Maybe… Just maybe… Hope isn’t lost after all.

Found you.

Aka, one of my favorite scenes from TKSD

[cumulonimbuns]

Had a lot of people asking about the scene when Link dismisses the sages so I drew it :3 I will say I totally forgot the fact it’s specifically the avatars that are there so I colored all of this before I realized lmao. But I liked the colored version too much to not use it so instead you get both!

(Did i purposely find a way to cover almost all of Mineru? Yes. I love her, but my god is she hard to draw fhfdjhf)

For those of ya’ll who don’t know me from ao3, this is from a fanfic I wrote. It is also a SidLink fic, jsyk, but obv there’s a lot of other things happening too lol.

Summary:

It didn’t matter that his heart was breaking. That the Zora he loved was marrying someone else. That he sat there and watched him get married. Because at the end of the day Link knew he couldn’t allow himself to break. Allow himself to feel.

He had to find Zelda.

And then everything would be fine.

Or:

Link is majorly going through it, but refuses to ask for help. After learning of Zelda’s fate, Link’s journey finally takes its toll on him, and all of Hyrule is forced to come to terms with the burden their hero endures.

Link is Hyrule’s Hero, the knight who never backs down from any challenge, but what happens when the hero they all love is in need of rescuing from himself?

Or; or:

I saw all the shit Link’s been going through on his own, and decided Hyrule wouldn’t stand for it.

This is a SidLink fic, but it’s also pretty heavy on the found family regarding Link, Zelda, the Sages + some others. If that sounds up your alley than hey! Maybe you’ll enjoy this fic.

Now that ch 3 is uploaded, I can share a funny doodle thing I did as I kept thinking about Yona.

I think this sums up her perspective pretty well lmao

[cumulonimbuns]

Excuse me a moment for TKSD, as I must scream.

(Pretend there's an 80 line long string of "AAAAAAHH" I don't want to actually fill up the dash with that much junk text)

I love it. Chef's kiss. Beautiful. Sidon my beloved. Link my beloved. Flying dragon breaking out of her mindless state my beloved. Mwah.

I feel it necessary that you are making my polyam partner very, very gooshy about the polyamourous society of Zora you've made. They've been having a rough time with so many "Yona jealous of link and sidon" and "Yona blocks off link from Sidon" shit, and you and the Secret Confessions To a Sage comic by @kenneduck have literally sent them to tears of the happiness of good, easy polyamoury. They've been very gooshy.

And I can't wait to see how Chapter 5 goes. The ending of chapter 4 was soo good, and I loved the entire story. The line in chapter 1 about how Link was a tool to use for the kingdom, not a person that can have desires Mmmmmmmm good shit angst. And the Whole Breakdown was so good and aaaa Link keeps fleeing. And Yona getting right under there and swooping Link out of there I love her. I love what you have done with her. Just. Aaaaah.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

I’ll scream for you, no worries lol!

But seriously thanks so much!!!!

And towards your partner, I COMPLETELY understand. I remember finishing TOTK and excitedly running to ao3. Only to see some of the first fics with Yona was just hating on her, or turning her character into a really mean lady who you’re supposed to root against. There’s nothing wrong enjoying your gay ships, but maybe don’t vilify female characters only bc they ‘get in the way’? It reminded me WAY TOO MUCH of my time in the Sonic fandom (I’m still a part of that fandom, always, love that silly blue hedgehog <3), and ppl would do the same to Amy in a lot Sonadow fics. WHICH DROVE ME INSANE.

I will always believe the hc of: wingman Yona, supportive wife Yona, or Poly Yona. They’re all wonderful <3 Just have these bitches love each other. It’s way more fun. I know once I complete TKSD I’d rlly rlly like to write a fic about SidYonZeLink, polyamory relationships are very dear to me, and I love exploring how complicated yet wonderfully caring they can be.

BUT OMG, I ALSO LOVE KENNEDUCK!!!! The Secret Confessions comic is just *chef kiss* GLORIOUS! I’m almost POSITIVE all of ya’ll have seen/read it, but if not—YOU BETTER GO RIGHT NOW AND DO SO!!! Their Yona is also so so so wonderful, she is so soft, and she and Sidon are so soft together. I love it.

I’m excited and nervous for chapter 5! I know a lot of y’all really wanna get to Link, but it felt important to write about the Sage’s to set up a couple of future events. I meant for it to be fairly short and then have a larger section dedicated to when they find Link, but thats… not exactly what happened. Atm the doc is at an even 19k word count (dunno how i managed that), and i still have a decent amount of things to write, SO…. Yeah. A lot of this chapter is really just about the Sages and the Sage’s bonding. If that’s not what you want than you can obviously wait til chapter 6, which spoilers, will be Link’s pov and ONLY about his recovery.

Thanks so much for all your kind words!! I rlly appreciate it <3<3<3

I hope everyone has a lovely day and that you enjoy future chapters and future fics!!

Could you post a link to your fanfic/your AO3 please? I wanna read it :D

Yes, I definitely can!

Here’s a link to my ao3 acc: https://archiveofourown.org/users/StarseedV/pseuds/CumulonimBun

And here’s one for The Knight’s Self-Destruction (TKSD): https://archiveofourown.org/works/47696122/chapters/120225709

Atm TKSD is the only fic of mine, but I plan on changing that eventually! I have a lot of ideas running rampant in my brain (an insane amount, truly) but I fear if I start another one I’ll be less inclined to finish the first :P But one day…

HEY YOU! MY LOVELY READERS!!

As far as I know, ao3 is still down. Some people say they have managed to access it, but others are saying it’s still down. So I urge you all to wait until the volunteers give the all clear.

However, I decided to compile all of my docs into a big doc so you guys can read TKSD if you’d like. Chapter numbers and titles are listed as well.

If the Doc struggles (bc it is over 47k words) PLEASE let me know. I’ll compile the chapters separately into a drive if that’s the case.

Hope this can help some of y’all pass the time!!

💕💕💕

The Knight’s Self-Destruction

Chapter 1: Link Almost dying and waking up with no memories of who he used to be was awful. Not a pleasant experience that Link would eve

QUESTION/NOTICE FOR YALL

(Dunno who will see this but for those of you who do, hello lovelies <3)

Just so everyone is aware, I’m gonna take a lil break from writing for a few days bc I’ve written *looks at Ao3* over 48k words in two weeks lmao. Like literally non stop.

Plus my main gig, surprisingly enough, is art and I haven’t drawn in a while. My hands are craving it.

SO!

My question is, bc my own fic has such chokehold on me, what are some scenes from TKSD you think would be cool to see?

All suggestions are good suggestions, and can be from ANY chapter.

Hope everyone is having a good day/night <3
