Many months later and a knock on a door

"Did you miss me that much Mr. Hero?" Ravio asked

"No" 

Ravio then squished Legend's cheeks together as punishment for lying "I missed you too Link"

[islandlobster]

for the requests, what abbtt some ravio !!!!!!!

EEEEEWWWWWWWW . this guy am i right

[twink-between-worlds]

im eepy so headcanon time

fable usually messes with legends hair to help him fall asleep. ravio probably does it too once they get together.

because of this, he has trouble sleeping around the chain because he doesn't want to ask them to do that, it would be embarrassing.

sky picks up on it super quickly though

[ketchupkio]

Here u go, the them!! Wars + dress + sockies has become so comforting to me??? Just seems cozy 🥰

Warriors (he/she/they) and Ravio (he/him) belong to @ageless-soul-au, pls don't tag any other AUs!

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @the-real-azalea-scroggs! Had to wait until I was of my phone because doing these is a nightmare on mobile lmao

1. How many works do you have on A03?

18 as of a few days ago!

2. What's your total A03 word count?

157,937! Which is. Only a fraction of the word count in my Docs folder. Be prepared.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I mainly write for The Legend of Zelda; specifically Linked Universe! In fact, that's all that's posted on my Ao3 currently, since my fall into that fandom began with me uploading there! Pre-Ao3 I wrote for Black Cat (Anime/Manga), Megaman NT Warrior, various Pokémon things, Assassin's Creed, Yugioh, Final Fantasy XIV and Octopath Traveler! Some of these I still write privately, but I haven't gotten around to re-posting any.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Whistling on Deaf Ears - My longest fic on Ao3, focusing on Wild and Twilight's friendship and how good intentions can lead to disaster.

Iconoclasm - Warriors deals with the room full of portraits in Cia's palace. The Chain also deals with it, but with a bit more fire.

Deserving - Twilight finally tells Rusl that he was the wolf in the village during TP, but that also means dealing with some heavier topics. Colin half overhears them and forms his own conclusions.

Something Greater - The start of the "Hyrule can see magical auras" series! In this one we deal with Legend and his many rings.

Ocean Magic - Mermaid Legend and Zora Time have a race and then fight one of the Big Octos from WW! Fun times.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Every single one!! I love comments, they give me an excuse to ramble about my fic more!! I am always down to ramble about every single insignificant detail of any line and/or section. If you ever want more background info about one of my fics, look to the comments!

So please, I adore comments, I treat them like treasures, not responding to them would be a CRIME.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

There's no contest; Inevitable, my (so far) only MCD fic.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hmmm, that's hard to quantify. I usually try to end fics on a hopeful note regardless. I'd say possibly either Deserving, where Twilight reconnects with his family, or Shimmering Blue, Striking White, where Time meets the Fierce Deity settled down on Satori Mountain and they both get closure.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully, no! I've been blessed with mostly amazing and patient readers, even when my upload schedule isn't the best.

9. Do you write smut?

No, not really. I've attempted it, but I'm too asexual for it lol

10. Do you write crossovers?

Very, very rarely. Mostly privately, and only very specific ones. Only a single one has had an actual plot, so far (more on that one in question 15!).

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Also a nope! I tend to write for smaller fandoms, where these things don't tend to happen a lot!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have! But it's been a while. Over a decade, in fact! I tried to find the fic to link it here, but it was on the German fanfic website fanfiktion.de, and my friend who posted it back then must have deactivated her account, because it's nowhere to be seen (I still have the Word file though!). It was a Multi-Crossover that started as an RP in a forum, and we took turns turning the RP into prose one chapter each. "If a Hero Turns to Dark" was its title. We were edgy teenagers.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Hissssss. Bad question. Shoo. They are all equally important!!

