Linked Universe Twilight - Blog Posts

♤♡♧◇ This is part two of FaeHyrule-1. Please read that before this. Or don't. ♤♡♧◇

“Ew. Sticky.” The voice of Fay drifted like an omen after being suddenly dropped like a hot potato into another Hyrule.

“Huh?” came the ever so elegant response.

It was weird a non-link was portaled with them. This never happened before.

A moment of confused and awkward silence passed before clarification came. "The surrounding magic: it’s sticky."

This was the answer to the question verbalized, but not the one they all had. Ordon stretched on around them, the eerie lull of night settling in on the heroes.

Twilight began to move and the others followed. All except Fay, who vanished without a sound before they could do a head count.

~

After setting up camp, Fay emerged. He looked slightly uncomfortable as he brushed off seemingly nothing from his tunic and pants and slowly sat to a croutch.

“I suppose it makes sense that you feel so sticky now.” Fay commented, staring right at Twilight.

“Umm… What?”

“What do you mean he feels sticky?” Legend inquired, “If anything I’d say he feels dusty from all the dirt and that pelt, but not sticky.”

“It's the magic. In the air, the ground, the plants, even in Twilight himself. It feels sticky and seems to leave a bit of residue on whatever it touches. It almost feels like eating too much කැරමල් … err, caramel…?”

Wild looked up from his boiling pot at whatever language seemed to resonate and ring in Legend’s head. Four tilted his head with a gleam in his eyes, and Time might’ve reacted based on a small twitch of his hand, but none of the others seemed to react.

“So, “ Fay spoke once more, “Can I have your names? And a possible explanation for this… kerfuffle?”

The chain all looked at each other, then zeroed in on Sky. To his credit, said hero did nothing but blink.

“Oh! Yes, of course! I’m Sky, that's Time, Twilight, Wild, Warriors, Legend, Four and Wind” Sky introduced, pointing to each as he said their names.

Fay expected the tethers of given names, that small twist of magic emulating small candlelights of lifeforce, indicating he now held a thread connected to that person’s existence. What he didn’t expect was how bright and strong the flames would be, not that he'd do anything with them.

“Although, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you those are just nicknames.”

Fay hummed in interest, wondering what made nicknames so powerful, and turned to fully face Sky. The other brought his fancy sword from beside him and onto his lap.

“We’re actually all named Link, “ Sky continued, “Reincarnations of the hero’s spirit from across time. We all fought to save our lands, some of us more than once, but this is the first time we’re doing it as a group. Our current theory as to why we were all gathered is because Hylia needs us all to fight off some big, horrible evil. Though the only evidence we’ve got of that evil are the black-blooded monsters.” Sky seemed saddened by their lack of progress, but tried to hide it with a pleasant topic change.

“Enough about us, care to share anything interesting about yourself?”

Fay hummed, “Well I suppose it's only fair if we trade. I was also originally called Link. I do prefer Fay though. It’s been my name since I met Pond mother. Link never really quite fit.”

“Umm, ” Sky stammers, not sure what, if anything, to say to that. “Okay,” he settles for, the word coming out a bit hollow-sounding.

“So why Fay?” Wind, ever the conversationalist, steamrolls on through the others’ momentary social glitch.

“It’s easier to slip under the radar with. I don’t remember much being Link but sacred sunlight above do you know how worked up people got when they would hear my name? It’s like no one could decide whether I was a plague personified sent by their demons or a god of life that came to rid the world of all inconveniences.”

“Rude” sniffs Wind in a comical and overdramatic charade. Though with a blink, Wind’s face fell into shock.

“Wait! Link!? You’re a Link! Holy fuck no wonder!”

A small, pitiful “language…” came from Twilight. His voice was snuffed out by Wind’s jubilated rambling, though a snort and a couple huffs let him know he was, in fact, heard.

“So I’m guessing we don’t need the whole Fi ceremony?” Warriors joked.

“Good thing too, ” Sky said back in a more exasperated tone than Warriors would expect, “‘Cuz his hero title is Hero of Hyrule and I think that’s just a disaster waiting to happen.”

