Twilight centred fanfic?

twilight meets the chain!??!?! Crazy, I finished the chapter planning and am now writing it, yay. Uhm, so the fanfic will atleast be maybe 20+ chapters long, imma aim for atleast a 150k word fic lol.

NEW FANFIC??? coming.... soon, maybe.

New fanfic. Yikes

heeeey. So, guess what? I lost a lot of motivation for my LU fanfic after my life started spiralling down hill. They fanfic author curse is real. I'm joking, I'll probably continue my fanfic in the next few,, years. Or something, maybe not. BUT!

I'm working on two new fics at the moment, a re-write/re-spin of my original Wild meets the chain story. And a Twilight fic (Wild is there as a mc to but it's focused on Twi), I'm gonna be finishing the next few chapters soon.

Also! I am looking for a beta reader. I have some of my irl friends who would be happy to beta read for me but I would prefer an actual LU fan or someone interested in my fanfics. So yeah lmk if you're interested and I'll dm you my discord. Have a good day, take care.

LU fic update???

Uh, I updated my LU fic on ao3? (Chapter 2)

Link held his almost numb hands closer to the flames, the fire crackled with laughter. His snowquill tunic only doing so much. The night sky open before him, he studied the stars. They seemed to form pictures together, Zelda had referred to them as constellations.

He wondered where she had read that. Or maybe Purah had informed her of the fact. She had told him with a wide smile on her face, the first one he had seen that wasn't from the memory of the man before him. She seemed so happy, calm, she had almost forgotten what had happened. Then she remembered and retracted back into herself. Link wanted to know her, truly, she was so kind. A genuine kindness too.

But Link knew that Zelda could never look at him without seeing the face of a man long gone.

Read the rest;

THIS IS SO GOOD IM CRYING 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭

hero's aspect wild still has mipha's grace, right?

i'm rereading the whole fic and i got to the bit where hyrule is sure he would've killed wild if he'd been there when they first saw him. and i thought-

well ok. what if he did. like they kill wild before sky can tell them what's really happening and everyone is horrified and then he. comes back to life. all's well that ends well! except the trauma i guess

OH MAN

Oh no!

(Oh Yes)

Aspects of a Terrible Mistake

They had messed up. They had messed up beyond messing up. ‘Messed up’ wasn’t even an appropriate word for how badly things had gone wrong.

Legend stared silently as Hyrule, sobbing, tried to pour his Life spell into a corpse. Beside him, Sky was paler than ash, his eyes wide and his lower lip trembling. Only a moment ago he had burst through the brush, panting, and shouted for them to stop, that this wasn’t a monster, it was a hero like them.

It was too late. Hyrule had shot true, his arrow going into one of the hero’s eyes and killing him instantly.

This couldn’t be happening. It couldn’t be real. It was a dream, a terrible nightmare, it-

Legend felt like the world was spinning without him. He couldn’t focus. He heard himself saying that he was going to get Time, knew distantly that he was moving through the forest towards their camp, but he was in a daze.

They’d killed a hero.

He didn’t know what he said to Time. He didn’t know what the old man said, just that his eye flew wide and he looked sick. The rest of the heroes - the heroes that hadn’t been part of the group that killed an innocent man - followed him to the river where the corpse was still lying prone and Hyrule was sobbing into his chest.

They eventually decided to give him a decent burial. It was the very least they could do. The new hero, whoever he was, was a big guy but Time could just about carry him back to camp.

They laid him out on a bedroll, as if he was only sleeping. It would take a while to dig a grave and they were determined to do this right, to clean the blood from his face and comb his hair before they buried him. They would take some of his jewellery, maybe his sword and that strange device on his hip so that they could give it to his own people if they ever went to his era.

Hyrule was still trembling as he removed the arrow from his eye and washed his face. Legend had no idea how the traveller, the sweet kind traveller, would ever forgive himself for shooting the killing shot. Legend had just been a part of the group that killed him and he felt wretched.

There was nothing he could think of to say.

Legend turned to see how the grave was getting on, and -

A gasp. The sound of someone stumbling backwards, and a whine.

Legend span around and screamed.

The dead man was no longer dead, and now was looking up at him with two wide, very frightened eyes.

