Racer! Link x Reader

CW: Smut, Minors DNI, I will block your ass, author knows nothing about racing and it shows

AN: Yes, this is about that Link. The one with the elf ears, says "Hyah!". Yeah I'm a Linked Universe Nerd. Sucks to be y'all. Keep ya guessing on which fandom has my balls this week.

~Darling XOXO

☾ So, I hesitated writing this for a number of reasons, but I decided I don't care. Hozier has a new song, April has me face down in the mattress with how hard it's fucked me and I just want to write about a Link near and and dear to my heart.

☾ Mario Kart Link.

☾ He's just a silly lil goober who's always having a good time. Especially when I play as him because what is second place? He'll never know.

☾ I know, canonically, both are Skyward Sword! Link and Breath of the Wild! Link. I do not care.

☾ Because come with me, sinner, as we explore a whole new world. A world where Mario Kart isn't a silly lil game. It's an empire.

☾ Like Fast and the Furious (I think, idk I never watched any of them). OR like sk8 the infinity at S. I do know that one.

☾ There are real things at stake here. It's intense, and it's heavy.

☾ Here, give me a break while I do some worldbuilding here. Mystery blocks are still a thing, they work by magic idk, except getting hit by one of those things is devastating. It's why the newcomers don't last long.

☾ All the main screen players (Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Inkling boy, etc.) are high level racers. They are A-listed and the ones you look out for if you see them in the lineup.

☾ Including Link himself. He drives a motorcycle he named Epona, which he built himself from scratch.

☾ I spent a lot of time (three minutes) trying to figure out a clever nickname for him, and then I saw some of the names other people gave their Linksona's and, while there's nothing wrong with them, I quickly realized I was overthinking things.

☾ It's mostly a stage name, his name is Link and outside of the raceway, he goes by it.

☾ But, for shits and giggles, and point of discerning him from the others, I don't care. Call him ratchet, greaser, racer, cypher, tank, axel, sparks. I'm giving you all the freedom! Me? Personally? I'm going to call him:

☾ Neo- a combining form meaning “new,” “recent,” “revived,” “modified,”

☾ Great I gave you some background, let's get into the fun parts.

☾ Neo, where do we begin with you.

☾ Have y'all read A Court of Mist and Fury? You know Rhysand?

☾ He's Cassian coded.

☾ LMAO You thought.

☾ He's a fun, kind-of guy but when shit gets real, he can shift from zero to a hundred like that.

☾ He'll be laughing with a newbie, patting them on the shoulder, but the second that visor comes down, he's unrecognizable. He's an A-lister for a reason.

☾ He's infamous for taking shortcuts that are insanely dangerous. He's almost always bandaged somewhere, but not his pretty boy, play bunny face.

☾ So Cassian and Lightning McQueen.

☾ He's totally the kind to shoot a wink and a flirty wave, spend the night and then be gone by morning. Or have them escorted out by his Zelda in the morning, Tony Stark style

☾ He's a slut.

☾ Can you tell I like my men slutty?

☾ And he's such a....character in bed.

☾ He's a selfish lover, but make no mistake about it. His partner gets their end. That's right. I said lover. He's fucked bowser.

☾ I'm kidding

☾ No I'm not.

☾ He doesn't care who's in his bed. Man, woman, the funky others who say FUCK YOU to the gender spectrum /pos

☾ He'll bottom, top, switch it up mid-way through. He just like me fr.

☾But he's not lazy. Selfish, yes, but lazy? No. He's the best rider both on and off Epona, yk yk.

☾ And he has such a pretty cock too. A pretty flushed pink, circumcised with such a lovely vein running up the bottom of it. And while pretty, sorry his balls aren't much to write home about.

☾ They are dangerously sensitive though. Suck on them and run your thumb along the head of his dick and he'll whimper.

☾ SPEAKING OF-

☾ He whimpers so nicely. God, when he's in the middle of bouncing up and down on you (artificial or organic both are good), and his own hands are running up his chest, plucking at his own pebbled nipples and playing with the piercings as his head is thrown back in pure bliss-

☾ He's probably sponsored by Monster Energy

☾ Has a sugar daddy FOR SURE. God wish I was HIM.

little bit of modern au (SPOILERS for the zelda game.)

