It’s the downfall IAU again, after what feels like forever lol. This comes after this fic. (Though if you want a little more on what Sky is doing, you’ll have to read this one). Alternatively titled as Legend's little breakdown, pt.2

———

The first grey streaks of dawn had started to show when Sky finally reached his street, his wings heavy with exhaustion.

He stretched his good wing, then carefully extended what was left of his other one as well, grimacing at the familiar ache it left him with. He'd had them flush against his back most of the night though, and he knew they'd be worse if he didn't move them. Sky was used to his mangled wing aching anyway.

Shadows flickered by his feet as he avoided the glow from the streetlamps, hurrying towards his house, and Sky blinked away the sleep in his eyes, a tight feeling in his chest. He knew the sight of Malon’s house broken into and swarming with police and agents would stick with him for a long time, and the tight feeling only increased as he dwelt on it.

He’d seen no sign of any of his family members.

Sky had spent most of the night hiding around the outskirts of things, trying to pick up on any chatter about a further search or anyone arrested, but he’d heard nothing of use. All he’d gotten was that they were tearing the house apart looking for anything incriminating.

And after he’d been nearly discovered multiple times, Sky had realized he couldn’t do anything useful at the house, and he’d left, much to his regret. Sun had at least briefly contacted him earlier in the night, but Sky had been forced to silence his radio partway through her message, and hadn’t heard all the details. He only knew that Legend was safe, and Malon had been arrested.

Oh Malon, he thought, his chest further tightening. He’d always known it was risky what they were doing, but he hated reminders this stark, hated when they lost people. Please be okay.

Sky had spent the rest of the night taking the long way home to be safe, and was beyond relieved as he dragged himself up onto the porch, unlocking the door and letting himself in. It was early enough he knew everyone would still be asleep, and Sky let his wings droop, yawning tiredly as he stepped into his living room. He'd let Sun sleep, and nap on the couch until everyone else was up.

Sky had only taken a few steps when he had an odd sense he wasn't alone, and hesitated, looking around. Then froze.

Legend was fast asleep on the armchair closest to the door, bundled in a blanket with dried tear tracks on his face.

Sky breathed out, and stepped over to his nephew, watching him sleep in silence for a few moments. Legend looked terrible, and Sky felt a pang of grief for the poor kid. He looked horribly small with the way he was curled up, huddled tight in his blanket, and Sky gently ran a hand over his head.

Legend startled at the touch, his eyes flying open as his form flickered. Sky stayed still, kicking himself for waking him, and Legend looked confused as he shifted around, blinking rapidly as he took in where he was.

Then his gaze focused on Sky, and his expression crumpled with relief.

“Sky,” he breathed, and Sky nodded, giving him a sad smile. “You’re okay.”

“Yeah. Just in need of a nap,” he said, and Legend gave him a wobbly smile, wiping the sleep out of his eyes as he sat up. “How are you doing, buddy?"

Legend blinked, and shrugged. "Okay. I'm just a little sore,” he replied, and Sky searched his gaze, then set his hand on his shoulder.

“You sure?” he said softly. “Sun contacted me earlier, and while she didn’t get much of a message through, I... I heard about Malon.”

Legend's expression wavered, and he swallowed and looked down, not saying anything for a moment. When he raised his head again his face was carefully smoothed of any emotion.

“I’m fine. Did you find out anything useful?” Legend asked, and Sky sighed, deciding not to press the issue yet.

“No, all I really saw was way too many people scouring your house for anything incriminating,” Sky huffed. “Nothing helpful. It was a real mess down there... What happened yesterday, Legend?”

Legend looked at his lap again, shoulders slumping. “It’s a long story.”

He slowly began to explain though, and despite how exhausted he was, Sky listened quietly, growing more and more worried as he heard everything his nephew had been through the past two days. When he got to the part about Warriors, Sky looked at him in dismay, and Legend swallowed, quickly finishing his tale.

"Warriors..." Sky murmured, and Legend hunched up his shoulders.

"I don't want to talk about him."

"We can't just ignore him, Ledge," Sky said quietly, and Legend looked away.

"We've got bigger stuff to worry about right now," he said sharply, and Sky once again let it go with a sigh. At some point though, he'd be insisting his nephew give him more details on his brother's role in things.

No way Warriors did any of that willingly.

...Right?

Sky shook his head, and set thoughts of his brother aside. Not right now.

