stuff about Ages (hcau)

his ass is NOT FLAT. he is a diligent military man who works out a ton. see him on the beach call that cake by the ocean idk

bro is the fakest bitch you’ll ever meet

like he’s nice and all but he’s also one minor inconvenience away from going off the fucking rails at all times so. yknow

holds grudges like it’s his lover’s dear hand. wrong him once and fuck you forever

he’d fuckin kill it at an open poetry reading night. that is if he ever grew the balls to admit to being a poet ahjdjdka

genuinely doesn’t know who he is without a pit in his chest and a weight on his shoulders

need yall to remember that this dude is like. 25. he should be at da club

have some fun facts abt my Links while i finish chapter one of hcau:

Prism and Wind are dyslexic :)

whenever Wild doesn’t want to go through the effort of explaining something, they’ll just say it came to them via divine intervention. Loft believes it every time.

Lorule has never lost a game of dominos. they have no strategy, they bet on blind luck and blind luck only and it always works. Ravio took it upon himself to set up little dominos tournaments at festivals or other town events.

Wind is banned from said domino tournaments due to his excessive cursing.

Wolf constantly tries to teach Spirit how to wrestle. Spirit refuses to learn (it scares her)

Mask can fuck it up on the fiddle

everyone thought Ages was gonna use his “Queen’s Bestie” privileges to meddle with politics even more than his job allows but nope! he just uses it to get access to the royal library. fucking nerd.

Wild and Loft both love bell peppers

Wind is besties with both Mask and Oracle. Oracle fucking despises Mask. Wind is desperately trying to convince Oracle that Mask is actually Rlly Fuckin Cool (tm). success levels vary.

Traveler doesn’t own a bedroll. he sleeps in the dirt. if they’re at an inn it’ll sleep outside anyways. they love it.

Wind is very superstitious

Oracle just straight up fistfights monsters sometimes

Wild’s a mouth-breather

Loft stole one of Kolokto’s swords. don’t ask me how he just did.

Oracle has one of his wanted posters nailed above his bed. he thinks it’s funny. no one else shares this opinion.

during hyrule warriors Mask got a wizzro in a corner and just beat the everliving fuck out of it

Wolf is an adult man horse girl

Red, Green, Blue, and Vio all have the thickest scottish accent

at the beginning of making hcau i made Ages kind of a bitch and now he’s just some extremely loyal loser who refuses to admit that he should’ve been a poet instead of a knight

#it’s ok lorule helps him out #you put a very kind and caring knight and a very blunt and honest blacksmith in a room together and they both walk out sobbing #hcau #hero’s call au #hcau ages

i need to post more hcau wips so here a wip of spirit fucking dying, vio having horrible bedside manner, hero trying his best, and traveler of all people being the smart one lmao

content warning: lots of injury descriptions, almost major character death, vulgar language, small descriptions of how terrible potions taste, and also they’re in a sewer

There’s blood seeping out of Spirit’s leg, and it’s the first time in a while that Vio doesn’t know what to do. Obviously, the wound needs to cleaned, sewn shut, and dressed, but the cut is so long and ragged and deep that she might be dead by the time a quarter of the stitches are in. And even if she does somehow make it past the blood loss, the likelihood of her dying of an infection from getting stitches in the middle of a sewer system is too high to even think about.

“Holy fuck, holy fuck,” Traveler says in a panic, sprinting past Vio to Spirit’s side. He helps her to the grimy ground, even rips off his cloak to set under her leg as a sort of towel. After an embarrassing amount of time, Vio finally moves to help prop her against the wall, and Traveler starts to clean the wound.

This is normally where they’d force feed her a potion. On any standard day they’d be desperately shoving it to her lips and tilt her head back. The tension would fall from their shoulders as her bleeding would slowly become more manageable, and death would no longer loom over her. They’d have to restrain her, of course; the kid’s always been particularly sensitive to the potion’s rancid meat flavoring. Vio holds the memory of Ages holding her arms and head back as Blue pries open her jaw to pour the liquid down her throat quite fondly, despite the fact that Spirit was actively dying then, as well.

But they can’t do that. They don’t have the luxury of pulling her out of death’s grasp, not when their last red potion is on the floor, mixing with glass shards and sewage a few yards away. It was shattered by one of the Yiga clan members that had attacked them just moments prior, in the exact same battle that cleaved the poor girl’s thigh open.