[zoekrystall]

Got to all the dragon tear memories and noooo whyyyy did my guess with zelda doing it had to be right. More than dragon tears were shed oh dear hylia. Idk if I am just more emotional lately or if that close up with her dragon form crying got to me. She looks absolutely radiant as a dragon but whyyyyyyyyy. Idk if I like or hate it. It is interesting but my emotions </3 Let me at least get close to her as a dragon. I will fail but I will absolutely try to speed after her now.

Hero of the Dunes AU

(Ao3)

Link travels through the woods without a weapon, and then finds himself roped into a business deal

Chapter 4: The Worth of a Weapon

The first night out in the wild was… an adventure to say the least. Link was embarrassed that nothing actually happened.

He had been so prepared all night to be ambushed by the mysterious woman who attacked him in the Soul Temple, or to be jumped by monsters that every creaking branch and movement set his nerves on edge all over again.

It didn’t help that the roots and rocks and fallen branches of the area were always too close, despite the way he’d cleared out his sleeping area just the way he and Rift used to when they would stay outside to sleep on clear nights.

He hardly slept at all, and when the sun finally rose he dragged himself off of the ground and stared at the nearby stream in distaste for the morning.

Still, he washed up as well as he could before checking his rupee pouch for the millionth time just to make sure his little pink crystal was still hidden inside.

 Still there, right where I left it. Why does a part of me feel like it should’ve all been a dream? 

He sighed and pushed to his feet, much less enthusiastic for the day with the way his eyes burned.

When he reached the road, the grunting snuffles of monsters stopped him in his tracks. He backtracked into the bushes and peeked through the leaves.

Three bokoblins stood on the road, snuffling and pacing as though they were waiting for something.

 Voice said they’d be hunting me. 

The same thought from his sleepless night turned his blood to ice. They were waiting for him.

He clenched his teeth and backed further away. Foolish to know of such danger and not being a weapon of some kind… not that he had the rupees to afford something as expensive as a sword anyway.

Even his hunting bow or slingshot would be better than nothing at all.

His gaze caught on a good sized stick and he snatched it off the ground, deftly snapping off the unruly branches that would slow any attacks he was forced to make with the branch.

 This’ll have to do. Just have to hope I don’t run into any monsters. 

He crouched and worked his way quietly through the undergrowth, avoiding the road but still moving in the same direction.

He would make it to Kakariko today. There wouldn’t be any monsters in the town, so at least until he set out for the temple, he’d be safe.

Maybe he could find some weapon he could afford while he was there.

He grimaced even as he had the thought. His rupee pouch was notably light.

 Great. 

Link ducked behind a tree trunk just before the bokoblin in the bushes ahead turned to face his direction. His heart pounded in his chest and his head ached.

If he was out here in the open much longer, the monsters were bound to find him. Blocking the path to the village as they were, they were setting a trap where the moment he was spotted they could call an army down on his head.

He pressed a hand to his temple and worried his lower lip. Papa and Rift were always playing strategy games with him, half the adventures he and his brother pretended to go on involved battles and soldiers. He should be able to figure something out…

 If they’re trying to block me out of the town, then the bokoblins could be spread throughout the entirety of the forest. There may be no way around… 

That of course was the main issue, seeing as his weaponless state made avoid and evade the best tactics he could think of.

He shifted and pressed his back harder against the tree. He had to get to Kakariko, and he didn’t want a mob of monsters following him there.

He looked down at his feet where the stick in his hand dug into the earth near his toes. A few pebbles and stones scattered along the forest floor along with fallen branches and sprouting plants.

An idea popped into his head.

It was probably stupid. It was probably dangerous.

He leaned around the tree to peer at the bokoblin again, marking its location, then he knelt cautiously to pick up a small handful of stones.

 Mama’d kill me if she knew what I was about to do.  Without more thought on the matter than that, Link lobbed the handful into the green just beyond his hiding spot.

The bokoblin spun around like its whole body had been tugged.

Link ducked further behind the tree at the scattering of the pebbles. He clutched his branch tight and lifted it off the ground, holding it at the ready.

The bokoblin was moving toward him. Or more accurately, toward the noise he’d made beyond his hiding spot.

Link held his breath to keep the sound at bay in the pressing tension.

A second ticked by. Then another.

Then the bokoblin’s body came into view, sniffing at the air beyond his tree and completely clueless of the danger hiding just a foot away.

Link swung.

The monster only had a second to recognize the movement to its side as a threat before it was  thwacked  painfully over the head.

