I Belong to You - Chapter Twelve - Falling Away With You

It's here! The final chapter of my grad school au I Belong to You!

I’m posting the final chapter early because today is a special day. This is the day my RL one true love and I went on our first date and by the end of the night we were hopelessly in love. We are proof that true love can happen in a moment with one look, one gesture, one touch. He’s my reason and my life, the father of our children, and to this day, through all the ups and downs, I love him with all my heart. This is for you, @thisgeekyweek.

Excerpt:

“Okay. Just remember you asked for it.” His fingers glided over the keys, and as he softly sang, the sun rose, brightening the room from gunmetal gray to rosy pink. Link painted a picture of the moments they shared and then recklessly threw away, if only briefly. Zelda closed her eyes and let the lyrics and music wash over her. 

‘Staying awake to chase a dream, tasting the air you’re breathing in. I hope I won’t forget a thing.’

The earnestness that tinged Link’s voice quickened Zelda’s heart, and she wanted nothing more than to soothe him. She rested her hand on his knee, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

‘Memories I will never find, memories I will never find.” Link’s hands stilled, but remained curled over the keys.

“What does that mean?” Zelda asked. 

Link shook his head, wrapping an arm around Zelda’s back, pulling her closer. “Oh, it, uh, means all the moments we could’ve lost if we hadn’t worked things out.”

Zelda relaxed against his side, savoring the peaceful moment. If only they could stay like this forever and forget about everything outside these walls. The rising sun and the fading shadows however were a reminder that the world continued to turn around them. They could only move forward, but the last two days had proven that she and Link were better, stronger together. She blew a shaky breath, feeling something subtle and unspoken shifting between them.

“I’m so glad I met you.” Zelda pulled away to look at Link, searching and finding what she felt reflected in his bright blue eyes.

“Me too, Zel. Me too.” Link tugged on her hands, pulling her to stand with him. “Let’s go back to bed, and I’ll make you breakfast when we wake up. Do you like pancakes?”

“I’ll like anything you make.” 

Many, many thanks (which will never be enough) to @zeldaelmo and @hyylia for their outstanding beta work. Thanks so much, friends!!

If you liked this story, I'd really appreciate a reblog. Thanks!

First Meetings! Wind & Four

Thank you Borf for beta reading this for me! Go check them out of AO3

《~⊙~》

Wind opens the door to heir dorm room and looks in.

Hey sees a small bathroom, two beds, two desks with drawers, and two wardrobes which are tall rather than long.

Looks like heir roommate hasn’t arrived yet.

Wind shrugs and places heir things on top of the bed facing the wardrobes, essentially claiming it as heir own, and leaves to explore the rest of the dorms.

On heir floor, hey finds a kitchenette, a lounge, and of course, the elevators, and the stairs. Hey meets the RA of the floor, Sky, they strike up a conversation and ae seems like a nice person. 

As they talk, some people pass by and whisper about something named “The Coke and Mentos Rocket Incident.” Sky glares at them and the students scuttle off to their rooms. Then the older student turns aer attention back to Wind as if ae hadn’t just terrified three twenty-year-olds with nothing more than a glare.

Wind is now walking back to heir room, torn between leaving Sky alone for heir own personal safety, or subtly pranking the guy until ae notices.

Option number one sounds boring, but it’d be safe and hey wouldn’t get in trouble. Option number two sounds fun and it would have the benefit of knowing how far hey could take heir pranks, but it was dangerous if hey got caught or took it too far.

Oh, who is Wind kidding? Danger meant thrills and thrills were fun! Of course hey’ll prank Sky. Hey’ll stop for a while if a prank goes too far, though. Teasing is fun, but people getting genuinely hurt isn’t.

The door is unlocked when hey arrives back in heir room. Wind turns the handle and prays heir roommate won’t be a douche.

On the bed facing the entrance is someone almost Wind’s height!

They are wearing a multi-colored hoodie, shorts, multiple rings, and wristbands. Posters and flags hang from the wall on their side of the room. As for heir roommate, they’re sitting on their bed, pencil in hand and a notebook on their lap. Beside them is a metric tape and a calculator. They’re so concentrated, they don’t even acknowledge Wind entering.

The boy decides to not make heir presence known and instead goes to make heir bed.

