just read your majoras mask post and i wish i could hug young link so bad😭 I then thought of what would happen if its LU and reader stumbles upon Time, who hasn't seen them since Majoras Mask. The reunion would either be devastating or really cute since hes old and seeing a parental(ish) figure again😭🩷

UR SO BIG BRAIN ANON. FUCK, I CAN NEVER MAKE HIM HAPPY

making a big strong leader be sad and cry for his parental figure fuels me with so much joy

It's a quiet night for the Chain as they all chatted amongst each other while setting up camp for the night. Wild is preparing a a fire, so he could make plans for dinner with Warriors helping him by going through the recipes that he saved on his slate. Wind, Legend and Hyrule are sitting together and speaking about their homes; Wind mostly talking about how he misses his younger sister and his grandma.

Twilight has left to keep an survey the surrounding area. Separate from the group so he could transform into his wolf form without the others knowing. Sky and Four are besides the cook and captain as they had a soft conversation about Sky's sword during his time in the Knight Academy, and when he was forging the Goddess Blade/Master Sword.

Meanwhile Time is sitting a bit farther away; not too far that he couldn't hear them but he's able to have his own space. He’s been feeling heavy these days as it takes a mental toll on him. Attempting to be the voice of reason isn’t easy even though he is in a body that now matches his mind.

Time doesn’t understand the heaviness that he has been feeling as their journey continues; the years long exhaustion seeping into his bones as he watches the rest interact with each other. A small nagging in his skull refuses to allow him a moment of relief. Urging him to get up and not stay idle which causes the older man to let out a sigh.

Which turned out to be a good idea when two sets of footsteps could be heard approaching the camp. Time turned to look at where the noise was approaching which in turned caused the rest of the hero’s to tense up slightly.

If old man Time notices something first, the others will follow suit. Instead of the noise of monsters which most of them can recognize; it was instead the voice of Twilight with a familiar one in tow. Everyone relaxed when they realized it was the Rancher, but were curious on who was he bringing. It was unusual for him to bring a civilian into their camp.

Except as soon as they were in view it made sense. The civilian was roughed up and had scratches and scrapes all over their body as if they had been running away from something. Although they acted as if they were fine, smiling and making exaggerated gestures for Twilight. A slight distraction one as would a parent would to distract a child from something

It seemed to work as Twilight was fully engaged in conversation and only broke out of it when Hyrule reacted first and approached them. They smile at Hyrule and began introducing themselves as the boy checks up on the civilian, upon seeing the injuries on them.

That voice. Time’s ear gave a slight twitch upon hearing them speak, as a sudden coldness enveloped his body. He knows that voice. Holy shit, Time fucking recognized who is speaking to Hyrule and Twilight.

Time needs to step away; as he felt his own body began to tremble at the memories of his past adventures with them. He can’t show weakness in front of the others. If he starts acting up then everyone will become suspicious of them even though they have done no wrong.

Quickly he gets up before approaching Warriors and muttered some excuse about him needing to take a walk. Warriors, who understands that Time had a lot on his plate recently, agreed and reassured that he and Twilight will keep watch over everyone.

In an instant, Time is walking away from the group as he felt someone’s gaze on his back.

The sun is gone by the time he returns to the camp.

Time curses himself for leaving for so long. He wasn’t supposed to be gone for a long time; he merely needed time to recollect his thoughts and get his act together before approaching them again.

The scarred man lets out as sigh once he catches sight of the campfire. His body slowly begins to relax once he spots the rolled out bedrolls that are occupied by the rest of the group.

As he nears closer he counts the ones who a sleeping, noticing that the only one that isn’t asleep is Wild. Said man is by the fire and already staring at the older hero and quietly goes up to him, “Time, you’re back.” He states softly, trying not the wake the others from their sleep.

Time nods and scans the younger man for anything that could be bothering him, “Yes, sorry for being gone until nightfall, it wasn’t my intention I just-“

“Needed to clear your head?” Wild interrupts with a small smile of understanding. In which Time lets out a small sigh before humming in agreement.

“Is everything alright? How was….the civilian that the Ranch hand brought?” He asked.

As if barely remembering about them Wild slightly shuffled on his feet, “They’re fine! It’s just that……”

The Hero of Time raises a brow at him, “Did something happened while I was gone?” He questioned as he placed his hands on his hips.

“No! Nothing bad happened it’s just, they were determined to repay us by keeping watch and letting us all rest,” Wild responds before turning away and looks behind him; Time follows his gaze. Sitting away from them on a log near the edge of camp is them; staring out into the woods and appears to be keeping watch as Wild says.

”Huh….. I would’ve assumed that one of you would be weary of letting a stranger be in charge of your safety.” Wild lets out a slight wince at his words, and a hand comes up behind his neck as he remembers what happened a few hours prior.

“You’re not wrong, in fact the Veteran was the first one to express his distaste at the idea who was then backed up by Wars.”

Wild explains how after the two voiced their opinions and how they’re greatful at the thought, but they didn’t trust them. The civilian nodded in understanding before they began interacting with the rest. Somehow as the sun was begun to set and everyone ate their meals; did they all began to grow tired as their journey from today hit them unusually hard.

Warriors pulled Wild to the side and explained how Time was still out there and how they might need to go search from him, but that was when the Civilian spoke up. Saying how they’re sure that he’ll arrive soon and to soothe their worries they’ll stay up to wait for his return.

Reluctantly, Warriors agreed as his exhaustion doubled before crawling into his bedroll and promptly passing out. Leaving Wild and them awake as Wild fights off sleep; keeping them company as they waited for Time to return.

