I'm hero-of-prime, and welcome to my nerd blog. I'm a big nerd about a lot of things, but I'd mainly love to talk about The Legend of Zelda and Metroid! (Hence the avatar pic...and the name.) I also write some for these fandoms! I draw a bit, too, but that's more of a for fun thing.
Sharing my stuff may be slow going, but I hope you enjoy, regardless!

Current major work in progress:
A Chance For a True Peace
What if Ridley failed to kidnap the Baby Metroid? What if Samus saved it on Ceres and brought it with her to Zebes? This is an alternate telling of Super Metroid, focusing on Samus's last mission to her homeworld while she tries to protect the last Metroid, which may be the key to the galaxy's future.
Current standing: 11/? chapters published -- currently in Maridia! Chapter 11 has been uploaded!
Links to other works below!
Metroid
Her Silent Vow: Metroid Prime 4. ENDGAME SPOILERS! The story has reached its final act, but Samus refuses to accept the ending. She struggles. She fights. And she finds another way.
V For Victory (And Vengeance): Metroid Prime 2. Samus takes on the dreaded Spider Guardian, but told from U-Mos' perspective. Crack fic.
Ascension To Destruction: Metroid Prime 3. Samus is so close to getting through the G.F.S. Valhalla and ending Dark Samus's reign of terror for good. Unfortunately, she's also on the brink of total corruption.
What Comes After Zero: Metroid II. Samus kills the last Metroid, the Queen Metroid, only to find her last egg.
First Bounty: Pre-Zero Mission, pre-Samus & Joey/Metroid EX. A powerful corporation hires Samus to hunt a rampaging ex-employee, but it turns out he is far from the real problem. It was fun to give the S&J manga some love!
Reunion: Post-Fusion, pre-Dread, post-Metroid EX. Ten years after his adventures with Samus Aran, Joey Apronika tackles a mission that unknowingly sets him on a collision course with his old friend.
The Protectors: Crossover fic with Star Wars: The Clone Wars! While the Chozo elders gather with the Jedi Council on a matter of grave importance, a young Samus Aran meets a young Ahsoka Tano. Chaos ensues.
The Legend of Zelda
Ongoing series: Tales of the Kingdom: A collection of one-shots based on memories of playing Tears of the Kingdom, begun initially on its 1-year anniversary. Currently, three works are published!
The Reawakening: Just like his first adventure, Link wakes up in a cave. But this time, he remembers everything.
The Lighthouse Still Stands: Link returns to Hateno Village, worried about everything from buying clothes to whether or not the house has been sold in his absence. Imagining Zelda by his side takes the edge off.
Terror in the North: Purah and members of Lookout Landing care for a sick, wounded Link, who is either unable or unwilling to share what attacked him in Hebra.
Sign of the Century: Post-Breath of the Wild. Two years after defeating Calamity Ganon, Link pays Tarrey Town and Hudson a visit, just in time to stop a Yiga attack. Written before Tears of the Kingdom's release!
Waiting For You, With You: Skyward Sword. After sealing away Demise, Link and Zelda settle in for the night, but Link can't sleep.
If You Will Marry Me: Post-Majora's Mask. While considering the weight of his past, Link finds himself looking to the future, to his life with Malon. (Yes, it's a songfic. In my defense, I couldn't draw it!)
Linked Universe
I write for Linked Universe as well! I have a good number of fics, so here are just a few!
A Secret to Everyone, Entrusted to You: A Link Between Worlds. Unlike Link, Ravio is a coward. But, it turns out they have something in common: secrets. Written for a gift exchange! Loosely LU, in the sense that Legend went through the events of both ALBW and Link's Awakening. Angst abounds!
Hide-and-Seek: Nine Links play a game of hide-and-seek. What could possibly go wrong? Also written for a gift exchange! Humor with a side of crack.
Day on King's Mountain: The boys explore an abandoned fortress and get up to all sorts of mischief. Written for a gift exchange! Warriors-centric, slice-of-life style!
Legacy: Post-Tears of the Kingdom. When Wild discusses seeing the first queen of Hyrule, Sky has a revelation.
