#like I know that happened during the twilight era too

[reginamillls]

imagine if fandom would treat buddie vs bucktommy the way of twilight fandom

Team Edward vs Team Jacob

I want merch, SNL skits, academic essays, fanfictions that become best selling books with character names being changed and later full length movies made after it

Linked Universe, The Hero of War

My headcanons/aus

Art by Atro

Colored version.

Long talk/Ideas under the cut, warning for implied self-harm and intentional scarring. (Note: I may add stuff over time, but nothing will be deleted from the list)

Twilight. Wind. Time. Hyrule. Four. Sky. Legend. Wild.

Warriors (Hyrule Warriors): Other nicknames: The Captain, Knight, Pretty boy, Flirt, One-Man army, Scarface.

Titles: The Hero of Hyrule, the Hero of the Era of War, The Gerudo’s prince, The Blood-stain General.

God who has claim over his soul: Demise (Because of the blessing from Ganondorf)

Note: Because of how much his war affected time and all that, he has met many different versions of the hero and looked after them (pretty much babysitting them). He’s also fought enemies he shouldn’t have and been to corrupt places, so he knows a little bit about everything.

History (note connecting to an au so most not canon):

Link was abandoned in the desert because he was a bastard, he ended up being adopted by Ganondorf the leader of the Gerudo. This Ganondorf knows the history of Hyrule but doesn’t want to be a destructive force, just wants his people to stay safe and alive. Ganon wants to be good, and makes a promise to himself by looking after the child he later calls his son. He eventually learns his son carries the Triforce of Courage, but doesn’t care, just wants to prove himself. 

Ganondorf is sort of warlike, mainly because his desert keeps getting attacked by outside nations and he’s trying to protect it. War grows up learning all different types of weapons, planning attacks and all that, but still always being protected by his father.

Eventually the malice was too much for Ganondorf, so Ganon sent War away, hoping he could have a good life before Ganondorf went to the Guardian of Time and pleaded with her to break apart and seal his soul.

Link is left in hyrule, his voice sealed away. Eventually he joins the army of hyrule as it’s really the only place that will take in someone like him, an orphan with no voice. Eventually the war starts, and it is revealed that he has the Triforce of Courage. He’s put in charge as the battle continues before Cia reveals hers, saying she is working for someone with the promise that Link will be hers. Eventually Cia is defeated however Ganondorf is now back.

Link tried to get his father to go back to normal, however it doesn’t work so Link was force to kill him, which only allow Ganondorf with his mind back, to plead and apologize to his son.

Link soon took on the persona of a flirty pretty boy, mainly as a way of coping. He also ends up carving up his face, because of what Cia would do just to get that pretty face. Right now he is Zelda’s right hand man and adviser.

Death: Unknown…..

Interesting stuff/Headcanons:

War’s love language has always been physically touch, the feeling of holding someone or being held and knowing you are safe.

He carved up his face after everything, mainly fearing that someone else would be after him, might as well damage what started the war.

He started the persona of the flirty pretty boy to survive in the army, most don’t know his true self besides the links, Zelda, Impa and Linkle.

Any romantic relationship he had with Zelda fizzled out when Cia happened.

War had deep seeded trust issues considering how many of his ‘friends’ were all in favor of tossing him to Cia to end the war.

War turned the flirting to girls during the war up it as a big ‘screw you’ to Cia.

War is ace, specifically a sex repulsed ace.

Ganondorf was somewhat paranoid about people taking his son away, so he trained War to be able to use any weapon he got his hands on.

He even taught him how to fight without one or turn your environment into a weapon.

This very much contrasted later as he refused to allow War to get involved when conflict happened, he had to stay in the palace where it was safe and figure out strategies.

War always had a stupid number of weapons on him. Many are hidden of course.

Even when sleeping he at least has three blades in reaching distance.

Because of what happened with his father, War always has a plan on what would've happened if one of his friends got possessed and what he could do to save them.

He also watches for weak points in others mostly to help them improve.

War thinks about battle and war in a terrifying mix of courage, wisdom and power, knowing where to strike and how to be effective with it.

Has a natural parenting instinct from babysitting young ones, both at home and from the war.

Typically wraps and tucks his scarf around his waist so it can’t be grabbed and actually choke him in battle.

He actually has Ice and Fire magic, because of a blessing from his grandmothers, it’s just not his preferred way of fighting.

Plus, it makes him weaker to the opposite element, it’s why fire from the dragon knight scarred and hurt more than normal.

Has a lot of manners from the gerudo (like why he had no problem with Zelda/Impa in charge), it’s just no one knows about the gerudo tribe in his world to notice.

Monsters either target War or hesitate to attack him, he uses this to his advantage.

War can play music on an Ocarina but can’t sing to save his life.

He is like a field medic, he knows how to save a life, but it won’t be comfortable.

The only person who knows who War’s father is, was Mask. Mask didn’t seem to judge War for it but was super angry at Ganon.

War doesn’t allow himself to express emotions outside the select ones for his ‘persona’.

So, if stuff gets really bad, he needs to scream or cry, he goes to somewhere completely hidden and breaks down (he knows this isn’t healthy, but he doesn’t care).

War is attached to the scarf because it reminds him of the fabric he wore at home, the one which was insisted on to protect his skin from the sun.

War has a screwed-up sleep schedule. He often takes a second shift and then just doesn’t wake up the others and continues the watch. 

He still has a necklace from his father, which his dad promised was laced with magic and would protect him. Despite how many times War tried to get rid of it, he can’t.

Sometimes gerudo words will slip in when he’s talking, most just think it’s a mistake.

War ‘hobbies’ are typically cleaning armor and sharpening weapons. However, he can use his magic to make little ice statues.

He has flashbacks, where he relives memories and battles. There not as bad as Wild sense he can be brought out of them, however there is a chance he could react violently.

Confined spaces can really set this off as he was captured by Cia for a short time.

He’s the closest and trusts Time/Mask the most, there are no secrets between them.

War acts almost like a drill sergeant in battles at times, no one dares go against his orders (this is after he got his voice back).

----

War is done, as you can see he is heavily based off my ‘Like father, like son’ au. The boy isn’t canon which means I can do whatever I want. Let me know your thoughts.

“More than one” part 2!

Linked universe x reader (s) (Female)

Warnings: confusing.

A/N: I didn’t think the other post would get so much, thank you all<3

“She’s awake!”

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

“An explanation is due.” Legends voice cuts through the silence earning a huff from Wild, “Can this wait until…later?”

“You can’t blame us for being curious, you did leave while we were sleeping—“

“And brought a girl with you!”

Sky and Wind chimed in, Wild wasn’t going to get a rest unless he told them, always on his arse he swears—

“Fine! I’ll tell” Wild clears his throat before sighing, “You see, she’s this girl from my era, she’s very important to me and she’s…one of the best things in my life and I plan on making sure she’s safe and by my side. Y/n L/n is her name and, goddesses if anything happens to her I would never forgive myself…” Wild says tenderly, he was very fond of you.

“Eugh, I asked for an explanation not a sappy, love story.” Legend takes his chance to tease Wild, “You’re the one that asked” Wild retaliates.

“Y/n huh? Must be a common name, I had a Y/n. She was certainly…Something.” Warriors voice grew a bit quiet as he looked off to the side, however no one really paid attention. “Yeah, I have a childhood best friend named Y/n” Four says, “Really? Me too!” Sky says, “The Y/n back at mine is such a sweetheart, city gal on the outside, country on the inside” Twilight spoke with a smile.

“Well I’ve got you all beat! My Y/n’s the best, she’s on of the best people I’ve met during my adventure!” Wind grins, “How about you, Hyrule? What about your Y/n?” Hyrule scratched the back of his head sheepishly, “Well, I never met a Y/n during my adventure so…can’t really comment”

“Jeez, if this Y/n girl makes all of you like this I hope I never meet a Y/n” Legend huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. “How about you, old man?” Twilight asked, Time only sighed and opened his open eye. “I don’t see how this is relevant to our current situation therefore we must shut it down and focus on the subject.” Everyone went quiet after Time spoke, they all looked a bit ashamed but none the less changed the subject.

“Sheesh, must’ve been a harsh break up for Time…” Legend whispered over to Sky who felt remorse for the eldest hero.

“When she wakes up we’ll need to ask her a few questions, hopefully she can provide a few answers.” Time says earning a nod from Wild, “I’ll do the talking”

Soon their ears twitch as they hear shuffling coming from Hyrules tent. Soon it opens to reveal you inside, “Holy Hylia! I’ve been robbed—kidnapped too! Give my stuff back you thieves!” You point at the group in front of you, clearly you haven’t processed the fact that your Link was there.

“Y/n! You’re awake” Wild got up to his feet to help you up since you were on all fours which could re open the wound on your side.

“Link? What the hell are you doing here? Did you rob me?”

“No I didn’t rob you, nor did they—look just come. We need to talk, alone.” Wild looks at the boys, once he earned a nod he took you by the hand and led you away.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

“So what’s this all about—woah!” Wild immediately wrapped his arms around you, “oh by the three, I’ve missed you so much” Wild buried his head into your neck as you giggled softly and hugged him back.

“Heh, I’ve missed you too” Wild moves his head so he’s looking up to you now, “How did you get here?” “Crazy story really! You see…a portal sucked me in while I was out trying to find you a couple weeks ago.”

“Weeks? You were here for that long, alone?” “Nah! You see I have this really cool girl group I travel with and wanna know something? They’re all Y/n’s!” You exclaimed making Wilds eyes widen in astonishment.

“Really?” “Yeah! There’s TPY/n, HWY/n, OOTY/n, SSY/n, LTTPY/n, LOZY/n, FSY/n, WWY/n. Bit of a tongue twister but when you meet them they’ll greet you properly”

Wild felt a bit overwhelmed of the thought of meeting more Y/n’s but he nods either way, if the others say their Y/n’s were as lovely as they described then he’ll be fine! "Anyways, do you know this place? what about you tell me what happened before, you were unconscious and wounded when I found you"

"I was? Damn, let me try and remember..." You thought for a bit before speaking again, "We found a village nearby and it was called Agoir city, it must be the capital of this land because it has a massive castle. Me and the girls were shopping around like usual until WWY/n had to go ahead and steal something and get caught. Since we all looked the same they probably thought we were a thief family or something along those lines. OOTY/n told us all to split up so we wouldn't be taken, I ended up with TPY/n but those guards were quite literally right up our asses so we had to fight a few"

"I'm sure violence could've been avoided"

"Nope! but then they all attacked me so they landed a few blows and..I don't remember the rest" You finish explaining, Wild nods, "That was helpful information, really was. I'll tell the others but- There was this dragon that was...protecting you" "Oh...That's a relief she wasn't taken...Where is she? Is she back at the camp?" You asked, Wild shook his head. "We left her back where we found her-" "You did what?!"

Wild closes his mouth and looks at you with his blue eyes that were filled with confusion, "Okay...Okay, Link I need you to come back with me to see if she's still there, please." You hold your hand out which he takes with no hesitation, "Yeah, okay. Just gotta tell the others first." "Others?" "Yeah, You woke up in a rush you probably didn't process the fact that there were others back at camp." You sighed softly as he begins to pull you back to them all.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

"Oh woah! So you all are Links? That must be confusing...?" You tilt your head as you look at the lookalikes, you could tell the differences of each Link but being surrounded by them all is making you realise...This bitch is attractive in every universe, (Besides from Wind but he still a cutie.) "It did but we got our own names to call us by" They went around in a circle to introduce themselves, after Time introduced himself he opened his mouth once again.