But it's probably TenRose from Doctor Who.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

One of the very few crossovers I've ever worked on; a crossover fic between Assassin's Creed and Doctor Who, that I have mapped out in both chronological and timeline order, and yes, those are different. I only ever wrote about a quarter of it, since my primary audience of it disappeared when we graduated. I doubt I'll ever pick it back up properly, and if I do it'll probably go through heavy rewrites first since it's so old. Finishing it is a nice thought, but realistically, after 9 years it'll never be high priority enough for it to actually happen.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue, especially arguments, and emotional impact. I've been told I do really well making characters feel alive and believable! Also I like to believe I'm decent at setting a scene and giving it the vibe I want it to have!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I struggle with dialogue tags when nothing much is happening besides the talking. I always feel it's too bland, and fall back on the same phrases. My scene transitions could use some work too.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I've done this with Japanese phrases, because I was a massive weeb. Usually I followed them up with their own translations, though; I'm not the biggest fan of footnote translations, unless they are properly linked to. Simple dialogue tags are my favourite way of indicating a language switch.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Black Cat the Manga/Anime! It's a series about an assassin turned bounty hunter trying to live a life separate from his murdery past, but getting dragged back into things by still wanting to avenge his best friend's death. The series has a special place in my heart and my bookshelf, it left an imprint on 13-year-old me that will never leave.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Probably Jailbreak, uncharacteristically enough! It's one of the only fics I never got stuck in once. Writing it was a great feeling from start to finish. I love writing all of my fics, but that was a special few days.

Tagging @ahrva @nowhere-to-go-but-down @silvercaptain24 and @aeghina! And anyone who wants to do it, really, go wild

[echoing--stars]

Hiiiii Woooooorm

So. Consider this. (I totally didn't get this idea from both me writing a kidnapping fic and you getting a kidnapping prompt for Link and Rowan) Link teaching Rowan some super basic but effective self-defense moves

this can be as fluffy or angsty as you want it to be, but personally I think they deserve a little awkward flirting mixed in between repetitions ;)

To make up for missing yesterday, this one got a little long!

Disclaimer - I do a poor job of explaining an actual self-defense move in this. I don't think anyone is going to try and do this after reading a snippet of a fanfic, but I still wanted to say that I did not explain it super accurately. I had a hard time finding a proper reference outside of the two second long video I have of me doing it at the one self defense class I've taken XD

And yes, it can work against someone much bigger and stronger than yourself!

It got long enough to put under a read more line and that I didn't want to bother with the indented formatting, apologies in advance

(If you read this and would like to request a short snippet, see this post!)

“Is this really necessary?”

Link looked up from where he was untying the laces on his boots. Rowan stood with his arms crossed, looking nervously around the empty training room. Link had ensured that they wouldn’t be bothered — it was the only way Rowan would have felt comfortable enough to come.

“I would feel more comfortable if I knew that you could defend yourself.”

Rowan sighed as his shoulders slumped. “We live in such a safe neighborhood though. There’s never been a problem at the bakery.”

The words were weak even to Link’s ears. It might be true that no one had ever broken into the bakery or otherwise threatened Rowan, but it had only been a few weeks since Link had been attacked on the street. The threat had been neutralized quickly with the help of a nearby guard and Link had only suffered a small cut on his arm. But after that, he couldn’t help but worry about what would happen if someone tried to go after Rowan.

“It’s always better to be prepared. The hope is that you’ll never have to use this but…”

“Just in case, I get it.”

This was a familiar conversation after the past few weeks, but Rowan had eventually relented. Link brought him to one of the buildings at the army base and led him to a room he knew wasn’t used that often.

The floor of the room was dirt and a crooked ring made up of a thick but ragged rope. There were a few benches around the ring for observers and various supplies along the walls.

Link finished removing his boots and socks and pulled off his tunic. No sense in getting it sweaty.

Rowan had followed his lead and removed his shoes and socks as well, but he kept his shirt on led. Link led him in a series of stretches to warm up and loosen their muscles.

Link walked Rowan through blocking and throwing a punch, how to disarm someone carrying a dagger, where to aim to stun someone.

“Remember, you don’t have to win, just buy enough time to get away or for someone else to come help.”

Rowan slowly gained confidence, at first not putting any strength behind his hits, too worried to hurt Link. Link encouraged and supported and poked at him in turn. Practice didn’t mean anything if you didn’t learn at full strength.

Rowan lashed out with a punch, and Link let it hit him. The impact stung. “That one actually hurt a bit!”

Rowan’s eyes widened and he took a step back, holding his hands up. “I’m sorry!”

“No, that’s a good thing! It means you’re getting more confident.”

Rowan did look convinced. “Okay, but it’s not like I’d have a chance against a skilled fighter. If we were actually fighting, I wouldn’t be any threat.”