“I know it’s ridiculous for a group of hero’s to lower their guard to someone unfamiliar, but for some reason…. I feel as if……”

“As if you know them from somewhere?” Said Time gently, now understanding where he was coming from. Wild nodded as he looked down, finally realizing how tired he was.

Time put his hands on Wild’s shoulders and gave them a comforting squeeze, “I’m here now, go rest.” He says softly with a slight tone of appreciation, “Thank you, for waiting Wild.”

The young man nodded before walking limply to his own bedroll and collapsing as well.

He watched Wild fall asleep completely as an attempt to delay the inevitable, but Time knew it was futile and he knew that they would still be waiting. After a few moments passed did he begin to walk over to the edge of camp where they sat.

He sat down next to them without thinking twice, but didn’t look at their face. He had a feeling that string holding himself together would snap if he looked at them.

But it would be broken anyway since they made the first move.

“I’m sorry for leaving without goodbye.”

Time tenses before dropping his face into his hands, letting out a silent sob, in an attempt to hide himself from view.

A gentle hand lands in his hair as it begins to comb through it, and once more he’s pulled back into his memories during his journey through Termina. Of the same hand running through his hair in the aftermath of a battle that took a toll on him.

Losing all strength that is holding himself together; Time collapses on himself and curls up to them. Losing all rationality and just wants to be held by them again as he clings on their clothes.

“It’s okay, I’m here now Link.”

Their voice calls out to Time as their other arm wraps around his back to hold him closer. As he cries to himself as the memories of Termina returns full force, the amount of times he failed the people of the town. The moments where he messed up and had to start over again-

He failed to save that girl’s father.

He failed to reunite Kafei and Anju.

He failed to protect Romani from those monsters.

He failed-

Humming interrupts his train of thought as he opens his eyes in shock. The feeling of a hand rubbing his back and another in his hair brings him back to them, as he leans his head on their chest.

Relaxing into their hold as he listens to their heartbeat and to their humming of a familiar song.

Finally.

Someone else sings for his sorrows to heal.

Wouldn't You Like?

Hey guys? I finally posted something after months! This is based off an idea from discord where we were just bouncing ideas back and forth and ended up with Child of Hermes! Reader! I wanted to write more but I decided to just post with what i have!

This has no romance! It's platonic!

hope you enjoy!

The scenery of the world ahead is bright with waves of mountains that reach high into the sky. Accompanied by the lows of the valleys, and the connections of the rivers into the lakes and oceans. This is vastly different from the world that they were familiar with; although they were aware that things like this did exist back home it would be difficult to even visit. But with this quest that was given to them, it allowed them to see many things that weren't even possible, except for certain things. [Name] blinked sluggishly as they held their weapon close to them, sparing a glance to the monsters that lay on the ground that would soon disappear into clouds of purple smoke. 

A frown is on their face as they carefully sheathed their sword. Although they were glad that a quest was chosen for them; they didn’t expect for them to travel to a different dimension. A curse is at the tip of their tongue. It was supposed to be a simple search quest, they were to find their father’s petasus and return it back to camp. Instead it was derailed by a shadow entity that interrupted a battle against the monsters; all they remembered was darkness and then a splash of color before falling into something.

That was a few days ago, currently they are wandering the land trying to find something familiar. So far there has been nothing recognizable; the language of this place is completely different from what she knows. The currency was surprisingly easier to gather, on the 2nd day [Name] began swinging their sword absentmindedly at the grass, small green gems appeared. With each chance they had they collected as much as they could and began hoarding their rupees. 

It’s now day 15 of being stranded in an alternate dimension with no way of being able to contact camp. During the day [Name] would explore and gather supplies and keep moving. Too paranoid to stay in one place since they’re unsure if any of the monsters followed them. Thankfully, their weapon stayed with them since there are monsters, but not the ones that they were trained to fight against. These creatures were more like wild animals, but still if anything tried to attack they did not hesitate to fight back.

At night, it is a bit more different. The world normally sleeps, but this one brings out skeletal monsters from the ground and eye-ball bats roam the sky. [Name] sets up a miniature shelter for rest, and to stay hidden from anything that could be after them. Without any way to create a rainbow there was no use for using the drachma that was given to them. Yet that didn’t stop them from attempting to contact the Gods; [Name] would call for their camp director. Although they had a feeling Mr. D hadn’t answered a prayer in a long time. They even tried praying to Iris herself for any spark, but they hadn’t felt a thing.

Desperation had kicked in one night; [Name] terrified that they might not be able to get home, called for their father. They hadn’t heard a thing from him since they were claimed, which was also the same day they gained a quest. Tears falling down their face as they stared at the fire and prayed for guidance, or even a small hint that he was there.

It was faint but [Name] could’ve sworn they felt something reach for them; not wanting to lose the sensation they reached for an apple from their bag and tossed it into the fire. An offering to show that they were still there. That feeling lingered as long as it could, almost as if it was trying to reassure them. Openly weeping as whispers slipped from their lips, “Please…please…if this is reaching you. Help guide me home, father.”

It took a few more days for [Name] to properly meet the Heroes of Hyrule. It was like everything clicked once they met; funny enough they were able to understand the heroes which made them explain how they ended up in Hyrule. In return they shared their stories of being pulled from their home by the same portal that took them. 

The group took them in and explained where exactly they ended up, the Hero of the Wild’s Hyrule, which happened to be giant and filled with more monsters than what the others were used to. The strenuous journey looking for the monsters that needed to be killed before being sent somewhere else that needed their assistance was slowly taking a toll.

Thankfully, they found one of the stables that was established years after the calamity that struck the world 100 years ago. Wild brought them to it because they were all tired from sleeping outdoors and they wanted to sleep on a bed properly, especially Sky and [Name]. Once Time and Wild paid for the beds, the rest of the Chain piled their equipment together and began to explore the small area surrounding the stable. Except they had to drag Sky away from one of the beds since they knew he wouldn't get up for hours.