Heir roommate mutters to themself words Wind doesn’t quite catch. Hey decides hey doesn’t care.

Once heir bed is made, the blonde takes out a book to read and sits on the bed facing heir roommate. If they have noticed hem, they don’t show it.

After a few pages, Wind looks up again and finds heir roommate staring at hem. Hey waves a little.

No reaction.

Huh, they must be zoned out…

Wind cocks heir head to the side, wondering if and how hey should prank them.

An idea comes up and a mischievous smile forms across heir features.

Hey lays down on the bed, one leg stretched out, the other bent, and rests one of heir arms on heir knee while the other props hem up; posing model style. 

A few minutes pass and hey gets up, grabs heir leg, and lifts it behind hem.

All the while, Wind stares at the colourful student on the bed across from hem, who is yet to react at all.

As time goes on, heir poses become exponentially extravagant and difficult.

Hey goes through a lot of different styles of posing. Hey even does anime magical girl poses!

A few poses later, heir roommate blinks into awareness and lifts their head. They startle and take in the scene in front of them before meeting Wind’s eyes.

Hey almost can’t contain heir laugh at the other’s expression. It’s a perfect mix between amused, confused, and weirded out; and it’s golden.

“Am I,” Wind says, turning around so heir back faces heir roommate, and puts heir hands at heir hips. “Hot?” Hey twists heir torso in a thirst trap pose and flutters heir eyelids while making eye contact with the person on the bed.

Their eyes are wide, and eyebrows raised.

Their eyes are locked onto one another and a short eternity passes.

A giggle escapes the colorful person’s throat, then a laugh. They bend over and cover their mouth with their hand.

Wind can’t help it, hey laughs too, breaking the pose.

“Uhh, hi..?” heir roommate says. It sounds more like a question.

“Hey! My name’s Wind.” Hey takes a deep breath to calm down. “I go by hey/hem; it’s they/them without the ‘t’. What about you?”

“I’m Four, they/them.” They stretch out their hand.

“Nice name. Whatcha drawing?” Hey shakes their hand.

“Thanks, I chose it myself. We’re designing something.” Four shows Wind their notebook. It has a drawing of something that looks like a bunk bed, but someone forgot the bottom bed. Calculations and measurements fill the edges of the drawing. “Elevated beds are superior. Do you want to help me?”

“Hell yeah!” Wind pumps heir fist in the air before pausing for a moment. “Wait, is the workshop even open?”

“It is. We checked earlier today.” Four puts their notebook away and eyes Wind’s book. “So, do you like reading?”

“Kinda. I like libraries more than reading and books themselves, but sometimes I’ll find a book that just hits different, you know?”

Four laughs a little. “Yup. Some books are simply that good. And libraries feel like their own little universes.” They nod in understanding. “What do you like, then?”

“Video games, shenanigans, and texting my sister.”

“Shenanigans?” Four raises an eyebrow.

“You know, pranks and stuff,” Wind says nonchalantly. “But I don’t think I’ll be able to pull a lot of them because of our RA…”

“Did you meet them?” Four hopes they have a nice RA.

“Yeah, aer name is Sky. Ae seems nice, but I really don’t think you wanna get on aer bad side.”

“Oh. Is ae one of those people?”

“Yeah! Ae scared off some students with just a glare. They weren’t even freshmen, they looked like they lifted weights.”

“Really? With a glare?” Four asks, incredulous.

“Yeah! You think I’d lie?”

Four laughs. It’s sweet, melodic, and contagious, so Wind laughs too.

Part 8 of the Linked Universe Winged Au (LUWAU)! After an eternity we've finally got our boy, Warriors!

<<< Previous Next >>> Coming Soon!

Starting off strong with a silly little bird fact, did you know that Blue Jays aren't actually blue? Blue Jay feathers have a brown pigment and their iconic blue color is actually a trick of the light! This is due to a trick called, "light scattering" and it occurs when every color passes through the feathers EXCEPT blue. In other words, only the blue color is reflected so your eyes will see blue.

Anyways! This fact was completely irrelevant for why I chose a Blue Jay for Warriors but it was cool so I had to share it. Also because I really wanted Warriors to be some sort of blue bird and a quick Google search told me that Blue Jays aren't even technically blue and I just about died inside.