What the f-

-

Link awoke with a gasp, his body aching and his head pounding. He had been dead a moment ago. He had been dead, he had been murdered and -

Oh Hylia, the boy who shot him was right beside him. Wild whined and tried to struggle away, but his limbs were heavy and numb after their temporary death. A few feet away someone screamed, a guy with pink hair who looked like he’d just seen a ghost. Which, yeah kinda.

But what the hell was going on?! He’d died in the river, but now he was in a glade, under a blanket. Were-

Were they planning to bury him? The killing boy looked like he’d been crying, what the hell was going on?!

Voices began to ring out as a group of more boys and men began to crowd around him, all looking shellshocked and disbelieving. Some, he recognised from the hunting party, others he did not. The largest of the group, a tattooed man with one eye, pushed his way through the crowd and knelt at link’s side.

“Everyone, give us some space. Sky, stay with me, help me explain.”

Link whined again, looking up at the tattooed man. Despite his intimidating figure he was looking down at him kindly. Link knew that he probably shouldn’t trust him, but he did.

-

Okay so this was all batshit crazy. According to one-eye - Time, his name was Time - they were all heroes from across time, all called link, and all drawn here by mysterious portals. Sounded like a lot of woo-woo bullshit to Link, but then Time’s friend, Sky, had let him hold his sword. The Master Sword.

Hylia, it was all true.

Call him crazy, but Link - Wild, he was now - didn’t hold a grudge. He’d died before, including by accident or at the hands of people who hadn’t realised it was him and not a monster. It was fine.

Well, it wasn’t fine, but Wild was forgiving and wanted to move on. Wanted to get to know his brothers.

It took a while. Weeks, really. He couldn’t communicate properly, couldn’t explain himself to them. Little by little, though, he broke down barriers between himself and the chain. The ones who hadn’t been in the hunt first, then one by one, the others.

Four. Warriors. Legend. Sky.

And then Hyrule. Much as Wild wanted to move on, it was hard to build a bridge with Hyrule.

He knew why the traveller had done what he did, probably would have done the same in his situation. Honestly, he was even pretty impressed by his shot!

But his subconscious was another matter. He got nervous around the traveller without any real reason, and Hyrule’s guilt was clearly affecting him too.

Then, one day on a hike the traveller had pulled out a bow as he turned to listen for monsters and Wild had jerked away on instinct. The look of shock and guilt and grief he then got from the traveller after that was horrible, and that night he found Hyrule’s bow snapped in half in a ditch.

In the end it was food that united them. Wild had seen Hyrule by the campfire and steeled himself, walking over and plopping down beside him.

Hyrule immediately made to move, to give wild space, but wild stopped him, putting a hand on his wrist. He rumbled softly, and offered his slate.

It took a while to get his meaning across, but eventually Hyrule understood that he was asking for food suggestions. The traveller would never be a great chef, but he could follow instructions and was genuinely excited to help.

It was the first time they had ever actually done something together and… it felt nice. Right. When they were done they had a damn good meal for the chain, and Wild ruffled Hyrule’s hair fondly. The traveller smiled shyly back up at him.

By the time they first made it to Wild’s world, the time Wild had be killed by Hyrule felt like a bad dream.

linked universe but the chain gets teleported into parkour civilisation & meet evbo and have to chose between doing a one block jump for the chicken or a one block vertical jump for the beef

kiznaiver x linked universe au :)

for context: kiznaiver is an anime about a team of 8 teens who’re part of an experiment/project that links (lol) them together so they can share each other’s physical AND emotional pain as a way to encourage the “one for all, all for one” dynamic in the team

NEXT COMIC >

anyway, more brainrot about this au below:

I love kiznaiver it’s such a good concept lol it works so well with the chain imo! anyway some stuff of note is that:

(spoilers for kiznaiver btw!)