Wind and Warriors were playing with the dog that was messing with the sheeps in the back. Twilight was speaking to Beedle and selling some of the insects that he collected while looking at what he had in stock.

 As the others stayed near Wild when he began to retrieve ingredients from the Sheikah Slate to create their meal for the day, having smooth conversation about their adventures.

“I’m just saying we all started with one simple favor of doing something for others! The next thing we knew, we’re doing way bigger than what we agreed to.” Hyrule spoke as the others muttered to themselves. 

Time thought for a moment before responding, “You’re not wrong…I was just supposed to collect stones and return them to the King of Hyrule.”

[Name] was sitting on the ground when they felt something tug at them. They ignored it before chiming with the others, “This is my first quest! I was just supposed to find my Father’s helmet and bring it back.” 

That caught Legend’s attention as he stared at them, “Wait seriously? You were only sent to retrieve only a helmet for your father?”

 [Name] shrugged but nodded their head which made Four laugh at the scenario, “Oh man, and you ended up somewhere else far from your original goal. Are you sure you're not another one of us?” He teased as [Name] rolled their eyes until that tugging sensation came again, but much more harsher. 

Legend interrupted again, “But how important is your father for there to be a quest to retrieve his helmet?” Which made [Name] pause for a moment as they gathered their thoughts on how to explain who their father was.

Footsteps interrupted their thought as it came closer to the group; the rest of the Chain perked up when the person approached. It was a man in a white tank top, shorts, and sandals with a satchel at his hip and a bright red hat with an image of a bunny on it. 

Suddenly [Name] crashed into the ground before shoving the boy that jumped on them, “Mail is here!’ Wind cheered until he landed on the dirt beside the [color] haired person. The Post man laughed at the interaction before reaching into his bag, and began sorting through their respective letters, “Mail for a Mister Link! In fact, multiple letters are addressed to him!”  

Wind took the pile from his hands, “We got it from here! We’ll be sure he gets them, sir!” Time leaned over and began passing out everyone’s own mail. The Chain began to get excited as they went through what they were sent. 

Meanwhile [Name] smiled softly as they watched them speak about their friends and family back home. Although they had silently hoped that something came for them. But they knew it would be impossible, they haven’t heard anything from their Father since that night. Not once have they felt it again even when they burned off a portion of their dinner to him for days. [Name] didn’t want to think what happened that night was something they made up, yet deep down they held onto the belief that he did listen.

A small burst of laughter came from the Post Man which caused [Name] to glance up, slightly forgetting that he was still there. They gave the man a hesitant smile before speaking, “Uh sorry, were they supposed to pay for your services? I could-”

“No! No! There’s no need.” He spoke up his eyes never leaving them, “Well they have nothing to give me, but you do.”That caught Twilight’s attention as he slightly narrowed his eyes at the Postman; this also caused Wild to stop what he was doing. [Name] a bit confused by what he meant frowned slightly as they stared up at him.

“They have something to give you?” Questioned Twilight as he neared the duo, getting ready to intervene if need be. The Postman let out a dramatic sigh before removing his hat, and placing it on his chest. 

His lips curled mischievously as he disregarded Twilight and focused on the Demi-god, “Why your name, darling! It’s the first time we’ve met. If you’re going to be one of my regulars shouldn’t I know who you are?” A tone of slight humor is laced as he spoke which unnerved the group of heroes.

But for the young demi-god they felt a sense of familiarity from him; the tugging they felt earlier appeared to be pulling them towards the Postman. Without hesitation they reached for their bag and in their hand was the petasus; the item that caused them to end up in this world. 

A grin spreads on the Demi-gods lips, similar to the Postman as they hand him the petasus, “I have a feeling that you might know who I am already.”

Time stood up from his spot and stepped forward, “[Name] he has never met you before; how could he know you?” His voice stern as his gaze never left them, the tension was thick amongst the group. Normally the Postman never sticks around after delivering his mail to them; too devoted to his job to be distracted or be pushed behind. This whole thing was unnerving them.

The Postman took the petasus from their hand, and casually placed it on his head, “Thank you, my dear, for returning it to me.” His voice slipped into one [Name] heard before in their youth. As a light covered the Postman, momentarily blinding the others.

When the light dispersed there where the Postman stood was an entirely different person. A man with brown curly hair that framed his face, the same petasus on his head which caused a shadow to form on his face, covering his eyes. Winged feet flapped as he was lifted a few inches off the ground and stared at [Name] with a fond smile. 

[Name] without hesitation reached out their arms towards him as the man met them halfway and held them in his arms. “I got you, darling, there’s no need to worry.”

A sob escaped their lips as they felt the warmth of his arms wrapped around them, "You came. You actually heard my prayers." Hermes hummed as he slightly rocked them back and forth; a hand rests on their head, "I'm sorry that I made you doubt me."

For The Dancing And The Dreaming

Guys idk how I’m doing this on mobile I usually post it on my laptop so idk if this will look good. Anyways it’s 4:30 in the morning and this is not edited. I wrote this spur of the moment bc I’m an idiot that doesn’t know how to write.

This is no specific Link! I wrote this bc I’m TRYING to write my own LOZ fic but got distracted. Either way I’m tired

You watch the roaring fire as it flickers in the night. The light from it shines around the area as you exhale softly. There is no point in camping outside anymore, but it's something that the both of you keep doing even after the adventure is over. 

It's the familiar feeling of having to take a quick rest before continuing to the next destination. The same feeling of having to rest with each other, having the world shut off, and being able to take a moment.

