and hopes one day that he doesn't get burned again.

blondeswap!Wind: I chose to fight. I chose to be a pirate. To be a soldier. A pawn hero. My world needed a savior. And when the goddesses didn't choose one, I ripped that destiny from their throat and became that hero. I gave up my childhood, my freedom, my life, to become a weapon of the people. But now that I'm in a world where I'm no longer the hero, in a world where there are other kids who can fight for their own freedom - and still have the chance at their own freedom, maybe I can have mine too. Maybe I can learn how to live for myself again.

Pinned Post Moment

Hello! My name is Sapphire (they/fae), but please call me Saph!

I'm an occasional writer who makes AUs, fics and other ramblings, floating between between various fandoms! Currently working on the Time Hollow AU.

I post about whatever I'm fixated on, and I sometimes post WIPs for the fics I'm working on!

My AO3 Page - Where I put my completed stories! Come check 'em out!

My AUs:

Time Hollow AU - A Post-Hollow Mind AU where Hunter and Luz, unable to be rescued from Emperor Belos' Mindscape the first, are brought back three days later. But for those two, they were trapped in there for nearly a full year. Featuring a very traumatized and codependent Luz and Hunter, a lot of angst, hurt/comfort, and more (fics can be found here)

villain!Wind AU - My take on a Villain Wind, who after many tragic circumstances and misunderstandings, makes it his goal to murder Hylia. No matter who or what he has to use, betray, and kill.

BlondeSwap AU - My extremely self-indulgent AU, where a Post-ASIAS Hunter, and a Post-Threatening Shadows Wind, find themselves swapped into each other's worlds, where both can finally learn how to live again.

deity!LU AU - Coming Soon™

Posts A Lot About:

Hunter TOH - My son! The former Golden Guard, turned good, who now has to learn how to live. I love my traumatized son.

LU Wind - My other son! The hero of Winds, the youngest of the group, and the only one not chosen by destiny. I love my traumatized son.

The Owl House - Disney cartoon with magic, which I have fallen in love with completely. (series where Hunter comes from)

Linked Universe - Zelda Fancomic where 9 different Links are brought together through time and space. (series where Wind comes from)

Pokémon - My absolute hyperfixation, my first love, I will always adore Pokémon and will be able to talk about it forever

Other Interesting Things:

Fish Out of Water - 40k words, a 5+1 Styled fic focusing on Wind's differences from the rest of the heroes. Featuring a lot of angst, fluff, Hurt/Comfort, and found family. Currently my favourite fic I've written.

Rito Headcanons - Headcanons about Wind Waker Era Rito Culture, Evolution, and Language

BTHB (Wind) - A Bad Things Happen Bingo board for Wind, where I can put my boy in Situations (series can be found here)

BTHB (Hunter) - Coming Soon™

Wind is an Anarchist nightmare and he will set the entire castle on fire while bitchos is asking himself if Caleb was ever this evil and gremlin like

i am so so glad you like this! this idea has been rattling around in my brain for weeks now, it feels so good to post about it and talk about it

the answer to all your questions is yes. very much yes.

Wind really wants to get home. Even if his brothers aggravate him, they're still family. tetra and the crew even more so. It's actually one of the reasons he gets close to Luz and The Owl House in general; Luz is still trying to find a way home, and Wind helps her out since that could be a way for him to get back to (as this starts Pre-Hollow Mind).

Hunter very much wants to get back to Belos, he needs to help prepare for the Day of Unity (he's not scared of what might happen when he's late, he deserves it). Although he doesn't trust this group, he thinks that the people talking about inter-dimensional travel are probably his best bet to getting back.

In terms of The Owl House's world, people outside of the castle aren't actually aware of it. Belos announces something about some mission he sent him on, and the people believe it. The Entrails (Willow especially) are worried about his scroll silence, though.

Of the people who do know about his disappearance: Darius was there when Wind escaped the castle from Hunter's room, and is worried about what happened to the kid. Luz is also worried about Hunter, but the appearance of Wind is placating her (at least until Hollow Mind).

For the Linked Universe world, the heroes are very concerned. One of the heroes was suddenly replaced by a new young blonde kid, who is very much not a champion of Hylia, and who is also not agreeable for a while. They can't do much about it, though, except wait for a new portal to arrive and hope for another chance to find their sailor.

When Hunter first appears, the Links very much do not trust Hunter. he keeps talking about this Emperor Belos, and this Boiling Isles, and everything else that they don't recognize, even though he looks like a regular Hylian.

That quickly changes, though. Time takes one look at Hunter, scars and all, and quickly adopts him too. Wild and Hyrule also warm up to him pretty quickly, talks of new worlds and magic quickly endearing him to them.

For Sky, Warriors, and Legend, it takes a long time for them to trust him. He's not one of Hylia's heroes, so Sky doesn't want to trust him with anything about their mission. He's the one that swapped with Wars' brother, so he doesn't wanto to accept him. And Legend is Legend (at least until Hollow Mind).

I think for the last one, it doesn't actually work. Belos notices that Hunter and Wind are swapped, and summons the sailor into the throne room. Wind follows him, and listens to his spiel about how he's gonna use The Day of Unity to save this realm (having heard from a mysterious partner in crime about Wind's own insecurites about failing entire realms [btoh Old Hyrule and the Ocean King's world]), but Wind doesn't believe him, and when he gets back to Hunter's room he instantly fights his way out of there.

If you have any more questions, I'd love to answer them! I have ideas for a good amount the timeline for this thought out, so it's just about getting out there now!

It's so funny to imagine Wind ready to square up with Belos, probably just being held back by Eda, while Hunter is just walking around, probably trying his best to not offend any authority figures he sees (like time, which is probably a shock to him, seeing how easily he listens to him compared to Wind.)

Then again, there's probably a lot of moments too where Wind tries to be delicate, especially around the other because students, thinking he needs to protect them. And there's definitely moments where Hunter just walks in front of the group and demands answers from a village, still acting like the Golden Guard.

Honestly those two are more similar than they both realize.

I think Wind would tell the Entrails when he does realize, but I don't think he does right away. He's probably too focused on getting back, at first at least, to put two and two together, probably just thinking Hunter is missing.

it is sad that Legend and Sky can't trust Hunter, but in his mind he honestly prefers it. He's used to the mistrust from the other coven heads and Kikimora - it's the kindness from people like Time, or the genuine interest from Hyrule that throws him for a loop. (and that probably hurts Time even more)

Wind theoretically could start going by Link again, but he probably at least feels like he's on the same journey, separated from the others but still on it, so he introduces himself as Wind and probably just sticks with it (also it's much easier to call him Wind in my own head, since the others are still involved).

Hollow Mind is my favourite episode of the whole show, so it's probably the moment I've fleshed out the most in my own head for this AU. I do have big plans for it hehehehe, and they do involve more than just Wind and Luz (maybe Legend and Hunter appear [and maybe Belos and someone else will too]).