Link sighed. There was some truth to that. Someone who’d — thankfully — never had to fight would have a hard time against someone who’d been fighting for years. “Remember, it’s not about winning, or knocking someone out. It’s about buying time.” Link tapped on his chin for a moment. “I have an idea. Turn around.”

Rowan hesitated for only a moment, but after Link gestured, he did as told. Link stepped forward until his chest was against Rowan’s back and reached up to wrap an arm around his throat. It was a bit awkward, considering that Rowan was a few inches taller than Link, but he was still able to hold his arm in place. He was careful not to put any actual pressure against Rowan’s throat, of course.

“What’s your first instinct if this happens?”

They were close enough that Link could feel Rowan’s chest rise and fall as he breathed.

“Grab your arm and try to pull it off?”

“Right, keep the pressure off your throat. Try.”

Rowan wrapped his hands around Link’s forearm. Link tensed his muscles, resisting Rowan’s pull. He put his other hand against Rowan’s shoulder. “Okay, the person is stronger than you, you can’t pull their arm off. In that case, make sure your feet are planted and stable. You’re going to lean forward, pulling me with you, and squat. As you stand back up, pop your hips back so your torso stays parallel to the ground. This should pull me onto your back.”

When Rowan didn’t move, Link nudged at his leg with his foot. “Come on, try. It helps if you move quickly.” Link wasn’t sure if that was true, but if it got Rowan moving, he would take it.

Finally, Rowan did as asked. His movements were a bit shaky, but he was able to pull Link onto his back. Link’s chin was at Rowan’s shoulder now, and Rowan’s hands were warm against his arm.

“Okay, this is where it gets fun. We’re going to do this again, but this time when you stand up from the squat, you’re going to lean your left shoulder — because I’m grabbing you with my left arm — towards the ground. Make sure you have a firm grip on my arm and use your grip to pull me forward. This will flip me over your shoulder so —”

“Link! I’m not throwing you over my shoulder!”

Rowan dropped his hands from Link’s arm and he slid off of Rowan’s back. Rowan spun around, eyes wide. “I don’t think I could even do that if I wanted to.”

Link took a step forward, holding a hand up in a placating gesture. “You can! Believe me, this is something that can work against attackers that are bigger and stronger than you.”

Rowan’s expression shifted and his lips twitched as he tried to hold back a smile. “You would know, right?”

Link snorted and rolled his eyes. “Calling me short, are you? How mature.” But he couldn’t hold back his own smile. Besides, he’d much rather have Rowan teasing him if it meant that he wasn’t worried about hurting Link while learning self-defense.

Rowan laughed. “Sorry, couldn’t help it.”

Link shook his head, still smiling. “Alright, fine. But I promise you will not hurt me. I’ve trained on both sides of this and know how to make myself land safely. The sandy floor helps too. And yes, this does work if the attacker is taller than you.”

“If you’re sure?”

“I am.”

“Let’s do this.”

Rowan turned around and Link wrapped his arm around Rowan’s throat again. He made sure that Rowan had a strong grip on his arm and then coached him through the movement again. They practiced this a few times until Rowan was confident enough to do the full move.

“Ready this time?” Link asked.

“As I’ll ever be.”

This time when Rowan squatted and then stood up, he yanked Link’s arm and tilted so Link rolled off his shoulder. He hit the ground back first, and his breath rushed out of his chest. Link blinked, and then Rowan was looking down at him, eyes wide with apparent panic.

“Are you okay? It seems like you hit the ground hard. I didn’t hurt you, did I?” 

Link drew in a deep breath before moving to sit up. Rowan moved around him until he could reach out a hand.

“I’m fine! That was amazing, Rowan, I knew you could do it!” Link smiled and took Rowan’s outstretched hand. Rowan pulled him up so fast that Link nearly fell against Rowan’s chest.

Rowan laughed and wrapped his arms around Link, pulling him into a tight hug. “I was worried you hit your head or something for a second.”

“I’m fine. And besides, I’ve had worse during training and while working with recruits.”

“That is not reassuring.”

Link grinned and pulled back enough so that he could look up at Rowan. “I don’t know, I think I turned out okay.”