Footsteps approach your position before coming to a stop beside you, looking up and seeing the person who you; you’ve known your entire life. You're both older than when you first started the journey, for it caused you many physical challenges but still there are moments where you feel as though you’re back to before it all. 

Tonight is another night of thinking of the past; the bad and good, your accomplishments and your failures. They all still haunt you to this day even if your deeds were good. 

The weight of being back to nothing more than those kids again; the kids who had their own small bubble without knowing more than the whole world. Their only concern is if they'll be caught messing around again, or what new activity you'll try this time before getting bored and going back to the old ways.

A hand gently grasping onto yours pulls you out of your thoughts. Which makes you look up at him and witness the adoring smile he gives you. From the moment everything started he kept looking at you with the same emotion, but if you were to be honest, he held that look far before everything. Link, although not a very talkative person, is able to convey everything that he wants to say in different ways and still be able to express everything.

Watching him change from the boy you used to know to a hero who saved Hyrule; it made you happy to know that you were there the entire time. That he was able to rely on you and your own skills; and how you were able to also rely on him as well.

Never would either you believe that this was your destiny, but you're glad that you both had each other.

And now here you are in each other's presence with the fire in front of you. 

"I’m glad that we were in this together, Link." You said softly and curled your fingers around his hand. He hums in agreement and leaned into you; never taking his eyes off you. 

No one calls for either of you. There is nobody that needs to be saved anymore.

It's just the both of you once more. 

If you were to tell Link before this whole thing started that you'd be with him the entire time. He'd laugh but wouldn't deny it; he'd merely give a look with a shake of his head. Anything that he did, you would be right there and jump in with him. 

The both of you were practically inseparable; if he was there doing something then you would probably be somewhere nearby. For as long as Link knew you he could confidently say that he wouldn't trust anyone else than you.

Your unwavering presence motivated him to keep going. Your snarky remarks about the monsters. The way you freely expressed your fear, but still continued to fight. It made him feel a bit better about his own fears. You were his breath of fresh air whenever the journey took a huge toll on him. How you held him during the moments when he was able to take a break; and reassured him that he was only human that couldn’t shoulder everything. You shared his burden without a word and just held him in your arms.

Link liked you.

He always has if he's being honest, but it was during that moment where it fully clicked that he was fully unashamedly in love with you. Link wanted nothing more than to kiss you; to show his love and affection just for you.

Link decided at that moment that he will be there for you from that moment on. He may be Hyrule's Hero, The Golden Goddesses Chosen Hero, forever destined to pick up the Blade of Evil's Bane.

But for you he'll be anything for you.

He will be your hero until the next lifetime. Neither time nor death will separate him from you for he'll always find you no matter what. 

Suddenly he stood up and pulled you with him and held you close. Staring into your eyes with many emotions running through them. 

“[Name], I want you to know that I love you.” Link spoke softly as he kept holding you. You blink at him since it’s been awhile you’ve heard him call your name; relaxing in his hold you smile.

 “You’ve been through this whole thing with me even though I didn’t ask you to,” he continues, “So now, I want to be there for you with anything you need. I love you and I can’t see myself without you being near me.” He confesses.

He would do anything just to have you by his side, “I would bring you gems, jewelry; I will defend you from any creature that tries to hurt you, if you’ll have me-” Link chokes up a bit as he feels his emotions take a hold of him.

You reached out and held his face in your hands, and brought him closer to you. “I don’t have any use for gems nor jewelry. I don’t care if you can protect me or not, I will gladly stay by you.”

Laughing gently at your words, Link places his head onto yours as you run your fingers through his hair. “My dear, I could never be cruel to deny you nor my love. As long as I’m beside you; I am satisfied.” You continued before closing your eyes and leaning onto him.

The world may never call for Link anymore, but that’s fine with him. As long as he has you he’ll forever be hopelessly in love.

[sleepingdayaway]

You were a wonderful experience.

Characters: Warriors, Wind, Hyrule, Wild, Time, Twilight, Legend, Four, Sky. Dark Link (mentioned)

Fast paced since I'm writing this at night and running on vibes only. I'm so sorry if it's terrible.

The soft sound of in sync breathing can be heard amongst the buzz of insects that's around them. The group of Hyrule's heroes silently stare ahead in shock as they take in the object that it ahead of them. Glimmering rainbow light emerges from the portal as it hovers slightly above the ground. Emitting an aura of something from out of this world; it's a bit intense than what the group is used to.

A shaky exhale escapes from the one, who's this portal is meant for. Your vision blurs as tears threaten to escape. The realization that you might finally be able to return home. After all this time and suffering.

Hesitantly you take a step forward towards the portal. It was so close. Just a few more feet and you'll be able to go back to everything that you left behind.

But of course. He can never make it that easy, now can he?

As if the world knew of your hope. The surrounding area suddenly rolled in a blanket of twilight. A dark misty fog began to form right in front of the portal. It begins to form a familiar figure of that damn monster that forcefully dragged you into this world.

With no hesitation in their stance; the group of heroes quickly began to try and put some distance between you and the shadow. But their efforts were in vain when multiple rushed footsteps was heard and a variety of monsters appeared.

Legend immediately went back to back with Four as the both of them decided to tackle with the green Bokoblins from Twilight's home. Meanwhile Twilight and Wild are side by side dealing with a Lizalfos from the Time's Hyrule. Those fucking things are agile as hell.

Sky and Wind are currently facing one of the Wizzrobes from the Great Sea. In which normally, the sailor would be delighted to deal with one of them but under these circumstances it was in the way. Hyrule is closer to Time as he fights off a few Skulltula's; Warriors is right next to him assisting so he won't get overwhelmed.