It grunted as its body fell limp to the floor. Link dropped down to check it over for weapons, but only found a small rusted dagger.

He grit his teeth, but he took it all the same.  Better than nothing. 

His heart pounded in his head. Told him to run, that monsters would be on his trail in seconds, even if his mind knew he’d successfully—and more importantly  quietly  —dealt with the threat.

Still he ended up jogging the rest of the way to the village. His head pounded with his lack of sleep and his exertion, but he stepped into the safe streets of Kakariko at last and his shoulders slumped in relief at the sight.

He’d only visited Kakariko on occasions, usually for festivals. Their neighboring town was much larger than their own. Booths lined one street, while carnival games that ran year round showed their tempting offers on brightly painted signs.

An inn and a grocery shop both hung their signs close to the entrance of the village, and there was so much space and likely a lot of traffic passing through this way, that he wouldn’t be surprised if there were two more on the other side of town.

The sound of cuccos drifted through the air along with the low and constant murmur of conversation.

He hesitated near the inn, but it was still light out, and… he pressed his fingers over his rupee pouch, but no more had magically appeared at his need.

Nevermind. Weapons were more important anyway.

He marched past the signs and toward the merchant alley instead, pausing at the sheer  volume  of booths. He’d expected it to be less on a regular day rather than a carnival, and while traffic was decreased, it wasn’t as much as he’d expected.

Kakariko was just all around huge.

A part of him wanted to explore. To go and try out the games and see what he could win. He kept himself on track instead, examining the stalls as he passed and shaking his head when pushy salesmen tried to draw him to their wares that he definitely  didn’t need .

He paused at a surprising stall. Every shelf had a different kind of adventure supply and he stared wide-eyed at the sword and shield on display.

“Oh, hello!” The merchant said, slapping his hands on his desk and standing from his stool. “I see you’ve taken an interest in my wares!”

His excitement was equal to Link’s surprise at finding such a young man running the shop. By how he worded it, it didn’t really sound like he was looking over it for his parents, but he couldn’t be older than Link himself, and he was barely  technically  considered an adult at fifteen as it was.

“Do you see something that interests you? Something to your liking? We’re running a great sale today, if you’re interested!” A loose strand of dark hair that was otherwise all pulled back fell into his face and he quickly swiped it away. “Everything I have to offer is the best quality and you won’t be disappointed if you invest in some of my adventurer’s gear! All of it is dearly important for the life of a traveler in this increasingly dangerous time!”

Link pressed his lips together. The onslaught of words and sales pitches were making his headache worse, much like the merchants constant shouting volume, like he was talking to a crowd and not the single civilian within ten feet of his particular stall.

“Have a look at this sling! It’s all the rage with young travelers these days. Good enough to keep bokoblins away while keeping a safe distance yourself!” He swung the sling in mock circles over his head a few times before he set it down and gestured wildly at the shelf behind him. “Or- or I’ve got bottles imported from the Gerudo Desert itself! Sturdy and reliable, the glass has been formed to perfection and will hold anything you need!”

“How much for your sword?” Link asked when the merchant paused to search out another item.

“My sword?” The merchant’s eyes bugged and he spun to look at it before looking at Link again, running his eyes from head to foot as if sizing him up. “You want a  sword?” He blinked precisely three times and didn’t wait for Link to answer before he slapped his cheek and started up again. “Well of course you want a sword! And who wouldn’t, seeing this fine craftsmanship? It was forged for a knight and gifted to me after a very trying experience and though I do hold it close to my heart, I would be willing to part with it for an even two hundred rupees.”

“Two hun-“ Link’s eyes blew wide and he took an involuntary step back as his face burned. He knew for a fact he didn’t have more than twenty, if even that.

The merchant definitely noticed the reaction. He cringed and turned to look at Link full on again. “I really can’t sell it for less or I’d try to lower the price for you. Maybe something else might interest you instead…?”

Link mutely pointed toward the sling, his face burning. Two hundred rupees! He knew swords were expensive, but he’d never tried to buy one himself. His family could live off of that for a whole season!

The merchant set the sling back onto the counter and his smile was a little less oppressively wide this time. “Fifty rupees for you, my friend.”

By the way he said it, it was a lower price than usual. His ears tingled with the heat of embarrassment. He couldn’t afford any of this! “Ah, um, thanks. I-I don’t think I need it after all.” He ducked his head and turned to go.