"Is it true? that there are other Y/n's here?" Time asked a bit on edge, "Yup! Somewhere in Agoir city, I plan on taking Wild with me if that's alright with you" "No."

Wild gulped as Time's voice was stern but you didn't falter, "Well with all due respect, mister but I don't think that's something you have control over. I need Link to help me save my friends and considering it's his duty to do so I don't think it's very wise to intervene." You spoke, a hint of sassiness in your tone...most of the boys shared one thought.

'Yup, definitely a Y/n'

"I wasn't going to deny...I was going to say we were all going to come along too" Time finishes making you sheepish, "Sorry..." You scratch the back of your head and he only chuckles lightly before getting up, "C'mon boys, pack up everything so we can leave as soon as we can"

To be continued…

I know I've mentioned this before, but sometimes I think it's a blessing that SM hadn't really read/watched much Vampire Stuff before she wrote Twilight.

Don't get me wrong--there are definitely times where I'm very frustrated by this, where she misses a key moment that someone more genre savvy would have taken full advantage of. The main character being turned into a vampire in such a clinical way removes so much of the intimacy and eroticism of vampire lit, for example. Or the way she didn't give her vampires any weaknesses and how that makes it so much harder to raise the stakes and put them in any real danger. Or to feel bad for their cursed existence because like . . . it actually seems not that bad without all the weaknesses and limitations.

But It's a blessing in a way because it allowed her to come up with characters like Emmett, Esme, and Carlisle. MOST of the sympathetic, 'good' vampires in fiction end up being like Edward. This brooding vampire who hates what he is and probably has some kind of Dark Past (Edward's vigilante era in his own opinion) but wants to be good but oh, the endless midnights! And obviously that's a compelling story; these tropes are used so often because people ENJOY them.

But then you have Emmett, who is a 'good' vampire too and just . . . doesn't care. He's nice. He'll protect you. But he's also killed people. Whoops. Probably felt bad about it at the time. Probably still feels a little bad if he thinks about it now. But he's not brooding about it. He's generally pretty happy and fun and doesn't take things too seriously. Normally this would be a 'bad' vampire or at least morally gray vampire but as written by SM, he's clearly intended to be a good guy. Just one of the bros who happens to be a vampire.

Then there's Carlisle, who had every reason to be the brooding vampire who hates himself (was actively hunting vampires when he was turned! son of a pastor! alone for centuries!) but instead he . . . just got on with it. Also I think his success with vegetarianism is in itself kind of unusual and refreshing for the genre. I know lots of people think he'd be more interesting if he had killed people but as someone who read Twilight during a marathon read of other vampire fiction the fact that he HADN'T was actually what made him interesting to me. It was bizarrely . . . hopeful? It's the kind of thing that someone actually vampire genre savvy probably wouldn't have done.

Likewise Esme just being this white suburban midwestern vampire mom and playing it 100% straight. This isn't some commentary on how vampirism is a shallow perversion of motherhood or whatever, Esme IS the mom. She does mom things. It's taken seriously. She's not some sinister Other Mother, she is genuinely loving and gentle and motherly and again, I feel like someone genre savvy wouldn't have played it that way.

Anyway, yes sometimes I long for more typical vampire stuff in Twilight, but sometimes the lack of genre knowledge worked out in its favor.

https://www.tumblr.com/mirensiart/766516621742374913/i-have-to-ask-is-the-curse-in-the-pain-sharing?source=share

I'm usually the definition of a lurker but I'm leaving the safety of the void to ask about what you think the other curses would be for each of the Links. I thought up a few but I want to hear what you think they'd be!

Sky: No idea

Four: Forcing all the Links to split. So there's now 36 Links! I can only imagine the chaos :)

Time: De-aging/advanced-aging curse. So either everyone gets turned into kids or old men, or a mix of both. Or maybe a timeloop! Or maybe something to do with his masks? He has too many possibilities!

Legend: The Pain-Sharing AU

Hyrule: I want to say The Blood Curse gets shared, but none of them would even know unless the monsters started sacrificing them so... maybe everyone turns into fairies?

Twilight: Animal/Dark World Forms Curse.

Wind: Its a common headcannon that Wind can see spirits right? Maybe the spirit sense gets spread around? But that seems more like a benefit than a curse...

Warriors: Uhhhh...? No idea.

Wild: The only thing I can think of is giving the entire Chain amnesia and forcing them to recover their memories the same way Wild does.

Ooooh! OK so, when I made that post I was thinking specifically about legend and twilight cause like, they're already cursed/have a magic thing going on (legend has the soul bond and twi the dark curse) so the wizzrobe would have something to grab onto to base it's curse of

But the idea that the wizzrobe would base the curse on details of each link is pretty interesting ngl

Sky can be either a curse where everyone suffers from stamina issues or that everyone is aware of where everything is making it a sensory nightmare cause of his tracking homing abilities, lol

Four can be very fun, the wizzrobe curse can be either everyone splits into 4 making it the worst thing ever lmao or everyone is now minish sized, like imagine them trying to deal with the black blooded monsters as tiny lil things lol

Time can be the aging-deaging one but like by 7 years lol either some of them get older by 7 years or get younger by 7 years, for the younger ones getting 7 years younger would suck tbh like wind would be 6 lmao the masks ones are also good I feel, maybe wizzrobe casts the spell and the only one standing is Time surrounded by 8 masks of each of his bros 🙃

Hyrule's i'd love it if if where the fairy one, everyone is a fairy!!!! They can't wield a sword or use their items so it would suck ass lol

Wind would be funny if like, the wind waker abilities get spread around, like one of them moves their arms a lil and a cyclone happens lmao they move their arms up and down and now suddenly they're all being blown over by a strong gale, they do some hand motions and oh I can control one of you now, they move during battle making motions with their arms and now it's night time lmao

Warriors' can be constant era hopping cause of how there are so many portals between eras in his game, if the normal portals were annoying, then now every couple of minutes, a portal opens up, and they're in another time lol

Wild's giving them amnesia is so funny and idk why, I like this, everyone just standing there looking at each other like "who the fuck are you.....and who the fuck am I???"

And well, twilight's is the everyone is their dark world animal one and I love that one a lot too hehe

In a way, legend's pain sharing curse is one of the least awful ones lol

[sapphicseasapphire]

Miscellaneous Cryptid au lore bits that are too short/too specific to make it into individual posts!

If you want more information about any of these, feel free to ask! I’m always willing to ramble about my Little Guys haha!

(In no particular order)

• Sky’s wings are too big to fit through doors. He will 100% for sure run into people in a crowded street. Because of this, he stays behind when the others go to villages. This gets incredibly lonely for our friendly little bird boy so eventually it’s decided that someone has to stay with him. This leads to one on one bonding between Sky and everyone in the Chain! (Except Time)

• Four can control water, earth, fire, and air, but not particularly well. Jack of all trades is a master of none. That being said, each individual color is a master of their element, so when separated, they are a FORCE to be reconned with. Their diminished power as a whole is a huge source of frustration for them, but I can’t let them be too powerful.

• After the their adventure is over, Time lives out the rest of what would have been his mortal life with Malon, then he takes care of his children, and his children’s children. But eventually he’s just… lived too long. His humanity falls away and he becomes more and more of a God and stops interacting with mortals almost entirely. Except when the other Links are born in their own eras, Time looks after them Father Time style and if they fall, he rewinds to before they were injured (their last “save point”) and pushes them to a better path. (Game over. Continue?)

• Even if someone is born with the blood of a God, their powers need to be awakened. This usually happens in a moment of desperation. For example, during Time’s adventures, he meddled with the flow of time so much that it became his dominion. Twilight’s powers awakened when he was like two years old. His parents had been killed by monsters- monsters that were now looking for him. And in his desperation, he looked to a squirrel in the tree above and he copied it. The monsters lost track of him, ignoring the animals of the forest. Time was gifted, well… time… because against a falling moon, it was his last hope. Twilight was gifted shape shifting because he had no other chance of survival.

^ Hylia doesn’t count because she was one of the original Goddesses. Many of the Zeldas, while they do possess the blood of the Goddess, have not had their awakening. Yet.

• Warriors will sometimes blurt out random sets of data without being prompted. He’ll ask to run calculations on things that no one has ever asked him to. And while the others might find this confusing, it’s his way of expressing his interests. Of learning more about the things that he likes, of telling people about the things that he likes. This happens rarely, but when it does, Sky drops EVERYTHING to talk with him, so excited to see him opening up.

• The Legend of the Godkiller is a very idealized and not very accurate retelling of Sky’s final battle against Demise. It paints him as a very confident, willing knight of the Goddess. Full of righteous anger and absolutely thrumming with power. In the story that Time knows, Sky wasn’t even scared. He knew he was capable of killing Demise, and he wasn’t even surprised when he was cursed. This is… far from the truth.

• Yeah, Time knows about Sky’s curse. But what’s he gonna do? Confront him about it? Tell the others? And risk drawing the wrath of the Godkiller? Absolutely not.

• Wild is more sentient than he lets on. He understands more than the others might think. He’s a little chaos gremlin who gets so easily distracted and acts more like a wild animal than a person, but he’s very smart. He couldn’t do long division but he can tell that… something’s not right with Sky and the Master Sword. The others haven’t caught on yet.

• Wild KNOWS THINGS. That he SHOULDN’T.

• Hyrule is so incredibly timid by nature. He’s used to being hunted: first as a fairy, sought for his healing magic, and then because of his blood curse, sought by monsters to bring about the revival of Ganon. Because of this, he’s incredibly shy. Until one of his companions gets hurt!! Then he’s ALL BUSINESS and he speaks with the authority that one might expect from a fairy so powerful.

• Speaking of that! At first, no one knew he was a fairy! He was afraid that they’d bottle him (they had other bottled fairies in their pouches when he’d first met the others, so it was justified). He kept up his glamour until he physically couldn’t anymore. The others knew he was a magic user- he tended to fight less with a sword and more with his spells and had an affinity for healing, but they didn’t know JUST how powerful he was until his glamour fell apart.

• Hyrule’s glamour can change the way that people see things, but it cannot change the physical shape of something. (Except himself, because his body is mostly magic anyway). For example, he could hide Four’s horns, but if you were to touch the top of Four’s head, you’d still feel them! He can make Wild look like a Hylian, but that doesn’t make their antennae go away. This is why Sky can’t go into towns: his wings may be invisible, but they’re still there, they can still feel pain and can still bump into people and walls. So… he can’t fit, unfortunately.

• The best swimmer (aside from Legend, Ravio, and Wind) is Sky. Which is weird, right? One might think that those massive wings would slow him down. But he has the Water Dragon’s Scale! Everyone’s so surprised when he starts racing people and WINNING. When he jumps out of the water in a spiral spin. Legend can call him a cheater all he wants, but he’ll be a hypocrite for it. He can’t say anything about using magic items to bolster abilities.

• Legend and Wind go from enemies to best friends in the course of like a month. They bond over a war and the ocean, and their connection is strengthened by the conflict that they’re both familiar with. Honestly a big reason that Legend warms up to Wind is that Ravio is fond of him. Also it’s actually impossible to hate Wind. Also he went to Outset that one time and was ablel to better understand Wind’s perspective.

• Wind dies a little bit inside every time Aryll or his grandma call themselves a Sea Monster. But he doesn’t have the heart to correct them.

• Ravio was never really afraid of Wind himself. More so… afraid of the monster that he had the potential to be (Ku). When Wind was never corrupted, Ravio had no reason to hate him! So they became friends during the War of Eras.

• Ravio joins the Chain very late. But we love him anyway.

