LMTCOY Update

This chapter is WarrWildTime and it's as unpredictable and incendiary as you'd expect.

Please enjoy, and happy holidays.

[jackalsarchive]

Finally finished something that’s been in the works for....a couple months almost? Originally started this a bit after the mess in the kitchen and after Wild broke things off. 

Related to @st0rmyskies lmtcoy au, just experimenting a bit.

Did you know that LMTCOY just passed its 3-year anniversary?

Let's celebrate with a special guest star!

[st0rmyskies]

a little bit of leg/rule please st0rmy 🥺

Yes yes, I did promise, didn't I....

LMTCOY Update - Chapter 30 - Legend/Hyrule/Time, and...

In which Legend and Hyrule find themselves on the third floor for a little unofficial shibari lesson, plus someone else who gets to learn a little bit while they're there, too.

This chapter update was a sponsored WIP as part of my commissions! Thank you to my extremely generous donor for helping make this chapter possible, and for helping me try to get this damn air conditioner replaced already.

[st0rmyskies]

okay follow up what is going on legend and ravio hello?

they're all high as fuck

i'm suspicious what have you done stormy

Legend needs someone out in the throughways to attract patrons into his booth.

But also: he ain't coming out of the shade until that sun's a little lower. He's paid a lot for all that artwork on his back and arm.

personally i start with the original hsh, then lmtcoy, the the brave! then after that i read an assortment of poly sky, (not)oneshots, etc.

-secret third thing

NOT-oneshots

Third Thing anon calling me OUT

I added the final scene to the most recent chapter now that I'm certain I could write the one that would need to follow it.

At least Time didn't bash dark's head in, he's already suffering enough as it is.

Bet he hid that limp from his loverboy

Time has to try and be an adult about all this now that he and Twilight are (tentatively) on better terms.

And yes Dark ABSOLUTELY hid all that from Twilight. Lucky for him it was worse the following morning when Twi was already gone.

thought you may appreciate this: ‘tis the season in which my overall mental health takes a nose dive and, in preparation of the misery my family generally brings, I’ve curated a list of things that almost always uplifts my mood. Needless to say, LMTCOY has made it onto said list. Fucking love that piece of work and thought you should know.

(honeslty everything you’ve written is bound to be a comfort piece; it’s just too good and makes me feel something)

My heart goes out to you, friend. I just found out that my in-laws invited more of my in-laws to my house for the holiday dinner, without asking me first.

I'm the one cooking.

So, in the spirit of the holidays: I'm updating LMTCOY tonight for all of us.

[st0rmyskies]

Whumptober prompts? I’d love to see anything about Time (HSH/LMTCOY) with the childhood trauma prompts or Hyrule (any) with improvised weapon. You do write very satisfying violence.

"Satisfying violence" has been rolling around in my head since I got this ask, anon.

I will definitely mark these requests down! And I have plenty of Hyrule using Improvised Weaponry in The Brave's next update.

LMTCOY Update

Happy Pride Month, and happy Father's Day weekend! There's no sex to be had in this chapter, just some uncle-nephew bonding and a lot of questions about being gay.

Also, please heed the CW in the chapter notes at the beginning.

(Aside: I've received some great asks lately and have been meaning to comment on some works that have been linked to mine, but just been working like crazy. I'm going to do my best to get to them tomorrow!)

LMTCoY Update - Warm Solstice Wishes

In which we get a little peek into how Legend and Hyrule; Twilight and Dark; and Time, Wild, and Warriors are spending their holiday.

A shockingly SFW(-ish) update.

[st0rmyskies]

For your end of year asks how about one and three?

Hi these are OLDT asks about this post.

Favorite fic you wrote this year: Including favorite updates of ongoing fics, I have to go with the LMTCOY chapter The Side Gig, in which, as Miniscrew so succinctly pointed out, "Did Twilight and Dark just outsource a dom??"

3. Favorite line/scene you wrote this year: Also from LMTCOY but a chapter of a very different tone, The Fishing Trip is when Time and Twilight head out to the woods to have some really deep talks about sexuality and safety. My very favorite scene from this year comes much later in the chapter. Under the cut for homophobic language.

“What if they freak out?” Twilight asked thinly, although his words were starting to stumble over one another. “They’ll probably disown me. I know Mom’s gonna cry… Dad’ll cuss me out. He’ll throw all my stuff out into the road and tell me never to come home.” Twilight’s breathy laugh was nervous, and his eyes were rapidly filling with tears. “They hardly ever let me talk to Colin on the phone now that I’ve moved out, but… What if they don’t let me see him at all anymore? What are they gonna tell him about me?? What if—”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Twilight inhaled too sharply. He clamped one hand over his mouth, then the other, and the legs of Time’s chair scraped across the linoleum floor as he stood. He rounded the little table as Twilight’s anxiety and fear and sadness dragged him under, and Time wrapped his arms around Twilight just as he started to break apart. [...]