That’s what he got for staring. He wasted the merchant’s time and got his own hopes up for nothing. He couldn’t even afford a little sling! Stealth and branches were going to be his best friends from now on, it seemed.

“Wait! Come back a second!”

He turned at the merchant’s voice to find the boy leaning over his desk and beckoning him back with both hands.

That was honestly worse. Link cringed and glanced around at the people passing by and giving them strange looks. He hurried back to the adventure merchant’s stall just to get him to stop making a scene.

“I can tell you have a particular need,” the merchant said, lowering his voice and losing the salesman smile he had been wearing before. “I’d like to help if I could, but I really can’t be parting with my wares for less than they’re worth.”

 Then why did you call me back here? To humiliate me all over again? 

“However, if you really are the adventuring type like you…” he notably avoided looking at Link’s clothes. “…look, then maybe we can strike a deal.”

Link blinked at him. “What kind of deal?”

The merchant waved a hand back at his stall. “I’m always on the look out for rare or pretty items I might be able to sell. If you’re short on rupees, I’d be willing to trade some of my goods for something of equal or greater value. Something you can’t use but  I  can sell.”

Link’s fingers dug into the fabric of his rupee pouch, finding the delicate form of the Soul’s Voice inside. “I… don’t have anything like that to trade.”

The merchant twisted his lips, but he was persistent, Link would give him that. “But you are going on an adventure, right?”

Link hesitated before nodding.

“Then surely you’ll have things to trade soon enough! I have a need for a supplier, so I’d be happy to take you on if you can bring me things worth my time.”

Link shifted on his feet. “And then I could trade for the weapons?”

“You have my word!” The merchant pressed a hand to his heart and raised the other over his head. “It’s just good business, after all!” Then he scrambled back from the table and set the sling on it between them again. “As a matter of fact, as a show of my good faith in you and your willingness to accept my deal, I’d be willing to give you this sling as a loan, just until you bring me something to trade of the same worth.”

“How could you be sure I wouldn’t just take it and leave?”

The merchant raised his eyebrows at him, but there wasn’t so much mirth in his eyes when he said the next words for Link to believe he was really joking. “I travel all around Hyrule, and even some other lands. It wouldn’t be a hard matter to hunt you down and take what is mine.”

Link stared at him until the boy broke a smile and held the sling out for him. “Deal?”

Link swallowed. His family’s debts were already piling up, and fifty rupees was no small sum.

But if there was anything Papa taught him, it was that a weapon or defense of some kind was crucial when heading into dangerous territory. With all the monsters he’d seen around, looking for him, could he really afford not to take the sling?

He found himself making the exchange and returning the merchant’s smile hesitantly. “Deal.”

Favor [Twilight x Reader]

You want Twilight to go exploring with you. Twilight regrets everything (and nothing at all).

Wrote this one for someone I was chatting with recently. You know who you are!

"Please." You begged in the sweetest voice you could muster, hands clasped together and eyes widened in your best attempt at puppy eyes. By the blush that crept up Twilight's cheeks and down the length of his neck, you were succeeding. You just needed to push a little more (just enough to break his resistance).

You placed your hands gently on his arm (oh, and what an arm it was. farmhand indeed) and gently squeezed, pushing yourself closer with a pout. Blinking up at him with obvious intent (not that it mattered. you could see his will breaking a little more with each flutter of your lashes).

"Please, Twi. Pretty please." You whined, reaching up to cup his cheek and turn his head back when he tried to turn his face away (trying to resist the temptation that was your pouty lips and sparkling eyes) "Baby. Please~ I need it. I need you~"

He choked softly, eyes widening briefly and face flushing beet red before he squeezed his eyes shut tightly and pinned his ears back. Going so far as to press his hands to his ears and shake his head in denial. Blushing scarlet from the roots of his sandy blonde hair to the sun-kissed skin peeking out from his fur collar.

"I can't. Time said we're not supposed to." He reasoned (whimpered), peeking one timid blue eye open. Only to yelp and cover his face with both hands when he found your own right up in his space, eyes boring into his own with mischievous confidence.

"Darling~" You breathed right up against the backs of his hands, grinning when his breath hitched and his whole body shivered. His ears perked forward to track you even as he pretended he wasn't listening. "My hero. My Link~" You cooed, leaning forward to place a gentle kiss across his calloused knuckles.