Time, assessing the situation at hand, placed himself in one of the hardest decisions he has done so far in their entire journey. Face their entire focus on the monsters, so that they could deal with the Shadow head on but they would leave you vulnerable. Or assist you and deal with the Shadow, but it would be overwhelming with the monsters.

Having one of the boys to work with you could give a higher chance of surviving, but taking count of all the monsters that are currently surround them. It would be impossible.

The Shadow made sure that no matter what decision Time made, you'll still be at risk.

For once, throughout the entire time he has been traveling. Did his face betray him, and an emotion of fear crossed his scarred face. There was no way was Time willing to lose you again. He just got you back.

He was pulled from his thoughts when the sword of a Stalfos swung at him. With a quick slash from his own blade caused the skeleton to drop to the ground. Either way Time made his choice.

"There isn't much time! [Name] hurr-"

"You all better stay the fuck there!"

Your voice echoed across the area. It was filled with such hate and desperation as you stared down the one who chased you across lands. It's sinister smirk haunting you as it doesn't move an inch. Appearing to enjoy this little staring contest.

Every single one of them flinched at the sound of your voice. They all desperately long to be by your side, and make sure no harm comes to you. But with that tone in your voice made them stay in place.

They all decided to listen to you, and leave you to your own devices.

Time digs his teeth into his lips before closing his eyes for a moment. He steadies his weapon and faces a different target, "Well, you heard them! We continue fighting and provide back up." He takes a another swing at the incoming monsters, "We leave the Shadow to them!"

It's over.

You hold the sword in your hand. The one Four made for you earlier on in your journey when you were barely being taught how to wield one properly. It was one of your most prized possessions.

Dark Link has returned to its place among the shadows. Your hand is shaking as you stare down where he once stood. Red eyes, burning with hatred as he cursed you out.

Your body fails you halfway into your thoughts as you collapse on the grass. Immediately the boys are beside you; Hyrule being the first one to reach you. Taking care of your external injuries first and foremost, but it seemed that you were heavily exhausted since you just leaned on him.

Warriors is there next, as he gently held you, so that Hyrule could work properly. The rest of the Chain are trying to patch each other up; they didn't mind with you being the main priority.

After some time has passed that allowed for the entire group to recover, did everyone finally acknowledge the portal once more.

Everyone knew that this portal wasn't for them. It had a much more powerful presence, and an unbearable pressure. Almost as if it was trying to push away the heroes, but for you?

It was if it was calling for you. As if it knew that you didn't belong here; a call for you, that it was time for you to return home.

With trembling legs did you stand up, and remove yourself from Hyrule and Warriors. Taking simple steps towards the unworldly portal, as it pulses like a faint heartbeat.

Immediately the boys tried to reach for you when they realized where you were going, but the pressure emitting from the portal was too strong. They collapsed a few feet away from you; from behind Wind perks up and follows after but he too suffered from the same thing.

Twilight comes after but only with the goal of gathering the boys, and bringing them back. He knew that he wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure and he despises that. Wanting desperately to grab you too.

Sky appears besides him and grabs Wind with Legend coming from behind to help Warriors. Time is silent as he watches the entire thing, a feeling of dread coils in him. Four is beside him holding onto Wild, who's moving and thrashing around trying to get to you.

Until everything stops.

The surrounding area disappears and they have appeared in a familiar place.

Instead of the luscious green forest with the varying wildlife. They are now in the place that brought the group of heroes to their destiny. A chamber of tall walls with a high ceiling; with only one window that has sunlight shinning down on them.

Time immediately recognized this place, and for a moment his heart drops to his stomach.

You stand before the portal. Tall and unwavering as you brought a hand out to reach towards it. It was finally time for you to leave. It pulses as if sensing you nearby as something shoots out from within.

Turning your head to look back at your heroes did it all came crashing down on you. In an instant all of the dialog that you practiced in your head for this moment, disappeared.

All you could do was stare at them as they struggled to comprehend that this was really it.

Until finally did you muster up the courage to give them a loving smile. The tears that were building up from your eyes freely fell. Only a sentence echoed in your head. Those would be your final words. Focusing on them as you walked back into the portal. Your eyes never once leaving them.

"You were a wonderful experience."

A hushed silence fell on the group. As they watched helplessly, unable to fight for you. When you looked back at them all they could think of was how relaxed you looked.

Gone was the bright blue color of the sheikah energy that combined with you from the beginning of this journey. They all forgot how human and alive you looked before all this started.

Now you're safe.

No longer burdened with the fear of being stuck here.

They did their duty.

But they just got you back. It wasn't fair.

'You were, everything'

[sleepingdayaway]

The blood in his ears is roaring as the young boy tries to get his breathing under control as he stares up at the Clock Tower. In a few hours he'll have to go up and face the Skull Kid again, but this time he won't have to play the Song of Time again just to prepare. The boy feels his throat swell up just by thinking about it. His vision on the edge of blurring as he tries to will the tears away.

He's nervous yet he shouldn't be, this fight is nothing compared to his battle with Ganon. At least, he didn't fail this town for 7 years. Except Ganon was a battle that was determined for him long before he was born, this one was something that was just thrown upon him. In his heart he can't allow these people to die by the falling moon.

His view of the clock tower is ruined by the tears he tried desperately not to let fall. He's stuck as a 10 year old even if mentally he was no longer the fairy boy that began this journey. Barking from the wild dog in the square isn't helping with his mood, nor is the loud voices of the construction workers as they prepared for the festival. Some stubborn to pretend that their home wouldn't be destroyed by the grinning moon.

Until the sound of footsteps coming closer to him causes him to tense up, and attempt to wipe the tears away. A shadow is cast over his face as it goes down as the person gently guides his face lower to face them. His tears freely fall down his cheeks as his smaller hands clutch the ones holding him. Link's eyes open to look at the person who's kneeling in front of him.