Vio wants to scoop the potion’s remnants up in her hands and force it onto Spirit’s tongue; she wants to drag their fingers through the groves in the stone where the liquid gathers, then drag those same fingers into her throat. She’d drag the girl over to the puddle by her fucking hair and force her to drink from it if it meant that she’d survive.

But it wouldn’t. It’s common knowledge that magic is a fickle thing, so fickle in fact that once a red potion is contaminated, it’s loses all potency—and what’s more contaminated than a potion full of glass, dirt, and sewage?

Traveler looks to Vio. They’re visibly exhausted from overextending their magic as they work through this dungeon, and the grim look on his face says that he’s intimately familiar with these kinds of situations and how they often end. The tears that flood Spirit’s terrified eyes tell Vio that she is as well.

Well, at least she’s small. They might be able to give her family a body.

Traveler still cleans the wound. He moves quickly, which means being much harsher than normal. Why he’s acting like she still has a chance Vio doesn’t know, but Spirit handles it shockingly well. She only clenches and unclenches her fists with every fresh wave of pain and… looks up and starts to nod?

“What’re you doing, kid?” Vio asks as gently as possible, taking one hand in their own to offer some kind of emotional support.

Spirit swallows harshly, and when she speaks her voice is ragged and breathy. “Hero… the—“ she winces, “—the ghost.”

Right. Hero, the dead Link that only Spirit can see, and who can sometimes vaguely speak to the rest of them. He would be there too, wouldn’t be?

“What about Hero?” Vio prods.

“He’s—“ she pants, and her grip on Vio’s hands tightens to the point that it feels close to shattering. Vio often forgets how strong the girl is. “He’s.. gonna get some of the others.”

As much as she wants to feel a wash of relief at her words, they only make Vio feel worse. The group split into several smaller groups in order to finish the dungeon quicker—a choice which likely won’t happen again after today. It’s been just over an hour since everyone parted. The chances of a ghost being able to find and effectively lead someone with a health potion to them quickly enough are…

Vio swallows. Her tongue feels thick. “I don’t think you have enough time for that.”

“Oh,” the engineer says. Her bottom lip quivers as she musters up a pathetic smile. “Okay.”

Another tear slips down Spirit’s round face, and Vio realizes at the worst possible time why Blue is so fond of her.

Then, Traveler’s face lights up as their eyes lock onto Vio. “You still have a little bit of a that stamina potion, don’t you?”

“Huh?”

“Stamina— the green one! I know you do, you always leave a little bit of potions left for situations like this! C’mon, gimme!” He leans across Spirit’s legs and grasps at Vio’s bag.

She grabs his wrist before they can reach anything. “A stamina elixir won’t help her, it’ll only make her feel more awake as she dies!” A pang of pity hits Vio’s stomach when she sees Spirit flinch at it so plainly put.

Traveler shakes his head. “No- for me! I can heal her enough for stitches if my magic isn’t fully depleted.”

Within an instant the elixir is in his hands, and soon after the remaining green liquid disappears down his throat. He gags momentarily—that one has the taste of pure salt and the texture of spoiled milk—before clasping the sliced flesh shut between his hands. Spirit’s scream is loud and mangled and the only thing Vio can do is pull her close, muffling the wretched cries that tear through her little body into their chest.

#again this is a wip so pls just. ignore any inconsistencies or plot holes #and the jerky flow know dw i’ll fix it #anywho!! enjoy spirit dying #she doesn’t actually they manage to save her #i have to do more research in how fast blood loss kills #there’s like a solid 2/3 of this fic get to be written lmao <3 #it’s a wip for a reason #hcau #hero’s call au #hcau fic #hcau wip #hcau spirit #hcau vio #hcau traveler #hcau ages #hcau blue #they’re. mentioned #it counts #hcau hero

anyways hcau chapter one is almost finished i just gotta get my ass to do the damn character intro posts so y’all will have a bit of an idea as to what’s goin on now

#you don’t need to posts to read hcau BUT i won’t be able to include all the details for the sake of flow #there won’t be a reason for the characters to like. state their ages and whatnot #and i go against canon and popular fanon quite often so it’s also to up any confusion #especially when it comes to games like hw #cause i’ve changed so much about hw it ain’t even funny

why is it so fucking easy to hurt hyrule warriors link. dawg’s committed to the punching bag aesthetic.

