omg hi!! well let me think

my taste in music is like. very mixed. In my playlist you will find rock, pop, vocaloid, electronic, cumbias, damn even phonk. My only rule: it sounds good and has an addictive rhythm

big fan of animals! since a toddler i stayed in my parents room watching animal planet or any channel nature related

i daydream a lot. and when i say a lot i refer to literally staying hours just staring a single wall thinking about a story or something i like. A bad habit that i got from being too much time in one place when traveling lol

[oathena11-writes]

Hi, don't know if you remember me or not, but we talked when you first made the announcement that you were going on hiatus cause of harassment and you just needing a break in general.

Anyways! I just wanted to check in and ask how you're doing, and let ya know that someone out here was thinking about you and misses ya!

Oh! Thank you. I’m doing great. I just posted my fourth fic since the hiatus.

I wasn’t sure how much the break would help, but when I went to post the first one, there was no dread, no anxiety. Not like it was before at all. It was such a relief and I’m happy to be posting fic again!

Still not sure what to use this tumblr for though lol.

I’ve been spending my time with an event I help run in a discord server called the Castle Cafe. The event is for creative types to encourage all creativity including writing whole also encouraging a creativity-life balance so we’re not breaking ourselves to hit our goals. The theme for this month is called Sand and Secrets.

I’m also preparing for this weekend-OHHOW’s weekend of writing wildly. It’s fifty hours of streaming. A bunch of writing streamers on twitch take two hour streaming slots for a total of 25 streams and raid into the next on the schedule until they hit fifty hours. OHHOW is One hundred hours of writing as their event in November is one hundred hours of streaming with 50 streams.

I’m volunteering with the event. I don’t stream but there are other ways to help and I really enjoy it.

Sorry to ramble there, I’m just very excited and things are going surprisingly well this month overall!

Okay, so I've spent two days combing through the archive looking under the obvious tags, and I still can't find it. I've got a couple more ideas of where to look though, so I haven't quit yet. I did notice that a couple of my bookmarks were deleted works, so it might be gone for good sadly.

Febuwhump 2024, Day 8: Warriors, Wind & Chain - ALT Human Shield

Fandom: LOZ/Linked Universe

Summary: The bond between brothers was thick and unyielding between the nine heroes. Some were closer than others, some pretended not to be close, some wore their feelings on their sleeves towards the others. Warriors just wished that the bond didn’t make you throw yourself in front of danger and become the living human shield just so the other wouldn’t get hurt, or in Warriors case, die. He was never going to forgive himself for what happened.

CW: Blood, injury, temp MC death

Shoutout to @spookypanda04 for helping me out on a good ending. Thank you!!

The bond between brothers was thick and unyielding between the nine heroes. Some were closer than others, some pretended not to be close, some wore their feelings on their sleeves towards the others.

There was no doubt that Warriors and Time were close and already brotherly towards each other, even if Time was still called the little brother between them. A story they hadn’t told yet.

Warriors had not quite the same relationship with Wind, since Wind at his current age hadn’t been in Warriors War yet, but the two were still close. Warriors was glad to see that his blue scarf wrapped around the younger still worked on him even if Wind didn’t know how many times he had done that to him during the war.

It still worked on Time too on those night’s where he looked much older than he was.

Warriors just wished that the bond didn’t make you throw yourself in front of danger and become the living human shield just so the other wouldn’t get hurt, or in Warriors case, die. He was never going to forgive himself for what happened, or forget the image of Wind’s bloody smile and how it splattered onto his clothes and skin as the kid coughed.

Warriors knew where everyone on the field was as they fought against Bulblins from Twilight’s era. Four, Wind and Sky were to his far left taking down a swarm of the monsters easily. Time and Legend were ahead of him and more centered on the field. Twilight, Hyrule and himself were off to the right, leaving Wild at the moment up on high ground provided by a small cliff so he could snipe missed monsters or to call out new threats.