But in all seriousness, aside from color schemes, the main reason Warriors is a Blue Jay in this winged au is because they are well known for their incredible intelligence. Warriors is a smart man, and a military leader and strategist on top of that, so I believe that these traits really got to be showcased in the tendencies and habits of Blue Jays!

One example of these strategies is how Blue Jays are oftentimes an alarm system for other birds because they imitate the sound of hawks, thus protecting other birds from predators by giving them an early warning. Warriors is one of the oldest members of the chain and as such, he takes his job very seriously when it comes to ensuring their safety and will go to great measures to protect them. Because of this, in my au he is almost always the first to volunteer for night watches as he is the one most likely to spot danger before it spots them.

On top of their intelligence, Blue Jays are also well known for their complex social systems and tight family bonds. If Time is the Dad of the group and Twilight is the big brother, then Warriors is the Uncle. While he usually showcases how much he cares through his subtle strategies and protective nature, he also shows it by teasing the others and willingly being the butt of their jokes in return. Their laughter and happiness are just as important as their physical safety after all.

Anyways! That's got to be all for now folks! Thank you all again for your kind words! Our resident old man Time will be coming up next to wrap up the first drawings of the chain! After Time is done, there will be various content of other characters outside the chain along with more art of the chains dynamics and shenanigans! If you have any requests for who or what you would like to see next feel free to reach out! Thank you all again!

Had a thought about Linked Universe and it spiraled into this au.

So this au takes place before the beginning of Legend of Zelda when the Golden Goddesses where making the world and before making the tri force. There were other gods before but it's not important, what was important is that the gods could curse mortals and expel them from where ever they had lived

These curses ranged from being completely changed into a creature to never being able to enter a domain of a god without dying.

And this explains how there are many different creatures as well as races in hyrule.

Now The First Hero comes from a line of people cursed by a god because his ancestor chose to help people that the god forsaken because the people didn't pray to it, so the god cursed his line to never be welcomed in any kingdom unless they forsake the people. The ancestor said fuck that and moves the people somewhere better while the curse mutated into staying until the line turned selfish.

After that his ancestor made a place for the cursed, people who denied the gods who would eventually become Gerudo, people who chose to be humble became Goron, those that refused to be culled by the sea gods became Zora and the gentle kind people were made minish.

But The First Hero's cursed had changed as the bloodline intersected with other curses, changing him to be able to fulfill another's curse and set them free.

And The First Hero made his choice to help people, when then he met the minor gods Demise and Hylia.

Demise and Hylia where minor gods at first with Demise being a flame god and Hylia being an owl goddess. They met by The First Hero helping their followers with a cursed villager. They were more distracted by each other then The Hero but after The First Hero stayed in the area to help they both became infatuated and tried to wingman for each other.

The First Hero then pointed out he didn't like gods (bc of all the curses like 20% of all people where cursed) so could they not?

That just got them deeper, because this mortal doesn't give a shit if they were gods so they help him out. And The First Hero kind of started to fall for these two gods willing to face the wrath of more powerful gods. So he fell hard and gave in to their asks for courtship. But he made them promise him to never bind a mortal to them, cursed or made into champions by birth.

And at this point Demise had challenged the god of Demons for his title to stop curses and Hylia the god of Light to. So it's fine, it's going well for the three lovers.

But time is the worst enemy of any god and The First Hero is mortal, no matter how the curse extended his family's life, his age is slowly catching up.

And now Demise and Hylia face the death of their love, something they can not change because of The First Hero's curse, having twisted beyond any gods domain.

But The First Hero knows that there are only three gods that can help him, so he travels beyond the world into the plane of the Golden Godesses, asking them for a solution to he lovers dilemma.

The Goddesses told him that they would on the condition that he does not tell the other two what he had asked, only that he has found a solution. They would test his resolve, sending gods to kill him one by one, if he lived through the end of the month, they would make the lovers their avatars in this world.

The First Hero excepted and the trial began. It was fine, there were only three days left when the rumors of the tri force came. Hylia and Demise were tempted, the power that could make gods out of mortals, a solution to their worries of loss.

