Two Bunnies in Love

(Cozytober Alt Day: "Thanks for putting up with me." -Ravioli)

TW: None.

(I'm honestly surprised I only managed to do Ravioli once this month.)

“Thank you for putting up with me!”, Is yelled out to the room. SIlence coming in strong before A giggle turns into a snort Turns into full on laughter.

“That wasn’t funny Mr.Hero! I’m being serious here!” Shouted from a frazzled Bunny Merchant Hurt and confused.

“No, I‘m not laughing at you Rav.” A certain Hero of Legend calms from his laughing fit. Cradling his Bunny’s chin in his hands. “Thank you for putting up with me, Ravio.”

Red blossoming on Ravio’s face As Link gently pulls him forward.. Gleeful smile, as hands roam to the back of his neck And a content look softens his hero’s eyes.

“I love you, Rav But having the same thought is Just a little funny.” “I hate you Mr. Hero.” “No, you don’t.” No, no I don’t…. Because no one else puts up with me!”

Giggles pouring out As the two bump noses together, Humming like the happy bunnies they are. Love is something to put up with after all.

My Grief Stands Before Me

(Whumptober Day 11: Seeing Double -Legend & Four)

TW: Grief, Hallucinations, references to Palace of the Four Sword, referenced MCD

Shink. Steady and monotonous. The smithy is at it again. And yet…Out of the corner of my eye, I see a four like figure with shadows smoking from their green tunic. A smirk on their face like they hold all of the cards As their sword is sharpened over and over.

I can see four and wind choosing chaos Right in front of me. So, then why do I hear a grating but bell-like laugh behind me. Looking behind me I see them Another figure, this time in Red. A dark goop like lava sliding from their mouth in between giggles.

The adrenaline of battle keeps me on my feet Sky has my back and four is close by. Everything is as it should be till Another one! Every once in a while I catch a glimpse Of a Blue figure walking among the battle Calling out misleading advice as his fists drip darkness.

Again and Again they appear! Can I take any more guilt for what I did? I was just a Child! How was I supposed to know?!?

It’s another sleepless night, fiddling with my rings And trying to keep myself calm when. I. Hear. It. A hmph of displeasure, looking over at my worst nightmare. Four reading peacefully while almost his twin just in purple reads behind him. Shadowy ash falling from his violet eyes and onto a green headband. For only a moment the doppelganger looks up With the most pleased smile on his face,

“Murderer”, he says.

[nopenototdaysatan]

What have I done (While I should be sleeping)?

(Whumptober Day 30: What have I done? with Legend [Link from ALTTP])

TW: Stabbing, Major Character Death, the deadly implications of gravity in a daily basis, Grief

(*tapping the tw sign* Read it again.)

Shunk! Bodies falling, Metal squelching in blood and tissue and skin. Shields clanging against each other And a Thump as the ground meets them.

Little hands pushing up at the one laying above At the Knight holding them down. Begging them to get their heavy self off. Wishing they had the strength to actually move them.

The jangle of sword against metal plating against shields Against the wiggling movement of a small child. Trying to pull themselves out now and yet Gravity hinders them from their escape.

Slowly inch by inch they make it, And with their last boot out from under him The Knight’s head hits the floor with a ding. Red slowly pooling out onto the floor Now that the small child isn’t there to soak up the blood.

“Mr. Knight?” whispered into the wind As the terrifying truth slowly comes to mind. “No. No. No. No. No. NO.” Breathing picking up unsteadily As the body in front of him cools.

His first kill And it was his Uncle’s friend! HIs Uncle would hate him. Should despise him!

But he didn’t mean it. He didn’t want to k-kill them. He didn’t even want to hurt them. But they didn’t recognize him.

They didn’t even recognize his Uncle’s sword and shield. How did they not recognize him as Uncle’s Nephew! As “Little Link the Future Knight” As he always told them he would be!

He doesn’t want this. He wants to go home. This has to be a nightmare, right? It can’t be real!

But he needed to get the princess, He couldn’t disobey his Uncle after this. Maybe he could go get her and take her home And then Uncle would come and fix this in the morning.

Standing back up Link steps closer to the corpse. His sword was still stuck in Uncle’s friend Using all of his strength He pulls the sword And it inch by bloody inch comes out As it spills blood everywhere around them.

Just start walking Link, Don’t look back. Just like with Uncle before You gotta move forward.

Covered in blood. Covered in bruises. Limping and Tired. The new hero makes his way to the princess.

Unable to to keep the thought of of his head: “What Have I Done?