From the tree line came a blaring horn and stomping hooves. The cavalry had arrived, charging from the wood line right where Warriors and the other two were fighting. Unable to move out of the way fast enough, Warriors shoulder guard got hooked by one of the Bullbos that were trying to herd the heroes to the center of the fight.

Sword still in hand, Warriors thrusted it through the creature's neck, nearly going deaf from its dying roar. He hastily stood, colliding weapons with the Bulblin that had fallen from the dead stead. These were more of a challenge to fight, but manageable.

Up strike, down strike, swipe right, jab. A few repeats and the monster went down, but where one fell another took its place. As if fighting something over double his height wasn’t bad enough, Wild let out a high pitch whistle to warn them all of a new threat.

Archers lined the front of the field, fire arrows nocked and drawn back. Warriors had lost his shield somewhere in the process of being dragged, but he spotted it only twenty feet away. He could make it. There was no other choice.

“TAKE COVER!!” he ordered so the others knew too what was headed their way.

Sliding the last few feet, he snatched his shield, bringing it to prevent the oncoming arrows that had just been shot. There was one problem. The Bullbo was charging him head on. He wouldn’t be able to block arrows and fight this horrid looking beast. Warriors looked up to the sky, arrows rushing towards the ground, choosing to bring his shield up and crouch behind it. Two arrows were embedded in his shield as others pierced the ground around him.

The roar of monsters falling from the bombardment of arrows was coming from every direction, though his attention was on the Bullbo that was right in front of him. The rideable creature collapsed at a full sprint, throwing its rider through the air, ramming into the Captain and bringing him to the ground in the most horrific way.

Warrior hollered out in agonizing pain as the beast landed on top of him, his back against one of the few downed trees. He felt the shattering of the bones in both of his legs and hips, bone even breaking through the skin. He continued to scream after the monster disappeared into a dark puff of smoke. He tried to move, wanting to access the damage. His eyes were blown wide in fear when he couldn’t move. It wasn’t the fact that he couldn’t move, it was that he suddenly couldn’t feel his legs. He couldn’t feel anything from his low back down. In shock from the realization that he was in fact paralyzed, in the middle of a battle, the pain of it was put to the back of his mind. His ears were rigging beyond what they would be if he was standing next to a cannon going off and his breath was coming out in short puffs of air.

The sky turned dark as a second batch of arrows filled it. Warriors saw it, saw his death coming and accepted it because there was no way he could protect his head, torso and the rest of himself. He honestly didn’t think he could pick up his shield in the first place. ‘What an honorable way for a soldier to go.’ He thought to himself as he laid his head back on the log, eyes closed, waiting for impact. The impact that he got was not of arrows, but a body covering him. Arms wrapped around his neck and shoulders, his head against their chest and he took in the scent of the ocean’s salt.

Wind…

There was no time to react, to push him away or throw a shield over him. Warriors couldn’t even reverse it to protect him. He could feel when the arrows met their mark. Wind’s back bowed, hands grabbing at Wars scarf. If he made a sound, Warriors didn’t hear it due to the blood rushing past his ears.

In the distance there were explosions. More than likely from Wild pulling off one of his time manipulation tricks with his bow and bomb arrows, but Wars wasn’t paying attention to the victory of the battle. He was looking wide eyed at the young boy- no- he was looking at the young man that potentially just gave his life for him.

“Wind? Wind!”

The Captain had never been more grateful for the ability to read lips that was taught to all the soldiers in his era. Hey would have missed Wind saying, “It’s okay. I-it’s okay.”

Not believing what was happening, he placed a hand on either cheek of the one still hovering over him, desperately wanting this to be a nightmare. “Wind, why? Why would you do this?”

“We are brothers. Brothers save each other.”

Wind began to cough and wheeze as Wars hearing came back. A stream of red liquid drizzled from the Sailor’s parted mouth. Coughing made it splatter thickly on Warriors clothes and the bare skin of his neck and face. Uselessly he tried removing the blood from the younger’s chin, only to smear it across his left cheek.