They made a plan and on the last day of the trial they snuck into the greater plane and stole the tri force of power. But in this they left The First Hero alone to fight the final god

And The First Hero faced an enemy he could not defeat, not without the wisdom of Hylia or the Strength of Demise. The god he faced was the one who casted his curse, and here after centuries, the slighted god killed The First Hero.

And the two gods watched as the man they loved was cut down.

Their grief was so eminence yet their rage was blinding as they killed the god who killed their mortal.

They grieved together, morning their love, yet they had to face the consequences of stealing from the Golden Goddesses.

So Hylia was forced to watch over the tri force while Demise was tossed back into his kingdom.

And yet Demise had the anger and grief to listen to the whispers in his court as Hylia heard the whispers of the gods. Who else would each side blame.but the other god? Who else would have tried.to make themselves look better by giving their lover godhood?

And yet in their grief they listened to poisonous words, their hate grew to the point when they stood face to face, the surface of the land scarred and armies raging all they could see was the god who failed their lover.

So that was the beginning and this continues for the Linked Universe kinda which is the reason I thought of it.

So The First Hero is gonna be nicknamed Courage bc originally the Golden Goddesses intended for each of the lovers to hold a piece incase something happens but that got fucked up so the balance of the world was destroyed and that's why the cycle hasn't ended, because Courage was supposed to fulfill the role to help keep Hylia and Demise from getting too much on each other's nerves.

Courage is both exactly like Link and both incredibly different. He was very patient and kind having chose to help but he also wanted to not give more people grief since any child of his would have his curse of only being welcomed briefly even in cursed communities, ignoring the fact they would be gods and outlive him no matter if he wanted a large family. He's painfully familiar with horrible kings and gods but wi9tey his best anyway.

Now by the time BOTW rolls around the Golden Goddesses are feed up with Hylia and Demise's pretty much petty ex fighting (Zelda and Link falling in love is salt on a wound since Link is so much like the gods dead lover) and since making the hero's spirit into the almost carbon copy of their lover isn't working they resort to the big guns. Doesn't help that Link Verse is happening so the two gods fucked the world up more.

They pull out Courage from the dead, slap godhood on him and ship him out to the links. Now Courage is many things but being chucked out of heaven told to "fix your lovers they fucked up" while trying to get use to being alive as well as being tossed to and from places is not having a good time and this close to figuring out a way to kill the Golden Goddesses.

Courage is found by the Links and is momentarily detracted from killing the Golden Goddesses and travels with them. He falls in with them frighteningly easily, but he knows that it's because they were him, they echoed his soul in a similar way but he didn't actually know if they were family or descendants of his family.

Until they explained the reincarnation cycle and Courage is so angry that he activates his godhood and meets Demise and Hylia in the limbo of where the gods reside now.

Demise and Hylia are both incredibly happy and confused at how Courage is alive until he opens his mouth and screams at them why the hell did they break their promise, it was the only thing he asked of them and the condition that he married them on and if their marriage vows mean so little them they can forget about him loving them.

So Courage is pulled back to his body and the Links are justifiably like wtf. Courage explains the speal above while Demise and Hylia are calling counsel of all their reincarnations for help on getting Courage to remarry them and the Zelda's and Ganons are awkwardly side eyeing each other what the hell is going on.

So Courage travels with the links, becoming the father he.never got to be and helping time with keeping everyone safe until the meet up with a Zelda and Hylia appears.

And Courage asked her if she even knows what hes made at her for and she doesn't know so he tells her that utill her and Demise know why he mad don't dare try and take him back.

Hylia is begging while the Links and Zelda are both in awe at this man denying the goddess and confused at why he also said Demise.

And the dynamics is Demise and Hylia being exs working together to try and win Courage back while he takes the kids in the divorce.

But in more of a serious tone and more angst of Courage hating how they did to the world what was done to him, forcing children to be heroes and giving men no choice in being consumed by hatred.

And the tri force is trying to deal with a god who's actively trying to keep them alive and cares for their well being.

Not sure about how the power forces would work but the Zeldas are having a time between having a father that doesn't expect them to be great and the goddess acting like a teenager trying to win back an ex.

The ganons are also having a time with Demise reviving them without rage to try and win back his ex.