1. in the anime emotional pain is more overwhelming (to the point of incapacitation) than physical pain, which I think it’s interesting for the chain considering all the emotional baggage they all carry and how that can be a hindrance for the group in the long run

2. in the anime, there was a failed attempt of this experiment that let to one of the kids to feel ALL the pain (x8) and the others to be painless, which I think would be a great source of whump for the chain if like, they try to cancel the spell but it goes wrong :)

3. great source of whump considering that dark link would only need to grab one of them to cause pain to all the others and get the upper hand :)

4. how team dynamics would change, especially if this happens to the chain at the beginning of the quest, like how wild would need to be less reckless while fighting, how all of their “self sacrificing” habits would be a huge weakness during battle too and how they’d really have to trust each other

anyway, that’s kinda it, i needed to like, express the brainrot this au has been causing me lol

Dragon talk 

"Wait," Twilight said slowly. His brain felt like it was rattling in his skull. He wanted to check the sky and earth around him to make sure that everything was still in place: the sun was where it was supposed to be, the mountains weren't walking around, that the fish weren't flying and the birds weren't swimming. "Say that again."

Warriors stared at him. He looked a little confused but that could have been leftover from the battle. Maybe that's all this was. Someone was concussed. Him or Warriors, Twilight wasn't sure yet. It had been a big explosion. "I'm twenty-two," he repeated slowly.

Maybe they were both concussed. "No, you ain't."

"Ain't ain't a word," Warriors retorted automatically. He paused. Cocked his head. He would have kept going in that direction and ended up in the dirt if Time hadn't gently righted him again. "...wait."

"I think they're both delirious," Legend said flatly. "We need to find Hyrule."

"They're not delirious," Time said, barely audible over Wild's frantic apologizing. Twilight didn't think Wild should have been apologizing, anyway. The last thing Twilight saw before those bomb barrels exploded was Warriors grinning and waving his fire rod around. "Just stupid. Captain, please stop moving. I need to see your head."

"Warriors just said he was twenty-two," Legend said. He gently pushed Wild away so he could look Twilight over. Twilight would have protested if Wild hadn't just moved to Twilight's other side to resume fussing. "He's something, all right."

"Yeah," Warriors said drolly. "Twenty-two. Ow!"

The right side of Warriors's head was bright red with blood. He had seen been grinning when the bomb barrels blasted them through the air. He had to be concussed.

"Don't be a baby," Time said, but Twilight saw him gently stroke the non-bloody parts of Warriors's head. "I swear you're more childish at twenty-two than you were at twenty."

"That's because you were a child when I was twenty," Warriors said. He flinched away from Time's probing fingers. "I'm fine. Let's get up and look for the others."

"You're covered in blood," Legend said. He didn't look away from where blood was matting Twilight's thick hair. "And delirious."

"And concussed," Twilight added.

Wild paused and stared at all three of them. "I'm lost. How old is Captain supposed to be?"

"Not twenty-two," Twilight said.

"Ancient," Legend said.

"Hey!" Warriors said.

Time sighed and pressed a bandage behind Warriors's ear. "He isn't concussed or delirious. He is twenty-two. Legend, is Twilight concussed?"

"I'm twenty-three," Twilight said blankly.

"Yeah, I think he is," Legend said.

"You aren't twenty-three," Wild said.

"I'm not?"

"Legend, please bandage the wound. Wild, give them some space."

Legend scoffed but grabbed the bandage Time held out to him. "I think we need more than bandages. They're both delirious."

"Neither is delirious. They're just idiots."

Warriors leaned away from Time's hands again. Time grabbed him and pulled him back. Warriors scowled at him. "Respect your elders, old man."

"Wait, what?" Wild scratched at his head. "Maybe I'm concussed."

"Oh Spirits," Twilight said in horror. "Am I Warriors's elder? I can't be older than Warriors!"

When Warriors paused to stare at him, Time took advantage to finish cleaning and bandaging his head. "Wait. How old do you think I am? Twilight. Hold old do you think I am?"

"You're older than Twilight, I know that much," Legend dismissed.

Wild frowned and carded his fingers through Twilight's hair. "There was gray on your muzzle when I first saw you."

"What?"

"Why does everyone think that I'm older than Twilight?"

"Incredibly delirious."

"Incredibly stupid," Time sighed.

Concussed. That had to be it. That was the only explanation. The trees were where they were supposed to be, they sky was where it was supposed to be. The only thing that wasn't where it was supposed to be was the blood, so that meant concussion. That had to be it.

"So wait," Wild said slowly. "If Warriors is Time's big brother and Warriors is younger than Twilight... does that mean Twilight is older than Time?"