“So... Twilight. You don’t know anything about where he is?” Sky asked, and Legend nodded.

“He was on duty, and the order went out for all of us,” Legend said in an empty voice, gripping the blanket he was still wrapped in. “He probably got arrested before they even showed up at our house."

"You don't think he might have managed to get away?" Sky asked gently, noticing Legend's hands were shaking, and Legend swallowed thickly.

"I don't know."

Legend’s voice hitched at the end, and Sky carefully extended his good wing, setting it over his shoulder. Legend looked up at him, his lip trembling, and the tight feeling in Sky’s chest cracked into jagged, angry pieces at the look on his nephew’s face.

“I can’t keep doing this,” Legend said in a broken voice, and Sky pulled him into a hug, Legend nearly collapsing into the hold.

“Oh kiddo, you never should have had to,” Sky whispered, wrapping him tight in his arms. “I’m so sorry.”

Legend’s breath hitched again, and Sky held him tighter, wishing he could bring back every person his nephew had lost. Legend had already been through so much for somebody his age, and Sky... Sky hated it. He hated it so much.

Legend should be in school, making friends and goofing off, not crying into Sky's arms because his mother had been arrested just for helping people and he had no clue where his brother was.

And his father is gone and he doesn't know if he can trust his uncle and I can't do anything except hold him—

“Why do I keep losing people?” Legend choked into his shoulder, and Sky ran a hand over his head when he let out a shuddering breath.

“I don’t know. But you still have us, Link,” Sky said softly, Legend’s breath hitching again. “And we’re not going anywhere. We’ll get your mom back. And we’ll find Twi, I promise you we’ll figure out where they are and get them back.”

Legend hiccuped a sob into his shoulder, and Sky didn’t let go, lightly rubbing his back as Legend shook in his arms.

“I hate this,” Legend rasped, shaking harder. “I hate him, I hate—”

A hiccup interrupted him, and Legend fell silent, still trembling. Sky could tell it was partially from anger now.

“I know,” Sky replied wearily, closing his eyes and ignoring the ache in his wings from holding them around his nephew. “I know.”

Legend sniffled once, and neither of them spoke further as Legend’s tears slowly dried, and Sky continued to hold him while the sky lightened outside, the stars slowly disappearing into the coming dawn.

Anakin is demiaroace do you agree (like, i had a dream where vader had a new girlfriend for some reason and when i woke up i screamed at my brain beacouse what. That doesn't make sense. Why would he. ???)

ASDNKJ The way I pictured you like Anakin having his nightmares. I think it does make sense, Anakin being attracted only after a super deep emotional connection (Or should I say...ATTACHMENT???? DUM DUMMMM DUMMMMMM) does feel in character for him.

The thing with Anakin is that he has that flavour in which he feels queer one way or the other, like any headcanon feels fitting for him either way and I wouldn't blink.

But yeah, makes sense for them, Anakin struggles to form normal relationships, he has a super duper reduced circle of friends, and I think part of the reason why he was so into Padmé, was because of the trauma bonding, she's the only person he thinks truly undersdans and knows him because she met him when he was a little slave boy, and he met her thinking she was a handmaiden.

So yep, I agree! Makes sense for him, I can see it working for anidala, or really any ship for Anakin out there; once he feels a deep connection he stops Being Normal About It (tm)

Next chapter is coming along fairly well, but I actually worked on a later one a bit hehe. Sorry for the sort of gloomy wip, but... well this fic is gloomy sometimes lol.

“You saw all that smoke and didn’t think to investigate?” Wind asked in disbelief, and the man shrugged, hefting his catch over his arm.

“What they do in town is their business. There’s always some festival or other goin’ on, I figured it must be a bonfire or some sort,” he said in an unconcerned voice.

“Yeah, a bonfire of the whole town,” Legend spat, and the man paused, looking at him with narrowed eyes.

“What are you on about, lad?”

“The whole town was razed,” Warriors answered, voice holding back the emotion Wild knew was there. “Destroyed by monsters, and the townspeople killed. We found one survivor. That’s what the little bonfire you saw was.”

The man stared at them like he was waiting for one of them to tell him it was a joke, but as the silence stretched on, the lines on his face creased even deeper, and he ran a hand through his beard.

“One... Din’s claws,“ he swore softly, his grip tightening on his lantern. “Nobody else?”

“We would have found them,” Sky replied quietly. “I suppose it’s possible, but...”

“Not very likely,” Warriors finished in a grim voice.