• Twilight has little nicknames for everyone. If he calls them by their actual name/their title, they’re in trouble.

• Four only splits around Sky, Warriors, Hyrule and Twilight at first. Actually, the first person they split in front of was Sky but that was an accident. Once they determine that it’s safe, they start doing it around the others… slowly but surely…

• Post God Reveal, Legend and Four join Sky in the “distrust Time” corner

• Time wields Wars’ sword because Wars has deemed him the most powerful. Because of this, Warriors will go with Time when their adventure comes to an end. (This way, neither of them have to face eternity alone).

• I know I made a whole big long post about what happens to Mer if they don’t soak, but I neglected to say that all that will happen to Aquili too, just to a lesser extent. Wind needs to soak as well, just not as often as Legend and Ravio do.

• Mer cannot assume their natural form if they have anything on their legs/feet where their tail would go. Ravio’s… not wearing anything under his robes. And Legend… isn’t wearing anything under his skirt. Being barefoot definitely isn’t ideal but it’s better than the alternative: being unable to soak and drying out. Now, they could simply remove their shoes/pants, but they’re traveling and often in battle and they don’t always have the time to shed their clothes. If they need to jump into the water? They jump into the water.

• During Legend’s adventures, him being Mer was a secret. (The Zora were already antagonistic- imagine what they’d do if they knew he was a war mongering Mer!) This is why he needed flippers or a magic item to be able to swim- something on his feet or something magically imbued to keep him from transforming.

• For Sky, Link and Aepon are generally completely fused, but there are certain events that can force an imbalance between their influence over him. For example, if he’s hurt and takes a heart potion for healing, the body is healed, his Link half is healed, but is Aepon half is still weakened. The others might notice that he acts differently after taking a potion and he just seems very… unwell. Distressed, panicked. But also, he has both Aepon dreams and Link dreams. And depending on their frequency and severity, they can affect how he acts when he wakes, at least until both halves are sufficiently awake.

• When Sky’s Aepon half is more dominant, he is actually legitimately a bird. He doesn’t speak, he just chirps and squawks and trills like a bird. He looses all sense of personal space. And he’ll LOOSE IT if his feathers are touched.

• Sky can’t see well at night but he has a much greater endurance for looking at bright things.

• Hyrule hangs out around Sky as much as he can because Sky can’t take heart potions and also his bones are literally hollow and can break a lot easier than the others’

• Hyrule is a GIFT to this world and I don’t draw him enough.

I have a LOT MORE to say about these guys but this is just off the top of my head right now. Also I don’t want to spoil story elements! But let me know if you have any questions or want more context! I have short stories written about like half of these.



[tw1l1te]

Heyy you fabulous writter! You've had me hooked ever since I first found a post of yours and I don't know if you're taking writing requests but if you are...I'd like to humbly request you to write this idea?🙏

Essentially I think it'd be really cute having a small one-shot of the LU boys in twilights hyrule and them meeting his S/O. His S/O can either be a simple farmer who grew up in the same area or the idea of someone he met on his journey who also had animal turning 'abilities'/features comes to mind so they understand each other more than most. IDK if it's a silly idea or not I just thinks the boys reactions (especially time teasing twilight and such) would be Hella cute! Anyways thanks and keep the good work up! 🫡

Twilight was getting giddier by the second as he approached Ordon, and the boys could tell. He was clenching and unclenching his fists, trying the keep the nervousness at bay, but how could he do that when he was about to see you. His beloved.

"I don't think I have ever seen you this jittery before, Pup. What's wrong?"

Twilight was about to answer him when they hear a loud gasp.

Twilight turns to see you on a tree above them, clad in what seems to be.... his old tunic? You jump down, hopping down branch by branch before landing inches away from Twilight.

"Oh by three- you're home! I missed you so much-"

He shuts you up, by pulling you in for a kiss, months of love and desperation melting onto you.

You had to pull away to avoid creating awkwardness for the others, "Alright, easyyy cowboy. Now why don't you tell me about your lil' friends?"

Time raises an eyebrow at him, clearly interested in your character.

"Oh! I completely forgot t' introduce myself! I'm Y/n, mister hero's partner."

Time nods, holding out a hand to shake.

"I'm Time, a... friend of Link's. We all met on his recent adventure."

You nod, squinting a bit at him, then eyeing the rest of them. You walk around them slightly, eyeing their garb and equipment a bit before nodding back at your boyfriend.

"They're Links too, aren't they?"

Legend jumps slightly at that, "How did you-"

You smile at him, "I gotta good nose."

Twilight shakes his head, chuckling "Alright, lets go back to the village before you start figuring everyone out."

You jog up to him, animatedly waving your hands, rambling about Colin and how good with swordsmanship he's become. Before you could continue rambling, Wind asks, "How'd you two meet?"

You and Twilight pause, looking at each other before responding.

"Oh, y'know, I met him on his quest during the Twilight Era. Stinky do-wait, they know, right?"

"They're too nosy for their own good."

"Right, so. I met him while I was in my alternate form. Fell on top of me from a brittle tree-"

"-Wait, you have a wolf form too?!" Wind exclaims, running up to you.

You snort, this kid's funny.

"Nah, that's hero's spirit and all. It's better if I show ya."

You focus for a moment before you feel the shift, still uncomfortable but so much less painful than the first time it happened, oh so many years ago.

Opening your eyes, you can feel your senses sharpen, everything intensifying tenfold.

"A fucking fox???!?!! Twilight, your wife is so cool."

"Not my wife yet, but thank you."

You walk up to Wind, cooing at him. He hesitantly pets your fur on your head, earning him a soft purr from you.

You walk up to the rest of them, just looking at them. You give a few extra sniffs to the pink-haired one, him smelling like hare.

Shifting back, you walk back to Twilight, your fur coat retreating back into your skin. You give him a peck on the cheek, continuing your way back to the village.

"Y'all coming or what?"

Twilight breaks out of his lovestruck trance, following you. Time walks up to Twilight, muttering to him,

"I can tell you've got a thing for foxy personalities."

"Oh, shut up."

If Wild dies

*ahem* so i'm writing a fic right now where Wild just straight up perishes, dead as a doorknob, literally a corpse. and as I write Warriors's POV (the guy that he is) he realizes: "huh we're kinda fucked" bc we're in Wild's era without Wild which means how are we going to know where we're going especially since his slate doesn't open to anybody else but him (which is different in different fics but for mine it won't open unless it's keyed to someone by purah).

here are a list of problems if Wild were to die:

no food! at all! it was all in that ding dang slate

no cook! can these boys cook to save their lives? just barely sure, they can make simple things, like fish on a stick, meat on a stick, vegetables on a stick with a sprinkle of salt maybe even pepper if they're feeling adventurous. porridge? some berries in the wilderness they'd have to test if they're poisonous or not. also no variety anymore. they don't have the time or resources to learn to cook other things. warriors is grateful it's still better than the rations they had during the war

less time! they gotta hunt and forage for. every. single. meal now, and then figure out what to cook. wild and his slate saved them so much time on getting the ingredients, figuring out what to cook in the first place, a skilled cook can also prepare and finish cooking in less time than an amateur.

morale! their brother is dead, but also every time they're struggling to get food and eating something they've scrounged together and doesn't taste good at all, they're reminded of that same dead brother, who woulda suspected that would happen. and something Warriors points out is that having good warm food was amazing for their morale. now it's gone

lost! without the era's native link and that damn slate, how are they going to figure out where to go. they're in the middle of nowhere! they'd eventually find a road but before that they could very well run into a lynel or a field of guardians maybe or wander into an area with lightning storms without preparation, they'd probably forget about the blood moon until it's too late too.

big! Wild's era is huge. they're lost, they have to think of how to feed themselves which again means less time, they're not getting anywhere quick enough anymore. if they land in wild's era it'd take more time finding out why they were sent there, more time finding out how to get to where they need to be, less time to save the people of Wild's era

their only potion brewer! i don't see this being a big thing in most LU fics, but Wild can make elixirs! things to make people faster, hit harder, more defense, more stamina, heal! he'd be a huge help to Hyrule in both healing and to recuperate his magic

their best archer! Wild is their eye in the sky, their long range support, they're used to an arrow taking down threats they didn't notice were there, or trusting Wild to take down foes as they fight. what happens when that's suddenly gone? fatal mistakes. none of the others are that exceptional with archery to replace him and the only one i can think of is twilight with his mask but twilight is such a heavy hitter they need him on the frontlines. how would their strategies be redrawn to make up for Wild's gaping absence

which all got me thinking: what other eras would be a nightmare for them if the native Link died?

I think for sure, top of the list, the winner, is Wind. they'd be absolutely in a pickle if Wind wasn't there with them. legend would probably take over in sailing, but boy he'd sure hate that if you know what i mean (everyone knows what I mean). losing their youngest would be a huge blow as well

but also, in a completely different, opposite pain, they would have a significantly easier time in Hyrule's era if he were to be dead bc the monsters wouldn't be chasing them. again, legend would hate that whole situation. also imagine losing their only healer.

i think the others' eras are relatively familiar to other links (unlike wild's) or not as different of a landscape (unlike wind's) and not as hostile (unlike hyrule's) to affect them too much.

( i completely forgot about Sky's era! but honestly i can't see him dying in general since he has to be king of hyrule and all that? but if he did yea i think it'd be pretty difficult for the others in his era)

also I've never played the games (except BOTW) and all my knowledge is from fandom so forgive me if I'm wrong about some things! let me know if there's a detail I don't know that would change stuff, i'm curious! but also any other thoughts would be interesting to read too!

also also if anyone is interested in the fic that started this thought process here's a link

Divine and Draconic Differences

The skies were clear and the weather was pleasant as the heroes congregated outside of Wild and Flora’s Hateno home. It was peaceful, a nice and welcomed reprieve from the era before.

Wind, a still growing teenager, was overflowing with energy, tugging around an equally as eager Hyrule, to explore everything possible. He had his spyglass out, sweeping across the vast land of the Wild Era. Every so often, he’d hand his spyglass over to the traveler to allow him a go.

His telescope was focused on a chasm far out, watching the remaining wisps of gloom fade into the air. Mesmerized by the red-purple, he didn’t fully register the white-blue on the edge until it had blocked his view.

“Wild! What the fuck is that?!” Keeping his focus on the serpentine creature in the sky, he heard Wild approach his side with the familiar sound of him activating his slate’s scope mode.

“That’s Naydra, one of the dragons.”

That… didn’t look like a dragon. Dropping his spyglass from his eye, Wind fixed Wild with a stare. The scarred hero stared back.

“Don’t look at me like that. There’s three dragons, they’re all servants of the springs. Naydra happens to be the servant of the Spring of Wisdom, which is,” he grabbed Wind’s shoulder and spun him around, pointing to a mountain peak covered in snow, “right on that peak over there.” Wind moved his gaze to the mountain peak, following Wild’s finger. He could see the vague shape of pillars.

“Huh… so you have dragons too? They look different from mine.” Wind began walking back to the rest of the group, who had been listening in on the conversation, no matter how hard they tried hiding it. Wild took a few seconds to decipher the information, and ran to catch up with the sailor.

“What do you mean “you too”? I didn’t know anyone else had dragons!” Wind shrugged.

“Like I said, mine are different, like Valoo. He was a sky spirit I met during my first adventure. And the only one that didn’t try to kill me.” He plopped down next to Warriors, who offered the young hero one of the apples he had.

“Still! Does anyone else have dragons?” All hands went up except for the smithy, who looked utterly confused as he mouthed dragons over and over, eyes swirling different colors.