Twilight whimpered and closed his eyes. They had to be concussed. If they weren't, then by the Spirits, he was going to grab that fire rod and find some more bomb barrels. A concussion might help at this point.

"Wild?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up."

Local insomniac and amnesiac accidentally scare the ever living daylights out of each other for completely different and very personal reasons.

I like the headcanon that the chain end up sharing and learning each other's songs! (Whether on purpose or by accident in the case of Legend here. It also ties into how Wild knows a bunch of their songs in totk!)

As usual, there's some extras under the read more!

I started coloring and then decided not to! Anyways- Pink Link Pink Link! Wind and Legend are crafting~ Wind's making what I know from camp as a pirate's rope bracelet >:) (though the actual name of the craft is kumihimo!)

Another one, this time with LU Wild, the poor man.

Hello Linked Universe fandom, been a while. May I offer you all a traditional drawing of our favourite lost wanderer, Hyrule.

The past few months has been hard for me, my anxiety has caused me a lot of problems. I have been in and out of school and lacking motivation to do much, going back to the first real fandom I was in brings me great comfort. I thank you lot for that, as well as the other lovely people in my life that are supporting me, and I hope to be able to post more often.

Tell us more about your elements au! 👀

Welcome to the world of Elements. 

A world ruled by large infected animals and humans alike. 

This world is one that my OCs, Mitch, Max and Robin all live in. But I thought that the lu cast would fit into the world pretty well.

World building:

People in this world have magic called elements. Each element is different and can shape the way the character acts. Elements grow with the person as they grown and they often appear when the child is young

Because of this magic, a large war broke out between two groups of people, those who felt that they should’ve been able to use their magic and those who thought that they shouldn’t. The war ended in a world-wide catastrophe that resulted in the apocalyptic land.

Animals were also affected by the magic, meaning that some creatures roam the land, some are harmless and some are not.

Magic items, like potions, staffs and fairies and other items infused with magic do exist, they are expensive and can aid travellers a lot 

There aren’t large cities or towns, only small trading towns where people trade materials with each other.

Large fields, plains and forests litter this land. Families have set up homes far away from each other to stay safe from the monsters.

Large, grotesque and feral monsters roam the land, they were once animals but were corrupted by an unknown disease thought to be the cause of everyone's elements, they’re called infected and can be defeated by burning the body

Hunters are large groups of people who ambush traveller and steal their supplies and leave them for dead

An infected human will slowly forget their memories as the infection takes over. They’ll soon become infected and rabid.

Infected fully turn after one week

Elements shape how people view a person or how that person views themself. I.e. a person with an element that hurts themself or others will affect the person's relationship and use of the element and will affect the way people will act and treat them I can talk more about it later, however that should be enough for some people to be able to follow with some of the other things that I have and will post about this au. Hope that helps! :D

More stuff for the au I’m working on. Some of it’s kinda old, again, sorry about that.

First ones for @w1lmutt never posted it here and its kinda old sorry about that. Last one was a quick sketch for uhhhhhhh... misfortunate monsters au I think. My internet has been on and off so during that time i drew a lot of stuff.

For my bro @caesar1141, I love their art and I wanted to do something nice for them. So I hope they like it.

Some concept art for the au I’m working on. Their designs are not and might change later. A lot of people seem to like it on the discord so I’m posting this here. You might see things of this later idk yet

More doodles, first one was done in school with my friends crayolas.

Uhhhhh, beep boop, idk what this is. I got lazy and messed up the line art so theres a black box there.

Beep boop, I offer doodles.

Uhhhh more doodles, I love Legend and Ravio but I don’t draw Ravio enough. the design of Wind belongs to @mmmwafflesart, I just really like the idea of Redead Wind. Oh and the one of the Legend designs belong to Sheepa on discord, idk if they have a tumbler.

Some doodles, yes i know I’m obsessed with shadow I’m sorry. Some part needed to be redone so it may looks ugly, once again I’m sorry.

Some warm up doodles, first one was voted by the LU discord. Some Vio and Shadow sketches. My friend wanted me to draw some minish so i spent my maths and english lesson doing that

Drew this while in a maths class before having to stop because of a fire drill then Krita died on me 3 different times when I was almost finished with the drawings.

Huevember, but I’m like 3 days late

Anyways Wild and his sister because I couldn’t think of anything