[nopenototdaysatan]

Home in a Cloak

(Cozytober Day 1: Borrowing a sweatshirt or coat - Hyrule)

Soft and Warm, Like a hug. Furry and Snug, Like a good night's rest.

Maybe, Twilight doesn’t need it. Maybe, his cloak can be borrowed for just a day. It feels so nice and warm During these cool autumn days.

The cloak falls long, hitting his boots. The ruff closing around his neck like a gentle hug And the head piece dangles behind like warm weight.

Running his hands through the strands of wolf fur Hyrule grabs the edges of the hood, fur soft against his hands And flips it over his head, a small chuckle of joy coming out As the fur falls over his smiling eyes.

[nopenototdaysatan]

Friends long gone but still in my sights

(Cozytober Day 15: Visiting the Dead -Zelda(Flora) & Link (WIld))

TW: Grief, Canonical MCD, Champions enough said.

(It's my birthday!!! Come enjoy some angst with me today while I write fluff!)

Zelda Perspective

A gentle breeze blowing against us, Blue clouds, and a glowing sunny day. The perfect day for this. A perfect day for their memorial to go up.

Our friends, Our comrades, Our fellow champions Lost before their time. Lost to save this land we love.

Tears stream down my face, A princess shouldn’t be this emotional But they wouldn’t care:

Revali would make me laugh with his pompous nature. Mipha would hold my hands while trying not to cry with me. Daruk would hug us tightly refusing the need for tears And Urbosa would remind us it’s okay to cry As long as we picked ourselves up afterwards.

Turning from their statues I see Link crying as well. Even with some of his memories gone, He still remembers them. And so I grab his hand, holding it tight to give him some comfort Like his presence gives me.

Their Memorial can’t fix everything. It can’t take all of the pain away But it at least gives us a place to remember them. To remember our friends and family.

To the Champions! The Heroes of Hyrule.

The Day is Long.... And Needs Cuddles.

Day 6: Cuddles after a bad day (The Colors)

-Green- Quiet, Silence, Peace, Finally. The cooling edge Of a wooden floor against my cheek.

Breathing deep and steady Before melting into the floor. Today was long and stressful And Hylia darn awful.

-Blue- It’s my one day off and I’m gonna- Flomp. What the hell did I trip over?!?! Green? Nudging him with my foot And yet I get nothing from him.

Getting up from my fall I look down at Green more carefully. Huff. The bastard’s just laying there to trip everyone. Jokes on him. I’ll keep him here so that He keeps getting tripped on. That’ll serve him!

-Red- Today’s been great. I had cinnamon rolls for breakfast! And the sun is shining And maybe I should- Eeeeeeeeeh! A cuddle pile!

Diving onto Blue and Green I could not be happier Than I am right now! Giving affection freely to almost all of my brothers.

I wonder where Vio is?

-Vio- My attention is held soundly By the open book in my hands. Nothing else but the hand grabbing my arm And pulling me down….What?

Looking around and around I see Red’s head on my arm. Green underneath me and Blue relaxing back like I’m the perfect back rest. Sigh.

….. At least they’re a comfortable reading nook for me. Leaning back I can’t help but enjoy what Red calls “A Cuddle Puddle.”

[nopenototdaysatan]

If I turn my back, can I walk away?

(Whumptober Day 2: Trust Issues -Warriors) [Music]

TW: Poison, Stabbing/slashing, Hypothermia, Dehydration, General Violence

A cup, darkened with wine And a little something else. Bile stuck on the floor Hands shaking with fear Oh, the delight of another day lived.

Red burbling from a slash Somewhere only few would know A strike to the solar Vicious and mocking all at the same time. Oh, the delight of another day survived.

A broken lock to home Amidst a freezing Blizzard No water left for me As I choked in the desert. Oh, the suffering of another day.

No one to trust. No one who understands it. Maybe I’ll strike first next time. Maybe that knife you used will come in handy this time.

[nopenototdaysatan]

Running from my Shadow

(Day 3: Set up for Failure- Shadow)[Music]

TW: Burning

Running, Rushing, Panting through the fear, I can’t let them get to me.

Swords gleaming, Torches glowing, All of them have weapons And they’re all trained on me.

Why am I the villain again? I didn’t do anything, right? I stayed with Link. I was n-nice. Ugh.

Flinching. Scrambling to get away, Fire too close Way too close.

I can see my own shadow as I run Fear in every step I make, This wouldn’t be a problem If Link was still here.

As they get closer and closer, As the dawn keeps rising and rising; I can only question why, Why is this happening to me?!?

……..

