I have another account @lu-novelization where I do image descriptions and novelizations to try to help Linked Universe be accessible to people with low vision! It is very much work in progress.
[Header ID: Screenshot from the Oracle of Ages game. It is pixelated art of a simple sailboat on the ocean. The clouds are fluffy in the sky and there are nine birds flying near the ship. In the bottom right corner, the words “The End” are written in large orange font. End ID.]
[Icon ID: drawing by @wolfy1298 of Linked Universe Sky in a cutesy animated art style. He is smiling up at the camera with his eyes closed and his sailcloth (white cloth) is wrapped around his body like a cape. There are sparkles surrounding his head. In the bottom, the words say “would fist fight god.” End ID.]

Linked Universe Long Stories
Authenticity: (24/?) Wild POV, Autistic Wild because I'm autistic and he's my comfort character
Summary: Wild knew he was… odd. He experienced the world differently than everyone else. No one seemed to feel as deeply as he did, about the things he did. Sometimes he would interact with people and it would just feel… off. It was as if everyone else had a rulebook on how to be a person but Wild was left watching and guessing.
And the thing is, Wild knew his friends knew it too. But these new friends, they were different. They didn’t treat him like he was different, or broken, or a burden. They just took him in stride. Wild didn’t know how to put into words how much that meant to him.
In which Wild is autistic because I’m autistic and I want him to be.
Gratitude: (3/9) Sky fluff!
Summary: 8 times Sky receives a gratitude crystal from the chain + 1 time he gives some away.
In Defense of Honor: (4/9) Badass Sky appreciation, Sky-centric with individual chapters for the others
Summary: 8 times Sky defends another member of the chain + 1 time they all defend him.
Only the Wild Ones (are the ones you can never catch): (5/5) Wild & Twilight centric Wild meets the chain
Summary: At 6, Link visits Castle Town for the first time and meets some strange men in the woods. At 12, Link pulls the Master Sword and sees his imaginary friends again. At 14, Link is appointed as the Princess’s personal guard and is grateful to have old friends on his side. At 16, the Calamity strikes, and Link has never felt more alone. At 16, Link dies.
At 117, Link defeats evil incarnate and saves Hyrule. At 117, Link meets eight peculiar heroes for the first time. Or, at least, what he believes is the first time.
Twilight thinks the Goddess Hylia has a cruel sense of humor and needs to leave his cub alone.
Favorite LU Oneshots
Sentiment: Warriors and Time have a disagreement. AKA two traumatized heroes don’t know how to handle emotions and then they try to have a healthy conversation about it
Delirium: Sky’s whittling slowed, hands lowering into his lap. His gaze was locked on Wild, as it had been for most of the afternoon. Wild wouldn’t stop twitching. Sky couldn’t figure out why. Based on kikker-oma’s art.
Welcome Home: The chain arrives at Lon Lon Ranch, and Malon’s words trigger a memory.
Bouquet: Wind, Wild, and Hyrule are planning a prank. They're quite obvious about it, but Time lets it happen anyway.

Heroes Spirit Fanfic
Space Bugs: Bugs In Space: (1/1)
Summary: Cori teaches Eras how to identify insects. Space AU.
Swamp Bugs: Bugs Not In Space And Not Quite On Land: (1/1)

On Our Best Behavior: (14/14) (3,002 words)
Summary: Short Bonus Links Prompt Fills for Flufftober 2023.
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom Fanfic:
Affection: (6/6) BOTW
Summary: Five times others make assumptions about Link and Zelda plus one time they figure out what their relationship means to them. Or, Link and Zelda in a QPR.
More: (1/1) BOTW
Summary: Link and Zelda bond over flames and Zelda has a lot of feelings about it.
Speaking to the Wind: (1/1) TOTK
Summary: Link updates Zelda on his progress. She isn’t there to respond. AKA Link is lonely and is having a lot of big feelings.
Falling Through the Air: (1/1) TOTK
Summary: Link discovers her.

I don’t know why but this part made me want to punch his stupid mouth and tell him to shut up 😂 idk exactly why but you get the vibes I’m sure
He’s just. He’s never shown a real life emotion, I think
His portal looks different and I’m extremely eepy right now so I can’t remember if it’s different because Lana made it for him or if he gets a special one because he’s Goddess’s Most Perfect Boy ™ (aka because he sucks 😂)
I always forget he wears heels and then I see his heels and I’m like god of course he wears heels
As I was zoomed in on the boots scripting that comment in my head I broke off halfway through and thought very loudly IS THAT BLOOD and then resumed scripting the comment. I just need you to know that
I really like how you showed the voice coming from the stone thingy. It’s very creative and also very clear that it’s from the stone thingy and not from wherever war is
I THINK OF HIS LOST POTENTIAL AS A DANCER AND I CRY!!!! His scarf also looks like one of those ribbons for the ribbon twirling dance sport
Ok at first I thought the last page meant War found Spirit and said farore preserve me in response to seeing spirit again and I laughed. That’s so funny. BUT THEN I WAS LIKE. WAIT. WAIT WAIT. They are not in the same place???? Who is this where is spirit
And now I’m not sure if War was complaining bc this area looks annoying or because he recognized it as a place spirit lives (idk how he would know though… hmmm) and either way this is still a very funny reaction I hate him I love him
Just two boys with the most healthy coping mechanisms to ever coping mechanism <3 they’ve never made bad decisions in their lives nope never ever <333333
I have gotten into fic binding and this is the first one I’ve made for the LU/LoZ fandom!! The fic is My Heart’s Forsaken Me by @sister-dear, with art by @spheresr4cubes!!!!
Isn’t it so perfect!!!!!! I am so so so happy 😁😁😁 This fic is going to be my beach read on vacation this year YIPPEE!!!!!
I used Barnes & Noble personal-use book printing services to make this wonderful creation. Since this was not my first time, I already had the document formatting ready to plus this fic into. All-in-all, it probably took 3 hours? Maybe 4? To get everything into the document, do formatting, add images, and design (a word I use lightly lol) the covers. Figuring out the best print formatting the first fic I ever did spanned many hours over a few weeks as it was quite finicky. So I am overjoyed with how well it turned out!!!!
Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.
If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.
The complete triforce of the zonai/dragon armor sets. I love all three of them but the ember set is my favorite one because of the horns and also because Dinraal is my favorite of the dragons 🔥
I'm sooooo normal about warrior going feral in o!sk about twi.
Man is about to start construction on a house RIGHT NOW. NO ONE tell him twis hungry and his belly aches.
He will harvest and cook pumpkins himself and then massage that tummy by the honor of him being an alpha!!! Its a normal reaction guys!
(Except if any other of the groups alphas eats to provide for twi, then he might bite.)
There are some lines in this that I am D-Y-I-N-G to share with you, but I want the twists to be surprises. So until then,
Twilight instantly gravitated to [Warriors's] familiar touch. He was sluggish, exhausted from the ups and downs of the last several hours, and he sank against him tiredly. He tucked his face into the side of the captain's neck and breathed him in, humming happily at the familiarity of having him near. Across the room, Wild breathed a subtle sigh of relief.
Overwhelmed by the heat in the room, Warriors's mind was swimming through scents and hormones and a deep, howling need that simply couldn't be resisted.
But not right now.
Right now, Twilight needed to rest, and Alpha would watch over him.
