#blue x shadow

[singingvio]

Hello Tumblr it’s been quite a while!! Here’s a Mer AU Bludow piece that I did for the Four Swords Sanctuary gift exchange hosted on Ao3 for @adel-memes! The prompt was such a JOY to draw and I finally remembered to share it here!

Hey hey! <3 check out my cowboy Shadow au! 👀👀

A young man itched the purple scruff across his jawline. Dirt all over his skin, smudged on his nose, hair greasy and eyes dark and worn. He was sitting in town, nothing much to do and too much at stake to get up to any trouble. The spring season should bring an opportunity, or at least he prayed so. Shadow had planned this for nearly a year. He had saved up and ran off. Not very far granted, but taking an entire year to save up enough money for a handful of meals and a oneway bus ticket a town over spoke volumes for his past situation. The sun beat down on his tanned skin, but this morning it was refreshing. It was still chilly in the nights for another few weeks, and sleeping in the alley had been less than pleasant. He sincerely hoped his grungy state would not deter any job offers. It was wishful thinking. The sound of a horse trotting into town slowing to walk made his ears perk up. Shadow looked from under his black stetson as a well cared for mare strode proudly onto the cobbles.

He watched a blonde man ride in like he did every day. Shadow could tell from a single glance he knew exactly how to ride that horse and had since he could toddle. He tied her up and posted a little paper on the local square's community board. He perked up as the man walked away to conduct other business in town. Shadow read his two favorite words, his prayers to the Goddesses heard: “Help Wanted.”

Reflections of Love

Flinging Four/Shadow into the night sky as the clock ticks over to midnight. Happy late Valentine's Day.

Love can mean so much

It can be so very many things

It can be the way you wake up beside them

It can be the things you say before falling asleep.

It can be the kisses that brighten your day,

As a red tunicked boy grabs your face.

A kiss to one cheek and then another.

A peck to your forehead and a bump of noses.

It can be the breath taking kiss

That your love presses to your lips.

Taking away all thoughts but him.

Just leaving his love on your lips and in your heart.

It can be the countdown of minutes

As you wait for him to be ready for your date.

The anxiety and excitement over where he's taking you.

Feet tapping as you wait for his hand in yours.

Sitting across each other as you laugh and chat.

Letting each other try your order

As the experience makes your heart warm

With the sincerest of care and joy.

It can be the wrapping of handmade gifts,

Lovingly thought of, meticulously planned.

Hours spent crafting or searching

Until you finally have it!

It's the excitement of tearing it open,

Joy sparkling in your eyes as you pull it out.

A one of a kind piece, Something you have to protect at all costs;

While your partner is flustered by your joy.

It can be the comfort of a meticulously made blanket fort,

One of a kind and hiding them away from their jobs,

A place where they can relax, cuddled up while reading.

Whispering to each other over giggles.

It can be the ease of knowing your love is right beside you,

Looking over their shoulder at the new page spread out.

Warm and comfy, soft and relaxing

Whispers passed back and forth to keep their oasis safe.

It's a shooting star passing by,

It's a meteor entering orbit.

It's watching you love

Fall asleep in your arms.

After a night full of star gazing

To show them how much they mean to you.

And a day full of being loved

In all the ways that matter to you.

Red kisses,

Green dates,

Blue gifts,

Violet affection,

And a night sky that could never hold all of your love for them.

For your light

For your other half

For Link.

Acting Tough

I am a huge multishipper, especially for the FSA boys. my hand may have slipped so here’s a short Blue/Shadow fic with some roughhousing and makeouts. it’s about the same level of ‘heated’ as the Vidow fic I wrote a while back so... enjoy!

Word Count: 1,118

Summary: Blue and Shadow get kicked out for the day until they learn to get along. Things get a bit heated.

Blue had no right to be so angry. He was used to being angry, the emotion simmering constantly at the back of his mind, ready to boil over at any little disturbance. He’d gotten it under control in the year after their adventure, but some days it would still flare out of his control, and sometimes with good reason.

Today’s good reason? Shadow was teasing him. Again.

He felt ridiculous getting so worked up over a few jokes, winks, nudges, but today was not one of his patient ones. Blue and Shadow had been forced out of the house that morning and Red said they weren’t allowed back until they learned to get along. Yeah right, as if he’d ever get along with Shadow.

Everything about the shade irked him, from that stupid smirk to the disarray of his hair and his disaffected nature. Where everything made Blue angry, nothing seemed to affect Shadow, and it really got on his nerves. They couldn’t spar because Shadow was a cheat, they couldn’t talk without the man teasing, and there was no way today would be pleasant if Shadow didn’t shut his stupid mouth already.

“Shadow, I swear to Hylia,” Blue growled after Shadow dropped yet another pun. “If you don’t shut up I’m going to punch you.”

Shadow turned, grinning, arms folded casually behind his back as he continued to walk backwards on the path. He wiggled his eyebrows tauntingly and Blue’s hands curled into fists at his sides. This should’ve been a relaxing walk through the woods. He loved this path, could walk it with his eyes closed for how many strolls he’d taken on it to cool off. Shadow was turning what should be a lovely walk into a torturous affair, and he was already fed up.