“In my defense, all of my dragons wanted to kill me.” Hyrule exclaimed, being seconded by Time, Twilight, Warriors, and Legend.

The five heroes delved into further conversation about their draconic enemies. Wind wiggled into the group, chattering about the gleeoks he fought. Wild chimed in about having to fight gleeoks as well, explaining about the King Gleeoks residing in hard-to-reach locations.

“The dragons I know serve Hylia.” A few grimaced at the mention of the goddess, but the dislike was outweighed by the curiosity of Sky’s dragons.

“The three of them were assigned to watch over different provinces of the Surface. They also protected the sacred flames, and held parts of the Song of the Hero.”

Wild was immediately upon Sky, spitting out questions with very little breaths between, all centered on what they looked like, if they had any powers, and anything of the sort.

“Of course they have powers, they guard and protect the Triforce. Even the gods wouldn’t be able to reach it with them guarding the key to it.

Gods and Goddesses were a touchy subject. Some were openly hostile towards them, others in the middle, and some revered them. Yet, the topic always raised an interesting thought; just how many are there?

“Do you think there’s more than just Hylia?” Came Four’s voice, eyes shining a curious violet.

“There’s the light spirits in my era,” Twilight rested his chin in his palm, “Ordona, Lanayru, Eldin, and Faron. They protect the regions they share names with.”

“Oh, and the Golden Goddesses! They’re the ones that submerged Hyrule!” Wind piped up, leaning against Warriors, who grimaced as the sailor’s sharp elbow dug into his thigh.

A soft hum emitted from Time, who had been running his fingers along his markings, a pensive look across his face. Wild bounded off of Sky, and settled next to Twilight.

“I know of one! Legends talk about a Fierce Deity… they say that if one dons his armor and mask they gain godlike power.”

Time gave a sharp inhale, and his fingers dropped from his face.

Others shook their heads, either not having any other gods, goddesses, or deities in their time, or having the same ones as someone else.

“Not anymore.”

Eight heads turned towards Sky, who had found a stick and was whittling absentmindedly, a stormy look across his face. They all shared a few glances- curiosity, and a little bit of fear.

‘Not anymore’?

“Oh! There is another- the Deity of War.” Hyrule broke the silence, fingers tying blades of grass into circles while his gaze rested on the other heroes.

“Isn’t that the same as the Fierce Deity?” Twilight cocked his head.

Legend scoffed.

“Many think that, but”, he stood up and turned so he was facing all eight heroes, “they are different. He’s the Deity of War, exactly as his name implies; a powerhouse on the battlefield, calculated and quick. The Fierce Deity doesn’t focus on war, he focuses on ferocity, on power, on courage. It’s in their names, it really is that simple.”

The veteran launched further into an explanation about the two, pointing out the similarities and differences, both surface level and deeper. Pointed ears all upright, revealing without words how invested they were in this newly learned-about deity.

Wild shot up out of his seat and ran to the house, slamming the door open, sounds of rustling and clanging could be heard, and the heroes remaining shared concerned glances. The current era’s hero came racing back out- not bothering to shut the door- with a book in his grasp.

“Legends Throughout the Ages” read the title of the book in intricate gold. The book itself seemed to be in good condition, missing the normal wear and tear they had seen on other things in the champion’s era.

“I know about him! Flora was talking about some books she had found in the castle,” he thumbed through the pages, “and she thought I would like this one… Aha!” Wild smoothed the book to lay flat on pages marked with blue fabric scraps.

On the pages were long paragraphs of stories and legends of the deity, exploring where he originated from and what eras his legends came from. Taking up a sizable portion of the right page was an image.

“Hey, he kind of looks like Warriors!”

Wind grabbed the book from Wild and pranced back over to the captain, who only raised an eyebrow at him, his now finished apple set off to the side. The sailor raised the book next to Warriors and basked in the ‘oohs’ when they realized that their youngest was right.

The picture and the captain looked nearly identical; only differentiated by the gold and blue markings on the deity’s face, blank eyes, and the color of the armor- a vibrant gold- and the tunic- a pale cream.

Snatching the book, Warriors scanned over the page, lingering on the photo a little longer.

“I don’t see it.”

That caused an uproar, as Wind and Wild both pounced on the captain, claiming that he was wrong and everyone could very well see it, while Hyrule just looked at the captain like he had grown a second head. The others groaned quietly.

There goes the relaxing day they were hoping for.

part 2 of warriors headcanons because i realized i did forget some so more word vomit from me i guess. dont worry this one wont be nearly as long as the last one.

warriors is about 16 when the war of eras begins and about 19 when it ends, somewhere between 22-26 when meeting the chain(depends on the au tbh)

warriors is the main medic of the group, while he was very skilled with a sword and in magic weapons and does like the thrill of fighting to a degree, his main focus was learning field medicine, he wanted to help people in other ways then just fighting, tho he was never skilled at healing magic that way he is with combat magic, something he does get mad at himself for sometimes

warriors era is the one directly before wilds, the first calamity just hasnt happened yet but it is in warriors future, maybe shortly after or a few years after the chain parts ways, sheikah tech has been in the works since before the war of eras even started they just didnt start building guardians and divine beast until part way through/after the war, warriors does have a slate that he uses but he left it back in his era as he felt he didnt need it(he regrets this as his fire rod is in it along with his self care items and a majority of his medical and sewing/mending/knitting supplies,he vows that he will bring it along next time they make it to his era)

i also think that all three timelines did eventually merge back into one about a few centuries or so before the war of era, which is why even though they surprised to see people from the past they still know who they are/or connected too, and might be why cia/lana was a guardian of time in the first place, to make sure the merging went smoothly

he has burn scars on most of his left arm and side, while not as bad as wilds scarring, it does still bother him from time to time and makes it harder for him to tell if hes been injured in those areas

on a funny note he doesn't just get flustered around men only if they're attractive but also if they're genuinely just nice to him, because of this he did get flustered because of twilight and sky before realizing who they were and how they were connected to him, something he is deeply embarrassed about later and that the rest of the chain do tease him about occasionally(though they do worry a bit that he got that flusted just because someone was nice to him)

during the war besides being close to mask/time and tune/wind i think he was actually close friends with both midna and marin, being the only other ones close to his age, they had regular vent/shit talk sessions in down time, usually making ravio/whatever poor soldier babysit mask and tune

i do subscribe to the headcanon that he might be a decendent of twilights line and maybe wilds ancestor, but while he can absolutely tell time, twilight and wild are all related he doesnt really realize he himself is also related to all three, in fact most if not all of the group dont put it together that he is and i dont know weather i want them to or not, it has potential to have either a lot of angst or a lot of humor

[crazylittlejester]

I've been reading the asks about Warriors, and I have been wondering if he swears around the kids. Cause on one hand, he is stressed 25/8 and a captain and the others have probably heard worse already, on the other he is a mom and a captain and is tries to be a good role mode.

Also, following thought. Does he swear in other Languages that others don't speak or does he also uses non-swears.

(Also, does he let other think he swears/that they learn swears but actually he's saying things like 'chicken' and 'bubbles')

I don’t know which specific Warriors you’re talking about, because I write quite a lot of different versions of him, but I’m going to assume you mean like normal LU Warriors so I’ll answer this based off how I characterize him in You’re A Part Of Me because that’s how I personally characterize regular ol’ LU Wars :)

First question: Does he swear around the kids?

For the most part he tries not to, but he doesn’t always succeed. During the war of eras he definitely had a lot less control because of how much stress he was under, so he swore around Mask or Tune more than a few times, but he definitely never swore AT them and he tried to get Mask to stop saying ‘fuck’ all the time (he wasn’t the most successful, and he barely even tried with Tune). Nowadays he doesn’t swear around the younger members of the chain if it can be avoided, and he’s so used to hearing Tune swear that he doesn’t always consciously register it when he hears Wind say bad words so he only corrects him 25% of the time. He doesn’t watch himself as closely when he’s hanging around Twilight or Time so he’ll swear pretty freely around them. He is a man who always thinks before he speaks, he’s very careful of EVERYTHING he says (when he’s in a good mental state, obviously he’s not the best at thinking before he speaks when he’s having a breakdown), but sometimes properly expressing emotions or emphasizing things is hard for him to do without swearing

2. Does he swear in other languages?

100%, especially when he’s super frustrated. Sometimes after a long day of things building up and then one little inconvenience happens, a guy just has to scream ‘fuck’. And he’s not always going to take the time to think about what language the people around him understand, he’s gonna shout the first version of it that comes to mind. I also think he’s the kind of guy to grumble about things under his breath and i can see him doing that in other languages too

And for the last one: Would he say random words in other languages in the tone one might swear in to potentially trick the others into thinking those were swear words so the others would then repeat those words thinking they’re swearing when really they’re not?

Absolutely. And Wind is definitely the one who mimics him angrily muttering things like “bubbles” under his breath

Yellowjackets + Twilight

Resume: I don't know...I like Twilight and I like Yellowjackets....do I need to explain anything else???

Tw: Brief descriptions of violence (nothing too deep), hybrids, mentions of bullying and not belonging or fitting into a social group; I think that's all, It hasn't been reviewed either and probably won't be, I'm too lazy

(English is not my first language)

Shuana Shipman---- Ok, let's start with our dear Shauna, I think it's public knowledge that this girl would DEFINITELY be a wolf, like... are there any doubts about that? Just look at this girl, she exudes puppy energy, that being said...wolf (or werewolf, whatever) Shauna!!! I can imagine her starting to show signs of transformation really early, as if she was a little precocious with it, maybe between 10/11 years old, but as she was really very young the transformation never happened, but like I said , signs, lots of signs, like she became excessively more temperamental, getting irritated by the smallest thing and she even punched another child at school because he tried to steal one of her crayons (this girl's parents went through difficult times at that time), also her body temperature was crazy, she was so, so hot that sometimes her mother told her to stay at home, since if any teacher felt this they would probably call the doctors for this girl, she was like a pot of tea steamy, also hair, this girl started having a body hair outbreak and that's okay, body hair is completely normal, but in her case? I'm really talking about an outbreak of body hair, as if it grew so quickly and so suddenly in the most random places, as if this poor baby had to constantly shave a single, isolated, very dense tuft of hair that had grown on his elbow during the night, it was literally from one day to the next 😭😭 I think she probably had this headache for a long time until the symptoms finally calmed her down and then suddenly disappeared, it worried her parents because it happened for a solid year and then all of a sudden it just stopped. , until she was 14 years old, when suddenly, without any previous symptoms, She was at home when she felt a mind-boggling pain in her spine that soon spread to every bone in her body and poor thing, she destroyed her own room, as if she was struggling and bumping into things, knocking everything over while literally screaming in pain and no one warned her that the first time could be so painful (in fact it varies completely from person to person 😀). Anyway, when she finally manages to transform, I personally see her being big, like...really really big, I know that in Twilight the wolves are already huge, but as we saw in the case of Seth Clearwater, character played by Booboo Stewart, young wolves tend to be smaller than adults (obviously), so here's the thing, I can see her being a lot bigger than most other young wolves, but still smaller than an adult, I also think she would be the most feisty among the young people and also the one with the most brute strength and may or may not end up accidentally hurting others sometimes... poor thing, she's just a very big dog who sometimes has no idea of her own strength and size😫 She is also a beautiful and proud wolf with brown fur, as if she has a dark brown fur with a beautiful transition to a lighter brown, almost camel in the belly area, she also has a lighter pattern in the fur in the center of her face. and near the muzzle.