From a lofty branch in a forest Someone cackles in glee Watching the stupid little shadow Run and run from his fear.

Run little Shadow, Run.

[nopenototdaysatan]

Cuddles Amidst a Twilight Sky

(Linktober Shadow Day 23: Twilight - TP!Link & Midna)

TW: Nothing! I fix everything and no one needs to cry over a stupid mirror anymore! Join me in the best of fantasies. T~T

(This works both platonically or romantically. Enjoy to your desires.)

----

Scampering sounds of paws meeting ground, Huffs before an energetic and happy bark, A delighted Queen watches as her hero Joins her to watch the shining twilight skies.

Paws racing forward as he arrives at her side, Excitement and Joy clear in the wagging of his tail As he comes up and plops himself on her lap. “Truly you are just a dog, Link.” as laughter spills from her throat.

Even mild mannered as he is, Link takes offense and gives her a look of Annoyed mischief. He can always be more dog-like If her highness prefers that.

A gentle smirk to almost tempt him into more Before bringing her hands to his fluffy ears, Soft and equally mobile Midna gently pets them.

The easiest way to bring her dog to heel. And the quickest way to get him to stay. Sometimes she just enjoys being with Link like this. No words needed, just warmth and time together.

Looking back up at the colorful sky, She can’t help but think Almost nothing could be better than this. Just a little more teasing is needed.

[nopenototdaysatan]

Crying for a Voice

(Linktober Shadow Day 22: Chasm/Rift -EOW Link)

TW: Mutism (Gave the boy my personal scariest selective mutism episode.)

Echoes of Wisdom spoilers ahead.

The silence feels deafening around me, Broken buildings to the left of me, Trees and roots and bushes to the right of me. I want to scream.

For help? To yell my terror out! To just hear something, anything. Silence surrounds me on all sides.

The darkness feels like it’s closing in Everything smaller, Like part of the rift is condensing into something Smaller and smaller until it gets lodged in my throat.

With a heavy breath I drop, Down to the rift colored earth beneath me. Falling to my knees I open my mouth to cry out Only for nothing, not even a whisper of sound to come out.

I try to whisper: Nothing. I try to hum: Silence. I try to huff: not a single breath. Nothing, no matter what I do I get nothing.

The syllables feel stuck in my throat, The vibrations stuck in a pudding keeping them still The breath that would give me voice to anything Is gone now. I will not speak another thought.

Collapsing to the ground The terror of the situation fully hits. Tears pooling and gasping breaths making not a single sound Amidst the silence of this terrifyingly quiet rift.

[nopenototdaysatan]

With My Brothers Surrounding Me, I Can't Lose.

(Whumptober Day 19: Blood Trail -Sky)

TW: Lots of Blood, MCD

(Writing Bad ass Sky is so much fun!!!!)

Aching, Burning, Skin pulled against each other, Causticly and with fever. Crimson bright against white cloth.

Ruby dripping down, down, down, Splattering against white eyes Blinding his eyes from the horrors in front If only they were still alive to see.

Maroon swirling with a mahogany, Mixing and blending, Darker and darker, Maybe one can hide in the other. Maybe the curse will be forgotten. Like all dead do.

Garnet splashing on the floor, On clothes no longer colorful but just one shade, On a hand still twitching As if to grab, As if to plead For one more day alive.

Scarlet, covering his boot Where a legend is grabbing him so. A gentle hand and one word “Rest.”

“I will finish this.” Red staining his sword Sky walks a path of blood, A path of brothers, A path of Death to his enemy.

[nopenototdaysatan]

Post-Whumptober Feelings:

So, these past couple of months have been so much fun prepping and posting ( besides the formatting and tagging but they're always the bane of my existence.) I have had so much fun that now that I've taken a break it feels weird to not be on the grind writing and posting.... Which just means I need to get back to H&H! (And maybe a colors time loop. the microwave is spinning on that one.)

So, let's talk engagement. First off all thank you to everyone who showed any interest in my poems this month! Every like, reblog and comment meant the world to me and seeing fairly consistent engagement made me really happy!

Thank you in particular to @green-hoshi, @turdofanerd, & @links-in-time

for commenting on my stuff! You guys kept the dream going and provided necessary motivation to finish!

Now which were the fan favorites as a surprise to likely only me the more fluffy poems did really well. But Legend and Wars whumping were also well loved. Here's the top five:

Day 24's (Cozytober Alt 4) prompt "Thanks for putting up with me!" from 'Two Bunnies in Love' with 21 notes!