Then they get the bright idea of working together and it goes from awkward to down right embarrassing because now the Zeldas and Ganons have to work together, with both gods telling their followers about it.

Surprisingly this ends up helping the prowler and wisdom to get along and fix the damage of their realm if only to stop Hylia and Demise from spouting more stories about their beloved.

The Links are simply vibing and having a great time watching Courage tossing Hylia and Demise on their asses when they don't answer correctly.

And then they remember when Skyward Sword Zelda said that is was sad that so many times the cycle started. They gathered everyone together because this would be it.

So they said that he was mad because they bounded mortals to them to fight a battle that wasn't theirs.

And Courage smiled sadly, that it was the promise they made on marriage, the one condition he had yet they broke it. How could he trust them if they ruined everything he tried to do as a hero, ruin and hurt the people he protected?

And they couldn't, not really but he took their hands and said if they ended the cycle he would be willing to try again and never again would mortals fight their battles.

They agreed, and Courage stayed with the Links telling them while he couldn't fix their times they would be they only heros.

And it ends with the gods trying again and the trio's doing their best to fix their times.

Mostly ended up being that the Hero is rightfully mad that their pissing fight hurt so many people and the gods treatment at the Links while everyone else is wondering how the fuck this man who looks like an 50's to 60's old link is cussing out the gods and gaining custody of all their reincarnations while having said gods rat out of his palm

Music (Friday Night Plans)

The @zelinkcommunity began weekly prompts to let our imaginations run wild! The theme this week is music, which allowed me to revisit this idea of a TP Zelink college AU. I hope you like it, either here or crossposted on Ao3!

Read under the cut!

Noise of chatter and clinking glasses was the typical Friday night soundtrack at the small, as old as time pub near the Arts and Humanities faculty of Hyrule University.

Legend said the pub had been built at the same time as the huge faculty building, one hundred and fifty years ago, to brighten up the lives and lift the spirits of the students, but actually it was just a good place with familiar faces, good cheap fries, and even cheaper, better booze - the owner, Telma, who was the namesake of the pub, followed the recipe of her family's custom brew.

A young man in an old, worn dark brown perfecto jacket, olive green hoodie and jeans swam among the dwellers. The amount of guests was bigger than usual, for a very specific reason: every week, Telma’s Pub hosted live music shows, and this particularly had a larger concurrence, for it was a kararocker party. It consisted of regular karaoke, but instead of having bad synthesized tracks, it had a live band, and a sort of setlist, composed by the people who had signed up.

After some minutes of surfing, he ended up next to who he was looking for.

"Hey, Midna!" he called out a towering redhead twili woman clad in a long, flowy, loose black jacket with fringe, crop top and long skirt, Doc Marten’s style boots on her feet, which contrasted with her hippie-ish, borderline Stevie Nicks inspired clothing.

"Link! You made it in time, buddy!" the redhead high-fived him, "Great! My friend is about to go onstage!"

"Your roommate?" he asked, taking off his hood. "The History Major junior?"

"Yes," she nodded, her earrings making a chiming sound, "she loves these things because she says it’s sort of cathartic."

"It surely is," he laughed, seeing the extravagant performance of the singer on stage, a lanky guy dancing like there was no tomorrow to an energetic guitar riff, reciting “must be the moon, must be the moon…” as if it were a mantra.

"She sings beautifully too, so it’s a plus I guess," Midna shrugged, looking at the singer bowing to the crowd.

Link had heard only praise about her from Midna: how ladylike she was, her intelligence, and her shy but laid back and nice personality once you get to know her. Ironically, despite him knowing Midna for almost a semester now, he had never been introduced to her, and the couple of times she had invited him to their apartment, the roommate was never around.

The MC stepped on the small stage. "Next, is one of our regulars, Miss Zelda!" the crowd clapped, "singing Mitski’s Nobody!"

The crowd clapped some more, as a tall woman, slender but with rounded hips, stepped onstage, dressed in a cream knit sweater paired with a black leather mini skirt, black tights and booties; her long golden brown hair in a low ponytail, her makeup barely there, just some rosy color on her lips and mascara that framed her beautiful, almond shaped icy blue eyes.

To say she was pretty was an understatement. She looked more like a model than a regular university student, in Link’s eyes. And something about her resulted strangely familiar to him.