A soft smile is on their face once Link's eyes has opened up. [Name] stares down at him fondly; there is no hint of disgust nor any emotion of exasperation on their face. In all honesty, they were getting a bit worried about him since this entire journey he was putting on a brave front.

That's right.

[Name] has been exploring with him from the moment he entered Termina as a Deku Scrub. He remembers meeting them for the first time inside the Clock Tower with the Happy Mask Salesman, an eccentric man, who would help Link, return to how he was, in return for his mask. [Name] was there with them and volunteered to assist Link in collecting it; their excuse was that it would be better if he had a helping hand. although tatl would disagree at first.

Link was unsure of [Name] when they left the tower. He didn't know if they joined, purely for the thought of wanting to help him, or because they had alternative motivations. But it was shown that they did wanted to help him without anything in return. Assisting in playing hide-n-seek with the Bomber gang, and exploring the Astral Observatory.

When the first three days were ending and they stood side by side, staring up at the Skull Kid watching as he called the Moon closer, did an idea form in his head. Using the ability of the deku; he struck at the imp and was able to obtain his ocarina. Link quickly holds onto his instrument and is about to play until he stops to stare at [Name].

[Name] was smiling at him and for a moment he's reminded of ----

His breath hitches as he realized who they were, and why their voiced sounded so familiar. He slowly pulls away from the ocarina, but they speak up, "Don't falter now, Link. I'll be with you from the beginning. Save Termina."

Upon his return and being able to return as a human did he actively seek them out and dragged [Name] around in search of the four giants across the land. From exploring the swamp, and helping the monkey prove his innocence, to saving the Deku Princess from the temple, and fighting the boss. Did [Name] stuck through with him, and was quite adept at the bow and arrows they arrived with.

Link never questioned how [Name] remembered the first cycle, nor did he ask if they remembered his first journey; too afraid that they'll react negatively. So once more they explore the land together and they're together for every cycle until they were ready to face Majora. Enjoying the presence of a someone he once thought was lost forever.

But each cycle wears him down. The never ending thinking and planning about what is needed to do next. When Link acquired the bomber's notebook and realized that the people of Termina has regrets that hasn't been recovered. He placed the burden of the people's wishes on his shoulders with the intent of making sure that when he leaves. The people are happy.

Yet here he stands crying out for comfort as his own mask of strength crumbles. [Name] soothingly running their hand through his hair as they hummed the Song of Healing for him. Link clutches onto their clothes as he openly weeps. He mourns Hyrule for the 7 years he was gone, he mourns Saria, the Deku Tree and the children of the korkiri forest, his home. The childhood that stripped away from him the moment he chose to save Hyrule.

Finally, he mourns the feeling of [Name] leaving him when his journey ended. Leaving him alone and become desperate to leave just to search for them. Link lost the only person he could truly call family and has now reunited again, but for how long?

So, Link plays the Song of Time.

He takes them back to the Dawn of the First Day.

He just wants to spend more time with them.

For once, the world can wait three more days.

When he opens his eyes; he's back at the entrance of Clock Tower as Tatl is shouting at him about why he decided to go back in time. Link ignores the temperamental fairy and carries himself over to [Name]. Who waits for him, without fail, in the area where the Great Fairy resides. The same accepting and knowing smile on their face as they embrace the young boy with open arms.

Hello! First off I'd like to say your like an amazing writer and was wondering if you do any requests from different Fandoms! If you do could you maybe do a Renato Lyra x gender-neutral reader please!!

Hey! I do write for different fandoms and I love DBD! I'm a Jake Park main and recently started playing Trevor! Thank you for the request and I hope you enjoy!! <3

Fandom: Dead By Daylight

Characters: Renato Lyra, Dwight Fairfield, mentioned Skull Merchant, mentioned other survivors

Pairing: Renato Lyra x Gender-neutral Reader

The fog is thick this time as it shrouds the area as an attempt to hide everything. But lucky for [Name] they're used to it; after all they brought the offering to make it happen. If Feng came then she'll probably complain to them, or thank them later once they get out of this trial. Although looking at the landscape, it's more likely they'll be bitched at later.

Of course, the dumb fucking Entity brought them to a new area. If there's a different area then it means there's a new killer. And with a new killer there's a high chance a new person was dragged into the fog. They would rather take on The Deathslinger again, and that stupid area that looked like it came from a western film. They let out an irritated sigh before walking off to get a layout of the place.

Honestly, they kinda hope they new person was hot. They're pretty sure Kate, Dwight, and Jake are sick and tired of them going feral over anyone they deemed attractive. But they do agree that they're very useful.

[Name] is one of the few people in this place that will take their time, and fully map out where everything is; pallets, windows for vaults, where the hooks are stationed, the generators, and finally, the gates.

Quietly they approached the main area which holds a bunch of equipment and bright lights shining around. They noticed the building and spotted a few pallets, but what really caught [Name's] attention was the generator smack dab in the middle of the lights.

A chime was heard in the distance. A signal that one of the five generators was done.

They hissed when they noticed the pistons on top were moving slightly; someone already made it here but must have been rushed off. Although they would like to continue mapping the place out, since they're not sure if their next trial would even be in the same place. [Name] would rather get the fuck out of here than meet whatever sick fuck is hunting them down.

Making sure the coast was clear they walked forward, and began pulling at the wires and fixing it up. Keeping an ear out, if anybody was heading their direction, or if they felt their body succumb to panic. For awhile things were going good, until a scream of pain echoed from the other side which made [Name] flinch and cause their generator to blow up.

"Fuck!"

