#the hourglass au

[pacificwaternymph]

I have created like two aus in just as many days but the thought occurred to me:

What if Scott knew his life was connected to Xornoth's long before the battle that sealed him in a crystal?

What if he knew he was going to die, one way or the other? What if he resigned himself to his fate, convinced himself that his sacrifice was for the greater good?

What if he sat alone at night, contemplating if he should just end it now and put an end to the misery of his people, only to back out and continue to pretend that defeating Xornoth in combat was the only way to defeat them, because he's afraid to die?

What if he thought himself selfish for repeatedly postponing the inevitable just so he could live one day more?

What if he couldn't sleep, plagued by the thoughts of what would happen to his friends when he was gone? To Jimmy? What if he doubted if they would celebrate him as a hero, or if they would think him terribly cruel for forcing them into this hell just because he couldn't accept what he knew was always coming?

What if Pixl could see Scott's candles dimming with each respawn, and knew that soon, the flames would forever go out?

“Link? Oh yeah, Niko’s kid. Can always find him hanging around Alfonzo’s place to watch him work on the trains that stop by. He’s a nice kid, but he sure talks to himself a lot… Sometimes, seems like he’s actually responding to someone, but that ridiculous. No one else is there...”

LU Star Wars AU: Part 2

feeling very validated by the fact that people like this SO LETS CONTINUE

Next up, Four and Wind!

PART 1

Four

A droidsmith and technician by trade, he and his grandfather run a shop dedicated to repairing ships. However, Four is also skilled enough to make his own technology out of parts when he sets his mind to it, and as a result he has expanded his skill set to making and repairing droids, and he's even learned how to forge and repair most kinds of weapons.

When Four was young, he met an older man named Ezlo and learned how to make droids in the brief time Four knew him. Four has made hundreds of tiny miniature droids in the years since, and is very fond of all of them. (Four named his first one EZ-10.) Ezlo also taught Four how to meditate and attune himself to his surroundings, but it wasn't until much later that Four learned that these were actually basic Jedi training techniques— and with that, the fact that Ezlo may have been a Jedi, and that Four himself had the ability to use the Force.

Four has no interest in having a lightsaber, and claims he has better weapons of his own suited to him. Vaati showed up shortly after Ezlo, and he causes problems for him and his grandfather. Four was also friends with Shadow until his death at Vaati’s hands.

Wind

Wind is young, but like Legend he has spent much of his life traveling across the galaxy, and he feels most at home in his small spaceship, the King of Red Lions.

Wind originally got his start as a crewmember of the famous intergalactic pirate Tetra of the Outer Rim territories as a way to rescue his sister Aryll after she was wrongly arrested by the Empire. He then later traveled on Linebeck's ship not long after parting ways with Tetra. Wind found** the Red Lion during his adventures, and has been traveling the galaxy with it since. He's still close friends with Tetra.

Wind is very in tune with the Force, especially spirits, and better learned how to use his abilities when he was traveling with Linebeck. He doesn’t have a saber, but he still has a weapon or two of his own and plenty of tricks up his sleeves.

I’m probably gonna redo links design bc like. He looks like he’s lounging around in a bathrobe. Link: The Hero of Bathrobes

[valgeristik]

revisiting the modern au now that ive gotten to know them better🫡

more info + some elaborations under the cut <3

Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundraiser List

E-sims donation

^ this is from my very first post on the topic, and i still think most of this applies. maybe i went too far with the architect part tho but it was funny in the moment

But this is what i mean by calling him 'man with every job'. it was really funny to me how he does many errands for people all over the place in the games, and i want this to translate. hence, he's the guy who can fix your broken chair. and build a shed. and drive. etc. most useful neighbor to have

what field did he get a PhD in, u ask? entomology. he was like 'man, i wish i could get paid for lookign at bugs all day'. and well...

if u really think about it, ull see my vision

As for Zelda... I think she spent a lot of time being pressured by her father to get the best grades n nothing less, and then to get into a good college etc, leading to many nervous breakdowns and other. Issues.