Jekie Taylor----Ok...agora Jackie foi quem realmente me deixou pensando, pois eu estava muito em conflito entre a humana Jackie que já era a melhor amiga de Shuana e descobriu seu segredo e isso a levou a cair de cabeça nesse mundo maluco de lobisomens e vampiros, basicamente o que aconteceu com Belle e Edward... mas neste caso seria mais Belle e Jacob... ou melhor, Jackie e Shauna. Mas também gosto muito da ideia da Vampire Jackie e que o que levou a sua transformação foi o mesmo motivo que levou a sua morte na série, mas neste caso todo o cenário do acidente não existe, mas ainda existe todo o problema com Shauna, talvez Toda essa briga tenha acontecido durante uma festa do pijama na casa de Shauna e ela saiu com muita raiva durante o inverno gelado lá fora, e ela sabia que não deveria fazer isso, mas ela estava com muita raiva, e Shauna sabia que não deveria deixe ela. para fazer isso, mas ela também estava com muita raiva e os dois estavam sendo tão mesquinhos com isso, eu só sei que estava frio e ficando tarde e muito escuro, ela estava desesperada, tão exausta e sentiu seus pés queimando em toda aquela neve porque depois Depois de caminhar tanto tempo foi como se aquelas botas grossas de frio não estivessem mais adiantando, ela desmaiou de tanto frio em algum momento e felizmente (ou não, dependendo do seu ponto de vista), foi encontrada por um vampiro, não outra pessoa. cruel como Victoria, mas alguém bom e gentil como Carlisle Cullen, que a salva levando-a para casa e embrulhando-a da melhor maneira que pode e tentando fazer com que sua temperatura corporal volte ao normal, mas ela já está muito fraca e parece irreparável, então ele sabe que se não fizer alguma coisa essa menina vai morrer e então ela toma essa decisão, a decisão de salvá-la, ele a transforma. Sobre Jackie como uma vampira e recém-criada, acho que todo mundo que assistiu Crepúsculo sabe que os recém-criados podem ser muito perigosos e instáveis, então assim que Jackie acorda o vampiro que a transformou assume um ótimo trabalho de reeducá-la. , para que ela aprenda a se controlar, além de ensiná-la a caçar se alimentando apenas de sangue de animais, o que sinceramente acho que seria super difícil, como se ela fosse mesmo teimosa e instável, ela não quer faz isso, se alimenta de humanos, mas o lado vampiro e faminto dela quer, quer muito 😈😈😈; No meio de tudo isso temos não só Shauna, mas também toda a polícia da cidade procurando pela jovem desaparecida Jeckie Taylor, pois ela não voltou para casa após a briga com Shuana, falando em Shuana, a pobre menina se sente tão culpada e ela está TÃO DESESPERADA, porque em circunstâncias normais ela simplesmente sentiria o cheiro de Jackie, mas agora ela simplesmente não consegue sentir o cheiro dele em lugar nenhum, para ela é como se Jackie tivesse simplesmente desaparecido do mapa, porque mesmo que fosse apenas o cadáver dela ela Eu ainda seria capaz de sentir aquele odor estranho e desagradável, mas agora que Jackie é uma vampira, seu cheiro mudou completamente,não de um jeito ruim, mas não é mais a mesma coisa e nossa pobre Shuana não tem ideia porque ela NÃO SABE que Jackie agora é uma vampira. Em relação à aparência de Jackie, ela permanece basicamente a mesma, os olhos do vampiro são algo que só aparecem realmente durante a alimentação, então não há preocupações em tentar escondê-los, quanto aos olhos dela...inicialmente, durante sua menstruação como recém-nascida, eles foram criados. eram de um vermelho carmesim profundo, mas depois de um tempo, quando ela começou a se alimentar de sangue de animais e aprendeu a se controlar, seus olhos adquiriram um tom âmbar vibrante, mas ela ainda precisa usar lentes de contato, quanto à pele. ela. trabalho em peles pretas e 2. o próprio filme nos mostrou que isso não é realmente uma regra, pois vimos vampiros indígenas não-brancos, cuja pele permaneceu em seu tom original;

Lottie Matthews---- I'll be brief about Lottie actually, I don't know if I have much to say... Her whole family is made up of vampires, but as the Twilight movie itself shows us, vampire children are a danger, uncontrollable and hated by other vampires, so I imagine Lottie's family being like Edward's family, for example, except the "step-siblings" part staying with each other, but more like a small group of vampires who were coming together and forming a family in their own way, This leads me to conclude that in this case Lottie would be adopted, probably on one of the luxurious trips...maybe to a big city like Vegas or something...Lottie was young, hungry and desperate, so she tried to steal a purse to get some money, turns out fate made her decide steal the purse of the beautiful woman who happened to be a vampire and they were even tempted to suck her blood as a tasty drink...but for some reason, something clicked inside them and what was supposed to become a tasty snack became a daughter (??). Lottie was a very well looked after and educated child, she also received all the necessary psychological support, but when she reached a certain age her parents decided to turn her into a vampire, hoping that somehow this could help her with schizophrenia, as many other people were cured of other things by being turned, unfortunately for them psychological conditions. are not included in this, but the transformation made her much more stable than she would be as a human, in fact the medicines no longer work ☹️, she has some delusions from time to time, but nothing that makes her dangerous to anyone or herself; Speaking of which, I see her ability being something like mind control, which would be a great irony of fate due to the fact that she often has no control over her own mind but is capable of controlling those of others, so she can create illusions in her mind. people's minds and make them susceptible to her wishes, as if she told someone to jump off a cliff and the person actually jumped. 😁 I also think that she has already fed on human blood, because her parents feed on human blood, but at some point she simply realized that she actually likes animal blood more, in fact, the main reason her parents are never at home is because , as I said, they feed on human blood, but the treaty with wolves prohibits vampires in the city from killing and feeding on humans, as well as transforming them, so her parents combine the need for food and the taste they have for expensive trips, also all the staff in Lottie's house are human and she likes them all very much and treats them like family too since they are the ones who spend most of their time with her ☺️ (Wow... this should be brief, but anyway lol)

Laura Lee---- Sorry to my Laura Lee lovers but our beautiful girl is not even a Werewolf and certainly not a Vampire, she is a beautiful human, in fact I think her family would abhor vampires, as demonic dark beings created by Satan to bring destruction to the world...that being said, I see Laura Lee's family as fervent believers and also one of the oldest and most respected families in the small town, also one of the few groups of humans who know about the existence of vampires, who just don't try to expose them because of an agreement that was sealed a long time ago by Laura's ancestors, this agreement prohibits Laura Lee's family from trying to expose them and guarantees them a certain protection, yet her family hates them and their parents They had always taught her never to trust a vampire. This Poor Baby Was So Terrified During Her Childhood That She's Scared To Death Of "Big, Bad" Vampires 😱😱, but that of course changes when she meets a beautiful vampire, Lottie Matthews...cough-cough gays...Anyway, I honestly see her pulling out a wooden cross and pointing it in Lottie's direction and when she prays in the name of God... and poor Lottie looks like: 🤨🤨❓️

Lottie: “I don’t want to drink your blood, I don’t eat trash😒🙄”

Laura Lee: "Phew... she doesn't eat garbage😊😊.... She doesn't eat garbage?🤨🧐😥"

In the end our beautiful girls become super friends, Lottie would love to throw Laura Lee over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes and take her for walks, as if Lottie would just take her to the most unusual places and once took Laura Lee to a dog house that is literally TWO towns away just because she could 🫠🤗 (also a possible relationship because it would be super cute)

Natalie Scatorccio---- NOW WE HAVE ARRIVED AT THE PART I WAS MOST ANXIOUS FOR!!!! I have a crush on her🫠🫠🫠. I was super excited to get to Natalie, because in my eyes she wouldn't be a werewolf or a vampire, just, she would be BOTH, I see her as being a hybrid of both species; now, listen, LISTEN because to me this makes perfect sense and not because of favoritism or anything like that, BUT I see how her mother being a werewolf and her father a vampire, their relationship has always been toxic since adolescence and completely repudiated by their respective families, until Natalie's mother got pregnant, her father hated the news and disowned her the moment he found out about it, he wanted Natalie's mother to find a way to take away this child, but she couldn't courage...and as I said, they were both extremely toxic for each other and even though he hated this baby, he also never left, as if the two were constantly coming and going, they weren't good for each other but They didn't end things either, and with the birth of baby Natalie and both having been disowned by their families, they ended up settling into this horrible, dysfunctional and totally toxic "family". That said, Natalie is a hybrid, just like Bella when she was pregnant with Renesmee, I think Natalie's mother suffered a lot during her pregnancy, she was afraid that her daughter would be an aberration, like a vampire child or something, but when Natalie was born she seemed...normal(??) she didn't present anything of either species, which was a shock since inside her belly she was literally sucking the life out of her mother little by little (her mother was only able to survive because she was a werewolf, since if she had been an ordinary human she would certainly have died), anyway, Natalie was a very healthy and normal little baby, unlike Renesmee, Natalie didn't have accelerated growth or anything like that, she grew up like an ordinary child and her vampire side only came to manifest itself together with her werewolf side during her 14 years of age; she never even showed antecedent symptoms or that showed that at some point she could transform, in fact her first transformation into a werewolf happened while she was high and the few and only symptoms she felt before that, she thought were because of drugs😭😭 poor baby really thought that the unbearable pain in each of his bones was because of the drugs lol, anyway she transformed while smoking in the forest, it was crazy, she knew about her own parents, but as far as she knew she was normal, so she was so scared when it happened, coupled with the fact that she was high it was even more intense, I think she walked a bit like a wolf and then slept near a tree😫, After that day her vampire side also blossomed, she didn't feel the desire for human blood as a newly created vampire, but she felt a LOT of animal blood desire, as if her two origins collided and generated this, as for her eyes, luckily the werewolf genes they were stronger in this case, causing no change in their color, another thing is that she can easily feed on both human food and hunting, she can hunt both as a wolf and as a vampire, but regardless of which form she takes. do that her snack is the same, some poor animal... in fact she doesn't have a vampire ability, since her wolf transformation is already equivalent to that☺️ In wolf form, she would have a beautiful and soft light coat, which mixes shades of white and cream, she also has blue eyes and she is so majestic, also thanks to her vampire genes she is much faster and more agile than a common werewolf would be.

In fact, Natalie's case is very complicated, the constant feeling of not fully belonging to either world made her prefer human company much more, it's also not like she could actively interact with other wolves or vampires, since she would be considered a mistake, an outcast, an abomination and several other horrible things, so she is basically a lonelier person in that sense, she also had to learn everything about being a vampire and a wolf on her own, as she never had her parents to teach her.

Misty Quigley---- Ahhhh our beautiful unbalanced baby Misty, she is definitely a werewolf, look at her...she is literally a puppy...that being said a wolf, from a large family of proud wolves, she would also have a beautiful cream coat, it would be so soft and I think it's even a little curly in some places, like near the paws, length of the tail and on the chest; Werewolf Misty would also be a great silly cub, she tries to fit in with the other young wolves, but she is so clumsy, like she has two left paws and every time the other youngsters let her participate in races or games she always finished her off. tripping over your own paws or a branch, falling and knocking someone down in the process😭😭😭 One time the poor thing was having so much fun and thinking she was doing really well and she really was, for the first time she was fitting in and everything with the others, until she tripped over a tree root during the run, she was a little further behind the others but the fall was so bad that she skidded and "ran over" two other young wolves with her own body, this was generally a "mass pile-up" since those she knocked over bumped into others, so they all ended up knocking them down each other, this ended with some sore limbs and filthy dirt and mud☹️ After that, no one allowed the baby to participate anymore and she became more excluded.