Day 11's (Whumptober) prompt Seeing Double from 'My Grief Stand Before Me' with 15 notes

Day 6's (Cozytober) prompt Cuddles after a bad day from "The Day is Long…. And Needs Cuddles." with 11 notes.

Day 30 & 2's (Whumptober) prompts "What Have I done" from 'What Have I Done (While I should be sleeping)?' and Trust Issues from "If I turn my back, Can I walk away?" with 9 notes

Day 1's (Cozytober) prompt Borrowing(Stealing) a Sweatshirt or Coat from "Home in a Cloak" with 8 notes

And Honorable mentions to my two favorite to write pieces:

Day 9 (Hypothermia) "Freezing Down to the Soul." and Day 28 (Denial) "Who cares about dying or living when you could SUFFER for them instead."

If I have learned anything from this is that the audience demands more fluff in general and hurting Legend more. And I can and will do both. CX

 Only the gods will hear our pleas tonight!

(Whumptober Day 29 (Alt): Friendly Fire -Warriors & Shadow)

TW:  PTSD, Flashbacks, Panic Attacks, Stabbing, Violence, Major Character Death, Might be Dead Dove: Don't eat the poem

The crash of a body falling through a bush Brings his head whipping about To the sight of a small “Dark”? There is something off about them though..

Wheezing from the strike That sent him head over heels Through a bush into a small glade Shadow slowly pushes himself up.

One hand on his sword, He watches as the small Dark leans up. Messy Purple? Hair but the same dark tunic and hat. And Blue red eyes gleaming out at him.

Leaning up he groans as the bruises and cuts Make themselves known across his small wispy body. It is only a second. Just a flicker almost out of sight. Just one second to notice the sword at his neck.

Breathing deeply one moment and heaving out breaths the next Warriors presses the sharp blade even further Against someone’s his dark’s throat. He’d never misremember those eyes.

An uneasy chuckle makes it out of Shadow’s throat. “I know this probably looks really bad. But I can explain- Blood drips down as the blade digs in even deeper cutting further into his throat, Blue eyes filled with shock before he disappears into the safety of the shadows.

“Get out of there Dark! You can’t hide from me!” roars from his chest, Spinning to keep his eyes on any shadow that might change. As his hands tremble and shake in fear. Caught up in the nightmare.

“Whose dark? I’m Shadow and I don’t even know who you are!” Slowly pulling himself out of the shadow of a tree On the other side of the glade. He tries to calm the other while terrified himself.

Purple Dark hair fluttering under a violently twisting hat, “You can’t fool me, Dark. not again. I will destroy you before you can hurt them again!” Swirling out Legend’s fire rod he turns it’s full blast on the other.

Ducking down, Shadow barely escapes the blaze. Only the edges of his hat getting caught in the flame. An unstable and clearly terrified Hero is no good for him. While putting out his hat he can’t help but to wonder: Is there any way to get out of this without hurting him?

He will keep them safe this time. No more being held hostage. No more being the weakness. No more nightmares and fear. He will end this now.

This would truly be easier if Link was here Link is loyal and good and very much willing to put himself in harm's way But if he can handle four of them at once surely he can handle just one…. Right? Jumping out of the tree’s shadow he dodges another blast of fire. “Wai-

Caught you! Pulling out his sword he goes for the kill, to end it all now.. A large spin attack and- He got him! Another hit! This is easy… too easy.

A slash across his chest as he tried to move. Blood dripped down his tunic, turning his black tunic almost red in the light. He’s got such terrible luck. Maybe an appeal to his heroism? “Stop! This doesn’t need to happen. You’re a hero, right?”

Do Darks bleed? He doesn’t remember this happening before? “Yes, this does! I can’t let you hurt anymore people!” Swiping his blade forward across again and again. “I will not stop until you are no longer a threat.” A promise. A threat.

Hissing from the pain of new cuts and scratches And the pulling of wounds already there. “I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore! I helped Link-” Eyes widening as the other makes it too close.

“No, you didn’t! You have never helped me!” is cried out to the forest. Warriors eyes steeling themselves as his blade splatters blood everywhere From where it sheathed itself in the small dark’s chest. “And now you never will.”

It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! How does this hurt more than the mirror! Tears spilled from the small shadow’s eyes As he sobbed in pain and the last breaths of his second life.

One moment the Captain, the next Link; The calming of his heart, the easing of his fear And panic and Paranoia. And- Only now does he see. Only now can he realize.

This wasn’t his dark.

A cry of pain and torment reaches the heavens But who it was only the trees know. For a broken Captain and A bleeding Shadow are the only two to hear.

