Febuwhump Day Eleven: Fever

The hammock swayed beneath them, rocked by the churning sea, and Thief felt their stomach lurch with each swing. They groaned, eyes half open as they spent what little energy they had keeping themself from retching. They curled onto their side, clutching their abdomen as their head lolled over the edge of the hammock. It took them a second to register the cool hand that pressed against their forehead, and they groaned as they leaned into the touch.

Thief’s eyes fluttered open, but they squeezed shut just as quickly, as another wave rocked the ship. Words murmured above them, but they couldn’t process a thing. The groan that tore at their throat turned to a raspy wheeze, and they coughed weakly at the pain it left. The rolling in their gut spiked, and Thief curled into themself tightly, trying their hardest to stave off the wave of nausea.

Info on Thief below the cut :D

This guy was the one that revived my interest in working on this au actually! They’re the Link from Link’s Awakening, and before that particular adventure, they were a sailor! Their father is a merchant ship captain, and Thief was on his first solo sail when they got caught in the storm and stranded on Koholint.

They did, in fact, steal from the shop while on the island, earning the nickname Thief. It was originally used by the townsfolk in annoyance, but as he started to integrate into the community and prove himself, it became a more affectionate nickname. By the time Thief met the rest of the Links, it was such a natural nickname that they chose it, much to the confusion of some of the others.

Thief uses any pronouns btw! Big fan of sundresses, but doesn’t usually get to wear them cuz it’s not practical for sailing. The “epiphany” moment for me was figuring out what they looked like, which led me to make a picrew, which led me to start fleshing out the rest of these characters, so have a visual <3