You saw the way his whole body clenched at the small action. How his breathing tightened and turned laborious around the quiet whine that was building in his throat.

Just a little more, and you had him. He was practically falling apart at the seams in real time right in front of you. Just another little push, and it would be your victory.

You kissed his hand again (lingering for the briefest moments. chuckling throatily when the man whimpered helplessly), before moving slightly to place another at his temple. Inhaling at his hairline, reveling in the shuddering breath that stuttered from his lips.

Twilight breathed, soft and pleading and quivering with emotion (submission in motion. the inevitable fall). "Please. I can't-" His breath hitched when you pressed your warm, moist lips against his senitive ear.

"Please." You whispered, cradling his tensing jaw in your hands, caressing the warm skin of his cheeks with your thumbs. "Just do this one little favor for me."

A shuddering sigh. The clenching of his sharp jawline under your hands. The tension building, building, building in his shoulders, his back, his neck. And then-

All the tension just rushed out of his body at once. Near boneless, he leaned forward, hands still covering his reddened face, and pressed up against the crook of your shoulder. Whining. "You're unfair. You know that, right darlin'?"

You laughed softly, nuzzling your face into the fluff of his oily (smells like wet dog. and hay. and sweat. and honestly it's kind gross but you like it anyway) hair as you wrapped your arms as best you could around his broad shoulders. Eyes alight with victory. "Yup!"

He sighed. Before a chuckle left his lips and he finally removed his face from his hands. His beautiful eyes painfully fond as he said, exasperated. "You're going to be the death of me, someday."

You just grinned. "Nah! You're too stubborn for that! Now let's go before the others get suspicious!"

He shook his head, before taking your hands in his and putting them to his flush-warmed cheeks. Inhaling slowly. "Alright. Let's get this over with."

The grin that split your face was nothing short of shit-eating and Twilight regretted everything.

---

Back at camp (seated next to the fire just starting to rise to full strength), Wars smirked playfully as he leaned over Time's shoulder. "You're just going to let them wander off?"

Time looked over his shoulder to catch War's gaze, before a small grin (an impish grin. a frey grin) slipped across his lips. "Well. If they want to do a few extra patrols around the area, who am I to stop them."

Wars blinked. Once. Twice. And then he grinned wide enough to nearly split his face. "You're a menace."

Time blinked slowly, lips still curled up at the edges. "Now that's just unfair. I told them not to go, didn't I?"

Wars snorted in amusement. "I guess you're right." Then he put his cheek in his palm and hummed. "Wonder when they'll figure out there's nothing there."

Time smiled. Soft and genuine. Fondly. "Oh. Twilight knows. He just likes it when they ask for favors."

Silence. And then Wars was bent over howling with laughter (red faced and gasping with it). "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!"

Back to the shadows to rest.

[gliphyartfan]

Good morning, afternoon or evening.

I'm not usually one to ask for anything, you know that well, but today...

Today I woke up curious, and I came to ask, if you have, any headcannon of the other links. Sage/Tears,Calamity/soldier,Koridai, Courage, First and maybe also about Shadow...that art of Dree left me thirsty for Four emo.

*inhales*

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE (⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠෴⁠ ⁠༎ຶ⁠)

—Double Anon

Alright alright! I hear you! Took forever to search for my old discussion about them

and at the end of the day, I just asked Yandy and Dree to hand in what we talked about. (Thank you my lovely dears, I always adore you~)

Anywho (sorry for it’s all over the place!)

So here are those headcanons!

- Courage was a street rat who earned a name for himself by using his street smarts to provide for himself. He was noticed by the royal family and initially hired to be a guard in the Castle. After learning Courage is the hero he left to travel and adventure.

- Korodai was similarly poor and orphaned but worked his way up through the Church of Hylia, not taking any serious vows but still training to be the Hyrulian equivalent of a monk who can kick ass(so like a knight for the church). He was still pretty goofy and silly though in spite of his intelligence.

- The people in the church learned he was the hero and sent him to the Royal Family where he continued his training. Korodai’s journey in “Faces of Evil” is his first official journey.

- Courage is incredibly strong, similar to Twilight except even moreso. People don’t really see this coming because of his lackadaisical and unserious nature, they don’t expect him to actually be that powerful.