By the time she's about 23 the relationship becomes less strained, there's less pressure from his side, and in any case it was fine, really, he just wanted a good future for her, really, so- Point is, she wants to keep a good relationship with her father despite All That. Link still fucking hates the guy tho If her dad is the only one getting burnt food at the new years party, it was an accident and no one can prove anything <3

and i think she'd be in the engineering field. it just. feels right i dont think theyre actually married. yet

English version here

¡Hola!

Este post será una especie de guía de los 12 Links que conforman la historia. No especificaré sus edades exactas, sino un aproximado.

Puedes leer la trama aquí

Aventuras: Skyward Sword

Edad: 20-21 [Joven adulto]

Ahora vive tranquilamente con Zelda en la superficie, donde ha encontrado la felicidad en una vida pacífica.

Pasa sus días ayudando a Zelda, tocando música o tallando madera.

Aunque ya no tiene en su poder la Espada Maestra, suele visitar el lugar de descanso de Fi, aunque nunca reciba una respuesta.

Aventuras: The Minish Cap

Edad: 11-12 [Niño]

Después de sellar a Vaati, ya no empuña la Four Sword.

No dejes que su juventud o pequeña estatura te engañen; subestimarlo sería un error.

De corazón bondadoso, honesto y dulce, nunca duda en ayudar a quien lo necesite.

Es el más joven (y el más bajo) del grupo.

Aventuras: Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask

Edad: 20-21 [Joven adulto]

Tras salvar Hyrule y Termina, ahora vive como un viajero y ayuda en el Rancho Lon Lon.

A pesar de todo lo que ha enfrentado, nunca ha dejado de buscar a Navi.

Está considerando unirse a la Guardia Real.

Aún no lo entiende del todo, pero tiene un pequeño enamoramiento por Malon, su amiga de la infancia.

Aventuras: Wind Waker & Phantom Hourglass

Edad: 13-14 [Adolescente]

Pasa gran parte de su tiempo explorando nuevos lugares con Tetra y siempre regresa con regalos para su hermanita.

Es el más expresivo y hablador de todos.

Le gusta unirse a los demás cuando tocan música.

Aventuras: Spirit Tracks

Edad: 13-14 [Adolescente]

Es físicamente muy parecido al Héroe de los Vientos.

Tan pronto como New Hyrule estuvo a salvo, finalmente pudo dedicarse a su pasión: los trenes.

Suele ser muy olvidadizo y algo distraído. Su constante cansancio por el trabajo no ayuda, pero a pesar de eso, realmente lo disfruta.

Aventuras: Twilight Princess

Alias: Bestia de Ojos Azules, Héroe del Crepúsculo Edad: 19-21 [Joven adulto]

Extraña profundamente a Midna, más que a nada ni nadie.

Tras sus aventuras, regresó a Ordon, donde se dedica a cuidar animales y velar por sus amigos.

Lleva consigo una espada todo el tiempo, por si acaso.

Aventuras: Four Swords/Adventures (Combinados)

Edad: 13-15 [Adolescente]

Es quien más recientemente terminó su aventura; estaba en camino de devolver la Four Sword a su pedestal, pero terminó junto a los demás antes de poder hacerlo.

Hijo de un caballero, era un soldado en entrenamiento antes de embarcarse en su misión para derrotar a Vaati.

La Four Sword ha tenido algunos efectos secundarios misteriosos en él...

Aventuras: A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons & Ages, Link’s Awakening

Edad: 17-19 [Adolescente]

Suele llevar una flor, no porque le gusten particularmente, sino porque le recuerdan a Marin.

Tras su viaje a la isla Koholint, finalmente tomó un descanso de buscar aventuras; necesitaba tiempo para procesar todo lo que había vivido.

Pasa sus días cuidando su colección de artefactos.