An Unending Regret

(Whumptober Day 31: Asking for Help & AI-less Whumptober Day 31: Panic Attack. -Time & Twilight)

Tw: Brief panic attack

More H/C than Whump but that feels like a nice way to end the month in my opinion. Thanks for joining me this month as I drove myself insane.

Peace and contentment And watching his descendant hurt his steed. Oh, if only he could go back in time To smack Twilight upside the head for this.

Danger and Unintended safety Watching Twilight be hurt and captured. Watching him fight to get out what became A hell of a royal prison.

Rushing and uncaring of his safety Why is he doing this? He has time. All of the time to do this. To make the kingdom safe again. They don’t even know he’s a threat yet!

Wagging tails and ernest Determination But your not the hero yet Kiddo Am I the reason you have such bad habits? Did I teach them to you with my skills? Malon always did say I was terrible as a kid.

1 Skill learned and the pride in you grows, Taking out a single boss has you feeling powerful But it won’t keep you alive. Please, Twilight let that lesson not be learned through blood.

Your second skill and the grief is mounting, If only I could take this from you. The horror of watching your loved ones be hurt. The fear of not knowing if you can even save them. Please my son, don't worry so heavily.

My Third Skill given and your terror is pushed back for courage, You Shouldn’t Have To. Why is it you?

The Fourth Skill is the trickiest to endure and you put you all into it, Bashing, flipping and striking again and again and again. I don’t see that light in your eyes anymore. Please come back to us Twilight. You are a light to so many of us.

The fifth and now the first of my bloodline skills, Dangerous and deadly and I don’t want to teach him this. I don’t wanna make him into even more of a weapon than he already is. But he must and I can’t dawdle so, he will learn the mortal draw.

Another Skill for him to succeed with and another closer to the last. And yet for as far he’s come nobody can be perfect. He waits a moment too long and my sword comes gleaming in for a strike. I can never be more thankful for my death than now. For the dead can’t kill.

The last skill. The final one. I don’t wanna say goodbye. And yet my kin comes in not brimming with courage But tear stricken and terrified fallen to his knees As the idea of facing the man who started this truly hits.

“I don’t want to do this, Shade. I can’t. I’m not ready. I’m just one man what can I do against someone with the power to manipulate A whole world of people into destroying ours.” Shocked, I kneel down beside him.

“Breath child. You have time to breathe here. It is not an easy task or one that should be forced on teens. But I will teach you one more trick to defeat him with And You. WIll. Succeed. I have no doubt about that.”

“Now stand Hero. I need to show you the Great Spin.” Getting back on his feet as he wipes away his last tears His descendant smiles ready to continue, Reminded that he’s never been alone.

Careful teaching of the last skill Ends in a descendant ready to earn their title of Hero And a Shade ready to pass With one final sentence:

“Go and do not falter, my Child!”

Fire and Ice and.....Bait

(Whumptober Day 26(Alt): Used as Bait - WIld)

TW: Violence, Falling from high distances, rude use of an unconscious body

Hidden between leaves, High above the camp. Monsters of all kinds walking about. And one idea, one to save the day.

Pulling out an arrow with a flame at ti’s tip And an icy arrow cold to the touch. He had told Wars about this idea ages ago. It’s only now that he has the chance to try it.

One chance for it to work. One chance to show his skills. Bringing up his bow He remembers how long he has been memorizing this.

Constantly watching the Yiga’s use of smoke bombs. He wondered if he could recreate that with his ice and fire arrows. He just needs to hit the ice with his fire and create a mist of ice. As long as the mist comes up the chain can come in undetected.

With two arrows he could keep his team safe And make this a success. But….He’s never done this. Never tried out two different elementally aligned arrows.

Taking his stance to fly with Revali, Wild prepares himself For a once in a lifetime opportunity. As he flies with Revali’s skill, time slows. The brush of the string from his bow against his cheek As his face lights up with a cold blue and fiery red.

Aiming for the middle of the camp He shoots. Flying fast before they stick into the ground. There’s a spark and a chill of ice before Nothing. Not a single reaction. As if the two negated each other.

And yet everyone in the camp saw. Within seconds a wave of arrows head into the sky. He might be dexterous But even he can’t survive against a wall of arrows coming for his face.

Falling to the ground, He can only hope That the others will be okay. Splat. An unconscious hero for the taking. And they know the perfect way to use them.

Tying their new prisoner to a long stick. They use the blood ridden man As a lighthouse for more heroes. They’d never leave one of their own to suffer. Not like this.
