   THE  KNIGHT  HAS  ENOUGH  SENSE  TO   PAUSE  before  the  monarch,  a  certain  degree  of  apprehension  from  years  o f surviving  in  the  castle  walls  that  link  doesn't  think  he'll  ever  be  able  to  shake --  the  court  of  hyrule  is  a  fickle,  lawless  thing,  and  the  feelings  he  carries  for  the  twilight  queen   vexes   him   worse  than  any  puzzle  he’s  known.   courage,  however,  drives  him  forward  to  press  a  gentle  kiss  upon  queen  midna’s  knuckles.    the   gesture  itself  is  like  a  brand,  burning  his  mouth  &  hands  as  link  touches  something  ethereal  &  holy  &  far  removed  from  him. "  what  shall  we  do  today,  my  queen  ?  ”  

(   it  comes  out  far  too  breathless  &  affected  for  something  professional,  and  the  feeling  of  her  hand  in  his  may  color  his  thoughts  in  rose  &  twilight  for  days.   )  / @triloved

crestedhouse‌ /  MY  LADY ,  MY LIGHT

          “  ah ─ !  a  dashing  champion  approaches .  ”  soft  heart  bleeds  love  as  she  catches  sight  of  him ,  smile  warm  &  kind  the  moment  she  does .  “  will  you  kneel  &  let  me  offer  you  a  token  of  my  favor ,  good  sir ?  ”  the  back  of  her  hand  comes  to  hide  her  mouth ,  muffling  her  giggle .  some  things  simply  cannot  change ,  no  matter  how  much  time  has  passed .

@caraegis​ ! ( please im beg )

  “  DASHING  ------ ? “  his  laugh  is  gentle,  full  of  light  as  courageous  heart  blooms  at  the  sight  of  her.  some  things  are  eternal,  withstanding  the  test  of  time --- to  that  end,  nothing  about  them  has  changed  in  the  slightest.  perhaps  a  few  things ---  he,  now  a  knight,  and  she,  a  royal  lady  draped  in  gowns  befitting  her  new  station.

   still,  he  kneels for her,  a  lopsided  smile  on  his  face  as  shaggy  blonde  locks  obscure  the bloom to it.   “ you  honor  me,  my  lady  mercedes,  but i  fear  that  i  am  simply  content  to  be  in  your  presence.  also,  did  you  do  something  with your  hair ? “

❝ am i so beautiful that you’ve got no words left? ❞ // triloved omg... im too lazy shdhbf

     THE WORDS ARE TERRIBLY FAMILIAR, despite link never hearing them before — and so too, were the circumstances they were under. something haunts him as they stand in front of the repaired mirror, a ghost of a memory that wasn’t his, tears biting at his eyes as she stands in the mirror’s light.

“you’ve always been beautiful.” the words leave him in a breathless exhale, a piece of his soul breathing a sigh of relief — ALL HEROES HAVE REGRETS, DEAR BOY, his father would tell him, as he flipped through stories upon stories of the heroes that came before, to be a hero is not the easiest path, but it’s a good path to have.a thousand heroes live in him — a thousand lives lived, a thousand regets dying on their lips. but in this moment, the melancholy of twilight will at the very least absolved one.

“you’re beautiful.”  the wild boy’s eyes fill with tears, coming faster than he could scrub them away. “sorry, midna…. i promised myself i would see you off with a smile, but i’m…. i’m gonna miss you.” 

the hero of twilight promised himself to see midna off with a smile, unaware that it was the last time he’d see her in his lifetime. maybe his sorrow is both his and twilight’s, or maybe it’s his entirely. and maybe still, the memory of midna breaking the mirror is something he shouldn’t have.

either way, the queen of twilight leaves with a gift from the hero, and a piece of his heart as well.

my dearest uncle. / triiforced‌. 

ancient god walks upon hylian soil for the first time ; & they find that no goddesses come to spite them , to throw him back to forgotten cursed lands . they are tentative as they journey , around the outskirts of hateno & then in . how strange .

it isn ’ t much longer before they are back within link ’ s house , seated in a too small chair for their too big frame . ‘ homey , ’ they say in approval . ‘ reminds me of my own home . ’ 

starter call . ( a ; @caraegis . )

the hero is far too excited to see his uncle ; emerging from the mask in sinews of light, twisting & turning to give the spirit flesh. they’re taller in person, & his only regret is that they’re ( unfortunately ) a bit too wide for the hero’s arms to hug. 