- Because of his history on the streets, Courage never knew how to properly interact with nobility and royalty, which is how his “love-hate” relationship with Wisdom(his Zelda) started. He was attracted to her but she didn’t like how he had no manners and thus started the cycle.

- Both Korodai and Courage are exceptionally clever and resourceful.

(….And if one is around, so is the other. They are a duo! )

——-

Im sure Calamity/Soldier (I call him Cal) is very much the silent stalker yandere.

I feel like he can’t feel himself being able to fit in with the chain.

Because all of them are heroes, but the Master Sword doesnt even answer to him.

Or at least hasn’t said a word.

Basically all of these guys around him are accomplished but well, him? He’s not so special. The only way he knows how is to be darling's shadow.

And therefore follow them and around?

Maybe he’s learned some manners being the princess' guard, so he treats darling like royalty and their word is law hahaha.

———-

Sage? Overprotective to the max.

If Sage is Wild but hasn’t met darling until his third adventure, I think he would be very willing to see darling as a goddess easier.

In his eyes, she’d be unlike anyone he’s ever known. This reverence might show in small ways, he’s always gentle with her, speaks to her with the utmost respect, and sometimes catches himself just watching her in quiet awe, as if he can’t believe she’s real.

Cuz Darling would be like a breath of fresh air for him since everyone around him took advantage of him or only cared about him being the hero.

he’d also have possessive streak that he keeps under tight control, but any hint of jealousy unleashes it. If he sees someone getting too close to Darling, he’d be tempted to step in immediately, but hold back with a calm, collected demeanor.

His icy gaze speaks volumes though.

Darling is worth any sacrifice, and he makes it clear that he would do anything to keep her safe, even if it means his own life. (Though (y/n) is definitely working on fixing that mentality if she is aware of it.)

Her presence alone eases the burdens he’s carried for so long, helping him feel grounded and human in a way he hasn’t experienced in years.

After years of being questioned or pushed to his limits, Sage finally finds someone whose judgment he respects without question.

If she tells him to rest or take a step back, he listens, even if every fiber of his being wants to protect her.

Though, he’s the type to stay up until she falls asleep, keeping a silent watch over her to ensure nothing can disturb her rest.

———

First feels like the one who’s more jaded than Legend??? Kinda?

Because compared to Legend, First canonically points out how he’s only used for convenience when he’s really needed.

Hmmm...I personal always imagine First being very soft spoken (well, when he wasn't angered to the point of raising his voice)

Not super soft spoken, not like he’s a fragile person, but very calming to hear.

And he loves every part of her, even if it pains him to see her in any negative/unhappy state.

Would he want to show her the true depth of his loyalty and love? Absolutely.

But he'd also want her comforted and happy.

If she ever drifts off to sleep in his arms, he's whispering all his words to her. All the things he'd held back on saying when she was conscious.

They'd be intense, overwhelming, very very...well...Yandere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If she heard it, she'd definitely be frightened by the weight behind it.

But he waits until she's deeply asleep to do so. Maybe a small part of his hoping a small part of her acknowledges his words, even if he'd rather her not be aware what atrocities he'd commit in order to protect her.

First may be jaded, but he keeps his darker thoughts deeply buried. He despises anyone who threatens her happiness, his face a mask of calm while his heart seethes with unspoken rage. (You know how everyone agrees Sky has a scary face when angered? That’s First, he rivals Sky with his scariness except it’s colder.)

Behind the scenes, he’d handle any threat swiftly, never letting it reach her attention.

———

Shadow. He gives me vibes where he likes to cause harm for the fun of it. He enjoys causing chaos and despair and taunts people.

But he also yearns for companionship.

Shadow gets an undeniable thrill from causing chaos. He knows how to push buttons and stoke insecurities, loving the reactions he pulls from people.

But he’d be surprisingly gentle around (y/n), changing his dark sense of humor just a bit to make her smile.

When (y/n) pays attention to someone else, Shadow sulks like a petulant child. He’s prone to shooting them glares, muttering under his breath, and might even playfully (or not so playfully) trip them up just to remind her where her focus should be.

Shadow has no filter around people he doesn’t like, especially if they’re close to (y/n). His sarcasm can cut like a knife, and he won’t hesitate to call them out in the most biting way possible if he senses even a hint of a threat.

