Summary:
“You are going to hear a lot of terrible things about me. Most of it is going to be true.”
Being the hero who saved Hyrule from a bloody war was a thankless job that left Warriors with more regrets than he cared to remember. He only started to heal after meeting his fellow heroes from across time and joining them on their quest to defeat the black-blooded monsters.
But when his time-hopping journey takes him back home, he finds his kingdom on the brink of war once more. This war threatens to ensnare not only Warriors, but his newfound family as well.
Warriors will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if that means becoming a traitor to the kingdom he gave up everything to save. But the harder Warriors works to protect his family, the more the secrets of his dark past come to life. Who is Captain Link Walton, the Hero of Warriors? What happened to the two other heroes he had once fought alongside all those years ago?
When this is over, will Warriors even have a family left to save or is he doomed to repeat his past mistakes?
(Once, there were three brothers: the captain, the engineer, and the child. Their story did not have a happy ending.)
I was going to joke about how not even AO3 outages can stop this fic, but an AO3 outage did in fact prevent me from posting last night.
Did I use that time to fix all of the obvious flaws in this chapter? No. This chapter is a plague upon my existence, and I wish I had bludgeoned it to death with a baseball bat.
In this installment of, ya know, this whole mess:
Link tries to help the mysterious light he found in the snow
Warriors endeavors to establish a foothold of power within Castle Town
Hey kids! Do you like learning the names of random old men? No? Too bad :)

Isabelle being just as violent as Doomguy: BROKE
Isabelle being a doting and loving wife that has not an ounce of combat in her body so she's always worrying about Doomguy getting hurt and patching up his wounds for him and kissing them better and teaching Doomguy how to be tender and loving after so many years of only knowing rage, finally giving him the respite he deserves: WOOOOKE!!!!!

Seen ask about how MC is basically carries bros family, and it's make me feel feelings
I mean, when Lucifer lost his memory, bros was like "MC what should we do??? " dudes, you're ancient demons, why do you ask some human 😭
Honestly, I like that bc it's help me writing my MC lol But also, it's interesting contrast between bros, who so depend on MC, and side characters who saw that shit and was like "not on my watch"
Especially love when Barb and Sol told about this, I guess that's why I warmed up to Barb, bc Sol is already the best boy. I hope Mephisto, Raph and 13 will help MC to be yourself, not perfect one, who should be always strong and collected
/but, still, I like that MC able to help Lucifer with his burden and let him breathe, he deserved it. Sometimes I hate how his brothers treat him and I never wanted to be in anti Lucifer team :/
Sorry for my english and have a good day 🤝
Hello, my friend!
Ah yes, the demons being oddly dependent on MC is a little confusing, but I guess it's because they want MC to feel like part of the family?
Personally I think they make the brothers too reliant on MC in general, but I suppose it's because they want it to feel like MC is super powerful and strong, even if they're just a human?
I think I ended up kinda going with the opposite for my MC. I was kinda like okay, well, my MC is a just a regular guy. They contribute to the problems just as much as they help solve them lol.
And while I'm sure the side characters can be just as problematic in their ways, they all feel like they have separate lives apart from MC. Like they don't just fall apart whenever MC isn't around.
I already kinda get those vibes from Mephisto after the recent NB lesson where he was worried about them getting hurt. Like he took the time to make sure they were okay and then started asking them if they missed their family and such. I'm hoping the same for Raphael and Thirteen. I think I like all these characters more for similar reasons - they got their own stuff going on. They feel like they don't just exist for MC, they have more stories, richer lives. Whereas some of the brothers really feel like they just exist to fill the number of sins and are lacking more nuanced roles. This is easily fixed in fanfiction and I like finding those pieces of each character myself when I'm writing for them, but it can make them feel kinda flat too.
Lucifer is the brother that has the most going on, in my opinion. He's the most fleshed out, so I think we get more insight into him as a character. He definitely needs to take a break and I love the entire concept of MC being the one who's like, I see you and I see the work you do and I need you to hand some of that over to me so that you can rest.