♤♡♧◇ Plot? What plot? I was supposed to have one of those? And be consistent? Huh? Anywho, my focus is on Hyrule being a fae, not a cohesive world. Juggling all nine of ‘em is hard, blink and you'll miss it time and four. Note: Fae language is google translated Sinhala, it's not accurate or exact in what I want to say. Sorry, it's just pretty. ♤♡♧◇ Kudos to my sister who beta read and helped me get words outa my brain. <3

the thing this somewhat goes with but you don't have to read: FaeHyrule-1

♤♡♧◇

Memory is Overrated

The heros were fighting a group of monsters. What else was new? Wild was cursed by a wizrobe. Oh right, that's new. Wild was cursed by a wizrobe! No one knows what the curse was, but Wilds' scars are now fresh-ish burn wounds, and he's a bit shorter. Maybe it was a de-aging spell? But those usually make one a child, and not... well, whatever age wild is physically at the moment.

~~~wild pov~~~

he woke up to noises. He wasn't sure what they were, where they came from, or what they meant, all he knew was that he could hear them. He felt like there were other Hylians around him. How did he know they were Hylians? Was that normal? How is he able to tell? Was he supposed to know about them? He didn't know, so he simply took to observing the black void with shiny white dots and green around the edges. He soon started to count the shiny dots. What's counting? How'd he know how to do it? After a while it seemed the counting could not continue and he took to just observing once more.

"Oh hey, you're up." A hylian with brown hair popped into his view and made weird noises. Why was it making those noises? He stared at the Hylian in confusion. Why is he doing that? Is that what one does when confused? Make a facial expression to convey that feeling?

"You ok, Wild?" More noises, different from the last set of noises, but still incomprehensible. He continued to stare in confusion.

"Hey twilight, can you come over here?" The hylian turned its head in a different direction. Were the noises for communication? Another brown haired hylian approached. Did all hylians have brown hair? The two made quieter noises to eachother. Did volume have a meaning?

"Hey cub? Can you hear me?" Just like with the other hylian, he stared in confusion. Was he supposed to understand the noises? They seemed to be directed towards him.

"His ear twitched, he can hear me, but doesn't seem to understand me."

The second hylian turned to the first. There was a look of regret in his eyes. How'd he know that? What's regret?

♤♡♧◇

wild's scars look like fresh-ish burns. He's a bit shorter. Left eye is glowing sheika blue (there's a scar across it). He has a few, vague memories of the champions and knight training. He remembers some speech and like, five half recipes. So, basically, the gang must now take care of a mostly feral Wild.

♤♡♧◇

found this while cleaning out my notes, dunno how nor when i made this beauty.

"Heads up!" a voice yelled, causing all eight of them to look up towards the cloaked figure in a tree. An arrow embedded itself between a bokoblin's eyes, effectively killing it. The mysterious hylian then jumped down, landing on another bokoblin, crushing it, and immediately moved to engulf a moblin in flames. In less than a minute, the remaining monsters were all dead. 

This was the first hylian they'd seen since arriving in this desolate Hyrule.

"Y’all good? No injuries?" Closer up they could see a freckled nose and a small grin, but the shadow of the cloak’s hood covered the strangers eyes. 

"Other than a few bruises and scrapes, nope." Time answered for the group.

"Neat. Have some chunks- just in case." the stranger said, tossing a bag over to him. "Crush them in your hand and sprinkle it over injuries. Or just eat 'em. Whichever is easier." Having said that, he turned and left to pluck his arrow from the bokoblin.

"Hey wait, what's your name? Where's the nearest town? We haven't seen anyone for ages!" Wind rushed to get it all out before the stranger could leave. He turned around, putting the arrow back in his quiver. 

"The name's Fay. And I think the nearest town is about two days to the south."

~

Link, who goes by Fay nowadays, would very much like to go home, re-bandage his leg, and go to sleep. Alas, sleep is unavailable, as he needs to stop the deaths of some odd travelers who somehow have no clue where they are. Isn't it common sense to only go on these types of roads if you’re well prepared and know what you're doing? Apparently not. 

He finally shook them off after giving directions to the nearest town and heading in the opposite direction. Or so he thought…

Three days later, he came across another monster camp. That wasn’t unusual. The monsters were a bit tougher and had black blood. That was unusual. Fay defeated them all the same with a sword, fire, and some lightning. 

Which was when the odd group showed up. Again. 

"Hello again! I thought you went a different direction than us." the white-caped one spoke up. 

"You weren't following us, were you?" the blue-scarved one asked with narrowed eyes. 

Fay flicked the black blood off his sword before sheathing it. It seemed to catch the attention of quite a few. "I was, but now I'm here. I’m a traveler.”