[Name] pulled their hands away from the machine. They shot a glare where the scream came from before abandoning their generator. They were so close to finishing it, but now they had to run before the new killer reached them. Silently praying that someone else would later finish it for them.

Running towards the edge of the available area; they sneaked towards where their fellow survivor was hooked. [Name] was grateful for Adam; who allowed them to use his perk, Deliverance. Either way they hoped nobody else got them from hook yet, or else they're fucked until another person got strung up, that wasn't [Name].

Reaching the hook [Name] noticed that the person was still hanging. But what caught their attention was that somebody else was there. Yet they didn't do anything to get them down. It appears they were having a small conversation.

Getting closer to the two people; they immediately recognized the person on hook. It was Dwight, which caused [Name] to rush forward because they remembered that he usually brings the, We'll Make It perk. Once they got closer, they could admit to themselves that the other guy was quite attractive. (Underneath all the fear) His outfit looked comfortable, but his shoes were not fit for this scenario. He's wearing sandals for fucks sake.

The man broke out of his conversation when [Name] got closer; he faced them quickly, clutching his arm and looked ready to run away. "Wait! Wait! Wait- agh!" Dwight called for him but cut himself off with a groan of pain, "They're one of us!"

[Name] showed their hands in a surrender motion before giving the man a tense smile. Renato stared down [Name] as they reached for Dwight, carefully bringing him down. They began mending his wounds. He did in fact bring We'll Make It. "So... new guy, huh?" They muttered to the glasses wearing man without stopping their motions. Taking quick glances at the other guy, who stands there awkwardly.

Dwight sighed, knowing what they're thinking after being in so many trials together. He called for Renato step closer; which he did but with hesitance. He didn't help with the mending. [Name] didn't really care and kept going as Dwight explained who they were and what was going on.

"Long story short, we're fucked either way!" [Name] said cheerfully as they dusted off their hands once they were done. Renato's eyes follows their actions; he crossed his arms as he thinks over the information that was given to him. [Name] absolutely want this handsome man to keep his eyes on them. Although they would rather not show how much they're drooling over him. Dwight straightened up as he looked around, "We've been idle here for too long. We should separate, I was able to finish a gen before the killer got me." He says shuffling on his feet.

The other man looked alarmed at the mentioned of splitting up. "Hold on, shouldn't we stick together?" God damn was his voice fucking attractive [Name] thought shamelessly.

Dwight shook his head, "Too risky right now, the new killer has some sort of drones?" His voice laced in uncertainty. Wait what the fuck does he mean that the new killer has fucking drones?

"But I really think-"

"Listen if you believe that's best then you should stick with them." He gestures towards [Name], who is checking out the new guy without shame. Dwight walks away and into the dark mist.

A look of annoyance crossed Renato's face from the dismissal as he side eyed [Name]. Who took notice of it. They smiled teasingly before bumping shoulders with him, "Hey, don't blame Dwight. He's not normally like this he's been through 3 trials back to back without rest." They explained gently which caused him to loosen up.

"It does sound like hell from what he explained." Renato muttered which made [Name] let out a soft laugh. They began walking away from hook, "Come on, let's see what you..." they trailed off when the spotted the injury on his arm.

He follows their line sight to his arm which makes him hold it closer to him "It no longer hurts, but I can still move it." he confesses. [Name] shakes their head, "Don't care, c'mon pretty boy let's go find a chest and hope it has a med kit."

"My name is Renato by the way, Renato Lyra," He responds as he followed them. Christ they might swoon over him during this whole thing. [Name] has no idea why this new guy took their heart, but god damn do they want him.

"Nice to meet you, Renato! Now, let's hope your first trial goes successfully." They said with affection in their voice as they faced forward, keeping an eye out for a chest.

Renato stares at them for a moment before a soft smile forms on lips. He's not sure how he ended up here, but he's glad that they were the one who offered to help him.

Player has the Fierce Deity Mask part 2

This is extremely short, I'm not even joking. But i did this just cause I needed to get this scenario out of my head lol

Characters: Time, Twilight, mention of Legend, and [Name]

Warnings: None.

[Name] stared at the older man with the Fierce Deity mask clutched to their body as if he's going to snatch him away from them.

Which, judging by the way he's staring at them, and flickering his eyes back and forth from their face and to the mask; he seems to be one twitch away from snatching the mask from them with or without permission either way.

The other younger men who were catching their breaths behind him were looking at them too. One of them, who happens to look very similar to the Twilight Princess version of Link, stepped up next to the older one and gave [Name] a smile to try and comfort them, but there was a gleam of uncertainty in his eyes.

"Sorry for my friend here, but I do highly recommend handing over that mask you have, over to us." He says calmly, as [Name] picked up a southern accent from him. Yet that didn’t tear them from the obvious tense, and a bit of an agitated man next to him.

"What for? I don't see your name on him, and he's already in my hands so he's mine." They replied bluntly, still side eyeing the blonde next to him, and thank goodness they did since they saw his fingers twitch for a moment.

With zero hesitation from [Name]'s part they shoved the mask inside their shirt as they stared down the scarred man. Although they do not know how to fight, god damn can they scream.

A choked sound escaped from one of the other men in the group. Another blonde man (Jesus what's up with all these blonde hair and blue eyes bitches??) With a bit of pink fading from his hair.

The Hero of Legend cringed a bit when that happened. Although he doesn't understand why the Old man is protective of that mask, he knows that it's a priceless artifact. His collector itch in his brain immediately told him to also snatch it from this random person from the way they handled the mask.

Meanwhile Time couldn't look even more distraught at what [Name] did with the Fierce Deity Mask. All his reasoning went out the window and he took a step forward towards them.