Pushing himself to his feet, Wind took a stumbling step back, allowing Warriors to now see the four arrows that ran through the other, tips dripping the same red that was coming from his mouth. “Love ya Wars.” Wind smiled and fell backwards with one last staggered step backwards. The shafts of the arrows broke, but only after pushing through a bit more.

Despite the pain in his back, the fire that started in the nearby dead grass growing closer, the monsters still attacking, Warriors got to his side, then his stomach. He tried to use his arms and abdominal muscles to crawl, but he found that only from his chest up was fully functional. He didn’t care. He was going to make it over to his downed brother’s side.

Clawing at the blades of grass and cracked dirt, he dragged his mangled body closer. With each pull of his arms he let out a holler, but he didn’t stop. He bit down on his lip, nearly biting through it to get his mind to focus only on this one task. Reaching where he needed to be, he cupped Wind’s cheek to move his head towards him so he could see the young face. His eyes were barely open.

“Wind?” He placed his middle and ring finger against the pulse point at the youngest hero’s neck. “No. No no nonono- NO!! Wind? Come on Sailor, open your eyes. Wind please!”

He shook the child’s shoulders enough that his head tossed from side to side. He moved the bleached curls framing his face away, planting a firm kiss to the tanned forehead. He choked on the sob that was building up in his chest. What was the point in holding it in? Warriors buried his face into his youngest brother’s neck and shoulder, ignoring the triangular blades threatening to go into his own skin and let out the most heart wrenching scream.

“LIINK!!”

He continued to weep where he laid partly on top of the departed child until hands started prying him away. He clung tighter, but then a hand grabbed his hip to pull him back and he screamed for a whole new reason. The searing pain was more prominent now that his adrenaline was doused.

“StopstopSTOP! ” he screamed again, placing his hand against his low back.

Warmth of magic covered where his hand was. “Dear gods… His spinal cord is severed.” Hyrule announced.

He sucked in a needed breath and looked up at Time who was now cradling his head between his hands, thumbs stroking the tears away. “S-save him… please, save him before helping me.” The looks he got from Time and Hyrule were grim. “Try, at least try!”

“Okay, okay, we will try.” Hyrule hopped over him to get to Wind’s side, Twilight and Wild replaced his spot.

“Cap?” Time asked in a slightly panicked tone. “Need you to stay awake for us. Cap? Warri- L-k?” Wars gave into the shock, images blurring into swirls of colors until all he saw was black.

Waking up, Warriors tried to slowly filter in the sounds, smells and sights of his surroundings. A fire was crackling in the center of camp, food being cooked by their talented chef. Off to the side, Hyrule was passed out, half lying in Legend’s lap. The Vet was looking down at him while carding his fingers through brown curls. Four was cleaning weapons near the fire, keeping Wild company. Sky was on his side, back to the camp, Wolfies head laid on the Skyloftian’s. Right beside him was Time, sketching or writing in his journal.

Something wasn’t right as he looked over their faces. They were all red eyes as if they had been crying, gazes turned downwards and no one was speaking. What had happened? He looked at them all again. There were only seven, plus him. Where’s- Wind!! His eyes snapped open. Wind was- Wind had-

Wind had died. Wind was dead. They were mourning Wind all because he had to wind up hurt during a battle.

He let out the smallest sound of lament for the young man that died a hero. That sound caught Time’s attention. “Wars, welcome back.”

“Sprite?” The sturdy Captain’s chin quivered as his eyes welled with tears. “I didn’t ask him to, I didn’t want him to. I-I couldn’t do anything about it. He was suddenly there and I couldn’t protect him. Time, I couldn’t stop it from happening.”

“Shhh, it’s okay.”

“Why did he do that?” Warriors hiccupped around a cry. “Why did he do that for me? He shouldn’t have done that!”

“Wars, slow down-”

“He’s dead and it’s my fault!”