She waved timidly, saying "it’s good to see friendly faces tonight, hi Midna!" as she greeted the twili, who raised a fist in the air, while Zelda took the microphone.

"That’s Zelda!" Midna clapped, looking at her companion.

"I see." Link just looked to the stage, wide eyed, more than impressed by the looks of the young woman.

Midna just giggled mischievously seeing his captivated look.

"My God, I'm so lonely, so I open the window, to hear sounds of people, to hear sounds of people…" she began singing, her voice crystal clear, as she took the elastic band off her hair, the piano and drum playing softly. "Venus, planet of love, was destroyed by global warming. Did its people want too much too? Did its people want too much?"

"And I don't want your pity," the guitar joined her voice, an upbeat riff looping, the rhythm going up, "I just want somebody near me, guess I'm a coward, I just want to feel alright," her sweet voice pleaded. "And I know no one will save me, I just need someone to kiss, give me one good honest kiss and I'll be alright…"

Link wondered if she sang with so much heart out of personal experience, or if she was actually an excellent performer.

"Nobody, nobody, nobody, Nobody, nobody," the beat picked up, and she began dancing on her spot, "Ooh, nobody, nobody, nobody…"

The beat caught up again, she began swaying her hips to the music more energetically.

"I've been big and small" -she gestured with her hands- "And big and small, and big and small again, and still nobody wants me" -everyone clapped twice with her- "Still nobody wants me…"

I’d want ya, if you don’t mind, Link said to himself, kind of surprised by the statement of his inner self.

"And I know no one will save me, I'm just asking for a kiss" -she lowered to the crowd making eye contact with some of the public- "Give me one good movie kiss, and I'll be alright…" her eyes casually met with his.

Those lyrics, sung with such feeling, such yearning, made Link’s heart skip a beat. I’d kiss you, not only once. Several times, actually, if you want, of course.

"Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, Ooh, nobody," she began dancing, swaying to the music, shaking her head, hair now messy, owning the little stage, until the beat became slower, singing to the top of her lungs a thousand "nobody, nobody, nobody, no…" until the very last note, after which everybody at the pub applauded furiously.

"Zel, you rock!" Midna hollered, almost leaving her companion deaf.

She made a tiny pause. "Thanks everyone," she said and smiled, turning to thank the Zora band members, her cheeks blushed, tucking her hair behind her pointy ear as she put the mic on the stand with her free one, then leaving it by the right side.

Midna gestured for Link to follow her, both surfing and shuffling to get out of the crowd, meeting the singer at the back, who rested with her back against the wall, looking for something on her bag.

"What a stunner was that!" Midna shrieked, hugging her.

"I needed it," Zelda sighed, leaning on her friend. "It's been a rough week."

"I know, baby," she patted her head. "I came with the friend I wanted to introduce to you," Midna changed the subject. "This is Link."

She waved at him shyly, a smile warm, soft, and friendly. "I am Zelda Harkinian-Nohansen, Midna has talked a lot about you," she extended her hand.

Her name ringed in his ear as if he had heard it before, but set the thought aside. Not every Friday night you get introduced to someone who looks as if the model of a Boldini or Singer Sargent painting had turned into flesh and bone… and appeared in a mini skirt.

"She has told me about ya too," he grinned, giving her a handshake. Her hands were delicate and thin against his broad, rough, square hands.

"I hope it's nothing bad," she let out a tiny chuckle.

"Only praise, Miss," he grinned. "I didn't know you sang so well!"

"I was a member of the choir in high school," she explained, even more blushed.

"She was so cute with her uniform and her braided hair!" Midna pinched Zelda's cheeks, like a proud, overbearing mother. "Let's have a pint with chips and have a chat."

Zelda and Link grabbed a table while Midna went to the bar.

"What is your field of study?" Zelda enquired with curiosity. "You aren't from the Engineering and Informatics Faculty, as far as I know. You don’t look like a Computer Science major, no offense."

"I'm studying Art, and a minor in Art History," he told her, staring with a piqued curiosity. "Can I ask ya somethin? I hope I don't sound like a creep."

"You aren't a creep," she shook her head, "I can feel it."

He made himself a mental note to not prove her otherwise before talking again.

"Your face is familiar to me," he confessed.