Taissa Turner and De Palmer---- Both would be wolves, a proud and powerful couple I would say, they also both had a imprinting and since then they have been inseparable, their families don't exactly support it, but they also can't do anything about it since imprinting is something almost sacred among wolves, even this kind of thing between wolves of the same sex is not something very common, not because It doesn't happen often, but because it's usually not very exposed (sorry, but I imagine the wolves being a bit sexist and homophobic). Speaking of their coat, I see Van as having a dark gray coat with a mixture of light gray and Taissa with a completely black coat, black as night, Tai would also be much larger than Van, this makes her physically more strong, but Van's size makes her more agile, they would also play a lot of fights while transformed, but they are not really aggressive, although I think that sometimes they can accidentally take the game a little seriously, that ends with Taissa whimpering like a puppy in the corner while Van lies down next to her, licking the back of her ears as an apology for biting Tai's tail.☹️☹️ (my poor babies)

Lost friend

Whumptober 2024, number 4: "You're still alive in my head."

Summary: In a timeline that is somewhere between Time’s and Twilight’s, the Chain’s leader follows a feeling. What he finds brings back a painful memory and the feeling of loss overwhelms him. When the Chain finds him, they do all they can to help him.

CW: Feelings of loss (hurt, sorrow, anger, etc.), hurt fairies (Hyrule and Navi), death of a fairy (Navi), cursing

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Time knew the era was somewhere between his and Twilight’s. Yet, without the memories or knowledge that he usually got from this kind of times, he believed there wasn’t a Hero around. It was far enough from his time for him to be gone but not close enough to Twilight’s for the boy to have even been born yet. And still, he knew perfectly well where they were.

The Chain’s leader still was quite shocked of how much different his era was compared to Twilight’s even though he knew there were generations and hundreds of years between them. Nonetheless, finding the ruins of the Temple of Time in middle of a growing forest wasn’t something he had been really ready to face. As he looked around, he felt like this wasn’t exactly in the same timeline as he and Twilight were. There were too much of differences to be one on one with what his Cub had told about his era.

The one eyed male had just barely been capable of letting the others know he’d be out of the camp for a while before he had already left. The others worried, of course, but he needed to be alone for a while. Something just had dragged his feet into here and he wasn’t certain why he had followed the feeling. At least, not until he had seen the ruins.

The roof of the church like place was gone. Most of the walls were crashed down. The floor had dents in them. The short steps to the pedestal where the Master Sword had been were half crumbled. The pedestal itself was in a small hole and cracked into two. Half of the glasses in the round room were shattered.

The oldest Link sighed heavily and sat down to the part of the stairs that still was intact. He raised his gaze up towards the glass he had last seen Navi against. “You’re still alive in my head.” He whispered sorrowfully while remembering the day he had lost his guiding fairy. Yet, he soon shuddered as he recalled the conversation he had had with Hyrule about fairies. It had started with nice little stories and such but where it lead wasn’t something he had wanted to hear.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

“And then they just created this gigantic bomb and blew up most of the monsters from the battlefield.” Time told in Fairy Language and chuckled at the memory. “That was quite a situation. Took everyone off guard. Especially Wars. I knew the fairies could do some really neat things but that…” He chuckled again and shook his head.

“How many times did that happen during the war?” Hyrule asked quite baffled while staring at Time wide-eyed.

Time shrugged and grinned. “Six times or so, maybe. I just enjoyed the show and the blast.” He answered and grinned.

Hyrule laughed and shook his head. “Damn. The fairies have done some cool things for me but nothing like that.” He mused fondly before stretching until bit flinching.

“You okay, Pixie?” The one eyed male straight off inquired while already gently starting to work with massage for the youngster.

“Even though that feels nice it’s not gonna aid me this time.” The Traveler replied while almost melting into the action.

“Oh? What would help?” The Chain’s leader inquired but he didn’t stop his work. Even if it wasn’t helping as he hoped, it still clearly was enjoyed of as the half-fairy started quietly to purr.

“Fixing my fairy form’s wing. I got it hurt last time I flew around.” Hyrule answered and sighed a bit. “Only the Great Fairies can help with that but there’s none of them around.”

“I think I can help.” Time mused with a fond grin. “Change forms. I’ll see what I can do.”

The youngster was bit uncertain but he transformed into his fairy form and sat down onto Time’s knee. He was bit worried but he soon blinked in surprise about how gentle and careful the older male’s actions were. The touches were delicate and just barely there.

“I can see the problem.” The one eyed male told while inspecting the wings. He carefully moved one of the two higher being wings to get better check on things. After that he let go and drew out some bandages. Yet, he ripped those into much, MUCH smaller pieces before starting to wrap the hurt wing into a piece of bandage strip which he also dipped into a pinkish purple salve that was closer to a potion than anything else.

“You should stay in your fairy form for couple of hours to let the salve work.” The Chain’s leader told while finishing the work. “The others won’t be around for three hour or so. They’re heading this way but they’re still far.” He assured while having full feeling of where the rest of his boys were at.

“Is that what I think it is?” Hyrule queried while glancing at the healing lotion of sorts. He could feel magic in it which was more of fairy’s than what normal potions held.

“It’s something Navi taught me.” The Old Man replied while putting things away. He sighed a bit sorrowfully at the confused and bit curious look on the Traveler’s face. “Navi was my first fairy companion. She…. She meant everything to me back then. Still does, really.” He started while turning his gaze away into the forest around them.

Time took once a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Navi saved me from the first Wolfos I crashed with. I hadn’t really realized the threat those wolf like creatures posed and she hadn’t had the time to warn me before the beast just appeared and attacked. She got between and was struck to the ground. I freaked out and just attacked the thing. She was okay but her wing was bent. I freaked out worse at that than at anything else. She taught me the Fairy Salve and how to treat fairy’s wounds.”

“Is she the one you and Malon are searching for?” Hyrule asked while having turned around to see his oldest brother. The one eyed male just nodded silently. “What happened?” He inquired bit confused.

The oldest Link sighed and shrugged. “I don’t know. After my quest was over she just flew away. Not even one word of goodbye or explanation. She just left.” He half mumbled and tried to gulp the forming lump down.

The half-fairy frowned in full confusion. “How long…?” He started without knowing how to form his question.

“From the beginning of my first quest to the end of it. We went through hell and back again together. I never thought she’d just…” Time trailed off and simply shook his head.

“Did she accompany you out of her own choice?” Hyrule inquired while bit fearing for the answer.

The Chain’s leader shrugged. “I don’t fully know. She was appointed to me by the Forest Guardian.” He replied while trying to stay intact. The Traveler gulped once and slumped slightly as he turned his gaze off. Time frowned in slight worry as he noticed the youngster’s reaction. “You know something….” He half whispered before unintentionally giving a pleading look to his boy. “Please, tell me. I need to know.”

Hyrule slumped even more and closed his eyes. He couldn’t change forms and he couldn’t fly so he was fully exposed to the begging look his leader gave him. “I don’t want to say…” He half whispered while trying not to cry.

Time didn’t need more of answer and he gulped once thickly while fighting against his own tears. “She’s gone. Like healing fairies after they’ve done their job.” He mumbled quietly while blinking repeatedly. Yet, he soon took a wavering deep breath and let it out equally shakily. After that he turned his sorrowful gaze into Hyrule. “Not your fault. It’s okay. It’s long ago.” He tried to assure before gently picking the boy up and with slight grin placed him on top of his head. “Navi, Tatl and Proxi all have loved to spend their time on top of my head. Dunno why though but thought I’d give you the same they’ve gained.” He told as an explanation and bit shrugged. “In a way, you’re my fourth travelling fairy partner.”

Hyrule had given a slight shriek of surprise when he had been picked up. He blushed slightly at where Time put him but he soon tad frowned. Yet, very soon that turned into a grin. “I know what they like in here.” He told almost mischievously while making a little nest for himself out of the golden hair of his leader.

“Oh? And what’s that?” The one eyed male queried while having missed the messing of his hair by small hands of a fairy.

“Your hair’s so very soft.” The half-fairy told and Time blushed brightly. Hyrule laughed when his oldest brother facepalmed and whined.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The knowledge of Navi’s death hadn’t fully registered back then but now, in here, Time finally fully understood to have lost her at that day when he had returned the Master Sword to its rightful place for last time. He had tried to deny it. He had tried to believe that Navi had chosen to be with him instead of having been commanded. He hadn’t wanted to think that she had left so he wouldn’t see her die. Plus, he had had Hyrule to comfort. There just wasn’t time or chance to deal with his own feelings when one of his boys was feeling down.

The one eyed male hang his head while wrapping his arms around himself. He slumped forward while pulling his legs against his chest. He was alone and so he let himself break down as no-one would see him like this. The Chain needed a strong leader and not the mess of emotions he was at the moment. “I miss you, Navi.” He mumbled with broken voice in Fairy Language. “Why didn’t you tell me?” He asked even though he knew he’d never get the answer.

The memories of their shared life came crashing into the Chain’s leader’s mind. He didn’t try to stop them but he wasn’t getting any comfort from them either. He pulled his arms free and just dug his hands into his hair while crying and trembling. He wanted to scream but he didn’t want to alert and worry the boys any of more than what they already were. And yet, when things started to be too much to bear, he just faced the stained glass against which he had last seen Navi and screamed his agony out.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Navi watching over him while he was sick. Navi telling jokes to lift his mood. Navi fluttering all around the Lizalfos to give him a chance to strike. Navi braiding his hair and singing softly. Navi being fuming mad at him when he first threw in a curse word. Navi shrieking and holding on to the tip of his cap as he jumped down from the bridge leading to Gerudo Valley so he could reach the platform close to the far below being water’s surface. Navi barking down some random kid at the Market City for having been mean to him. Navi flying on full speed into King Dodongo’s eye to blind the beast for a moment and give him a chance to get off the way. Navi teaching him about fairies, nature and monsters. Navi enjoying the smoked pike he had managed to catch and cook just right for her. Navi waking him up from a nightmare and soothing his panicked mind.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Time’s ear twitched at the whistled call but it didn’t really register in his head. He was slumped over his knees with his hands tightly gripping his hair. He was crying and trembling while the pain of loss was tightly around his chest. He barely could breathe let alone understand his own surroundings.

Suddenly the Chain’s leader jerked in shock and swiftly stood up while drawing out his Gilded Sword. He turned around in a flash as he had heard running steps approaching him but his mind clouded by the pain of loss wasn’t capable of recognizing them. All he could do was to try and defend himself.

“TIME!”

“WHOA! EASY! JUST US!”

The one eyed male gasped in shock and stumbled a step backwards before giving out a startled scream as his foot failed to find solid ground. “TIME!” The eight boys screamed out and dashed over to their oldest brother whom had quite ungracefully fallen to his back. “You okay, Old Man?” Legend queried as Time groaned and sat up.

The oldest Link sighed almost exaggerated while trying to dry his tears out of sight as quickly as possible. “I would love to say that yeah, I’m fine, never better, but that would be a fucking daylight bright lie now, wouldn’t it.” He partly grumbled and gave bit of a lopsided smirk.

“Yeah, well, I was meaning more of possible broken bones than hurt feelings.” Legend replied with a slight deadpan look.

“Oh, you think I’m that old to snap a bone by falling?” Time countered while letting his smirk turn into bit of mischievous grin.

“No! I just—!” The Veteran snapped bit startled. Yet, he soon huffed tad indignantly as the one eyed male chuckled slightly.

