Linked Universe/LoZ Bad Things Happen Bingo

Hey guys! So. I have a bad things happen bingo card, and a shortage of ideas. Here's the card, and feel free to request a prompt for any Linked Universe character (Or a LoZ character, though it depends) for me to write!

If possible, it might be easier for me if you send the requests to my writing account, @rrain-writes. Otherwise my main blog is fine I guess.

Oh yeah, If you want to check what's already been done look underneath! Thanks guys! :D

(If you have a burning desire for a completed prompt, feel free to ask but I will want more context!)

Master Post!

ALREADY DONE:

Dehumanization

Shaking and Shivering

Captivity

Misaimed blame

Magical Curse

Ooh how about “Was too hard on them” with Warriors?

The "them" Warriors is being too hard on is, in fact, Warriors himself. This man needs therapy

This prompt fill turned out to be pretty light on the whump. I was going to add a part about Warriors having a leg injury on top of being exhausted, but I decided to go easy on him lol

~~~

Warriors had been homesick lately. 

When Zelda had called him to her private study and asked him to investigate the strange portals popping up around Hyrule, he’d agreed without hesitation. At the time, he had feared lingering magic from Cia had infected the land and was drawing more monsters from across time and space to this era.

He hadn’t expected the portals to have a different, much darker master. He hadn't expected a portal to drag him in with no warning and snap shut behind him with no chance of return. He hadn't expected to be gone for months with no way to contact his family or the Queen.

He hadn’t known it then, but when he'd been spat out of the portal and into a goat pen with a certain rancher leaning over him, it had been the start of a months-long quest. A months-long quest without a glimpse of his home, his friends, his family. 

Goddess, what he wouldn’t give for a hug from his father or an affectionate hair ruffle from his sister. (Not that he would ever, ever voice that thought aloud, but... still.)

Now that he thought about it, they all probably thought he was dead. He wondered if they’d held a funeral for him, or if they were still holding out hope that he was alive somewhere.

Probably not.

It had been months since he last saw them. Almost half a year. 

He had to admit, he’d been hoping for a break lately. A break that took them to his era, preferably. At this point, the group of heroes had visited everyone’s home era except for his. He was getting sick of entering a new portal and getting his hopes up, only to not recognize the new area the group was dumped in.

Warriors was sure he'd been able to disguise just how tired he'd been lately. Some of the other heroes were catching on, but he thought he was hiding his near-permanent exhaustion pretty well. 

All he needed was some time to relax. Truly relax. 

He wanted good food without having to worry about where to forage or hunt that day. He wanted to sleep without having to set up a watch schedule or pay for rooms in an inn. He wanted to take a bath, for Hylia’s sake, and not have to do it in a freezing cold river.

Of course, the burden of leadership did not only fall to Warriors. For once, he wasn’t the one giving the orders. That was mostly Time’s responsibility. But Warriors was more than used to commanding his men, and he did his best to make sure Time didn’t push himself too far. 

But being dumped into an active war zone was not what Warriors had meant when he’d prayed for the next portal to bring him to his era. 

They were technically in his Hyrule, yes, but not somewhere he’d ever been before, and definitely not anywhere he could relax. 

The latest portal had dumped them in front of an old fortress that was located on the far outskirts of Hyrule. The fortress had been abandoned long before Warriors had been born and it had stayed that way, even throughout the war. It was too far away from Castle Town for either side of the war to see much of an advantage in occupying it. There’d been no need for him to ever go there before.

But now, it appeared that a small contingency of monsters had taken up residency in the fort. The citizens from a nearby village had sent an entreaty to the Queen for intervention, and Zelda had obliged, sending a troop to clear it out.

Warriors had quickly been recognized by the soldiers guarding the front gate, and the heroes were led inside with general excitement from the soldiers.

Apparently, he hadn’t been officially declared dead yet, but the general consensus in the army was that he’d been killed in action. These soldiers seemed pleased that it wasn’t true. They especially seemed pleased that he showed up with reinforcements.

The villagers had evidently underestimated the number of monsters in the fort- a small army was probably the best description- and Zelda hadn’t sent enough soldiers for them to easily be able to take the fort.

These weren't the soldiers that Warriors had led during the war, but he knew the captain that led them and knew her to be a loyal soldier to Hyrule. He had no worries that the soldiers under her command would turn traitor, so that was one less thing for him to worry about.

But there was still too much to worry about for him to relax.