She gave him a tiny smile. "So is yours! Maybe because of this…" and looked for something in her bag, began tying up her hair in a bun, and put on a pair of tortoiseshell cateye glasses. He recognized now clearly who she was.

"I’m professor Rauru's assistant," she laughed, returning the frames to the bag, "you've probably seen me with my reading glasses in class."

"You dress differently too," he said, "more… “professional”, I’d say?"

"Yes," she nodded, a bittersweet smile on her lips. "But I'm not stuck up, I hope I didn't give the wrong impression."

"Hardly, ma'am!"

As Midna was about to return to the table with three pitchers and a large basket of fries under her arm, she saw her friends chatting, subtle glee drawn on their faces.

A mischievous smirk appeared in her purple painted lips.

"Just as I expected!" she said knowingly, and decided to wait just a little longer.

I have had 3 rockstars send help

ok i had the funniest fuckin idea for magical hearts

Shadow still isn’t quite out to all of (cough any cough) Vio’s friends about his dark magic and being a demon stuff and Vio hasn’t told them about being the literal embodiment of earth elemental magic and between them and now Vaati who is a seer and uses wind magic?? and how quickly they became very close friends and it makes blue jelly? they mad sus

Also shout out to bff Blue bff Blue for life --     “Nah, nah.” The blonde shook his head “You got it wrong. It’s just- it’s just like friend group hoodies.” Vio and his other color named friends were sitting around in Red’s living room. Vio on the carpeted floor cross legged and sleeves rolled up. Blue behind him on the couch messing with his hair, Red next to him and Green in the kitchen making tacos. His house was voted once for drink nights because of its comfortable size and furniture. There was no vote since. Especially considering that most of them lived in tiny dorm rooms. Going on almost four years now every Friday night was drinking night for the squad. A time to get together, talk about problems, talk shit, talk boys (and occasionally girls). And tonight was: ‘get Vio to spill the tea’ night.     So far they were regretting it. He’s usually pretty loose lipped about his personal life, his boyfriend, and their interesting friends a good few shots in. He had implied before about some questionable habits of theirs. The vagueness of his words however, sounded more like weird sex things. Or kink things they did as a group. Things were starting to click. The weird arm markings, incense, they could swear sometimes Shadow had horns and a tail for real, Vaati’s strange outfit, the eye color shifting. Naturally they could only come up with one solution.

    “Violet, Darling.” The most sober of them, Blue, caught his attention. “They’re fucking cult robes.”

I Belong to You Chapter Nine: Madness (NSFW)

Chapter Nine excerpt:

Link grinned over at her as he put his helmet on, his eyes squinting as he looked at her. “So, do you wanna drive?”

“What?” Zelda paused, strapping her helmet. “Are you kidding?”

Link shook his head. “It’s easy. I’ll teach you. It’s like riding a bike. You know how to ride a bike, right?”

Zelda laughed. He was crazy. “A motorcycle’s not the same as a bicycle, Link.”

“Sure, it is.” Link sat on the passenger seat, gesturing for her to take the front. “Come on, it’ll be an adventure.”

If crashing and burning was his idea of adventure, okay. Zelda stepped closer, eyeing the handlebars like they might jump up and bite her. “Whew!”

Link’s chuckle made Zelda realize that the expiration of air had been audible. Her cheeks pinked when he took her hand to guide her closer. Zelda sat in front of him. He shifted forward, placing his hands on her waist, and she took in a shuddering breath when his chest pressed against her back. Goddesses, did he know what he did to her with just a simple touch?

“Just remember to relax.” Link took her hands and placed them on the handles. “Left handle’s the clutch, right handle’s the throttle and front brake. Like a bike, don’t squeeze that front brake too quick. Slow and steady, even if you’re scared, okay?”

Remember how I said I was gonna make a college au for linked universe, and then I only wrote one fic before disappearing from the loz fandom?

I'm writing another fic for it now! Yay!

and completely ignoring all my other on-going projects! less yay, but sacrifices must be made sometimes

I think the reason I didn't write the au is just because I didn't really like it. The idea just didn't get me excited to write, but now that I've changed some things, I'm liking it more so I'll hopefully start writing it more!

In your avian AU, does everyone have wings or just the Links?

