I Know Those Eyes (Closed)

@paragonofvirtue

Whether it was an act of bravery or pure stupidity, Angel had no clue. But one thing was certain, the gloom that consumed the land was growing and was treating to come to destroy her home village. She had heard rumors of the source if the destruction, this “Demon King” was currently in the village in search to rebuild his army. So that’s where she’d go.

Packing what little they could spare, and mounting her companion Orion, the you Hylian woman left promising to return of good news, stop the gloom entirely, or die trying.

The trek across Hyrule was easy enough. Familiar turf, easy access to resupply. But once she found herself at the border of the desert. She felt an uneasy feeling in her stomach. This was it. But she had no other choice and they moved onward.

Despite moving in the cool of night, Angel found herself depleting of her supplies and with no grass or water for miles, what little she had, she gave to Orion. He carried her this far after all. She could bear the hunger pains.

Unfortunately, the dehydration, she could not bear with and would find herself passed out underneath a large stone. Dragging her in the direction of the shade and huddling her for warmth at night, Orion did the best he could to try and wake her. But to no avail.

That was till she showed up.

She was simply on route for finding fruits for her stand but when she found the passed out Hylian and deer like mount lying beside her. No one came out this far, much less a Hylian due to the risk of their King returning. But, she couldn’t leave the two to die. So, after a gentle convincing with some extra fruit for the deer, Nisiki picked up the burnt thin thing and placed her in her cart. Hiding her under a blanket.

It was hard to convince the other about the creature but the story about it simply being spooked from its heard seemed to work for now and was taken in. But the transfer of the outsider to her home was a whole other ordeal. But not an impossible one.

After a gentle cleaning, thorough skincare treatment to help with her burns, and a gentle helpful drink of water, she let the outsider rest. Hoping she would wake.

She would pretty soon and after the shock wore down, the two would become fond friends as Angel recovered. That was all about to change however. And it would change for the worse when the guards bursted in out of nowhere and took Angel and Nisiki to the throne room to be questioned by the King himself.

Angel on her knees, bowed low to the floor, trying hard to avoid his gaze as her friend did her best to defend her and explain the situation when asked.

you’ve heard about linksmeet aus before, but today I bring you a LINKLES MEET AU

✨WELCOME TO THE LINKLE-VERSE✨

basically, an au that asks the question of: what if each Link had a Linkle counterpart? The Linkles don’t necessarily share a spirit, but they do share one thing, aka GETTING LOST! So lost in fact they end up in different eras lmao what’s better than this, just gals being pals trying to find their way back home amiright lmao

it all starts with Fauna (botw/totk!Linkle) following a story about Zelda’s whereabouts for the Lucky Clover Gazette and falling down a suspicious portal accidentally. She ends up in another era and another time, and pairs up with the local Linkle to find a way back home (though jumping through time will absolutely make a great story for the Lucky Clover!) what happens next will (not) surprise you (they get lost again and find themselves in another era, find the local Linkle and…rinse and repeat lmao)

👇 small notes and translation of their names down below 👇

they’re all sapphics cause like, I’m sapphic and I say so lol

the OG Linkle aka the one from hyrule warriors, is nicknamed atenea

fauna has no idea her coworker (botw/totk!link) is THE link everyone is looking for, cause I think it’s funny that he has the Tony Hawk syndrome lmao

hada dies to ganondorf’s forces while protecting oot!zelda in all timelines except the child timeline

brisa hates ww!link’s guts and refers to him as her sworn arch nemesis but it’s all one sided cause ww!link couldn’t care less about her lmao he keeps finding rare treasure and getting his hands on treasure maps, ITS NOT FAIR !

rosa is like brock from pokemon aka her eyes are always closed lmao

ocaso has a bitch resting face but is actually a sweetheart, she feeds the cats in castle town every day

linka is a traveling merchant in hyrule, while rava travels lorule. they both have had encounters with ravio in lorule/hyrule and hate him, they’re competitors lol the hatred is mutual though ravio hates them too since they keep stealing Mr Hero’s patronage from him lol