“Yeah, yeah, I know. Bad fall can break anyone’s bones.” The Chain’s leader said airily while waving his hand dismissively.

“Sprite…” Warriors called worriedly as Time stood up and the eight Links with him followed his action.

“Physically I’m fine, Wars, but mentally…” The war Hero’s younger brother started and sighed heavily. “Not so sure.” He replied sorrowfully and moved back to sit on the stairs. The Chain around him crouched down while watching him worriedly. With the immediate threat off, the Links looked around a bit without leaving from their place.

“This place seems familiar…” Twilight half whispered while recalling the place where he had drawn the Master Sword.

“Is that… A pedestal for a sword?” Sky asked while crouching down at the edge of the hole where the broken piece of square rock had fallen into.

Time sighed heavily and leaned his elbows at his knees while hanging his head and digging his fingers into his hair again. “We’re at the Temple of Time… Or what’s left of it, at least.”

“Yours?” Legend queried with an eyebrow raised and a grin on his lips.

The one eyed male chuckled and shook his head. “Oh, you wish.” He replied with equally teasing voice. Yet, he soon sighed and slumped again. “No, it was named as such long before I was even born.” He told and shrugged a bit while letting his hands fall as he took a look around. “This is where I drew the Master Sword.” He confessed quietly and pointed behind him into the small pit. “That’s where it should be. Don’t know why it’s not there or where it’s gone to. Hopefully somewhere safe, though.”

The Chain was bit startled about the reply and they gulped once at the thought of the sacred blade being missing. “Considering how you feel about the Master Sword, you’re not here for her.” Sky observed and time sighed heavily.

“No, I’m not here because of the sword.” The Old Man confirmed and raised his gaze back up into the stained glass. “I’m here because of different girl.”

The eight Links frowned and glanced at each other. “Who?” Wind inquired while feeling tad excited about hearing a story but also so very bad for hoping for such when his oldest brother was clearly not in the best of condition.

“Should we actually let you be?” Sky inquired instead while crouching down. He was looking sorrowfully concerned at his leader.

“What’s the point of leaving? You already saw me at my worst.” Time half grumbled while dropping his gaze down and hitting his ears back. He was feeling both ashamed and bit angry at himself for having allowed this come forth.

“Sprite…” The Captain called gently and reached out towards the one eyed male. Yet, he stopped and pulled away when his little brother flinched and bit recoiled away from the touch.

The Chain’s leader slumped again while letting his ears droop. “Sorry…” He mumbled quietly while wrapping his arms around his feet and rested his head on his knees. His gaze was in the dusty and cracked floor of the Temple of Time. The Links felt uncertain and bit fearful of trying to touch their brother as they were out of knowing how to help.

Time closed his eye and allowed himself slowly to break down all over again. He bit hid his face into one hand while trying to stay silent. He hated to let his boys see him like this. He felt like needing someone to hold him but he also knew he’d flinch away from it too. All he could do was to be alone with his sorrow and hurt.

Hyrule carefully placed his hand on his oldest brother’s should. He too flinched a bit when the one eyed male flinched roughly underneath his hold. Yet, the half-fairy didn’t pull away which only caused the older male to break down harder while still trying to stay silent. Carefully and slowly the Traveler pulled the Chain’s leader into an embrace.

Time didn’t think as he pulled out of his current way of being and turned towards the youngster. He pulled the Chain’s occasional healer into a tight embrace while hiding his face into the crook of the boy’s neck and shoulder as he shattered to pieces. Hyrule tightened his hold and gave a slight smile to his brothers as they turned his embrace into a group hug. The oldest Link barely even felt it as he was crying his broken heart out.

It took a while but eventually the one eyed male slowly calmed down. He weakly dried the tears while staring at the floor behind Hyrule’s back. He partly leaned his full weight on him while partly being supported by the others so he wouldn’t fully crush the teenager. He knew he should’ve moved off from being as he was but he didn’t have the strength for such simple action.

The Old Man gulped once. “Navi.” He whispered while just barely getting the word through his tight throat. “I’m here because of Navi.” He told and closed his eye while slumping. “She was my first guidance fairy. One of my best childhood friends. We went through hell and back again so many times. I don’t think I’d be alive without her.” He started and just let the words come out now that he had started to talk.

“Navi’s gone. She died in here. Like the healing fairies, she finished her task and… Vanished. She just left me. No words. No explanations. She just flew away.” Time told while feeling his breathing get shaky again. He tried not to break down but he couldn’t help it.

“Why!? Why didn’t she tell me?!” The Chain’s leader barked out and startled the boys. “I would’ve fucking understood! All these years! I’ve been searching and asking and—!” He growled while trying to fist his hands but fighting against the action so he wouldn’t hurt Hyrule. “I searched for her and ended up into fucking Termina and three day time loop! I searched for her and ended up into freaking warzone!” He ran his hand through his hair and gripped it tightly while even bit pulling on it.

“Sprite…” Warriors called as gently as he could while not liking of his little brother’s action at all. Yet, he knew that pull had to hurt. “Please.” He half begged and bit relaxed as Time’s hold loosened and he let his hand fall to his lap.

The Old Man slumped and just stared almost blankly at the floor. He closed his eye and whimpered when the Captain gently started to run his fingers through his brother’s hair. The tears he had thought to have already run out of just kept coming. He trembled a bit while feeling his heart ache harder than ever before.

“I wish I knew the answers, Sprite. I wish any of us had the answers.” The war Hero whispered sorrowfully. “All I can say, little brother, is that I’m sorry. I’m sorry this happened to you. I’m sorry that you lost your close friend. I’m sorry that there are no answers to give.”

Twilight partly thought about turning into Wolfie but he chose against it. Right now it felt like Time was needing them as Hylians instead of anything else. “We’re here, Time.” He started as calmly as he could while feeling his heart break at the pain his mentor was in. Navi clearly had meant the world to the one eyed male. Yet, he could understand it as he thought back to all he himself had gone through on his quest. It always meant more than one could understand when one had some form of company with them to share the hell and nightmares with someone.

“We swear that none of us will leave you without a word.” Four swore firmly.

“As long as we’re capable and allowed, you can count on us to stay by you.” Sky spoke softly but with full certainty in his voice.

“We love you, Time.” Wind told from full heart while wishing his words would be of some consolation to his oldest brother.

“I’m grateful that she was with you. Without her we wouldn’t have you. And I’m more than happy to have you with us on this quest.” Legend’s voice was surprisingly soft and loving.

“I know how loss feels. But, through all the rough feelings, I hope you can remember that she wishes you to live on. To remember the good things and know she was happy to have shared the journey with you.” Wild’s words came out from full experience with slight feeling of hurt of his own as he still tried to fully accept how things had gone with his friends. There were times he wished the Champions had actually fought beside him instead of having used those Divine Beasts. Maybe things would’ve gone differently at then. Yet, things had gone as they had and he just had to accept that eventually.

“Never forget her. She will always live in your heart and memories.” Hyrule whispered quietly in Fairy Language.

The Chain kept whispering reassurances and small truths while hoping the words would really get through their oldest brother. The Traveler bit gasped when he felt to be supporting even more of Time’s weight than before. “I think he fell asleep.” Wild commented softly.

“Not surprised. The feeling of loss is overwhelming.” Warriors replied quietly and carefully moved his little brother to lean on him instead of the half-fairy. After that he carefully picked him into his arms while carefully standing up. “We’d better get back to the camp.��� He half suggested while noticing the Champion carefully taking the Gilded Sword into safekeeping into his Slate. After all, they weren’t up for risking of Time waking up at the sound of a sword being sheathed.

The road back to the camp was made in silence. Twilight swiftly moved his and Warriors’ bedrolls next to Time, one to both sides, before the war Hero carefully laid down to there. He didn’t let go of his little brother while doing his best to let him keep resting. The Rancher changed forms and curled up next to his mentor to let him feel his soft fur in hopes of it comforting him.

Hyrule thought for a moment before he recalled a conversation he had had with Time regarding Navi. They had talked every now and then about the fairies that had accompanied the one eyed male. He quickly shared his idea with Wild and the master archer was more than willing to go with the food suggestion.

Sky strummed his harp for soft and comforting notes. He didn’t really go for any known song but before he really understood, the music had gained something that worked well with forests. Legend listened for a while before he pulled out an Ocarina and accompanied the calm music.

Wind and Four shared a book and quietly read together. Neither wanted to be too loud at the moment so that they wouldn’t bother Time’s sleeping. They just wished they could’ve actually done something to help until the Smithy came up with an idea. He nudged the Sailor along and, with the rights from both Warriors and Twilight, they very carefully braided their oldest brother’s hair. The action seemed to calm the one eyed male a bit more which was a huge relief for the duo handling the task.

It took few hours before the Chain’s leader finally woke up. He sighed bit heavily while feeling drained and empty. Yet, he was grateful of the care and love the eight boys with him had shown already back at the ruined Temple of Time as well as after having carried him back to the camp. He picked up on the sounds of the music. Noticed the gigantic wolf and Warriors on opposite side. Felt the couple of braids on his bangs. Heard the starting of cooking.

“How are you feeling, Sprite?” The Captain queried while letting the one eyed male sit up. His little brother sighed a bit and just shrugged. “We’re here for you, little brother. No matter what, no matter when, no matter how, we’re right by you through thick and thin.” He promised while sitting up too. Wolfie carefully shifted forms after Time had stopped petting him.

“How are everyone?” The oldest Hero queried quietly.

“Worried about you.” The Rancher replied before, without thinking, hugged Time. “We just want to help you as you help us.” He whispered while bit calming down as his mentor returned the hold.

“I probably should talk with everyone.” The one eyed male half whispered after pulling off from the hold.

“Only if you feel like talking. No-one’s going to force you.” Warriors reminded calmly while following the Chain’s leader’s actions. He and Twilight were ready to support him if he was shaky on his steps. The Chain by the fire quickly made room for the trio when they came over.

Time sighed heavily while feeling tad uncertain of the situation. Yet, he felt like he deserved his boys an explanation. He took once a deep breath and let it out slowly to calm down enough so he could actually talk. “First of all… I heard the whistle but it didn’t really register in my mind. Sorry about that.” He started and gave a slight smile as the others just tried to dismiss the whole situation. “Second…” He began but trailed off nearly instantly.

The one eyed male dropped his gaze into the fire while frowning. He knew what he wanted to say and apologize for but at the same time he realized something almost startling. Eventually that got him to chuckle slightly and shake his head. “Shit… That’s going to make a hypocrite.” He half mumbled and leaned his elbow against his knee while resting his chin at his hand for a moment. Eventually he snorted softly and shook his head again while sitting up straighter.

“You know… I was going to apologize for lot of things but I realized it would start one hell of a shit-storm and making myself a hypocrite on full. So, instead…” The Chain’s leader started, sighed a bit and let himself relax slightly. He looked at the eight Links with him fondly one at a time. “Thank you.” He finally said.

The Chain was bit surprised of those two simple words. They had been ready to try and get their leader to understand how much he means to them. And yet, with these two words, it was clear that there was something that had finally gotten through their oldest brother. He accepted the fact that he was as much cared by them as they were cared by him.

“Thank you for having come for me. Thank you for having stayed with me. Thank you for having not asked too hard questions. Thank you for the hugs. Thank you for your words. Thank you….” Time started and bit struggled to get the words out. “Thank you for your love and caring. Thank you for your brotherhood. Thank you for having accepted me.” He told while trying to blink the tears away. “I love you all.”