Hello my friend! I'm sorry it took so long to respond, finals have actually been killing me. 😅

In this AU Hylians are the main race (aside from the Rito) who have wings, although it isn't unheard of for Humans or the occasional Gerudo to have wings depending on their genetics and lineage and whatnot. The Gorons, Zora, and Rito all unfortunately don't have wings though for pretty obvious reasons. 🤣

But wings are one of two of the main physical features that distinguishes Hylians from regular humans. Much like how their pointed ears are said to be used to receive special messages from the gods, a Hylian's wings are believed to be a symbol of their close connection to the gods and should be used to climb the heavens to draw oneself closer to them. Not everyone believes in these theologies of course (*cough cough* LEGEND *cough cough*) but regardless, a Hylian's pointed ears and wings are typically interpreted as a symbol of their connection to the Goddess Hylia.

In other words, to answer your actual question, wings aren't limited to just the Links! Because of this, society as a whole all throughout Hyrule have adapted their infrastructure and social behaviors to support the needs of those with wings. For example, there are a surplus of designated landing areas, clothing stores, wing care/support items, furniture, buildings, etc. that have all been adapted specifically for those with wings. Basically wings are a pretty common sight throughout Hyrule! I hope this answered your question friend! 😊

Type: Ask

AU: Alpha Stud College Teacher AU- Highschool Reunion AU

Summary of the Question: Princess Peach. How is your thick booty doing after Link was done with it? And is it true that he made those cheeks clap all night long in different parts of the school?

“That brute made it hard to sit down for a while.” Peach grumbled as she squirmed in her seat. “And I think you already know the answer already.” She added as she looked at @superstar97 with deadpan annoyance.

Out-of-Fandom Longfic Recs

Looking for something good that you can sink your teeth into? Not necessarily LoZ? I can recommend some masterpieces and favorites. :) all these are complete!

Harry Potter and the Problem of Potions by Wyste. 180k. Yes yes HP I know. It was still a formative part of my adolescence and this is just fanfiction. Very satisfying fanfiction, in which Harry becomes a real character who desperately wants to be a potion master despite Snape's every attempt to dissuade him. Lots of fun.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by LessWrong. 661k. Longest thing on this list but HOO BOY is it worth it. Written by a guy to teach people about... well. Methods of rationality. Applies the scientific method to the HP-verse, makes Voldemort actually smart, and is a lot of fun the whole way through. You can read on FFN or by downloading an epub or PDF. At least try the first chapter I am BEGGING YOU.

The Dragon-King's Temple by Kryal. Avatar: the Last Airbender (show) & Stargate SG-1, 200k. I knew nothing about SG-1 going in, had only seen the movie, and really enjoyed this. Once again, the worldbuilding and the mystery are very very good. Like legitimately. Zuko & Toph focus!

Thrower of the Dart by Vathara. Avengers & Artemis Fowl (books) crossover, 100k. Picks up after the first Avengers movie and AF book 5 (the demon one.) Very nice plot, good character interactions, fun worldbuilding, mostly in the AF side.

let the shadows fall behind you by Sweetbriar15. Disney's Descendants (just the first one), 155k. Did you ever feel like the movie was a bit of a waste of a good story premise? This will help. Picks up after modifying the end of the first movie, introduces a lot of awesome character and worldbuilding information. Mal-focused, but not too heavily.

Phantom of Truth by Haiju. Danny Phantom, 58k. DP is full of whump fics, and this is probably one of the very best. Its sequel, Shadow of a Doubt, has stopped updating on AO3, but it should still be on FFN. SoaD is, iirc, 100k+, and quite good, dealing with the aftermath of the first.

Bandits and Bravery by LettdViolet. Fire Emblem: Three Houses, 28k. Linhardt/M!Byleth, modern college AU, the events of the game are played out by a group playing knockoff D&D. Themes of grief and mourning a parent's death, and finding comfort. Linhardt is like a sleepy version of Vio without as much evil. Shortest on this list but I LIKE IT OKAY

Carpetbaggers by cofax. Chronicles of Narnia, 120k. Fills in some of the time post-LWW with adventures and working on gaining trust. Feels a lot like a continuation of the book, though without the heavy-handed allegory.