I like to imagine peregrina has stumbled upon loz/al!link a couple of times but has no idea who he is, like just a weird traveling kid lmao

alma likes trains and aspires to be a royal engineer like st!link but she also dreams of eventually being the captain of a steamboat lol

ever since she split, colores talks in plural sometimes

capa is mc!link’s cousin aka they both have the same grandpa :)

the translations of their names are:

Cielo = sky

Capa = cape

Hada = fairy

Rosa = rose or pink

Brisa = breeze

Ocaso = twilight

Linka is just Linka lol same with Rava

Colores = colors

Alma = spirit or soul

Fauna = same in English

Peregrina = pilgrim

Song: A Promise That I Keep (alt.version) by Lisa Knapp

[mxthbladed]

Vaggie has many habits- one of many is that on Friday, before the end of the work day, she cleans and sharpens her spear. It was something ingrained in her from her military training. So, if anyone needs her, well, she's in the lobby with her spear across her lap, carefully sharpening it.

A clean, sharp weapon is a good weapon.

[fwoosheye]

*sighs* Not again

Okay so it's another LU idea and can someone please adopt it so it will leave me alone? Anyone? I have too many projects already. Someone please save me!

Anyway. This is a "Legend is the last one to join the chain" idea. He was practically raised by Fi after he pulled the Master Sword for the first time (was it @bokettochild who came up with that? I know I've read some really good fics with that but I'm not sure I remember by who correctly. Please correct me if I've mixed people up), and it takes place on Lorule's Death Mountain. Link is a regular at the Treacherous Tower, because it's an easy way to earn money and with the Triforce restored the monsters aren't as mindless as before so he actually befriends them (though I hc the monsters in the T-Tower were the least mindless to begin with (at least the ones in the audience, maybe the ones one fights were caught mindless ones), probably around the level of Blind the Ex-Sage the Thief, and that they just became more "stable" and better att communicating when the Triforce was restored). Anyway when the story takes place, Link is actually filling in for the final boss because the Purple Moldorm is sick and their new Union demands sick time or something.

When the chain appears in Lorule it's fairly near the T-Tower and when they ask the Devilish Girl about the Hero and learn he's the final boss, they realize someone will have to get up there and defeat him for his shift to end. She will only let one of them enter, so Sky, Warriors or Wild traverse the Tower with the Master Sword in hand (and I'd pick one of those three because they're aware of Fi's presence. Wild might be post-TotK Wild).

When Sky/Wars/Wild finally makes it to Legend there's some brief chatting, and when they attempt to attack each other they simultaneously get their hands burned and Legend accidentally hisses an undignified "Mom!" at Fi making the other Hero realise this teen was practically raised by a sword (and yes this is the scene that gives me the urge to write this, please save me). It becomes a sword-less battle, because Legend shift won't end if he's not defeated and his (magical?) contract don't permit him to hold back more than making it non-leathal. Tri-Force Heroes might've taken place before ALBW for this fic so Legend actually can use doppels/doppel medallion/etc so there 3v1 for a bit. Surprising move from Sky/Wars/Wild eventually sees Legend defeated and he meets the rest of the chain. He probably offers to guide them to the Castle to talk with Princess Hilda, if it doesn't turn out they've managed to get the information they want from the monsters on the audience while they watched. Maybe the chain are chatting about different friendly/civil monsters they've met during their adventures while descending the mountain. And/or Sky/Wars/Wild asks Legend why he addressed his sword as mom.

And because I am utterly incapable of keeping a story idea short, I was also considering to make it so Link is stuck in Lorule because the bracelet only had enough power left to send one of them home to Hyrule and both Link and Princess Hilda agreed Princess Zelda should be the one to return. Ravio would in that case likewise be stuck in Hyrule because he didn't have enough magic. He had probably managed to sneak into Hyrule's Sacred Realm trying to go home and met Zelda as she came back so he knew Link had won, though he might've left before Zelda made her wish (or even woke up?) and thinks Lorule and Link is gone. Maybe. It has some sweet juicy angst potential to let Ravio think his home and hero are destroyed. But also including this would for sure make it a longer fic...