~~~

Warriors sighed, staring at the map in front of him. It was a carefully hand-drawn rendition of the fortress. Someone had taken great care to map out all the rooms, marking all the rooms being used as bases and outposts. 

The open-air courtyard at the front of the fortress was currently being used as the base for the allied forces of Hyrule. Thankfully, it was summer, and the weather was clear. There was no need to set up tents. Each entrance was carefully guarded at all times. Bedrolls for all the soldiers lined the walls. One corner was partitioned off and set up with cots, being converted into a small med bay. The heroes had commandeered another corner to set up their own bedrolls. In the third corner stood the makeshift command center, which consisted solely of a table, chairs, and the map Warriors was pouring over. 

The courtyard was as safe as anywhere in the fortress possibly could be, but Warriors had instructed the other heroes to continue setting up a watch every night. That had silently sent the intended message: they weren’t safe here.

Warriors doubted that the monsters would launch a full frontal attack on the allied base, and even if they did, they would have plenty of forewarning. But carelessness killed. The other heroes could deal with continuing to lose a little bit of sleep.

Warriors turned his attention back to the map in front of him. Unsurprisingly, it hadn’t changed since he took his eyes off it. He sighed, leaning heavily on the table. 

The Hyrulian forces currently only occupied the allied base and two of the surrounding outposts. They simply didn’t have the manpower to spread themselves out any further. 

They only had two options. Either send a messenger to Zelda asking for reinforcements and hunker down until they arrive, or try to take the whole fortress in one big push. 

The messenger had already been sent. With them, they carried both a request for backup and hastily penned letters from Warriors for both his family and the Queen. But those letters would take a week to reach Castle Town even with the messenger running on little sleep and pushing their horse as hard as they dared. It would take another week and a half for reinforcements to arrive. 

Warriors and the other heroes couldn't afford to wait for two and a half weeks. They were on their own mission. Then there was the fact that the soldiers hadn’t brought enough food for a siege. They wouldn’t be able to get enough food from the small village nearby. Warriors also doubted the monsters would just wait around for the reinforcements to arrive.

That really left them with no choice. They would have to fight without backup. Warriors had hoped it wouldn’t come to that. It was bad enough that the other heroes had to endure being in an active warzone. Leading them into battle in this way was something Warriors had never wished for. 

But it seemed inevitable now.

All of this required a lot of planning and strategizing. It had only been a day and a half since they arrived, but Warriors hadn’t slept since. 

“Warriors.” The voice from behind him made him startle. He knew before turning around it was one of the other heroes. Everyone else here would have called him Captain Link.

He turned around in his chair to find Time standing behind him, and frowning at him. He must really be tired if he hadn’t even heard the armor-clad hero approach. Warriors stared back unflinchingly, even as he internally quelled under the pressure of Time’s disappointed glare. 

“Don’t you think you could use some sleep?” It was phrased like a question, but Time’s voice was firm.

Warriors groaned. “Time, I'm very busy right now-” 

Time cut him off, not taking any excuses. “Even the other captain is resting. It's thirteen minutes to midnight. Go to bed.” Warriors blinked and finally registered how dark it was. The only thing lighting up the map was the flickering candles set on the table, and the one Time held in his hands.

Warriors rubbed the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath. It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea. He had been feeling a bit light-headed, and he probably could really use a nap. He wouldn't be of any use in a fight if he was exhausted. 

That, and he doubted that Time would give up until he got his way and Warriors slept.

“A quick nap,” He agreed. 

His body must have also agreed. When Warriors stood, perhaps a bit too quickly, he could feel his blood drain into his legs that had fallen asleep after sitting for hours.

For a split second, he teetered unsteadily on his feet, fighting to stay upright and not collapse., He swayed, his head pounding as he reached out blindly for something to steady him. That split second was all Time needed to place a guiding hand on his back. The old man’s stern face had melted away, replaced with a worried one.

“I’m fine.” Warriors protested the unspoken concern, righting himself with the help of Time’s hand.

“Of course you are.” Time agreed, starting to steer Warriors towards the corner where the heroes had set up camp, but somehow it didn’t feel like Warriors had won that argument.  

He couldn’t say he was complaining though, as Time guided him to one of the two empty bedrolls in the heroes’ camp. 