The one with a wolf’s pelt blinked, processing that, then glanced at the one with one eye. “We went to the village, but they wouldn't let us in. Something about eyes?”

Fay shrugged, “It happens. People are often spread thin on resources and wary of newcomers. The eyes of Ganon are everywhere after all.”

Before any of them could reply he tilted his head, starting to feel a strange tug on his magic. A dark purple and black portal opened beneath their feet, slurping them all up.

♤♡♧◇

Chunks/ කෑලි (kǣli): crystalized fairy dust. It has a similar Mohs to chalk. The fairies don't have to leave their fountains spending days in a bottle, and hylians don't have to spare precious resources. "Why can't you just eat the chunks? Isn't that the obviously easier option?" you may ask. Well, if you eat the chunk, the effect will be equally spread about. The chunk doesn't know what the fuck you want it to do. if you crush and sprinkle it over an injury, the effects will be stronger and targeted to that one area.

The brain rot wouldn't leave, so I wrote somethin. Credit to my sister who beta read. <3 I write once in a green moon. Today was a green moon.

I drew him from memory, it's been a while.

Twi but he's having an exstinential crisis

"Good to see you up Twi." "Thanks, good to be alive." Something isn't right here...

For the art ask: How about some transformed LU boys? Like Mer Legend, Minish Four, Fairy Hyrule, and you can figure out the rest.

Don't forget to stay hydrated & get some rest! 🖤

Transform? How about we corrupt...

I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted.

Some filler while I work on my mass amount of art requests.

Yes they are still open and will always be open. Fandom work only.

Have wolf boi

Yeet the child, round two.

@returnofthephoenix @ahrva

Thank you Lu Discord VC for picking this one out of all of my asks.

I COULDN'T FINISH IT, SO THE REST OF THE DIALOGUE IS BELOW. IM SORRY I'M LAZY Thinking because like- Legend spent an entire adventure in Hytopia (Literally a fashion based kingdom) so he'd probably have the best fashion sense out of any of the Links.

Didn't want to ruin Wild's beautiful face so I proceeded to made his hand see-thru.

Mind my Print/Cursive handwriting...

Dialogue:

Twi: "Why am I the one who has the wear the disguise?" Wild: "Because you look the least suspicious!" Twi: "I don't really understand- This doesn't fit me at all. There's no way-" Wild: "Twilight! Trust me, you're perfect for this!" Twi: "If you say so…" *After some modifications* Wild: 'Okay done!' Wild: "Perfect! Straight eye catching." "You'll fit right in!" Twi: "You're sure?" Wild: "Definitely." Legend: "Something's missing." Wild: "Oh? Like what?" *Pause, Wind enters* Wind: "How about this?" Legend: "Where'd you find that?" Wind: "Four found it; said it was a midnight rose." Legend: "I like it." *he smirks* Legend: "Wild, give me a pin." Wild: 'Kay.' Legend: Alright, looks good." *Boys enter room to the rest of the Chain* Wars: "Ooohh, someone's ready for the ball tonight." Twi: Is dying inside. *scoffs* No, I don't apologize for not sticking to the 'Warriors being the one to be picky about appearance.' Yall can fight me all you want, Legend would be the man for that. Bro spent time being ridiculed and pestered about a fashion sense for too long not to learn something. Warriors outfit and scarf was gifted to him. Bitch just looks pretty, he totally owns it too, I'll say that. He can be the one who messed with Twi's hair. :] Was originally a fic idea, but like, then I drew Twilight- It then turned into a comic.... -Which still counts as fanfiction technically- Meanwhile, if this gives you any ideas, please share them with me. Also, whoever you are. This made me choke when I read it.

For the request why not clothes swap between member of the chain ? If you want a more precise request then seeing Hyrule and Twilight swapping clohes (with the clothes adjusted to their height so they still fit the wearer even when swapped) would be cool !

Although everything you want to do with concept would be great so feel free to play with it as much as you'd like 👍.

ohhhhhh

Wolf Twi wolf twi wolf twi

Here you go! Have Time too.

TW: Blood/Injury

---0--w--0---

His feet dragged along the ground, they were tired. Tired of running. Striving to find somewhere safe, somewhere to rest, breathe.

"Wild."

Twilight's voice went up an octave, his anxiety evident.

"It's on the surface?"

"Yes." Wild dragged a hand along the rough edge of the rocks.

"They moved up from this last night and then called in all the resources."

Twilight glanced up at the sky, then around the many cracks along the mountain.

"So someone is out there." Wild conceded.

Twilight looked too Wild.

"I thought there was a hidden entrance down here? I thought... There were rumors of secret entrances in the caverns. Rumors of them bringing others here." 

Wild was hoping Twilight was wrong.

Wild's voice stuttered. "No. The entrances maybe, but not- not bringing people to them." 

"I'm not surprised there would be, with what's been going on. Losing everyone…"

Wild took in a shuddering breath. 

"You're sure?"

"I am."

A large crash of trees could be heard in the distance.

"They're chasing us."

"I know." Twilight breathed.

Wild worriedly glanced back at him. Looking Twilight up and down, trying to atleast get a vague idea of how he was fairing.