( it didn’t stop him from trying when they first appeared, hollering in excitement before clinging to his uncle --- a piece of a family he’s crafted for himself, finally here & in the flesh. )

he’s already introduced him to half the town on their way over, the wild - boy taking it upon himself to pour his heart & soul into a meal fit for kings. while it took him a while to save the rupees for it, the kitchen was beautifully made, & the furniture all that much sweeter from the lumber he collected. ( though, he definitely wants to get uncle a more suitable chair. and a bed. )

“ i know, right?! “ he’s busying himself with chopping vegetables, the hero more talkative than the war - god that sits in his living room, “ it’s perfect! there’s even a place for epona, and the local construction guys are really nice, too!” the young man laughs, switching to the soup before gesturing animatedly with the spoon. “ oh! come over here and tell me what you think of the soup, uncle! i just added the last of the endura carrots in! i figured you were hungry, so i was thinking about serving it with either meat-stuffed pumpkins or a meat and rice bowl! “

[atdusk]

         but you know, you don’t have to look so sad!  we actually find it to be              quite livable!  i mean, is perpetual twilight really all that bad?     

[caraegis-a]

   GODDESSES DO NOT NEED THEIR REASONS. rationally, he knows this --- that as kind as they were, the golden trio could also be cruel, without mercy, and without reason. but there is nothing rational about the barbaric punishment wrought against the queen of twilight --- there is nothing rational about how he raged and cried and burned until his uncle had to finally intervene, until the hero’s throat was raw and tears burned at the edges of his eyes.

    YOU DIDN’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT STUPID MIRROR ANYWAYS! 

   the logic behind its destruction was sound, but the reaction to the mirror’s end was not. & this is where he cannot reconcile the supposed benevolence of the goddesses he knows with such a cruel, unjust act.

   life isn’t fair --- it rarely is. it’s never been fair to any of the holders, & historically, the burden is always hardest ‘pon the heroes in green.

   but if the goddesses won’t do something about midna’s curse, it won’t stop him from trying to help. scarred, nimble fingers sneak flowers into the monarch’s horns, the hero giggling and ducking out of midna’s view. 

   life may not be fair, but that doesn’t mean it has to be miserable. / @triiforced because i started out with angst and then just kinda. settled on cute.

[caraegis-a]

( beloved uncle ! /  triiforced. )

fades back in immediately . ‘ of course , you needn’t only ask . what ’ s on your mind , nephew ? ’

oh thank the goddesses, you scared him.  “ i’m not sure. i think i’m just a bit lonely, but i can’t really tell. it’s good to know that you’re here! “

[caraegis-a]

triiforced‌:

‘ i ’ ve decided not to take part in this . ’ fades out .

uncle please wake up, i made dinner and i’m sad.

[caraegis-a]

never mind i’m awake

[caraegis-a]

anyways with that... i slep. god i missed writing my boy..... pure of heart, dumb of ass, filled with love......

uhhh like this to plot when i wake up,,, gnoot uwu

[caraegis-a]

“HEY HEY HEY. midna. midnaaaaaaaaaaaaa. did you know that i love you???" shhh, he's not drunk! what are you talking about? he's giggling because he's nervous, miss twilight princess. "'caaaaause i do!!! like, a whole lot. like-- THIS much-- FUCK!" 

holding out your arms as wide as they can go requires more balance than the slightly tipsy hero currently possesses. unfortunately for the princess of twilight, link isn’t inclined to move when he lands on her lap, only moving to rest his head upon her thighs and beam up at her. “’m okay! i’ll get up sooner or later... “ 

he’s distracted again, blue eyes taking in the twili’s features in breathless awe.... & even if their reunion is several incarnations late, she’s still as beautiful as the day she left.

“....you’re so pretty, your highness.” / @atdusk didn’t ask for a Tipsy Affectionate Giggly Boy, but got one anyways.

[caraegis-a]

anyways the direct has left me no choice but to hop directly back onto my bullshit.

speaking of my bullshit: ilu @atdusk