It didn‘t escape his notice that Time had laid him down right next to Sky, who was a notorious cuddler and even more notoriously hard to wake up. Warriors doubted he’d be allowed to get up anytime soon. As Warriors drifted off to sleep, he couldn't say he minded.

~~~

Warrior: I am normal and functioning 👍

Time: Nice to meet you, “Normal and Functioning.” Have you met my other son, “Sleepy And Prone to Cudlding?”

My Metal Saviour

Peter's breathing was laboured as he ran, sparks flying out of his suit around him as he tried to find a place to hide so he could catch a breath. His efforts didn't seem to matter as the super powered man behind him refused to relent, staying on his heels no matter how many webs were flung back at him.

As his speed dwindled and his hope vanished with it, Peter was almost ready to give up, to stop right there in his tracks and admit defeat. And he almost did, stumbling to his knees as his legs failed beneath him. 

"I've got you, kid," A voice cackled through the air around him as two heavy hands were placed around him, hauling him up to where he was tucked into a suit of armour. "I'll keep you safe," The words were whispered as a promise to Peter and he couldn't help but sink into them, giving him blind faith.

It didn't matter when a beam of light shot out, making direct contact with the man who had been after him, a loud cry escaped him as he fell to the floor. Peter was safe now, Tony made sure of it.

[rrain-writes]

Howdy there~

For the bad things bingo, perhaps Magical Curse for Legend and Time? :3

Howdy!

One magical curse for the @badthingshappenbingo prompt, ft. Legend and Time coming right up. Enjoy!

Characters: Legend, Time

Warnings: blood and injury, blood-loss

Legend squirmed as Time tied up the end of the bandage on his abdomen. 

“Hylia damnit Old Man.” He complained. “Let’s leave the first aid to Wars next time, hey?”

Time chuckled in ammusement. “Well we have to find him first.” He replied, standing.

Legend followed, rising from the ground as he examined Time’s bandaging.

"Thanks." He said. "I suppose it's not too shoddy." Time just shook his head at Legend's antics, before beconing the younger hero. 

The pair walked for a while, maybe ten or so minutes, before Legend noticed the pain in his side getting worse. He stopped and lifted his tunic to examine the wound. Time, realising he was no longer following, turned around with an expression of concern.

"Is everything okay?"

Legend frowned. Crimson blood was seeping through the bandaging, which he hadn't noticed before because it had blended in to his red tunic.

"I think the wound reopened." He replied. "I should be fine until we get back to the others though."

Time looked up at the slowly darkening sky as he weighed up their options. They had about half a bottle of a potion left between the two of them. "Drink this." Time told him, handing the precious resource over. "We need to find the others fast, but only if you’re sure you can keep going. If you need to stop, then say so." He told him sternly. 

Legend nodded in reply, drinking the last of the potion, and they continued.

-

Legend hadn't noticed the ground rushing up to meet him until Time caught him.

"-end. Legend?"

Legend looked up woozily. Oh. Time was asking to see his injury. He nodded slowly, trying not to make himself more dizzy than he already was, and lifted his arm slightly so Time could get access to the wound. The veteran had no energy to do it himself.

"Did anything else happen during that fight?" Time asked. "Because this isn't right. The wound is open again like it's brand new."

That wasn't possible. They had treated his injury straight after the fight, and it was fine. Unless there was some kind of magic involved? Like a-

"Curse." Legend mumbled.

"What was that?"

"There was a wizzrobe." He explained. "I got hit with a spell and it didn't do anything."

Understanding dawned on Time's face.

"Except it did." He finished. "We need to get you back to camp."

Legend hummed in reply, his head already sinking to his chest. "Just give me a sec..."

He didn't even register Time talking to him, saying something about blood loss, or trying to shake him awake. Legend was already out like a light.

We get to update the bingo card, guys!!

[lotusflqwer]

I found this and wanted to see if I would win but I didn’t💔

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS GUYS ONE OF MY LU BINGO BOXES JUST GOT CHECKED OFF

[ppeasants]

Prompt: Human Shield

Fandom: Linked Universe

CW: Blood, Gore, Heavy Injuries, Broken Bones, Death / Open Ending

Synopsis: Wind has told The Chain, time and time again, not to jump in front of attacks meant for him. That he can protect himself just fine, that they don't need to get hurt just to 'protect him'.And yet, as he stares at the slow-breathing body of Four, he knows he isn't getting through to them.

It's a stupid fuckin' instinct, to endanger oneself to protect others.

My first fic in my Bad Things Happen Bingo focusing on Wind from Linked Universe! This fic has by far the most action I've ever written (over half the fic!) and I just hope it flows well! I am beyond excited to continue writing for his card, and I hope y'all enjoy the angst as much as I do <3