“Isn’t there anything I can do?” Twilight cried, his voice hoarse. “Can’t I fix what’s wrong with me?”

“Twilight,” Time murmured, squeezing him gently, “listen to me. There is nothing wrong with you.”

Twilight moaned miserably through his tears, pushing his face more firmly into Time’s shoulder. He shifted his arms from where they’d been nervously clasped in front of him to encircle Time, hugging him back. 

“The world is harsh,” Time went on, reaching up to cradle the back of Twilight’s head, “and there will always be people who try to tell you what to do, or who to be, or who you can love. And they may try to hurt you because of it. But the problem lies with them, not with you.” 

Although he didn’t answer, Twilight’s crying slowed as he listened to Time’s words, to the sound of his voice. 

“I love you with all of my heart, Twilight,” Time said, holding him a little tighter, “ever since the day I met you. No matter what do you, or who you love, I love you. And Colin loves you. And Malon loves you. And every single one of those boys in that house loves you, just the way you are.”

Twilight inhaled wetly, squeezing Time back tighter than he ever had before.

“There is nothing wrong with you,” Time tucked his head down to speak just above Twilight’s ear. “And whether you decide to come out to anyone or not, that doesn't change anything, and it doesn't make you any less of who you are. I love you, and I promise you that there is nothing in the world you could ever do to change that.”

Hello Stormy. I'm sure this wasn't ill-intentioned of you, but a long time ago there was an ask about gender headcanons for hsh and lmtcoy and you mentioned Legend was transmasc. however, in your fics, he's written as a cis man, and the same applies to Wild/Champion only in reverse. There's no mention of their gender identity, and we dont see them bonding over it. I respect you as a writer, and I understand that headcanons can change, but from a trans persons perspective, this just feels like it was done in poor taste. (PS. I know it was a long time ago, but it resonated strongly with me, and I find it kind of hurtful that you went back on that)

Hey anon, I haven't gone back on anything. I haven't published many of the works that feature them as trans. There are fics that include transmasc Wild and Champion on AO3. My trans!Legend fics have been shared on Discord but not published on AO3 because it's ultimately my choice if I share my work and with whom I share it.

Just a tired reminder that I am a hobby writer. I owe you nothing. I'm not doing this to intentionally cause hurt to anyone. I don't owe you or anyone else fic updates or representation for your identity. Hell, I don't even owe it to you to answer this ask.

I write for Me, not for You.

This sort of feedback is what makes others nervous to share their own writing. They worry that they won't live up to the nebulous expectations of the anonymous masses. If this describes you, I am here to remind you that it doesn't fucking matter what others think you should or shouldn't write. It's not your duty or responsibility to cater to the expectations of others. You don't do this for them. This is your hobby. You do this for you.

Anon, I would encourage you to take the energy it took to complain to a stranger on the internet and put it to better use by either creating the content that you want to see in the world, or by finding someone else who will do it for you.

chomping the air like a maniac the second i got the email notif that youd updated lmtcoy

-🐇

The actual smut will be posted later today!

[st0rmyskies]

thank u for the lmtcoy update it will carry me thru my thesis defense tomorrow lmao 💛 love ur writing as always, stormy

Omg best of luck on your thesis defense!! Sending heaps of good vibes your way!

[st0rmyskies]

Thought I might as well jump on the st0rmy love train and send this in. But your literature works honestly have helped me grow immensely as an individual and get through some rough points in my life. Deadass, I read LMTCOY almost on the daily simply because it brings me a massive amount of comfort reading the characters naturally and unconditionally love each other (no matter their backgrounds). I think it also helps me reflect it in my own life and gives me a healthy reality slap of ‘my past does not define me, especially if I was the victim’ and ‘I am deserving of love’. Reading your works is almost like therapy ngl.

If AO3 would let me, I would send unlimited and daily kudos. Thank you for being wholeheartedly unbashful of who you are and thank you for showing by example that it is okay to do so. For the first time in a while, I’ve felt as if there is indeed a sliver of society that genuinely accepts those who simply want to love.

-Anon who probably grew up in a strict religion aka probably a cult

This ask made me feel so warm and fuzzy that I finally updated LMTCOY tonight.

This story has been therapeutic for me to write, I think. I've definitely learned a lot through writing it, both in a writing-exercise sense and in a learning-about-oneself sense. I'm so glad it can be of some comfort to you, anon, and I am glad you know that you are deserving of love!