"We have to move, faster, if they catch up to us there's no escaping them." He said.

Wild stopped to look back at him.

"How's your leg?"

Twilight gave Wild a defiant look.

"It's fine."

Twilight was breathing heavily, sweat dripping down his face. The grimace he wore on his face evident of the pain he was in. They were moving a bit faster than walking pace, but Twilight's struggle was true- he couldn't go on much longer.

"It's not." Wild replied.

Twilight huffed, it stuttered and wheezed.

"There's no use in worrying about it, there's nothing we can do right now. No potions, no elixirs, nothing. I just have to push through." He was leaning deeper against the rocks as he dragged himself further along.

"But-" 

"No Wild. If they catch up to us, you need to keep moving, find the entrance. We're the only ones left, the only ones left to solve this issue. If I'm taken, then you need to keep going."

Wild's face was struck with frustrated emotion.

"I can't- I can't leave you behind."

Twilight looked to Wild with the most serious expression he could muster.

"You will."

Wild looked forward again, frustrated tears boiling over the chance of having to leave his friend- brother behind. Just like the rest of them.

"Okay." Was all he said in reply. 

There was a pause as Twilight caught his breath.

"Promise me."

Wild waited a moment, his brain spinning with the situation they had managed to find themselves in. 

"I promise."

They continued on in silence, the rustling of grass and crumbling rocks beneath their feet, the only other sound was of Twilight's heavy breathing. Screams could be heard in the distance. Wild rushed to find the entrance to the cavern, it was their only chance. The last place to look, the last place to go. If only, if only they had something, anything to help them along the way. Anything to help Twilight, to ease him of his pain. Minutes passed.

The lack of time they had was evident, there was no way they could make it at the pace they were currently going. Wild wouldn't leave Twilight behind, he couldn't. Twilight was all he had, vise versa. No one was left.

Twilight openly whimpered, as he took a stumbling step. His leg was mangled, bleeding, as it buckled under him. He crashed to the dirt below.

"No, no, no, Twilight please! Get up, we have to keep going."

Wild cried out in panic, tears streaming down his face. He scrambled and pulled at Twilight to get him to get up, to keep walking, to keep going. 

"Please, please, we are almost there I promise. We can make it, just a little bit further Twi, Please."

Twilight didn't reply, trying to control his breathing. He made no move to follow Wild's insistent grabbing and pulling. He was nauseous with pain, he couldn't move his leg any further. He inhaled with a stuttering breath, and moved to unclasp the strap around his shoulder holding the Master Sword. His ears were ringing as the sheathed Master Sword fell from his back to the ground.

His vision was hazy, but he was stubborn.

Twilight shakily grasped the sword and pushed it to Wild's chest from where he was leaning over him. He could see Wild's lips moving, but he couldn't hear a word that was being said. The constant ringing grew louder as his grasp on the sword wavered, and his world tilted. 

"Twilight, Twilight, TWILIGHT, no, no, no, no, no-"

Twilight fell forward into Wild's chest, barely conscious but breathing. While his hand slipped from the sword and clattered to the ground once again- he held onto Wild the best he could. His gloved hand fisted into the fabric of Wild's bloodied blue tunic.

"Go."

That was l he said as he went limp in Wild's trembling arms. Wild screamed, cried, and gave a frustrated yell. He was sobbing, he curled around Twilight. 

Another scream, this time closer.

He sobbed, and gently laid Twilight into the gravel filled grass. He grabbed the Master Sword and ran. He ran along the mountain's rocky surface as fast as he could, stumbling and tripping along the way. There, in the distance he would see it, a glowing crack in the surface of the rock. He looked to the bracelet around his wrist, and the sheathed Master Sword held tightly in his hand. And he ran straight into the crack within the wall of the rock. His world spun around him, colors and images whirling, mixing around him. 

With a sudden lurch he came out the other side. The world around him was calm, the sun shining, birds chirping, not a monster in sight. A stark contrast to what he and Twilight were experiencing moments before.

Twilight.

Wild sank to the fluffy green grass below him and sobbed. He clutched the Master Sword to his chest and grieved. They were gone, all of them were gone. He was alone, alone again.

I've never actually written anything for LU yet that wasn't in comic form or something like a short drabble, so this is a change! There's no clear setting, it's supposed to just jump into it randomly. I like to write things like that. There's no intro, no context in the beginning. You learn as you read, and sometimes you have no idea what's really going on. Sometimes you have no idea who's leading the conversation. It's a mystery.

I'm a very heavy angst type of person, so I hope you enjoyed it regardless. I even made a little piece of art to go with it.