@charredchesspiece In lieu of an inbox meme continued.

"Why, our distinguished members of court, who else?" Astor replies, hands held idly behind his back as the two lingered on the outskirts of festivities, men and women dressed in their finery, flouncing about like the little dolls they were.

"It's natural, I suppose, to be curious of newcomers. You are quite the novelty of the week—Sebastian, was it?"

starter for @sephaeroth , from Loz

Loz knew that hair, the same silver-white as his. He could already guess their eyes would be the same, or similar enough, once the other turned around. He felt a faint resonance in his chest, one he couldn't really put into words.

What he hadn't expected was where he'd found the other. He'd always imagined his eldest brother - or, the whole to his part? who he'd been created for? - somewhere high and cloudy. This place was quiet, and dark, without enough space over their heads.

"Hey," Loz still called out, brazen. "It's you, right? Sephiroth."

♫ Voice in my head says to keep on going Don't let 'em see you bleed, don't want your weakness showing Need you to see me If you could just believe me

Revali was currently sat up at the top of the village. He had just flown down from Van Medoh. He had needed some time alone. But here he sat, finding the moment to take in the silence around him, but filling it with his voice. Lost within the music, he hadn't noticed someone else around. Tell me that it'll all be fine Tonight if I don't reach up then how could it be mine? Need you to see me, and know what it's like to be me If you could just believe me ♫

first meetings sentences :: open

@agloryofuniicorns sent: "Well, that is an interesting way to say hello!" // Malon @... Sakuya! I know some things about Rune Factory 3; Sera's about... a... some way through the game playing it for me.

Finishing the pose after what was, likely, a rather cringey one-liner pun on a greeting- Sakuya returns to an upright position with attention on the farmgirl. There is only a small sweat drop but she's staying positive!

"Yeah?! Still workshopping details, but~ If you ask me, what good's a first impression if ain't something memorable! And like, in the good way. Obviously." The merchant plants her hands akimbo on her foreign attire, a matching smile blazing with a fire its own.

"Sakuya Arakane is the name!~ nice to meetcha! My family moved into the town nearby to open our inn. So I'm going around to meet the custo--I mean, locals!"

[vegalocity]

You know now that im thinking about it- how crazy is it that despite the very nature of the franchise enabling it- its actually quite rare to see people make their own LOZ iterations

Like- ive seen a million aus of existing games, and proposed sequel ideas, and of course Linked Universe, but- like- I don't think in my time lurking in the fandom ive ever ONCE seen a 'this is my personal iteration'

[sokkas-first-fangirl]

howd ya come up with dragon links design in Iridescent? super curious ::')

Wild dragon, my beloved. He will be given a name soon, I promise!

I basically thought “What colours suit Link?” and “What do I think looks cool?” and mashed them together!

I went through a few different ideas before settling on his final design. In the very early drafts, I considered keeping his scales white, but I wanted him to look very different from the three guardian dragons. I wanted Zelda (and anyone else who sees him up close) to immediately say “That’s not a goddess dragon”

So: forest green (Hero’s Green) for the expected colour of a Hero, a nod to Farore and the Faron region.

Sky-blue for Link’s eyes in his true form and for the Champions’ garb.

Gold for his hair, for the Triforce, for Courage and for Time magic.

Storm-grey as another nod to Farore, and for Farosh and the storms she summons. Storm-grey, like his mother and sister’s eyes.

Hints of midnight blue simply because I think it looks cool, I like the colour. It felt appropriately majestic.

And of course his eyes: gold pupils, silver sclera, bright blue irises, dotted with purple. All vibrant colours, all colours I thought would work well together, be striking and unusual. I kept the blue to hint as his true, Hylian self.

Unlike Farosh, Dinraal and Naydra, his colours don’t give his powers away, and I like that. He’s a lot darker in his colour scheme than the other three, which felt appropriate, considering the circumstances