Shadow has a talent for inconveniencing others while staying just on the edge of innocence with (y/n). It could be someone’s drink spilling, their cloak tripping them up (or down a flight of stairs), or anything that paints them as awkward or foolish in front of her. He finds it hilariously satisfying.

Shadow wants to be the only one who can make (y/n) laugh, surprise her, or put a smile on her face. If someone else manages to get a genuine laugh out of her, he sees it as a challenge, scheming immediately about how he’ll one up them next time.

He’s not above showing his irritation in front of her if she’s giving too much attention to someone else. A muttered, “What, are they that funny?” or a dramatic sigh as he stands just a little too close, casting glances that all but scream “notice me instead.”

Shadow’s affection for (y/n) is one of the only things that holds him back from outright causing harm.

"Sage—! No.... no, please."

"... Starlight, wake up. You're having another nightmare."

"I... L-Link, Sage, you're... you are you. Thank the Goddess."

Fuck the Goddess. "Another nightmare?" If Hylia truly cared for you then why would she torture us both? Why would she give you so called 'prophetic' dreams that may never come true?

"Y-You were covered in malice. There was blood everywhere and Ganondorf was dead!"

"Hmm...? Why is Ganondorf being dead... a bad thing?"

"The Gloom hands were listening to you. You weren't human anymore. Y-You were—"

"A monster?" Darling, I'm already a monster, but I'm your monster. Your Goddess made me a monster. I haven't been man since I first was awoken to save Zelda.

"Standing over the dead bodies of the Chain. Y-You were kissing me. They were all dead, Sage! Dead. What i-if it was more than a nightmare? What if that will happen? The Chain has done nothing but help us, Wild especially."

Wild? The man that is nothing more than a shell? He doesn't even talk! He's a weaker version of I and yet you give him so much attention. Is he better than me? Do you love him more?

"You worry a lot, little priest(ess)."

That sounds like a dream. The Chain has been nothing more than a distraction since they first appeared here. Taking you away from me. Helping you. Protecting you. Loving you. That's my job.

"I am not going anywhere. Come watch the stars with me. The ones that you fell from." My starlight. My angel. My god(dess).

"T-The Gloom hands. The others."

"You can see them right there. They're sleeping. And as for the Gloom hands... if I could control them... that'd make my job a lot easier."

"O-Okay, you're right, Sage. You're always right."

Yes, I am. If you only listened about us joining this stupid Chain. I could have you all to myself, but no. You wanted other Links who could help me. You're too sweet for your own good.

"How are you feeling? Being the hero and all."

"I feel like I kind of want to eat a rock right now." and slaughter all of your worst enemies.

Mipha vs Revali using their divine beasts (BOTW) (Both romantic)

I'm honestly really excited for this one. My favorite champions.

Sure! I never actually finished BOTW but I do know the story. I wasn't sure what you meant by using their Divine Beasts... so I assumed you meant when they possess and pilot them. I apologize if something is wrong, like I said, I never got far in BOTW.

Yandere! Mipha vs Revali Concept

Pairing: Romantic - Rivalry

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Slight stalking, Overprotective behavior, Jealousy, Attempted isolation/abduction, Dubious relationship(s).

Revali picking people to rival against isn't new.

Although, picking Mipha of all people is certainly a strange pick....

Mipha is introverted and reserved, although is considered rather courageous.

She tries to assist her allies in whatever way she can, including using her healing abilities to close wounds.

She's always been a kind soul... perhaps even a romantic one.

Revali is quite the opposite.

He's arrogant and sardonic, boastful and loud about his abilities...

He hates admitting defeat and is envious of those around him, especially fellow Champions.

Although... It's said this is due to insecurity.

He may be smug... but he's vulnerable behind his barriers.

Now, the complicated thing about this request is how they know you.

The one thing that comes to mind is you befriending Link after he wakes up from his century long slumber.

Since then you have been helping him regain control of the Divine Beasts, or something similar to that.

This scenario would make you meet the Champions as spirits as you interact with their Beasts alongside Link.

Another variation of this, even if it makes less sense story-wise... You could have known the Champions when they were alive yet were sealed away for a century for one reason or another. Or maybe you're a Zora and have an extended lifespan.

It would certainly make you close with Mipha.

This leads you to travel with Link... and once again meet the Champions as spirits.

Like I said, I'm assuming since you said 'using their divine beasts', I'm guessing they're spirits.

Which means, you're going to spend a lot of time with Vah Ruta and Vah Medoh.