That was all it needed for the six to scramble over to hug their oldest brother as Twilight and Warriors already were right by him. “I love you too.” Were the four words each of them whispered while holding on tight while feeling like their chain of nine Heroes finally was fully connected to one another. There weren’t any weak lines anymore and the eight Links could feel their beloved leader relax in their hold.

After a while the scent of the food reached the nine Heroes. “Is that smoked fish?” Time queried with a slight frown.

“Actually, it’s smoked pike but yeah, it is.” Wild replied while unwillingly pulled off from the group hug to check on the food. “Hyrule told that you had told to him that it was Navi’s favorite so I and he thought that, well….” He started but he soon began to trail off while beginning to feel nervous and bit like he had made a wrong choice with the food in the end.

“I think that’s exactly what I’m needing right now.” The oldest Link said with bit sorrowful smile. “And I think I could actually tell about my the quest I shared with her. My first quest, to be exact.” He continued while still feeling the pain of missing her but it wasn’t as rough as before. The eight with him would help him to get through this. And eventually, somewhere in the future, he could finally actually think about her with a smile and without the hurt. Yet, right now this was the best he could get and he’d enjoy of it with the brothers that would be there to help him pick the broken pieces and aid him to heal.

Time shared far more than he had thought to dare to. Funny and painful, calm and stormy, everything and anything that just popped into his mind. The boys with him stayed close and leaned against him whenever he talked about some harder situation to show their support and care. They laughed with him and asked question about some situation that were easier to share. They were right by him and helped him to reminisce and heal. And on that night, as well as for few nights from there, the Chain curled up on him for the Hero Pile of Support and Comfort to show they were right there by him through thick and thin.

Any idea when the next “A Guide To Endings” update will be? No pressure and no rush; I just want to know when to sort of expect it :>

(Also if you don’t think you’re gonna keep updating it that’s cool too! I loved “A Guide To Living (Again)” so much and I’m so happy we get to see any epilogues at all.)

😰 oh god I totally forgot about that.

Uhhhhh honestly I can’t promise I’ll put anything out there. I really do want to, but my brain dies every time I do much as think about opening that document. Tbh I think once I got the “important” ones (being Abyss and Dark) published, my drive to write for it checked out entirely.

I do have plans for the others, though. I’ll put them below for those who do want to know.

Ok so. As with the other epilogues, obviously, death warning. This entire thing is about dying, albeit usually dying happily…….. I am carefully not looking at Time and Dark as I say that.

Midnight: You were raised by wolves and voices

Midnight goes on a roadtrip with Twilight, bonding and bickering in equal measure, with Midnight bitching the whole time about it even though he’s the one who wanted this roadtrip in the first time place.

They get to the arbiter’s grounds, at which point, they have a nasty argument over Midna. Midnight remembers Midna vividly, and he disagrees with her actions and thinks of her as a hypocrite and a liar. Twilight, naturally, does not like this.

Midnight storms off and wanders on his own for a while. He meets the Hero’s Shade in the woods and learns of Dark’s fate and realizes that, despite the whole thing about lone wolves, the idea of being alone is terrifying. So he goes back and finds where his light has gotten to.

Twilight has refounded the ranch in Hyrule Field, and he accepts Midnight back into his life, and Midnight shows vulnerability in return.

Legends say that even long after Twilight passed, a wolf might be spotted roaming the fields, both as a terrifying specter and a guardian of travelers and children.

Secret: What you see is not the dark, it’s the just gods upturning inkpots

Secret moves in with Legend and Ravio and falls into a rhythm with them. They end up doing TFH together, and it’s a chaotic mess. This is a good chunk of the chapter

Something occurs to Secret in a dream, and he brings it up to Legend. They follow the dream memory and go to the Palace of the Four Sword. Cue a repeat of my other fic Fuck It, Refounds Your Family but with both Four and Shadow being recovered

They got stuck in there by accident. I would have come up with a much more reasonable series of events leading up to it if I actually wrote it

Secret realizes this era is home :)

Shadow goes with Four when he passes, but Secret decides to stick around a bit longer after Legend and Ravio pass. From the shadows, he watches the collapse of Hyrule. He narrowly escapes the wrath of Aurora’s brother, and as time passes, he realizes that sometimes, disguising himself as a monster makes things easier. And then, one day, a kid stumbles into his cave and startles him. Surprise, he’s Secret The Moblin, and that kid is Hyrule

He decides to wait to see Gloam again

Gloam: the dark things that wait

Hyrule and Gloam get along surprisingly well. Hyrule usually prefers to adventure alone, but he got used to company during LU, and Gloam is pretty quiet anyway, so they vibe. Hyrule explains everything to his Zeldas.

They leave the castle sometimes to help the people of Hyrule, meaning that Hyrule helps while Gloam hovers behind him. At some point, Secret shows up and accidentally jumpscares them, but he then joins the party. He has been touchstarved for a while

Secret’s personality is quite different by now, much closer to Legend and Ravio, and his “I want to let you learn it for yourself” attitude about the world adding to the dynamic makes the traveling funny at times

Interlude: I’ll stand here with you

Least developed chapter, thrown into my notes after the original note draft

Basically, it happens during the timeline merge. Secret got a princess to unweave him at some point, peaceful and content with his life. Gloam has been left behind then, and with the triforce sealed away again after so long, he no longer really has a job to fulfill. He wastes his time watching nature now, and one night as he’s stargazing, a certain mask salesman stops by and has an unnerving conversation before handing off a mask that Gloam finds too familiar

Abyss manages to speak with Gloam from inside the mask. They both really miss everyone. They get to confide that they had fun while it lasted, that they learned to love, and now, it’s just them. If any of the others are still around, they wouldn’t know.

They come to an agreement. They talk through the night, and when dawn comes, as the sun rises, all soft and sweet, Gloam destroys the mask, and the power backlash annihilates them both.

Civil: Tomorrow I’ll be brave

So, Civil learns that Wild is a fucking liar and won’t kill him yet. And no, Flora is still faultless in his eyes, so it’s definitely Wild’s fault.

They deny him immediate unweaving because they want to give him a last meal and take him wherever he wants to go. They’ve got a couple weeks until the next full moon anyway, so they’ve got time to spare.

They end up going on a little trip to find somewhere pretty to die.

It’s awfully sweet, and if Civil were an emotional person, he might have cried. He takes their kindness to heart, and one sunset, when he is content, Flora unweaves him. It is a gentle, painless death, and it would be the only unweaving I’d write in detail.

At some point, I wanted Civil to tell Flora “I love you. I do not know the nature of this love, but I know it is written into my very being. All I have ever been has been for you. I failed you, and for that, I’m sorry.” It’s the most she will ever hear from the hylian champion of the past

Ooh I love this concept, can tell me I guess some differences between the journey you thought out so far?

Most of my focus so far has been on the differences in their previous adventures and how it might affect their interactions with each other, rather than any specific plot points on the journey itself. I do have some ideas, though!

First: the meeting. All the links are tossed through a portal all of a sudden and end up in an unfamiliar era with each other. Some handle it better than others.

Wind has seen enough portals in his life to know how this usually goes. Yup, another adventure. He’d been expecting it, since his last adventure had just ended.

Hyrule takes it very well too, especially once he sees Sky and Time. He recognizes them both from a few years prior. For him, anyway. The war across ages was almost 20 years ago for Time, and a mere 3 months for Sky. Poor Sky was just settling down from the war and was in the middle of a much needed nap when the portal yoinked him.

Twilight had a moment of panic when he couldn’t find Midna, but soon she’s back to resting in her spot on his shoulders and he can focus on the situation at hand.

Warriors is cautious and staying back, letting the other links interact with one another first before he joins. He’s used to danger, and doesn’t trust the others at first.

Wild panicked right away, since he couldn’t feel his loftwing anywhere. They’re soul bound, so he knows full well that his loftwing isn’t anywhere near them. His loftwing was his guide since the day he lost his memories, so having that comforting presence taken from him isn’t something he handles well.

The one who takes it the worst is Legend. His adventure took him through many different dimensions (all of which had been put in danger through Zant’s attempt to conquer the Twilight Realm), and his experience with portals is not good at all. He’s quick to lash out at the others, grief stricken and fearing that he’s lost everything all over again.

Beyond the first meeting, there are a few distinct plot points!

The first revolves around Wind. Being the youngest but having the most experience is a tricky thing. Wind is used to people underestimating him. It happens time and time again; every new adventure comes with a new set of people asking him if he’s too young for this. Having his fellow heroes go out of their way to protect him irks him when normally it doesn’t.

Another scene is meeting Marin. By the time this happens, they’ve passed through a few eras that the others recognize, and Legend has stopped showing so much animosity towards the others now that he knows he’ll be able to return home. Legend likes to be a bit mysterious, and hasn’t revealed much about his girlfriend, but he has dropped some hints about her. They arrive at Legend’s place, and he leaps into the pond next to his house. Before he can hit the water, a very large mermaid snatched him out of the air and drags him under (much to everyone’s alarm). He surfaces a moment later, telling them to stop gawking and put their stuff inside, he’ll join them in a minute. Legend doesn’t surface for another half hour, but when he does emerge from the pond, he introduces everyone to Marin! Immediately everyone is teasing him. He’s very easy to get a rise out of.

There’s plenty of other little scenes, but that’s all I have for now.

(Have a pic of Marin and Legend in his mermaid form, taking place sometime during his adventure)

This weeks news, more of my little Sheikah Monk Kohga AU! We're talking about a couple other characters!

First off, Impa and Purah! They're still the same, except for one thing: Kohga basically raised them. He picked them up somewhere when they were really little, and basically just said "you're mine now" and brought them to Kakariko. They grow up, Impa becomes the Sheikah Chieftain, Purah goes into her science experiments still. There is exactly one difference to their appearance. The ends of their hair are stained black, as per a certain uniform regulations from when they were just little tiny gremlins attacking people's shins with sickles :)

They grew their hair out eventually, obviously. Impa cut hers off, but Purah kept the dyed black ends for certain reasons. So when Link meets Purah as her small child self, yeah, her hair is pretty much mostly dyed black because that's just how her hair was at that age.

Now, moving on. Sort of. ANYWAY.

Master Ordona has a second in command. Technically also a canon character to the series, but they just don't exist in the BOTW/TOTK era. But they're one of my favorites so I say they appear in the current era now. Taller than Link, but still easily the shortest person in the Yiga Clan by far. ((Assuming Link is 5'2"/footsoldiers are 5'9" or so/blademasters are around a solid 7 feet tall) yes I did math for those heights, Link was the measuring stick)

They're a very behind the scenes sort of fellow, and since I'm going with a more Twilight Princess inspiration for this AU, I'm gonna say this version of the character is much more in tune with the Twili side of things. Mainly that the sunlight sort of hurts them if they're not careful about sticking to the shade or other dark places or staying covered up. They're perfectly fine during sunrise or sunset though, so long as it's not too bright. It's just a sort of condition that pops up every couple of generations randomly (occasionally a parent and child can both have it at the same time, but its uncommon enough to be of note) but it comes with some nifty benefits. Ironically, to stun opponents, they throw down a little something that creates a giant flash of light and then just leaves.

Not important, but they're very much musically inclined. Like, scarily so. Borderline magically musically inclined. Perhaps it's a past life thing.

Why are they second in command? Because Master Ordona likes knowing things, and this guy just always seems to be lurking and listening just out of sight wherever they happen to be needed most.

Also mostly sentimental reasons. "Keep your friends close and your maybe/maybe not kid who's siblings got picked up/raised by the enemy closer" and all that. Who knows. All anyone knows is that the second in command is incredibly young to be in their position, but that apparently runs in the family.