“Warriors, stop. Link!”

Warriors stopped and looked up, waiting to be told that it was his fault, that he should have done something. He was waiting for a scolding, to be reprimanded physically in any way the eldest felt like he deserved. It was the way in his era, but it never came. Only a gentle, calloused hand was laid on top of his head, fingers scratching at his scalp. Confusion was clear on his face.

Time gave a sad smile, knowing what Warriors was expecting. “Wind is alive.”

“What?” Did he hear correctly?

“Hyrule got him back.”

Warriors looked at the sleeping Healer. There were dark bags under his eyes, skin a bit pale. His magic was drained. It was drained from saving their youngest member. He let his head thud against the hand still placed where it had been.

“Can you wiggle your toes?” Time asked, then smirked some when Warriors did so. “Go slow and easy for now. Hyrule went through hell getting you two back. Don’t ruin it. Want us to bring Wind over here?”

He could cry for a whole new reason now and was on the verge as he looked at Sky who was carrying a Wind Burrito, swaddled in the blue scarf that he loved to steal away.

“He only would calm down when he had your scarf.” Sky told him with a fond smile as he oh so carefully laid Wind down, pillowing his head on Wars arm. Wind sighed and moved closer to him.

For the second time that day, Warriors buried his face into Wind’s neck. He whispered the response he hadn’t had the chance to before, “Love ya too, Wind.”

20 questions for fic writers

I was tagged by a couple of people and I can't remember who, but thank you guys!!!

1. How many works do you have on A03?

18

2. What's your total A03 word count?

165,660 and 140k of that is from just this year!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Legend of Zelda and Linked Universe, although I do have one Ao No Exorcist/Blue Exorcist manga fic that isn't finished yet and I plan to finish at some point. I have a Sonic the Hedgehog AU too but that isn't published and is only for me.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Recharge

For the Want of a Breath (surprised this one is so high on the list)

Hyrule and Wild Have a Hard Time (My personal Fave)

LU Whump Dump

Secret of the Sea Cave (Beats out Yukio Turn on the Light by 1 kudos)

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

Most of them yes. I tend to save up comments and answer like 20 of them in a day to save time/energy.

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

That's gotta be Yukio Turn on the Light for sure (it's a story about a suicidal boy being talked back from the brink by his dead dad in order to prevent Satan from taking over the world), although Ghost Story will have a very angsty ending too (story about nine ghosts that need help making peace with their regrets so they can pass into the afterlife).

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

Mmmm... that would be my FMA:B fic Actually I'm Not Sorry which is an epilogue to the manga/anime

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really hate but I've gotten a couple critical comments here or there. On Recharge I've gotten quite a few "Where's the rest of this fic? Hurry up and write it B(&%^" or variations of that. That's why I abandoned it.

9. Do you write smut?

🤢🤮oh heck no

10. Do you write crossovers?

Never. I don't like the foods on my plate to touch so to speak.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of. I probably wouldn't know if it was.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I've podficed one.

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

No. When I was a kid I used to co-write original stories with my sister though.

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

Merthur (Arthur and Merlin from the Merlin TV show). Also Sam & Jack from Stargate SG1

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

The Sign of the Wolf is an unpublished hibernating WIP that is a long and meandering story about a depressed post LU Wild making peace with the loss of his 8 brothers after their adventure together ended. The main premise is that each of the other Links hid care packages around his Hyrule and Wild has to go on a scavenger hunt to find them.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue comes easily to me and characterizations as long as I can figure out what makes each character think.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue tags are annoying. So are boring scenes and transition scenes. And I'm terrible about knowing what things to shorten/cut out of the story.

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

Uhhh I have no thoughts? This hasn't really come up much except for sign language.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Well if you count my very first story ever I wrote at age 9 which was a Lord of the Rings superhero AU, then LotR. Otherwise, it was Sonic the Hedgehog.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

I gotta say: Skulltula and Thunder.