Maybe even after they're freed from Blight control.

After all, the spirits who pilot them would like to see you more.

Mipha, if she hasn't met you before, is curious about Link's new companion.

By the time Vah Ruta is freed by you and Link, you get to meet Mipha's spirit.

If she hasn't met you, she wants to be introduced to you.

However, if you're a Zora or somehow knew her a century ago... Mipha's brought to tears when she sees you again.

Before she went to pilot her beast, she's been close to you.

Link was her first love... but upon seeing his connection with Zelda, she turned to you.

Perhaps you've always been close to Link, Zora or not...

Mipha's happy Link has brought you back to her.

Mipha may even shyly ask if you can visit Vah Ruta often.

She knows you must help Link, in fact she encourages it.

But she wants her love to keep her company until the time to remove the Calamity arrives.

Then there's Vah Medoh, where you meet/reunite with Revali's spirit.

Revali, regardless of if you met him before or not, seems a bit antagonistic.

He doesn't particularly like that you're companions with Link.

Even less so if he's met you before and fallen for you.

Of course after he dies you go to his rival, it irritates him.

Revali is an easily jealous bird, even in spirit.

He knows it must be a pain to get to Vah Medoh... but still insists Link helps you visit from time to time until it's time to remove Calamity.

Your time visiting the Champions is... melancholic.

Since you care for them, or at least wish to honor their requests, you visit them in their beasts.

Link helps, although both Champions usually ask for privacy so they can speak with you.

When you sit on their respective beast and chat with them, the Champions retain their usual persona.

Mipha wants you to tell her all about your journey with Link.

She asks how you both are and often asks how your injuries are if you've received any.

She's attentive, even when dead...

She may be a spirit, but her love for you is as strong as ever.

Revali also asks about Link and anyone you've talked to, but it's less about being concerned for your well being.

It's more like Revali is trying to gauge if anyone else has your heart.

Even as a spirit, he's only ever vulnerable around you.

What's the point in hiding it?

No one else will hear since he's connected to Vah Medoh.

Both spirits want to be affectionate with their love... even if they can't properly feel them.

However, to go along with the idea of them using their beasts...

What if they interact with you through them?

Mipha and Revali can use all the mechanisms in their beasts.

Maybe they lock you away to a certain part of their beast, away from Link, so they can properly chat with you?

You and Link are the only company they've had in a century.

If they're obsessed with you... makes sense that they would want to keep you for extended periods.

Now, in terms of rivalry, I imagine it would occur when you mention spending time with the other Champion.

Mipha appears both intrigued and disheartened when you discuss things between you and Revali.

Revali also seems irritated when you mention Mipha, appearing to dislike you being so close to the Zora.

I assume you meant them fighting with each other using their beast... which while I can see some conflict, especially on Revali's part...

I think they know better than to attack one another while Calamity is still a threat.

Revali is definitely the instigator since I feel he gets so easily jealous.

I imagine Vah Ruta isn't as well equipped to move all the way to Vah Medoh anyways.

She wouldn't want to cause problems anyways.

Mipha loves you... but she won't go fight Revali over you.

Revali may be able to pilot Vah Medoh to hover over Vah Ruta though.

Which causes issues for both you and Link.

I imagine once the two beasts are near one another, both spirits can interact.

Which leads to you sitting through some arguments as Revali appears to be upset you're not spending enough time with him.

Meanwhile Mipha is trying to be reasonable, all while trying to get Revali back to his place.

Eventually he will once Calamity is brought up, but it does show he's quite desperate to keep your attention.

Another thing I thought of these two doing is essentially holding you hostage on their respective beast.

Which usually leads to Link trying to calm the two Champions.

If we are to assume Link summons their spirits when he calls upon them, then there's some conflict that could happen.

For example, summoning one spirit on the other's beast.

Which usually frustrates the other Champion.

Having two spirits obsess over you is bad enough...

But spirits in what amounts to war mechs? Worse.

For the most part both know not to fight over you using said beasts.

Yet when summoned for aid, they no doubt have some arguments.

Again... Revali is upset because Mipha liked Link at one point... so why can't he have you?

Link usually also ends up being antagonized since he gets more time with you.

Overall, the rivalry is mostly tame even if Revali starts fights...

Better hope they stay on track, however, the last thing you need is them using the beasts to fight one another while Ganon is still a threat.