Rowan moved a hand to Link’s cheek. “More than okay, I’d say.”

hi! a bit ago you made a post wondering where shadow's inferiority complex comes from and I wanted to share my personal headcanon and what (to me) is the simplest explanation:

link is shown to be very confident before pulling the sword and after putting it back, rushing into fights because he believes himself a very capable person (which he is but still)

shadow, being almost an opposite of link, would thus NOT be very confident right out of the gate. add to this that ganon might've given him some long monolog about how link is a serious threat (ganon's faced him before after all) while at the same time likely implying shadow ISN'T (since, compared to ganon and link, shadow in ganon's eyes is the weakest)

ganon summoned him only for him to summon vaati and distract link, to me it makes sense he'd form and immediately be utterly insecure

hi!!!!!! totally understandable, and thank you for sharing your headcanon! i loved reading through it! :D i will say a couple things though—shadow, throughout the manga, is stated to be link's reflection, not his opposite (using the viz translation here but he's also referred to as a reflection in the fan translation: "I'm your shadow, your living reflection in the Dark World."/"It is a 'Shadow Link'... ...A dark reflection of you, but more powerful than any mere shadow."/"And it wasn't that hard, because in the end... ...you're a reflection of us."), and he is quite similar to link because of that—his impulsiveness, his arrogance, his dramatics, his heart); he's just. y'know. Mean. because he's lonely and angry and lashing out (and having fun with it because. well. what else is there to do?). shadow is very confident in himself—he's aware of the power he wields and knows how to thoroughly use it to get his way ("Do I look weak to you?! Can't you feel my strength?!"/"I'm the one who woke Vaati up. It'd be just as easy... ...to seal him away again!"). it's being referred to as "just a shadow" specifically that turns shadow into an emotional glass cannon. and, as he later reveals, his issue lies with the fact that when he's just link's shadow, all he can do is follow. all he can do is stare at link's back as link leads the way. nobody looks at him and he's forgotten over and over again, which is why he considered bringing vaati down a big deal. and now that i think about it, since shadow explicitly states he was born from the dark mirror (he uses the term "came out of" in the viz translation but it means the same thing), maybe he was following link around in his shadow prior to the events of the manga before going to fuck shit up at the four sword sanctuary and that's why he points out what being a shadow is like specifically. hm. food for thought! but also i really wouldn't be surprised if ganon did hit him with some sort of monologue that demeaned him in some way that just added to this initial complex of his (because again, he either blew it up exponentially in his mind or something else happened. imo he just gets way too heated & emotionally fragile about it for it to be just about always having to follow and never lead). especially with the dialogue that happens between them when ganon dragged him back out of the dark mirror. nothing quite like begging for forgiveness and also begging not to be dragged back out into the light world only for the guy who created you to be like "you are NOT forgiven! GET YOUR ASS BACK OUT THERE AND KILL THOSE HEROES!"

and also i know the manga doesn't go into it like the game does, but fsa's ganon(dorf) is actually a reincarnation of oot's ganondorf, so this version in particular actually hasn't fought link before unless he somehow remembers him from his past life. but yes shadow would be the weakest in ganon's eyes (which is funny considering shadow IS very confident that he could seal vaati away again. i do wonder how he would accomplish that without the use of the four sword. what does shadow have up his sleeve.....)

ravio: im a coward legend: and i took that personally

“Rav, if you say you’re a coward again, I might actually castrate you.”Legend sighed heavily, currently laying on the floor with a very unimpressed look on his face. He’d been contentedly listening to the idle chatter between his travel companions and his idiot…er, well. Just his idiot, he supposes. Anyways, he’d been listening to them chat, and Ravio had said those four awful words again. “I’m actually a coward,” Legend hates when Ravio belittles himself like that. Truly hates it. “That’s so mean, Mr. Hero,”Ravio crossed his arms with a huff, barely turning to regard the hero. Who is still on the floor. He should probably get up. Nah. Instead, Legend just huffed at him. “Then stop saying it.” “But it—” “I will go and get a knife right fucking now if you’re about to say what I think you are.” Ravio fell silent. Legend likes to think he won that argument, or at least this portion of it. When it comes to the topic of Ravio’s, in Legend’s opinion, non-existent cowardice, the argument is always broken up into multiple sections. It’s just the way it goes. Honestly, it’s just part of Legend’s routine now. He hates this part of the daily routine, though. He doesn’t think Ravio is a coward, and it bugs him that Ravio sees himself that way.