Aventuras: A Link Between Worlds & Tri Force Heroes

Edad: [Adolescente]

Comparte con Wild el gusto por la ropa y tiene una docena de atuendos ridículos para cada ocasión.

Conserva con cariño el brazalete que le regaló Ravio; al final, aprendió a apreciar al avaro conejo cobarde.

Es animado y tiene un sentido del humor peculiar. De todos, es quien mejor se ha adaptado al trabajo en equipo.

Aventuras: Zelda I & Zelda II

Edad: 16-18 [Adolescente]

Tiene dificultades para bajar la guardia y relajarse, producto de vivir en un Hyrule hostil y enfrentar amenazas constantes.

Prefiere usar magia y hechizos, pero no duda en demostrar que es un espadachín formidable.

Aunque no lo diga en voz alta, para él convertirse en un hada es probablemente lo más divertido que hay.

Aventuras: Hyrule Warriors

Edad: 20-21 [Joven adulto]

De todo el grupo, probablemente sea quien mejor comprende la situación que están enfrentando; para él, es extrañamente familiar.

En el pasado, permitió que el exceso de confianza y ego casi le costaran la vida, y está decidido a que no vuelva a suceder.

Puede parecer arrogante al principio, pero no es más que una broma; en los momentos serios, es sensato y se preocupa profundamente por todos.

Actualmente, dedica su vida a su carrera militar.

Aventuras: Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom

Alias: Campeón Hylian, Campeón de Hyrule, Héroe Edad: 20-23 [Joven adulto]

A los cuatro años ya era un espadachín prodigio, capaz de vencer a caballeros entrenados.

Amaba silenciosamente a Mipha, viendo en ella un alma amable que lo amaba por quien era, no por su destino como héroe. Lamentablemente, nunca tuvieron la oportunidad de confesarse sus sentimientos.

Tras despertar, se volvió mucho más hablador y expresivo. Aunque aún carga con la culpa de sus amigos caídos y su reino destruido, ya no siente el aplastante peso de las expectativas del mundo sobre él.

Gracias por leer

[mirensiart]

I love your Pain Share AU! As for the whole nightmare sharing thing Wind would be a great candidate for it. He has the trauma from Killing a man as a Child and the whole advice as a whole, plus him not wanting the others to think he's 'weak' and such. I love this AU and think it has SO much potential. Also, your art is so pretty and makes me smile whenever it graces my eyes. Another thing is that many people headcannon (not sure if it's true) that Winds second adventure was in a dream similar to Legends and Koholint from Links Awaking.

(Sorry for the word vomit I just have a lot to say :D)

OOH YES!

as a windy girlie I like wind angst a lot lol especially with the fact that how he kills ganondorf is brutal af (and that whole fight in general tbh like ganondorf literally hitting him into unconsciousness pre battle and then wind collapsing and being supported by tetra post battle...my son 🥺) would absolutely traumatize him

I can def see him getting nightmares about it! That and the whole "wind doesn't have the hero's spirit thing" angst is delicious and I can see him having nightmares over being left behind by the others cause he "doesn't belong" lol

Oough it's been AGES since I played phantom hourglass, but I do remember that by the end what happened with the ghost ship didn't really happen? Or something like that?? 🤔 so I can see the koholint relation

I do like wind + legend bonding, especially since they've been so grumpy to each other in the lu comic lol like boys chill and bond ok

[pacificwaternymph]

At some point I'm gonna have to start thinking about my next longfic after the Wolf Mother is finished.

I'll probably make an official poll at some point to decide but the options so far are:

Finish A Tale of Two Champions

Ocean Knight Ren

To Whom it May Concern (Fake Fic Title)

Deaf Scott AU

The Reimagining of Lizzie and Joel's first meeting (This one)

The Hourglass

This isn't official or anything, whatever you say now probably won't have any impact on what I choose to write next. But... I am curious to see what the general consensus is.

[lilyblossom-art]