"Back up or else I will scream so loud that it will catch the attention of whatever freaky things are in these woods!" Their body position themselves as if they're getting ready to leave with any wrong move. Similar to an animal getting cornered and baring its teeth to have some control of the situation.

Until they tense up for a bit before slowly relaxing and removing the mask from underneath their shirt. [Name] eyed Time wearily before looking back down at Fierce, "He says your name is Link?"

Silence.

A heavy atmosphere is between [Name] and Time until he finally speaks.

"What the fuck?"

[sleepingdayaway]

You're my baby and I love you so much!

I got Hyrule Warriors on the switch and I was able to get Young Link unlocked as a warrior. Just seeing him and how tiny he is makes me love him even more. Idk if it's obvious yall but I might have favorites (Time)

Characters: Warriors, Time (younger version), Reader.

Warnings: Mentions of fights? We're in Hyrule Warriors yall

The air was tense.

The screeching of bokoblins following the attack of hyrulian soldiers.

The pains of anguish from said soldiers as they fought back against them.

Currently the Princess of Hyrule is leading an army against the opposing commander of the monsters around Hyrule field. Being completely honest, this was a unexpected attack but who ever is leading was pretty damn good.

Taking the charging attack on the final keep was the Legendary Hero, Link. Who recently saved the castle from the forces of Ganon. It was supposed to be another simple clean up, since there are still monsters from when the portals brought them in from different ages.

Including other warriors from those ages; Daruina, Ruto, Fi, Midna, Agitha. They all helped to protect their homes from the evil that wanted to spread across the realms. Gradually, with long and enduring battles with a few close calls did their efforts finally show.

But that meant that whatever was leaked out was still around, and that meant having to continue fighting.

The training sword cuts through flawlessly in the enemies, as Link expertly moves through the the fight. Never once removing his eyes from the monsters in front of him, which made him slightly vulnerable from behind.

A huge bokoblin notices this small error, and sneaks up with it's weapon at the ready. Making sure that he's surrounded as the others distract him, it lunges for a strike before it gets knocked down suddenly. The surrounding bokoblins jumps away when the body falls to the ground, they all screech in realization and furiously turn towards the person that attacked.

There stood [Name] with a huge frown on their face as they readied their weapons, twin cross bows. Credits to Linkle who happily lent them extras. Zeroing in on the monsters without hesitation as they backed up Link, speeding up on taking over the keep.

Once the rest of the soldiers appear to take over on guarding did they both rest for a bit. Link, sheepishly stared at [Name], as said person narrowed their eyes at him.

"You need to watch out from behind too, I can't warn you like how I used to, Link."

"I know, I'm sorry. I guess I got used to you always being with me, that I forgot you have an actual physical body now."

This was something they also were getting used to, being physically in the battle and not just controlling Link. When [Name] first appeared they panicked and refused to interact with anyone since they were afraid that the others would assume that they were a spy. Thankfully, it was Lana who found the [hair color] first and helped before leading them to the others; it wasn't until the battle was over did they all finally introduce each other.

Link recognized their voice immediately, the person who helped him during the war, and latched onto them like a leech.

Now here they were assisting everyone in making sure everything goes smoothly. Only 1 keep remains and it's the final one, the one that holds the person that orchestrated this attack.

Sprinting across the land to reach the final keep before they could think about running away. Link and [Name] made it to one of the entrances as they prepared their weapons.

Looking inside the building, it was filled with the other monsters that filled the other keeps. Except in the middle where it appears they're all surrounding their leader.

The sound of the monsters fades away as the familiar melody of an ocarina fills their ears. Link tights his grip on the master sword as he prepares his body to attack, meanwhile [Name] perks up at the melody, having recognized it from somewhere.

The song plays before it falters for a moment. It picks up again, but stops once more as if they're trying to play by memory.

The monsters part out of the way, so [Name] and Link can see the figure much more clearly.

A small child, who looks no older than 10 years old stands with his back facing them, a mask resting on the belt stares at the duo. As if knowing they were behind him; did he put the ocarina away before fixing the mask on his head. The other mask is still boring holes onto them, a dark menacing aura flows freely from it.

Until it stops.

The blonde turns around as he places the mask over his face; pulling out a sword that's slightly bigger than him and swings it around clumsily. That causes the Keaton mask to slip from his face, but he catches it before it call fall to the ground. Rearranging it to it's original position on his head.

He lifts up the sword again and looks up at [Name] and Link. A smile on his face.

How do they explain to Zelda that this is a child who looks exactly like fucking Link.

Link's grip on his sword falters, a child-

There was no way he could harm one. It must be some sort of twisted joke, but it couldn't be. Before heading over here the entire army searched every inch of land to make sure everything was cleared.

The Hero looks at his companion to see if they could do something that doesn't involve fighting, but he noticed that they're no longer next to him. Instead [Name] has already jumped in; their crossbows discarded on the ground.

Now, in their arms in the young boy, who looks up at the [hair color] person as they held him close. "LINKKKK- OH LOOK HOW SMALL YOU ARE"

The boy, Link, scrunches his face at their voice before they widen once he realized who was holding him.

A grin grows on his face as he tried to embrace [Name] back with his small limbs. Which in turn causes them to cry at the action.

Quickly rushing in to finish off the monsters that surrounded them, (Warriors) Link attacked the enemies as the other two hold each other.

Warrior's made sure they're all gone before staring at the duo with a dumbfounded expression. "Uh, sorry for interrupting a heartfelt moment, but how do you two know each other?"

[Name] looks at him before setting down Young Link, "Well, for starters he's also another person that I helped before-"

Young Link, once on the ground throws himself back towards them and attached his body at [Name's] hip.

That causes them to choke up again as tears welled up in their eyes.

"Augh-! You're my baby! You're my baby and I love you so much-"