“Guess you’re not pleased as punch then?” Shadow quipped, sharp teeth glinting in the afternoon sun as his grin widened.

Blue felt his anger boil over, fist raising--

And then Shadow tripped on a root and fell on his backside with an undignified yelp.

Blue stared down at the shade, snorting out a laugh as Shadow glared up at him petulantly from the ground. His anger faded, giving way to mirth as Hylia answered his prayers. Then magic wrapped around his ankle and tugged. Blue fell on his butt, face heating fast as Shadow cackled on the ground beside him, and just like that the anger returned.

“Shut up,” Blue growled, glaring at Shadow as he continued to laugh.

“Fucking make me,” Shadow cackled, and Blue lunged, tackling him.

Shadow continued to chuckle under Blue’s hold, arms braced on his shoulders and chest as they rolled, Blue’s tunic grasped tightly in his fists. Blue grunted as Shadow threw his weight off, rolling until Shadow was on top, grin feral in victory as he panted.

“Not so tough now, are you?” Shadow huffed, and Blue felt heat rush to his face and crackle in his chest.

He grasped Shadow’s tunic and tugged him down roughly, knocking his forehead against the shade’s. Then a fist connected with Blue’s jaw, splitting his lip, and Blue forced his way on top again. Shadow panted beneath him, still grinning, one eye closed as red bloomed across his left cheekbone. Blue felt a throb in his jaw, tasted iron in his mouth, adrenaline coursing through him as he pinned Shadow down. Their eyes locked, blood red against icy blue, and something in his chest sang.

Blue’s lips crashed against Shadow’s, teeth clacking and lip stinging. It was anger and adrenaline that pushed him forward, but when Shadow’s lips moved against his, when hands tugged roughly at his hair, it was hunger that kept them pressed together. The kiss was sloppy and frantic, hands grasping hard at one another. Blue pulled away for a second to catch his breath and it was overly warm in the inches between them, dirt on their clothes and sweat slicking the backs of their necks.

Shadow surged up, lips connecting briefly, then away again. Back and forth, Blue couldn’t decide if he wanted him closer, if this was wrong, if he even enjoyed it. But each brush of their lips sent electricity down his spine, each shared breath made the fire in his chest crackle, and each time Shadow pulled back even slightly his skin prickled with the need to have him back. Closer, too close, not enough--Blue’s forehead rested against Shadow’s shoulder as he gasped for breath.

Shadow’s teeth met his neck, biting down hard enough to break the skin, a delicious sting before Blue groaned and pulled Shadow’s hair back. The shade grinned, licking his lips as Blue glared.

“If anyone is biting anyone, it’s going to be me biting you.” Blue growled, Shadow’s chuckle vibrating through their pressed chests.

“Then bite me already,” Shadow hissed back.

Blue tugged Shadow’s hair again, relishing the grunt of discomfort he got in return, and grinning against the salty skin of Shadow’s neck as his teeth made the shade groan. He bit down just below Shadow’s jaw, rolling the skin beneath his teeth before he sucked hard.

“Ah, fuck,” Shadow moaned, and Blue smirked.

Shadow’s gasps and groans became music to his ears as Blue worked his way down the column of his neck, sucking bruise after bruise into grey skin. The hands in his hair tightened, relaxed, and when Blue reached Shadow’s collarbone they grasped onto his back for dear life. By the time Blue pulled back, Shadow’s neck was a mess of bruises and bites, the shade’s red eyes lidded and grip lax.

“Who’s the tough one now, huh?” Blue laughed, earning himself a weak shove.

Blue rested back on his heels as Shadow sat up, gaze turned away and cheeks flushed darkly. The shade touched his left cheek with a slight wince, the redness already giving way to what would be a nasty bruise. Blue’s jaw still throbbed but he couldn’t help the guilt that nestled between his ribs as the adrenaline wore off.

“Sorry, that was a bit, uh--” Blue stumbled over his words, but Shadow shook his head, a softer smile on his lips.

“I started it, and besides,” Shadow chuckled, eyes sparkling mischievously. “I was trying to get a rise out of you. I wanted this.”

“...you wanted me to headbutt you in the face.”

Shadow deadpanned, blushing deeper, and in lieu of answering he surged forward, pressing a soft kiss to Blue’s lips.

“We’re both idiots who suck at the feelings thing.” Shadow muttered as he pulled away. “We’re perfect for each other.”

Shadow sat back, laughing before he even finished the joke, and Blue found his anger had evaporated entirely as he laughed along.

This one is a little darker than usual.

Green Vs The World: official promotional image

I worked on this for a few days and I’m so so proud of it!! I’m proud of this AU in general but there’s a lot of stuff going on here in this piece, symbolism and designs and vibes and everything and it makes me grin. I pulled characters from a bunch of other Zelda games for this bc the Four Swords roster isn’t nearly large enough lol

Let’s see if you can recognize them all! (Don’t look at the tags that’s cheatinggg)