#you think Loft would be the punching bag considering how his face is literally on Groose’s punching bag in game #but nope. it’s Ages. local pretty boy with a mountain’s worth of trauma.#i say this like i’m not actively tormenting Oracle Lorule Blue and Mask too. actually all of them. i am not nice to these guys.#i feel genuinely a bit bad for what i’ve done to Blue #hcau #hero’s call au #tagging since this is technically abt Ages but it can be for rlly any version of hw link

hey so there’s been major adjustments to the hero’s call AU. i seriously might just not post anything else abt it and just start publishing the fic and posting any needed info alongside it. like whenever a new character is introduced i’ll post their basic information and all and that’s like. it. hajskdkak

i’ll still keep the original posts up (as well as any oneshots n such) but, save Foraging for Fuck Knows What, they’re not entirely canon anymore. almost every character has had such a major change to them made that lots of it is now very inaccurate!! the general ideas and concepts that i had and the directions i were taking are largely still the same (with a few exceptions) though, so if u had a favorite they’ll probably be decently similar <3

#id say Lo Mask Loft and Oracle have had the least changes made to em #while Cadence Palette Spirit Ages and Minish had the most #i’m still deciding what to do w Wild in relation to totk #hcau #hero’s call #hero’s call au #clo’s linkverse au

anyways here’s a list of all the (current) hcau links’ gender, pronouns, sexuality, and any partners they may have/have had. i’ve been queering these bitches since the very beginning

Hero - he/him, he’s too busy with.. well everything to think about his gender or sexuality, has a very complicated relationship with Hylia

Loft - he/they, in the midst of exploring their gender but for now is settled on trans man, bisexual, in a very committed relationship with his Zelda (and is planning to propose soon!!)

Minish - they/them, agender, demi + ace, just started dating their Zelda

Prism - he/him, cis man, bisexual, engaged to his Zelda

Mask - they/he, their gender is complicated but they don’t want to explain so they just say trans man, bisexual, not quite dating Malon yet but very very close (also has a minor crush on Sheik)

Oracle - he/him, trans man, pansexual, he is very far back in the closet so he’s not dating anyone but he was admittedly kind of into Ralph, and under different circumstances he could’ve loved Zelda, too (see this short wip) (also he’s so not over Marin)

Lorule - she/he/they, genderfluid, pan + ace, has the fattest fucking crush on Ravio

Rhythm - he/him, questioning gender, queer, hasn’t figured out if their feelings for his Zelda are platonic or not

Traveler - he/they/it, non-binary, aroace, he and one of its Zeldas jokingly flirt all the time bc they think it’s hilarious but they’re actually just super good friends

Wolf - he/him, cis man, bisexual, not in a relationship because he’s probably never going to get over Midna

Red - he/they, genderqueer, queer, still crushing on Erune

Green - he/him, cis man, bisexual, single

Blue - she/her, trans woman, lesbian, head over heals for her Zelda but refuses to admit it (everyone knows)

Vio - they/she, transfem non-binary, bi + demi + ace, has a…. complicated relationship with Shadow

Wind - he/him, trans man, bisexual, dating Tetra and is so proud of it

Spirit - she/her, trans girl, lesbian, has the biggest crush on her Zelda

Ages - he/him, cis man, pansexual, single but used to have a crush on Ravio during the war

Champion - he/they, was too busy studying the blade to consider their gender or sexuality or any romantic feelings (painfully oblivious to the fact that they have feelings for both Mipha and Zelda)

Wild - any/all pronouns, genderqueer, pansexual, dating her Zelda

here are also some side characters that are queer to some degree!!

Malon - she/her, trans woman, pansexual, very very close to dating Mask (and thinks Sheik is cute, too)

Mask’s Sheik (child timeline) - he/him, trans man, bisexual, not dating anyone but has a fat fucking crush on Mask and Malon

Pipit - he/him, trans man, straight, engaged to Karane

Marin - she/her, trans woman, pansexual, was dating Oracle

Champion’s Zelda - she/her, cis woman, bisexual, has a huge crush on both Champion and Mipha

Ravio - he/him, cis man, queer, has the fattest fucking crush on Lorule

of course there are other characters who aren’t mentioned here that have gotten hit by the queerification beam, but these are all i’ve decided on/can think of at the moment!!
